A Itravu Young Teacher.
In a town in the Rookies : , a short
while ago , a young girl , who taught in
' the little schoolhouse of the place , per-
formed an act of heroism worthy of
the highest commendation. One of her
scholars had a pet antelope , a sweet ,
docile little creature , that followed its
mistress to the school , remaining quiet
- near the door during class hours.
'
One day it lay ; as usual near the door ,
, lazily basking in the sunlight , while
the children pored over their studies.
Suddenly there came a iight thud and
a scream. There , with his fore feet
crushing the little creature , crouched
a big mountain lion , savagely switch-
ing his tail from side to side and eyeing
I the children. The little tots , scream-
ing wildly , ran to the raithest corner
huddling there in a heap. The teacher -
er , though pale with fear , did not for
a moment lose her nerve , but searched
the room for some means : of rescuing
her little scholars. Hanging on the
wall near the door was a shotgun , and
_ she determined to obtain it , although I
to do so she had to pass the lion. Summoning - I
moning all her courage , she advanced
down the room , facing the savage
beast , who stopped tearing at the an-
telope and growled ominously. Noth-
ing deterred in her purpose , however ,
she passed by him and took the gun
v
from the pegs. The lion turned his head
,
and curiously watched her as she retreated -
treated up the room again. The gun
. being empty , it was necessary to return -
turn to her desk to procure some shells
and load it. Savage from its taste of
blood , the lion left the antelope and
prepared to spring upon the group of
children. He made one leap over the :
i benches , which landed him in front of
the teacher's desk , and his eyes catch-
ing sight of her he changed his pur-
pose , and , swinging around , was about I
\ to spring upon her. Noticing this , the
teacher , who had been watching for a .
good opportunity to shoot , instead of
waiting for him to make : the leap
walked quickly up to him and before
the astonished brute could recover she
. placed the muzzle of the gun in his
ear and pulled both triggers. The recoil -
r\ \ coil knocked her over and she fell to
the floor senseless. The gun did its 1
work , however , for the lion's head was
almost blown to pieces and the brute
lay a quivering heap upon the floor.
The children ran screaming down the ;
road and men hastened to the schoolhouse - ,
"
s house , to find the brave girl recov-
- ered , but wildly trembling. After
learning the circumstances they seized
a chair , and , seating the girl in it , car-
ried her with the dead lion , . through j
the town , cheering and praising her
brave act.

An Astonished Cat. j
In a certain home in a little village
in the West a Maltese : cat had , by its ,
affectionate nature and intelligence , 1
gained a large circle of friends and ad-
mirers. J
Chiquita as she was called , had a (
very peculiar disposition. She had < <
been known to refuse to catch a young C
mocking-bird that had toppled out of
its nest and she would lie in the sun )
for hours paying little or no attention !
to the cries of the parent birds , which
had no confidence in the cat tribe , and
occasionally darted down and pecked
at her long soft fur. I
When the cat wanted game , she 1
watched the gopher-holes and lifted out '
the clumsy , shy animals by thrusting
her paw into the hole. Sometimes she
wandered off into the woods that extended -
tended down to the little town and the
.
- -
- -
.
-
t '
boys called her the "hunter-cat , " as she
, would follow them In their tramps ,
I preying upon the moles and other ani
, mals that they helped her to find.
One spring it was reported that puss
had a family o'f maltese kittens , and !
almost every boy and girl in the vicin
ity went to see and admire the little
balls of fur that so perfectly imitated
their mother. But one morning a
young visitor discovered one of the kit-
tens dead. The next day another died ,
and bythe end of the week the entire
family was gone. The cat was greatly
distressed at the loss and wandered
about the house crying loudly. Not
long afterwards , when one of her young
friends had called to console her , he
saw puss coming through the tall grass
with something in her mouth. She care-
fully jumped the fence , ran along to the
shed and in the corner of the wood
house leaped into the box that had been
the nest of the lost kittens. A moment
later she came out and disappeared.
Going to the box. the visitor found a
little fuzzy bunch of fur , with long ears
and soft chesnut brown eyes-a baby
wild rabbit. He could hardly believe
his eyes , but there it was , cuddled in
the hay uninjured. A short time after-
wards puss bounded in again with another -
other rabbit , and when she went out
the boy followed her and was led to
a cosy nest of a wild hare in the grass
of a neighboring field , in which were
several more young. These she took ,
one by one , and transferred them to
the new home. What the mother hare
did when she discovered her loss no
one , of course , knew , but it soon be-
came known that puss had adopted a
family of rabbits and she had more
visitors than ever.
No one believed that the new brood
would survive this remarkable change ,
but day by day the little creatures
grew and soon became active and
frisky. To the astonishment of the cat
these new kittens developed an enor-
mous growth of ears ; in point of fact ,
they soon became all ears , and as they
frisked about her they presented a re -
markable appearance. ' ' . . .
She now began to bring them rats
and mice and birds , but the long-eared
kittens paid not the slightest attention
to this food supply , and eagerly devoured -
voured the tender bits of cabbage and
clover brought them by the young
friends of puss. Finally they grew so
large that they were put in a room
with a window through which puss
might pass in and out.
The foster-mother continued to bring
them birds and game for a long time ,
until one day the family was taken '
out in the yard , and then , in obedience
to their wild instincts , they one and all
deserted the faithful mother and ran
out into the woods and fields and prob-
ably rejoined their own parents.
Various animals have "been known
adopt others , as the old dog at Central
Park that brought up a family of lions ,
but in all probability never before was
a cat known to adopt a family of rab-
bits.

- His Was Real Courtesy.
A young lady spending a rainy even-
ing at the house of an old gentleman : ,
wanted a cab to take her home. Her
host started off to fetch the cab.
"Do let the maid go , " said she.
"My dear , the maid is also a wom-
an , " was the grave reply.
The man was the late George Higin- '
botham. Chief Justice of Victoria. His
courtesy towards women was regardless
of rank or personal attractiveness. He
would take off his hat to his cook : , and
:
bow to her as graciously as though she ,
were a duchess.
A man was trying to lead a heavy
draught-horse along the street. The
animal refused to be led , and then the
man made several ineffectual attempts
to mount the refractory creature. At
that moment the Chief Justice came
along , and seeing the man's difficulty ,
extended his hand-as a mounting
block.
The man put his foot in the hand
and mounted upon the horse's back ,
and the Chief Justice passed on.
His courtesy made his manners
good but it did not soften his sense
of justice. A lawyer tells this anec-
dote :
"I had once to appear before hhii in
chambers on behalf of a charming client
who had some property , but would not
pay [ her debts. The case was heard in
his own room , and he was courtesy
itself. ) He stood when she entered. I
think she dropped her handkerchief ,
and he left his seat to pick it up.
Nothing could be gentler than his
manner , and I was congratulating my-
self on an easy victory ; but when the
facts were heard , the decision came
that my client must pay or spend six
months in prison.-Youth's Com-

Deer Far at Sea.
According to a Forest and Stream
correspondent Ben Lewis and Joe Side-
linker , codfishers of Tiverton , R. I. ,
found a large buck a mile and a half
form Sachuset Point , R. I. , bound for
Navesink Highlands , and going at least
five miles an hour. They stunned him
with a paddle after a hard chase , and
then took him to Providence , where
they sold him.
A number of like instances have been
reported in the last fifteen years - six
or eight , perhaps-where deer , like this
me , were voyaging apparently from
me pasturage to another.
Bears , also , have been found swim-
ming miles from land , in both fresh and
salt : water. It was the traveler's instinct -
stinct ; that was working in them.

"Old Hutch. " When he forced Sep-

as the giant speculator of the n , < sc ; but

It is aid that the wild horses and

have been taken to keep them down by

for a riiicman to hunt them , especially
the horses , for , if the wild stallion is
like other animals , he would put up alight
fight for life if slightly wounded which
would give a zest to the sport such as
is to be iiad. hunting the eieplant , the

One of the most curious uses to which
insects are put was related at a recent
j I meeting in the Linnaean Society of
f i London. It was stated that the Grqek
j barber-surgeons of the Levant employ-
I ed a large species of ant for the pur-
( pope of holding together the edges of
: an incised wound. The : ant held with
a pair of forceps opens its mandibles
wide , and is bronght near to the cut
being treated , so that it can since the
ed which held cthcl' for
two edges , are together
, the purpose. As soon as the unfortunate -
ate ant has obtained a firm grip of the
I cut , its head is severed from its body.
Mr. : Is-sigois ofmyrnao : ; who described
I the operation ! to the Linnaean Society : ,
said that he had seen natives with six
for I seven ants' heads hold together
I wounds in the course of healing. A
similar observation was made some
I years ago in Brazil , which fact is in
teresting from ! an ethnological point of
I view as showing the independent ex
1 istence of the same custom in coun-
I tries so far apart as Brazil and Asia

Nebraska inventors being one to every

ing one to every 1,917. !
: There are twenty-five American inventors -

Thomas A. Edison having issued to

ward Weston , an electrical engineer ,
received 274while Maxim , the gun ex-
pert , has been granted 131 : patents for

The Commissioner's report further
shows that there are pending at the
present time in the patent office 130 :
patent applications which have been
in the office more than ten years and
five applications which have been pend-
ing for fifteen years The new rules
adopted however , will compel all of
these patents to issue : within the com-

Amongst the most valuable patents
which were issued last week were two
granted to the famous Harvey of
Harveyized armor plate fame , the inventions -
ventions relating to improvements in
car wheels , the treads of the Harvey I [
wheel being glass hardened and so last
longer than the ordinary tempered car
wheels. Albert Bierstadd received
three patents for an improvement in
cars which outwardly appear like : an
ordinary freight car , but which when
unfolded form a car cottage ! having
three rooms below the full length of
the car together with an attic formed
by the slanting roof. These cars are
arranged so that two of them can be
used connected side by side and when
fully spread out and open form a good
sized hall the structure being especial
ly intended for the use of small travel
ing shows who can thus carry their
theater with them. A St. Louis inventor -
tor receives a patent for a soft tread
horse shoe which has a groove or chan- '
nel adapted to receive a packing or
elastic material which can be readily
removed and replaced. E. A. Trussell.
of Omaha. received a patent for a toy
match pistol , which is now being plac
