"You cannot say 'boo I' to a goose." s
When 13en Jonson, the dramatist, was se
introduced to a nobleman, tho peer wits
so struck with his homely appearance ar
that he exclaimed, " What I you are Ben
Jonson ? Why you look as if you could
not say ' boo !' to a goose." " Boo I' ox

" Ho's a peg too low," " Taking a man

ging, or marking the drinking cup, c
which was introduced by St. Dunstan to A
check the intomperato habits of the
times, by preventing one man from tak- os
mng a larger draught than his comipan- th
ions. But the devico proved the means In
of increasing the evil it was intended to
remedy ; for the must abstemious were in
reluired to drink precisely to a pog or
pin, whether they could soberly take
such a quantity or not.
" Bie Hen" is the nickname given to
the State of )elaware. The origin of c
the term is this : Capt. Caldwell, tin
officer of the First Delaware regiment in f
the Revolution, was very fond of ganie c
cooks, but naintainel that no cock was c
truly game unless iL; mother was a
"1110 lion." As lie was an exceedingly j
popular man, his regimont was called th

terward transferred to the State and its )
inhabitants, PC

The rodiWed Instincts of a Blind Cat.
The family favorite whose misfortunes
have affored an opportunity to observe
the workings of Instnct under dilll
culties is a noble specimen of the genus
Feis. "Dido" is his name-given for
simple ouphony, without regard to gen.
der. During the four years of his life
he has never been known to-do anything
wrong, unless it' be to fight most des
perately against all feline intruders. In
some one of his many encounters, Dido
met with an injnry in one of his feet
that made a surgical operation neces
sary, from which he recovered, but
shortly afterward went totally blind.
A cataract was formed over each eye,
by which, as repeated experiments
proved, vision was thoroughly obscured.
This calamity caie on suddenly, and
pjaced the cat in circumstances not
provided for by the ordinary gifts of in
stinct. What to do with himself was
plainly a roblem hard to be solved.
Ie would sit and mew most piteously,
as if bemoaning his condition; and
when he attempted to move about, he
met with all the mishaps that the reader
will be likely to imagine. Ilo ran
against walls, fell down stairs, stumbled
over sticks, and when once on the top
rail of the fence he would traverse its
entire length seeking in vain for a safe
junping-off place. On being called, lie
would run about bewildered, as if not
knowing whence the voice came nor
whither he should go to find the one
calling. In short, )ido's life seemed
hardly worth living, and we were seri
ously plotting his death, when the cat
himself clearly concluded that he must
make his other senses atone for the loss
of sight.
It was very curious to watch his ex
periments. One of the first of these
was concernilo the art of going down
stairs. Insteaa of pawing the air, as he
had been doing on reaching the top
stop, he went to one side till he felt the
banisters touch his whiskers, and then,
guided thus, he would ~ descend safely
and at full speed, turning into the hall
on gaining the last step. One by one
he made each familiar path a study, do
termined the exact location of each
door, explored anow all his own haunts,
and seemed bravely resolved to begin
life over again. Tie result was so un
expectedly successful that we were de
ceived into the notion that sight had
been restored. But by placing any ob
stacle in the path, and then calling him
eagerly to his customary feeding place,
it was evident that he was entirely
blind, for he would run with full iorco
against the box or other obstruction,
and then, for time afterward, he would
proceed with renewed caution.
1)tdo's "voice is still for war," and
his blindness does not make him any
less successful in his duels with in
truders. lie even goes abroad in quest
of adventures, and comes safely home
again.
Ilis value as a mouser does not seem
to be in the least diminished. Ono of
my experiments as to his capacity in
this direction canme ppo!r costing me
dear. I had heard the gnawing of a rat
in an old closet whero there lay a quan
tity of newspipers. IIere it was decided
to leave 1)ido over eight, and while ar
ranging the paper."s for the purpose, my
hand was suddenly caught by the claws
and teeth of what at the moment .eeied
'like a small tiger. Poor )ido! He
really looked ashamed of his blunder in
mistaking my hand for his anticipated
victim. Fortunately the papers servet
as a shield, or the injury inflicted might
have been more serious. I may add t hat.,
on opening the closet the next orniing,
there wias l)ido mouinting guiardl over a
slain rat as big as ever spoiled good
provisionis or tried a housekeeper's
temper.
It is well k nown that the house-cat
will find its way back from distant places
to which it has~been caried4 blindfoled
andl how it performs such feats natural
ists have never satisfactorily explained.
-The theory accepted by sonic of t hem is
tnat the aniimal takes note of thle suc
cessive odlors eneounteredl on the way,
that these leave as distinct a series of
imuages as thlose we should receivo b
the acuise of sight, and thait, by taking
them in thei inmverse order from that in
which they were reccivecd, lie traces his
homeward route.
But, in the eat nowv de<erihied, thle
sense of smell is by3 no means acute, as
has bieen provedl by a vaiety of methi
ods ; and, umorcover, although, as one
might say, perpetually blindfolded, hoie
quite uniformly chooses the short e< 4
road ho me, without reference to thle]
path lie miay have taken on leaving iho

homing instinct would ex tend, I took
advanitage of a fall of snow t hat wran
pedl under its mantle every familiar oh
feet, conealed all the paths, and deadl
aned every odor and sound. TIaking
D)ido to a considerable distance from the
iousc, and making a number of turns to
bewilder him, I tossed him upon a driift
ind <luiet.ly awaited result.s. Th'Ie poor
rcature turned hiis sightless orbs this
way andt thmat~, and mewed piteously for
hel p. Finding, at lengthi, that lie was
thirown entirely on his own resources,
he stood motioinless for abonut one min
