; Mostly cats make their remarks in the
gether unnoticed I allowed. the slimp ob- ject to drop into the water. Ina mument I saw a big water snake make a dive for it. At the first plunge it caught the neck of the eel squarely between its teeth, and I could see it sink its ugly fangs into the eel’s flesh. I waited anxiously to see the developments. With its grim hgld still on the eel’s neck, the snake, quick as it takes to tell it, wrapped ite sinuous body around its antagonist’s neok in an effort to squeeze it to death. ‘Lhe body of the eel was too sleek, however, and the snakw’s coils, despite all it could do, would slip down into the water. Time and time again it tried to squeeze the life out of its antagonist, never for an instant re- leasing its hold on the eel’s neck, but the body of the latter was too slesk for it and every time it would slip down. Finally the hook broke and the eel made good its escape.’’—Indianapol's Sentinel.

hey killed the unhappy bull, and they claimed and received the Government z2- ward for each of the wolves.
Only, however, when they are in droves will wolves attack the larger animals. At first they try to stalk their intended vic- tim, and then, springing upon him with long bounds, they endeavor to pull it down ; failing in this they proceed to hunt it in the most methodical manner, two or three following the quarry closely, the others endeavoring to cut off its retreat by lying in wait and bouuding to its throat. In spring and summer wolves are rarely seen, as they keep for the most part to the solitude of the woodlands, but in severe cold and stormy weather they collect to- gether in packs and descend to the more open and inhabited tracks of the country.
While herding his reindeer during the long winter of the far North, the Lap- lander must be on his guard against the marauding wolves. Frequently for weeks together there is no sign of the common enemy ; then, without warning, the cry of the watcher rings out over the snow, “The wolves are afoot!" And, however blinding the snow, however dark the night, all the inhabitants of the little camprush forth to defend the animals which to them represent wealth, clothing, food, existence itself. In such a melee the small, wiry dogs, of which the Laps always keep a number, perform an im- portant part, barking and snapping at their opponents inthe most plucky way, and distracting their attention generally until the arrival of their owners upon the scene.—Pall Mall Gazette.
Leap Year.
Why is it called leap year? It is be- cause the Julian calendar, in which the custom of adding a day to February every fourth year was introduced, pro- vided that the additional day should be inserted not at the end of the month, but six days earlier, forming a second sixth day ; hence arose the word bis- sextile, which is still retained as the name of the year in which the addition- al day is inserted. though now it is added at the end of the month. The name leap year refers to the fact that fora year after insertion of the ad- ditional day each date comcs two days later in the week than it came the pre- vious vear, instead of on the following day of the week, as in ordinary years. The dates may be said to leap over a day, and hence the name. —Boston Her- ald.
Bobby’s Composition--The Cat. } The cat is a small animal with four legs and along tail. The cat is covered with eatfur. In the night cats roost on the back fence. They roost lengthways of it, instead of crossways, iike a bird or hen. When the cat wants to say anything it utters a yowl. No other animal yowls, except a baby, and its yowl is different.
It Wouldn’t Work in this Case.
The Washington correspondent of the Atlanta Journal tells a story of a well- known naval dignitary who has a beautiful daughter. A certain young ensign, with no resources but his slen- der salary, fell in love with her and asked the old gentleman for her hand. The father at once taxed him with the fact that he had only his salary—hardly enough to keep him in white glovesand
night. The baby is not different from the cat in this respect.
Cats have nine lives, but after she has lost one of them she isn’t good for much except acatskin. If I was a cat I would not be afraid of dogs.
Cats’ eyes shine in the dark. Once I was up in our garret, and saw a cat’s eyes
shining. Icame down and went to talk- to burnish his brass buttons. ‘ Wel. ing to ma about things. She said she fy, Admiral, what you say is true.
thought I went up into the garret tu stay awhile. I said ‘‘No, I stayed as long as I intended to.”
The cat has an Ann Tipathy for rats. Cats eats rats. Tastes differ. The Chin- ese make porcelain cats with yellow glass and puta candle inside. When the rats see it they go away on the dead run. Of course there isno danger. I forget what I went up into the garret for that time.
The middle of cats’ eyes gets big in the dark and small in the light. Girls like cats. A cat goes up a tree frontwards and comes down backwards. They go up be- cause they see a dog, and come down when the dog isn’t looking. The more dogsa eat sees the bigger her tail gets. The cats in the Isle of Man don’t have any tails, so they are not afraé@ of dogs.
Once we had a cat whose eyes got so big in the dark that you would have been afraid if you hadn’t known what it was. This was the same cat I saw in the garret. But, pshaw! I knew what it was right away, as soon as I got down !
That's all anybody knows about cats.
But when you married you were only a midshipman, with even a smaller sal- ary than mine. How did you get along?” asked the ensign, who believed he had made the most diplomatic of de- fences. But not so. The crafty old sea-dog thundered forth: “ I lived on my father-in-law for the first ten years, but I'll be hanged if you are going to do it :” Through a Brick.
“You wouldn’t have believed it pos- sible to blow out a candle flame through a brick-bat,” remarked a celebrated physician, whose penchant is to give scientific research a practical bearing. “It can be done, however, and it illus- trates the all-pervasive qualities of air.
‘*Most rooms are largely ventilated through the walls, and the brick and mortar are merely very rudimentary lungs, which take in and throw out the atmosphere with little hindrance.
‘You may try the experiment your- self.
**Piace a candle on the other side of your brick, and use two funnels. with the flaring ends on the opposide sides of the brick-bat,with the small end of one in line with your mouth and the small end of the other trained on the candle flame. The least breath will make the | light flicker, and a heavy expiration will extinguish it altogether.
“Try it and see.”—Toledo Globe.
Portable Electric Light Plant for Ship Use,
A very useful amd compact portable electric light plant has been designed for ship use. The engine and dynamo are mounted on separate frames provided with wheels, so that the plant can at any mo- ment be run into position on board, where it can be bolted to form a complete bed. In addition to the necessary terminals and connections for the cables to the projector and distribution boxes, which ean be placed upon flats alongside a steamer, the plant is equipped with cargo shades. These shades, each of which is titted with five sixteen candle power lamps, are used in the embarking and disembarking of cargo, which can be carried on uninter- ruptedly through the night. The projec- tor, which is used for navigating rivers, has a mirror 20 inches in diameter, and is provided with a hand lamp and dispersion lens to give a flat beam. Itcan be in- stantly run up to the bows of the ship when wanted. The plant, which is light as well as portable, is provided with a tarpaulin cover, so that in bad weather it can be covered up. It is designed to rug

THE FARMERS AND THE PRICES, The Maii and Empire is authority for the ¢tatement that the buying power of the farmers is greater to-day than it ever was. The proof of this is the fact, say< the Mail and Empire, that their collective snd per capita buying is greater than it ever was. More sugar, tea, dry goods, vardware, aud staple merchandise gener- ally 1s now distributed among the farmers tuan there ever was before. Leaving out of consideration the fall im prices, it is plan that the money value cf the tota! produce raised 0a Canadian farms has greatly inceased. ast year we exported farm produce to the value ef $54,648,897, and imported of such produce Jess than $2,000,000 worth, leaving cur net exports fifty-two and a haif millions in value. In 1878 the value of our farm produce ex- ported was $35,640,777, while the farm produce imported amounted to about six- teen million dollars, leaving the net exports less than twenty milion dollars. Thus even in the tace of falling prices our farmers have been able to raise a net surpius whose money value is nearly three times as great as that of the surplus exported in 1877. If the value of farm produce had not gone down in the mean- time, our agricultra] sexports in 1895 would probably have been worth four times as many dollars as those of 1877. The Canadian farmers now furnish the home market as well,and that calls for much more produce than when the Cuned States farmers helped so largely todo it, as they dui up to 1878. The money’s worth of the total produce raised by the average farmer is much mere than it was underfree trade. Much more therefore is the actual purchasing power of the average farmer greater than it was then. While from the manifold products the National Policy has encouraged him to raise he has materially increased his income in the face of declining prices for wheat, he has also been able to buy more of the comforts of life with a given income than ever befure. This is owing to the fact that the value of the staples he has to buy has fallen quite as much as or more than the value of wheet. The price cf wheat bas suffered more than that of any other agricultural staple, yet a bushel of wheat will buy as much as it ever would, In 1873 farmers were veiling wheat » Toronto at prices ranging from 75 to 90v. Now they can get as high as 844c. on the sitet. In 1875 grades of Japan teas that now sell at prices ranging from 15 to 30c. were sold at 30 to 50c.; grades of China teas that then sold at 65c. are
now 35:; granulated sugar then Ile. is now Sc; yellow sugar then 9je. is now 4c.; Valencia ra sips then

Drunkenness ip 1oronto.
The annual report of the Toronto Chief of Police shows that the number of arrests during the year of all kinds was less than usual. It shows, too, that more arrests came out of drinking and drunkenness than from any other causes combined. That is the old story, Such has been the case for years. and such will continue to be the case until the cause is removed. Arresting and punishing drunkards merely deals with results, and not with the cause. Dur- ing the year 7,658 persons were appre- hended or summoned. Of these 2,77: were for drunkenness alone, of whom were women. There were 210 cases for breach of liquor laws, and 434 assaults, many of which had their origin in drink. The report also states that ‘highway robbery was almost en- tirely practised on drunken people.” Of the sixteen suicides reported during the year, it is a well-known fact that several of them were committed by persons suffering from delirium tre- mens, or from the results of hard drink- ing. Of the burglaries, too, the chief reports that a third of them were by persons in search of food. Hunger im- pelled them, and in too many cases drink increased their poverty.

The Causes of Strikes.
The fact that disputes as to wages are involved in the majority of strikes forces into recognition the fundamental aspects of the problem. Production is the result of the combined resources of capital and labor. Two distinct classes, whose interests would seem to be in the main identical, are engaged jointly as employer and employed. The one owns the instruments of production, the tools and machinery, the other per- forms the work. Thus the machinery of capital augmented by the labor of the workingman renders a given prod- uct. Directly the question obtains as to the relative share of each factor in that product. Before the era of strikes this question was not a pertinent one. Then industrial forces were not to be set off in two divisions, for the man who owned the tools performed the work. There were no wage disputes, for the employer was ®imself the em- ployed.
To-day two separate classes con- tribute to the product of industry, and the equable division of that product is a matter of vital concern. Obviously

SKINS OF FOXES AND C7TERS. _
Most Valuable of the Furs Foumf in the Pacific Coast Regions.
The most precious of all Pacific coast furs is the sea otter. There was a time when this animal was very plentiful off the California coast. The Russians are largely responsible for their de- struction at the time they founded a settlement at Fort Ross, at the mouth of Russian river, in Sonoma county. Some sea otters are still captured off the California coast, and there are a few smal! vessels specially engaged off the California coast sea otter hunting; but Alaskan waters are the chief source of supply of this class of fur-bearing animals, Sea otters are always found afloat, and the hunter can capture them in no other way than by shooting. The deeper and colder the water they are found in the better the fur and the higher the price the hunter secures for the pelt.
A first-class sea otter skin in the raw is worth $500 to the hunter, The best sea otter pelt taken off the California coast will yield $250 each to the hunter. There may be elements, however, in the pelt which may reduce the value of the Alaskan pelt to $20 and that of the California coast to $5. The coast of Japan has been a good hunting ground for sea otter, and during the past twenty-five years several small crafts have sailed from San Francisee and San Diego to Japan, outfitted for otter hunting. Almost all sea otter skins are marketed in Russia, where the fur is in demand,
Next in value te the sea otter is the fox among the fur bearing animals of the Pacific coast. Six kinds are hunted for their pelts, which range from 20 cents to $90 each in the raw.
These are the silver, cross, red, blue, gray and white. Something very rare among foxes is a black coated animal, and the fur of sucha fox commands a fancy price, often running as high as $150. To supply the demand for black fox furs, furriers prepare an imitation by dyeing the fur of the red fox, which is the cheapest pelt of the fox family, the best ‘‘red” not being worth to the trapper more than $2.25 per skin. If we except the natural black fox, the highest priced fox pelts are the “silver” and the “blue.” A trapper gets for a perfect silver fox pelt as he strips it from the carcass about $90, and for the best blue fox pelt about 22.
An effort is being made on the Aleu- tian islands to farm the biue fox. Some of the small islands in the group suit- able for tye purposes of farming have been leased by some of the old tranpers of the Hudson Bay and Alaska Com- mercial companies for a nominal rent, and these have been stocked with foxes. The animals are stockaded and regu- larly fed by the farmer, who is usually a “squaw” man, that is, one’ living with a native woman, who is settled with his family on the island. In time the animals become domesticated and are then easily managed. Furriereare watching the experiment with consider- able interest.—San Francisco Chron- icle.
Care of Books. Even to those who are most careful and particular with their loved and treasured libraries accidents will hap- pen, and the human bookworm is at his or her wits’ end to remove the diffi- culty, which threatens perhaps to ruin forever ons or more of the choicest yvol- umes. An English magazine lately pub- lished the following items, which will probably be found useful by any li- brarian : To remove ink stains from books—A small quantity of oxalic acid, diluted with water, applied with a camel’s hair pencil and blotted with blotting paper, will, with two applications, remove all traces of the ink. To remove grease spots—Lay pow- dered pipeclay each side of the spot and press with an iron as hot as the paper will bear without scorching. To remove iron mould—Apply first a solution of sulphuret of potash and af-
terward one of oxalic acid. The sul- phuret acts on the iron. To kill and prevent bookworms—
Take one-half ounce of camphor pow- dered like salt, one half-ounce bitter apple, mix weli, and spread on the book shelves. Renew every six months. To polish old bindings—Thoroughly clean the leather by rubbing with a piece of flannel; if the leather is broken, fillup the holes with a little paste; beat up the yolk of anegg and rub it well over the covers with a piece of sponge ; polish it by passing a hot iron over.

Thus if the farmer rai ed to-day only | such produce ashe ra sed in 187% his buying power would ie more thaa
eugai tv whet it was then, as the fall in the pr ce of his products ras been imore than balenced by the fall isc the price ef the articies he has to buy; Bui, under the National Policy, he has added greatiy to the produce he raises, : od his Jarge re
venues from cheese, butte.c, pork, etc., en- ables him to buy a large number of ar
ticles that go to make u). a farming outtit, articles unknown to him or not in exist- euce before 1878. Miilicns of dollars are spent in harvesters, mowing machines, binder twine, fence wire, etc. In addi- tion to their capacity to take a greater volume of merchandise, the farmers are able to afford the modern means of in- creasing the procuctiven ess of their labor The prices of store goods are now so low that we hear nothing of the grangers aay more.

The Word ‘*‘Lady.”
There’s a great deal of jabber in praise of “that good old Saxon word ‘woman’” and in disparagement of the word “lady.” But “lady” is slso @ } good old Saxon word, dign fied in its | origin and in all the meanings which attach to it legitimately. It is de- scended from the Anglé-Saxon “hlae’- die.” ‘Hiaf” meant loaf. Itissimilar in sound to the old English word of Scandinavian origin, ‘‘daie,” meaning a maid, from which we got our modern English word “dairy.” The first in the list of meanings attached to the | word “lady” in Webster’s Dictionary is: ‘‘A woman who looks after the domestic affairs of a family; a mistress; the female head of the household.” The fifthis: “A woman of refined or gentle manners; a well-bred woman— the feminine correlative of ‘gentle- man.’” Surely there is nothing in this
' word to warrant sneers and fleers and
jeers. The pre udice against ‘‘lady” has arisen from its unauthor: el] mis- use.— Milwaukee Wisconsin.
