Tho President of Brown University advocates taking children at 2l yeara old and educating them in public kin? dergartene. From ono of the most important shipping and receiving centres for live stock in the United Stats?, the Pitts burg (Penn.) Central yards are now ranked as hardly second-class.

If the gold resources of this country should be capitalized on the Kaffir basis, millionaires would be reckoned small men and give place to the hiUionaire, exclaims the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Tho Los Angeles (Cal.) Times says: When a good maro? at a hors* sale in San Bernardino last week, was sold for ?2, lt was thought the bottom price for horseflesh had been reached. A new record was established in Ventura County, however, a few days ago, at an administrator's sale, when a horse was knocked down to a Mexi can boy for fifty cents.

The news paper?, in telling about the exciting occurrence, speak of the costume as the * 'long - heard - of-and-never-seen bloomers." The New York Sun thinks the incident is especially worth not ing, as evidence of the ironclad con servatism of Macon, that the bloomers were worn by a visitor and not by a resident. She was a membei of a theatrical company. Wide tires must replace the narrow tires now in use on most vehicles be fore good roads can be kept in good condition at reasonable expense, de clares the American Agriculturist. In Pennsylvania, those whose tires are not less than four inches wide for loads of a ton or more are rebated one fourth of their assessed highway tax. In Massachusetts the State law em powers townships or cities to regulate the width of tires used within their limits, and a few towns have already fixed a date two years hence when Says New Fork Truth: For a num ber of years the word ?'fireproof," as applied to tip monuments of iron and mortar that decorate all the prinoipal thoroughfares, has conveyed such an idea of security as has insured for their owners steady tenants at fancy ientals. But a severe blo?v has re cently been dealt to the power of this popular catch-word, and the ensuing revulsion of feeling seriously threat ens to handicap the profits of such structures. The owner of each asserts as positively as ever that his building is absolutely fireproof, but the faith of his tenants has flown and, until he can succeed in coining some new phrase to win back their wavering con fidence, he will find it difficult to combat the growing distrust. Of. course no one doubts the sincerity of the owner's protestations, nor his firm belief in the incombustibility of his aky-sor?ping structure, and this being so solidly planted on the shining pedes tal of his personal trust, it only needs a little invention on his part to effect the much desired return of pub- j lie confidence. Let tho owners join ia forming a mutual guarantee asso ciation that will not only insure the tenant's personal effects, but will pro vide each tenant with an accident pol icy covering all casualties transpiring on the premises. As the buildings are so absolutely freo from danger the risk thus assumed by the association will, of course, be merely a bagatelle. But it would be necessary to advertise that the policies would bo inscribo in aluminum ink on asbestos paper, and that each document would be pro vided with a mica lined vault sus pended from a platinum parachute to insure its preservation, before the public would take kindly to the scheme. As a matter of fact the only really fireproof dwellings yet devised were those occupied by tho troglo? dytes of long ago. The EtTccls ol Rifle Balls. The results, as tried on Swatis and Chitralis, seem to show the extremely small stopping power of the bullet, unless it happens to hit a bone or a vital part. The net result seems to be that at a very short range of two or 'three hundred yards the Lee-Metford bullet has a sort of explosive. action, and pulverizes the bone it strikes ; at a medium range it makes a small, clean wound; at a long range it makes a bad wound, larger at the exit of the. bnliet than at tho point where it en tered.-Saturday Review.

A REMARKABLE RESCUE FROM DEATH BY PNEUMONIA. lieu nc lien, i-i kl>v (kath was a mutter of only a few nuu.o, lie timidly suggested a remedy tbat he had beard of years bet?re, and one that he. had always regarded merely a* an old woman's superstition. Thin was that, if thc skin of a eat bc placed while warm ; on the breast of a person ill "with pneu m< lia, tho inflammation will beltnrw" ' out immediately. When Hell suggested the remedy to Dr. Beeves, who hart charge of the cuse, the only reply he re ceived was, "well, it can certainly do no barm." Emboldened by this tacit approval, Bell went out and hustled for a cat. There was, strange to say, no cat in the Bonnallie household, so a kindly dis posed neighbor furnished a pet tabby for iii:' experiment, bell kille;! the cat, toqk off the skin and "applied it wann and Woo ly to thc sick joan's chest. Though lbs man was to all appc trances dead lie ?iud been unconscious for hours-th? result came quickly. "Thirty seconds after the application of thc wann cat's skin." says the Cleveland Plain Dealer, "liic patient's facial expression changed; from a drawn, suffering appearance it re laxed until a peaceful smile played around the lips. .* "What in thc dickens have they done that makes me feel so good:' he exclaimed. The patient's tominion became much easier as the minutes passed. In the natural course of events the heat passed from the cat's skin and the ?wi.ching of the patient's lace gave evidence of re turning paiu." By that time another cat had been ob tained and its skin took the place of the ?ir ? one. The warmth remained in the skins for about au hour and the cathkin ap; li' utious were kept up until thirty-two cats h id been sacrificed. The patient was then declared out of danger, and since then he has improved steadily und rapidly until now he is comales: tnt. The skins were a; plie 1 with the raw hide to the body, it wis noticed that the best results came from those skins that were removed from the cats' bodies before life was extinct. An interesting feature of this cat killing is that nearly thirty t foreland homes were desolated of their pets, for the city is liol ?ike New York and l^o'vlyn, over rim with homcle?s creatures that cry out for extinction. When t ie search for a cat was begun api>eul wa- mule to several of tho neighbors, l>:ir hi nearly every case the ea was ;i family pet and the solicitors met with no encouragement during a hunt that lasted more than an hour. It was late al night and a request of that kind at that nour was received in various ways, gome thought it a huge joke, others an excuse by burglars to secure an entrance lo thu bouse. Some of the pcr-ons thought Hie request to be an insane freak and turned lue visitor away from tho door with scant ceremony. Where there was a child in thc family was heard a childi-ll scream of horror, says the Plain I lealer, a- the youngster gathers I her pet kitty in her arms ami nm away and hid with ?he precious creature. Finally at the home of David Hoe on Eaton street was found an auimal for the sacrifice. The Hoes hale I lo give pp their house cat, a beautiful maltese, bat to save a human life they confuted to give it.
