She followed him obediently, and nothing more was said on the subject. For three or four nights Frank came home pune tually; then his old habit mas tered him. Dolly had his supper all wait ing, 11d his Slippers-i and dressing gown before the fire, but lie did not come. She waited patiently 3 till 10 o'cock. Then she called the houscmaid and put on her wrap s. 'Sit by baby's crib, Nlary, ind Yi when Mr. Mayfair comes, tell him j I have gone to the Reindeer. Ask no questions, and take good care of baby, and you shall have a dollar extra this month.' t 'Very well, ma'am,' with won dering eyes. Twelve o'clock, one, and then the young husband let himself in with his latch-key, and came reel. ing into the sitting room. There sit the maid beside the sleeping 11 child. Frank looked about him a little anxiously. 'Ah, fast asleep, fine little fel low,' he said, bending over the n Drib. 'Mary, my girl, where's e your mistress ? Gone to bed?'

Presently a carriage camne down sa r~m the lighted tavern on the ill, and as it passed him a wo nan's voice rang out singing the borus, 'We won't go horne till I orning.' c It was his wife's voice.

FEEDING ON FELINES. usages in New York that are said to be ufade of Cat Meat. The New York Mcrcury asserts at some of the residents of that ty are accustomed to buying usages and other food partly ade up of the flesh of young ttens. The AMercury says men >about at night hunting cats, ich they put into bags as soon caught. Its article continues: When a sufficient number of tims has been obtained, the t-hunter takes his homeward ay and empties his bag of his rening's spoils. The largest and ttest having been selected, they1 e quickly killed, either being ocked in the head or having eir throats cut, while those too in are reserved to fatten for ture use. The slaughtered cat then skinned, the skin being of me value, especially the white d black ones, and the meat pre red for chopping. Mixed with little bull meat, or sometimes ne, it is then chopped and ade into the desired bolognas, d is ready for sale. Most of ese cat-hunters manufacture the usages and sell them themselves, us combining the occupations of snuacturer and tradesman on e smallest scale, while others 1 the meat to small butchers. se mannier in which this busi ss in cats was discovered and vestigated is of interest. Cer in officials, a few months ago, 1 a tour through the eastern 1 rt of the city in search of alleged uses, were surprised to find evi ne of this traffic in more ways an one. A reporter ofhe Mer- f ry discovered three or four men a ma a busines of etting, keeping,~ and breeding ca ts. T1 we~ of these men unifactured and Sold bologna sausages in quanti ti es. A woman told tht reporter. not 'knowing his errar;(.L that a short time ago she had p,rehased one of these sausages, iut its ap pearance and taste was so) peculiar Liat she was afr-aid Lo eat it, and threw it awav.- It is most difficult to obtain accurate information, as tiese men are most reticent re garding themselve. .Many of them do riot speak any English, and are evidently afraid their business will be discovered. The cats, when caught, are sorted out., and those reserved for fattening are kept either in large b,xes or in'small yards adjoining their captors' houses. The advantage of the boxes is, that they can be more easi ly concealed and kept in smaller compass, sometimes in a small cellar or room ; but they are riot preser ved in such good condition in this way as when allowed more freedon, so it is not resorted to except in cases of necessity. The boxes have tlats nailed in front of them, and the occupants are fed at stated intervals with some fattening compound. When a yard is used, the tops of the surround ing walls are smeared with a sub stance known to these cat-dealers which the animals detest pnd will not cross. A collection of cats thus imprisoned presented a most amusing spectacle when seen by the reporter. About % hundred cats of all sizes and ages, were sleeping, eating, quarreling and eaterwauling in various attitudes. All grades of cat society were rep resented, from the handsome Angora and Maltese, to the pro saic, homely backyard Tom, that makes night hideous with his yells, and murders sleep. Great care has to be used it is said to prevent the old Tom cats from eating their young. The "uncles, cousins, and aunts" could indeed be "reckoned up by dozen's," and seemed to constitute anything but a happy family. RAISING A KITE STRING. One day last week, a little boy, who had been standing for some time in front of a drug store, in Baltimore, enviously eyeing a large reel, well provided with "simnmy dimmy" twine, as the boys call, it, which was fastened to4 the top of the counter, summon od up courage enough to walk in4 and ask for a few yards with1 which -to fly his kite. The doctor . bears the reputation of being a 1 good natured man, full of humor, 1 and very fond of the little ones, :ut the younger approached biai I tt a time when he wvas out of his 1 sual mood, and he consequently< gave "No" for an answer. The i rchin had made up his mind to have some of "that cord" any how, and he got it. On Thursday .i norning the boy entered the < tore, accompanied by another i oy and a dog. Boy No. 2 having i laced a bottle upon the counter, t lemurely asked for five cents , ,orth of "sirup squill and polly ;ollic," and while the doctor was e illing the order, boy No. 1 was ~ying the end of the cord to the i log's tail. When the man of med- e .ine returned to the counter, the f -eel was flying like fury. The 1 loctor quietly reached for a pallet nife, and, having hung himself t >ver the counter, made a desperate jy chack at the cranium of the i. roungster, who, he supposed, was itting on the floor helping him elf. But lo! the boys and the log "Bouncer" were not there.a he doctor having tried in vain i o stof; his reel, was obliged to ive it up on account of the heat t communicated to the p)alm of is hand. When he reached the oor he beheld the boys upon the de walk about two blocks off, and It 'Bouncer in the middle of the 14 treet, going at the rate of forty d ~nots an hour, the string pointing s irectly to his tail.

The thread is riow ready tU be wouid upoit sp'ools, or.I- formned in to balls for the inarket. Th" Spooling Inaibiae is a most in- I gnio s I,ce of Im eChan. ism. It deals with a number of spouis at a time. These are placed empty upon Spindles, and the thread is wound upon them at a rapid rate and in the beautifully even layers with which everybody is failiiar. When the spools are full, the ma chine forms a notch in the wood into which it draws the thread. ents it off, and tosses the com ploted spool into a basket. In addition to the above achieve tnents, machines most recently in troduced supply themselves with fresh spools, attach the thread, and proceed with the filling with out any aid from the attendant. An eight-spool machine, superin tended by a girl, is capable of fill ing 3,600 pirus per day. The balling machine is an exceedingly simple contrivance, the thread being wound into the well-known form on a spindie which works at a continuously varying angle to the point from which the thread is delivered. An important de partment of - thread factory is that in which the spools are made. At the Anchor Works au enor mous quantity of wood is con sunied every year, and no feower than 400 varieties of spools are sent out. Many of them are made on the premises, but a considera ble quantity is imported from Germany, Sweden, and elsewhere. The wood having been sawn into convenient. sizes, is turned into cylinders of dimensions suitable for the kind of spool to be made. The cylinders are next bored in a very expeditious manner, and finally have their sides hollowed >ut and ends trimmed in a ma :hine which requires buta second to accomplish the work. The Pull spools are coniveyed to the .iepartment where- they are ha belled and packed into boxes of various kinds, according to the market they are designed for. A machine has been devised for at ~aching the labels to the spools. [t consists of a wheel having in ts rim a dozen or so of apertures, ~ach capable of.holding aspool. As ~he w heel mnove~s round, the spools Irop) from a hopper into the re oeptacles, and are carried forward irst under a wheel which pastes ver the exposed end, and then inder a tube containing the labels. is the spool passe8 beneath the ,abe, a label is pressed down upon ,he paste. When the pressure is -elaxed, the wheel moves round,< >rngs a fresh spool under the< ,be, and turns out the labelled< me into a basket.-Great Indus ries of Great Britain.

I bad retired, and was endeavor ing.r to tang1fle myself lip in sleep wihen a lui ileseribable bouquet r>f soul;ds st,'J into my room and CNIttw:ied :s-t about my ears. It was t he eirst strains of'a cat ight. I got out of bed and opened my molt Ib and dropped a "scat !" out of ihe w%indow. The yowling increased. I added a pair of $10 boots to the affair, a boot-jack followed the boots ; but the noise continuued with more zeal, if possi. ble than ever. Ily contributions was not the only one. From other windows a continuous fire was kept up; bottles, boots, shoes, slippers, and every available ar ticle that could be reached was shied into the darkness at the noise. Occasionally a more terrific yell would seem to indicate that the objective point had been reached, but the yelling continued with unabating ardor. At last I bethought me of a dark lantern I had, and, lighting it,lIturned it~ down into the bak yard in the direction of the noise. What I saw I can tell about, but how ? looked and felt would need a lar ger pen than mine to describe. To say my bair stood up, would be very tame.' It not only stood up, but it fa'iirly lifted me from the floor. I saw hanging from the: clothes line a c-ouple of Tom cats, tied together by the tails, and engaged with all their might in taking each other apart, while in. the yard was a inan with a bag, into which he was putting my boots, boot-jack and other con tributions, making for him a fair night's work, and after gathering up all the spoils, as he unslung the cats from the line and placed them in the bag and scaled the fence, it dawned upon me that I had been sold. I blew out my light and crept into bed wondering if my aged grand-father was not smiling f-om beyond the clouds at his grand child. 1 know sev 3ral more things about cats, but [ shall keep them to myself un less the courts oblige me to dis :lose. -- There is to day in America a young man who has not interest enough in a cat-fight to get up in be night and watch the conflict, r throw articles of value at the elines, and his name is There are a good maay pious people who are as careful of their eligion as of their best serv ice of :hina, only using it on holiday >ccasions, for fear it should get :hipped or flawed in working-day. year.
