the Smithsonian institution at Washington is a case containing a stuffed cat A curd attached to the case setting forth the reasons why this particular feline Is known to fame gives official sanction to a tale thnt Is In every respect as remarkable as any emanating from the nature fakirs The story of the cat Is as follows Many years ago while the Washing ton monument was still In an unfin ished condition nn adventurous and patriotic cat ascended the interior of the shaft by means of the ropes and scaffolding When the workmen ar rived at the upper landing the next morning and began to prepare for the days work the cat took fright and springing to the outer edge took the leap of over COO feet to the hard earth below In the descent which was watched closely by the -workmen the cat spread herself out like a flying squirrel fell slowly and alighted as cats always do on all fours After turning over on the soil a few times as if dazed she pre pared to leave the grounds She had proceeded almost beyond the shadow of the monument when a stray terriir pounced upon and killed her One of the workmen rescued the re mains of the cat and turned them over to the Smithsonian Institution v hich caused the skin to be uiouniM and placed under the glass cast i oaths Companion SOUND WAVES The Way They Are Deflected by At mospheric Causes One of Uncle Sams scientists at Washington gives an interesting ex planation of the action of the wind In preventing the spread of sound toward the direction from which the wind comes It is he claims not the wind as such that prevents sound from trav eling against It but differences in the strength of the wind If for instance the wind is stronger above than be low or stronger at one side its effect wTill be to tilt the sound waves in one direction or another Differences of temperature in the air also cause deflection of the waves of sound Other atmospheric causes ex ist which deflect sound from a straight course and prevent it from going as far in certain directions as it may have been expected to go Some of the sirens in this country says the scientist produce sounds which ought theoretically to be audible at a distance or l5UU miles but in fact the authorities are satisfied if they are heard only two miles away The reason for the discrepancy be tween calculation and experiment was probably atmospheric deflection of the sound Minneapolis Journal Coughs Every person who coughs should net alarm himself with the idea that lie is in a bad way Experience has con vinced us of a fact that there are two distinct kinds of coughs one proceed ing from an affection of the lungs and air tubes as in a cold the other pro ceeding from effervescence in the stomach The lungs cough is a symp tom which all know to require atten tion lest serious consequences ensue The stomach cough is a much more simple matter and may easily be got quit of It is caused by the food and drink which are put into the stomach effervescing and producing an irrita tion A knowledge of this fact ought to lead persons so affected to ponder a little on the nature of their ailment and the tone of their digestive powers The Underdog TJnderdoggism does not arise wholly from condition you find underdogs in the very seats of the mighty but from a winsome quality of mind which is in herent You may know the underdog by a certain negative attitude an ab sence of assertion a denial of superior ity a smiling air of seeing the humor of the situation a droll hint of a wink at his own discomfiture Some of them it is true do make the mistake of trying to be something else They put on an imposing front and In a momentary flood of favor and fortune pose as dogs rampant Yet even in that lofty attitude the tail may be observed between the legs Atlantic Expert Tattooers The inhabitants of the Marquesas Is lands are among the most expert tat tooers on earth and not even the crown of the head the fingers and the toes are exempt from the needle The hands are ornamented with utmost care all the fingers having their own pattern so the hand would look as though incased in a tight fitting glove were it not for the finger nails of enor mous length which complete the hand adornment of the wealthier natives Couldnt Hear It A man who was charged at the Wil lesden police court with intoxication and using bad language pleaded guilty to the first

Uppin cotts AftsRSS MAKE BELfEVE GIFTS A Curious Custom at the Courts of East Indian Princes There Is a curious custom at the courts of the Indian princes When a British officer or a physician calls upon a rajah he Is shown Into the re ception or throne room where sits the rajah surrounded by the great siate officers After the exchange of the usual salutations one of the officers brings in a tray on which are display ed jewels and golden ornaments stud ded with valuable stones perhaps worth 50000 or more The trayful of valuables is supposed to be a present from the rajah to his visitor and it offered first to the gentleman who in clining his head touches the edge of the tray with the tips of his fingers and it is then passed over to the lady who invariably accompanies the Brit ish officer if he is married on such oc casions She follows the example of her husband and tho tray and its con tents are then returned to the jewel room In lieu of the unaccepted jewels a long necklace of tinsel of little value is placed around the neck of each where it remains during their stay within the palace There is a very strict law against any British officer accepting a gift from a native prince Even when a doctor may have per formed some serious operation upon a rajah who being grateful wishes to give exclusive of a money fee vary ing from 200 to 1000 according to the operation performed a present of a shawl golden cup or some similar valuable the doctor must obtain spe cial permission from the viceroy before he dare accept the present If any officer accepts a gift of any value with out such permission he may have to resign This rule was made because In the old days when the East India com pany governed India an officers pick ings and the presents often extorted from the rajahs were worth much more to him than his salary London Tit-Bits- THE LAST MAN SHAVED An Explanation by the Barber That Did Not Quiet His Nerves There were five of us hunting and fishing iu the Queensland bush when oue rainy day a stranger appeared He said he was a tramp barber and as none of us had been shaved for a fort night we gave him half a days work About four hours after he had left us a band of fix men rode up and the leader inquired if we had seen a tall roughly dressed man pass that way We told him of the barber and lie looked from man to man and ex claimed Good gracious but you are all fresh ly shaved Yes we gave the barber a job And lie shaved each one of you He did and did it well Boys do you hear that shouted the man as he turned to his compan ions What of it asked one of our party Why he went insane yesterday and cut a mans throat in his barbers chair over at Dnadilla and were after him to put him in an asylum They rode away at a gallop and next morning returned to our camp with the man who had been captured after a hard fight and was tied on his horse lie seemed to remember us when he was given a drink of water and as he handed the cup back he quietly ob served I say gentlemen please excuse me I meant to finish off the last man who got shaved but I got to thinking of something else and it slipped my mind Cape Times Beacon Fires In China In China such beacon fires as spread the alarm of the Spanisli armada through England used to be the call to war Many years ago the story goes the emperor sat with a beautiful woman looking toward the beacon hills She would like to see those wait ing piles lighted a nd upon her insist ence the thing was done The greatest excitement prevailed throughout the provinces and troops came hurrying in from all sides When the leaders learned that no danger menaced that the fires were lighted to satisfy the whim of n woman their wrath fed on their lost confidence and with the ac tual call to arms the response was slow and unenthusiastic It was a repetition of the old story in Websters spelling book Wolf had been cried too often Antiquity of the Mortgage The legal document known as a mort gage can he traced as far back as the dawn of authentic history The mort gage comes directly down to us from the Romans but its antiquity is much more remote than the Roman nation The Greeks Carthaginians Persians Egyptians Babylonians all knew of the mortgage and daily used it in their business transactions It is safe to say that the custom of giving mort gages Is practically as old as settled human society New York
