•Mi. CANADIAN CAT-FEAST. «i«eer AM*n& a Strange Peoale- An Kvrninu W»*h the IlalMIreed Trar* per. nnd C«Mdlan Vajager. if the I'pper lllneoarl. A San Franciaco Extminrr writer frizes a graphic aoconnt of a ^ne<+ New Year’s custom which prevails among the Canadian Frenchmen em ployed as hunters, guides and flat-boat- raen by tho American and Ilndfon’s Bay Fur companies. The custom in tjneation is known as a “ Cat-hiwt,” and the writer, at tho time he witnessed it, wax living in a cabin on tho banks of tho Rawlin’s river, Wyoming. Only four fat felines had been obtained for this groat feast, says the writer. Wnere they had romo from I never ascer tained. Whether they bad been bred, fed and fatted for this especial festive • •ecasion, or had been brongbt from seme far-off settlement in a sack or box, it matters little. But there they were, suspended in the bright morning sun— two black, one gray and one gray and white. The eat-killicg operation is per formed by tho Bioux squaws, and as the body of the animal must not be bruised, and all the blood must be ex tracted without injuring the skin, it re quires some skill to kill a cat under such circumstances. The squaw, armed with a short heavy club, seizes the ani mal by its caudal extremity, and before the brute has time to resent this insult ing attack it receives a stunning blow upon the back of the head, and then, as qniok as a flash, a knife is drawn across its throat, and it is hung to bleed. This cut-killing operation had been per formed before I arrived, and the dress ing was then in progress. Monsieur CLa.rIes Geroaux, a notable and wealthy Indian trader, was stand ing at tho end of a rough, long table critically supervising the very dedicate operation of preparing the felines for the lire. Two half-breed guides were perform ing this duty. The cats, nicely disem- bowled, were brought in by I ho att end unt fquaws and laid upon the table. One of the men then proaeeded to stuff tho cats with a mixture of soaked crackers, cornmeal, cove oysters, black and red popper, mace, cinnamon, dried herbr, onions and cognac brandy. In terspersed with this mixture were small thin strips of fat bacon and with parti cles of ham chopped tine. Having tilled the carcass with this stufling, the skins of the cats were drawn together and securely sowed up with sinews. A large tub of red clay was then brought in, and each of the animals received a thick coat cf this adhesive substance, the clay being rubbed thoroughly into the fur, so as to render this clayey coat per fectly adhesive. At least two inches of this clay was laid over each, and as they lay there upon the floor they resembled four large clay demijohns or jugs fresh from thy hands of the potter. A large nnmber of line, fat buffalo fish nnd suckers wore st rved in the samo way, and then came another equally interesting operation. At the end of the largest of the four rooms constituting tho ranch sn immense fire of dry cedar had been burning all the morning, filling the place with a rich aroma of cedar smoke. This Cro had now burned down to a pile of red, glowing coals. A long, deep trench was quickly made in this fiery bank, and in this the cats and fish in their iucasements ol clay were quickly laid, and covered with hot coals. While this culinary operation was being per formed inside “Le Commandante,” as Colonel Collins was designated by the voyagers, had arrived; but as he was accompanied by several members of his ntaff, he was not invited to enter the bouse. The fun of the day now com- TueDcetr lh* earnest. This consisted of horse-racing, foot-racing, wrestling be tween squaws, target-shooting and lasso throwing. Brandy and whisky flowed treely, but it was noticeable that no quarreling or fighting occurred among them. About 0 o’clock in the afternoon din ner was announced, and all who could get into tho main room where the cook ing had been done repaired thither to peo the meats taken from their fiery beds. On raking open the bank of red- hot cedar-word coals the clay coverings of the animals and tishes Wire found to be burned to a brick-red color, and re sembled large, shapeless lumps of brick. These wiro lifted upon shovels and laid upon a block especially prepared for the purpose. Here a sharp blow with a hatchet cracked the hot, brick- like coverings, and tho fragments foil away, taking with them the hide and skin of tho animals and the scales of the lish. Then there arose such a savory aroma from the steaming well- stuffed animals as would have tempted the appetite of the most fastidious dys peptic. Tho air-tight coverings had retained all the savory steam from the spicy dressing, and nothing had escaped during the slow roasting process be neath the cedar coals. In addition to the lish and the eats were savory stews or pot-pourri of rabbits and prairie dogs, rich soup of beaver tail, huge slices of bear nnat, juicy venison steaks broiled upon the coals, and largo rounds of buffalo haunch toiled almost to frag ments. No bread was used and vege tables were not thought of. The near est thing to broad was a stack of soda crackers in the center of tho table, and two or three pans of niee-looking dougLnuts, which belied their looks and almost spoiled my dinner when I discovered that tbey had been fried in tho lard or fat extracted from skunks, which formed a sta le article of food among frontiersmen. Notwithstanding the variety and abnudance at this great New Year’s feast, the guests eagerly sought their share of the feline ronHte. The white visitors partook but very sparirgly of this strange dish—a small taste to gratify cur host and our owu curiosity. In flavor the meat was net unlike that of a very fat rabbit. It was white as the breast of a chicken and very rich and tender. It is not to bo family diet, as it requires so much time a'waster, no harsh or unkind word was he«rd among these rough, wild moun taineers and plainsmen. Many New Years’ have passed awar since thdt bright, cold New Year’? n!gWt within the Bordeaux stockade, but the recollec tions of that great cat-feast with the hunters and trappers of the North western mountains remains ever fresh in my memory. Coral Reef*, Coral reefs) sf.id Professor Le Conte, of Galifotiiia, in a recent lecture, are peculiarly dangerous to navigation be cause of their rising abruptly, so that though the sounding lino may show 6,000 feet of water within half a mile, the reef may rear its perpendicular wall for the ship’s destruction. The most dangerous point for navigation upon the face of the earth is the reefs of Florida. There are more wrecks upon that coast than in any other por tion of the world. The largest town in Florida, Key West, is built upon a coral reef, on account of the frequency of wrecks upon the coast. If it was not for the wrecking business the town would net exist. With the exception of cocoamits there is absolutely raised upon the reef. The wreckers came first to prey upon the wrecks, then came merchants to prey upon the wreckers, next lawyers and doctors to prey npon both classes, and Unally the clergymen to pray for all. The Subject of corals was, also, the professor said, of scientific interest, be cause in these coral reefs we hold the proofs of the vast oscillations and vari- i ations in the earth’s ciust, on e. scale of which we have no other evidences at all. A very widespread misunderstanding existe as to the manner in which reefs are formed, one which has entered into the public mind, and of which it is al most impossible to dispossess the pub lic mind. The idea is that these ani mals are little insects ; that they build like ants and bees do, and when they are alarmed they disappear into their little burrows, and these reefs are ac cumulations of millions of these little insects in generation after generation. I shall show that there is not the sem blance of truth in this idea. The professor then explained that the coral animal is a polyp belonging to the group of radiata; that it consists of limestone deposits in the shape of a hollow cylinder with top and bottom disks, surmounted with tentacles, con taining a stomach and enveloped with gelatinous organic matter. Tho tent acles or arms aro provided each with a mouth for the absorption of food. The coral is cjraline limestone after the gelatinous organic envelope is decayed and removed. The animals which build reefs are not much larger than pinheads Tho development and growth of the coral tree and head coral was clearly ex plained, showing it to be analogous to the same process in vegetation. It was further explained that coral formed and threw off eggs, which floated to soma suitable place, and there began the pro cess of development independently, forming new colonies, which in time connect and form reefs, upon which are deposited accretions, in time building up keys and islands. Beef-building corals will not grow at a depth of over 100 to 120 feet. There have been reef-building corals found at a depth of 1,000 feet, but they were dead—drowned by being carried beyond their depth. This confines them to coast lines and submarine banks Corals will not grow where tho temper ature is lower than sixty-eight degrees at any time, that is tho ocean, not the air. Therefore they aro confined to the tropical regions. They will not grow except in clear salt water; hence there is always a break in reefs opposite tho mouth of a river Finally, they demand free exposure to the boating of tho waves. The moro violently the waves beat the more rapidly the corals grow, because tho agitation gives them ventilation. Corals will grow in the face of waves whose beatings would gradually wear away a wall of granite. The four kinds of coral reefs found in the Pacific ocean are fringe reefs, bar rier reefs, circular reefs, inclosing lagoons in the ocean, and small lagoon- ess coral islands. The explanation of the formation of the three last named will form tho subject of tho next lec ture. Popular Weather Prophets. Tho so-called “ Bauern-regeln,” as rules for farmers, which oocupy a prominent place in the indispensable ‘ Kslender” of every German and Swiss household, have not been abol ished by the process of meteorology and the publication of official weather- forecasts. Wo find them printed as usual in tho countless German alma nacs for 1882. Many of them are in rhyme, too pithy to lend themselves easily to translation, and are donbtlets of .considerable antiquity. They may be roughly divided into two classes— those which imply a sort of jurisdic tion over a particular season to a par ticular saint, doubtless a survival of paganism; and those which express the collective results of the actual observance of the weather by those Jwho were upon ds influences, whose experiences were handed generation to generation, snows small and fine’ says a peasant’s rule FOR THE EADIES a’a<l Notes tor \\ omen.

In fact, they avoided it with every maui- festttion of repugnance and disgust. After the feast, which was slowly en joyed by all present, tho evening’s amusement commenced. A largo tire was built in tho enrial or court-yard,- around which the trappers and guides gathered, while outside the Indians started up their war songs and medicine dances. There in the center of that corral these half-wild people sung and danced until the daylight dawned. Their songs were musical,and were sung in that unintorpretable patois pecnliar » that strange race of people who have floated upon the cuter edge of civiliza tion since the landing of their ances tors in Quebec and Montreal, two cen turies before. They used no English words and conversed as fluently in In dian as in their own coarse lingo, which is moro French than anything else, but which few Fienchmen could under stand. There, around their bonfire, they drank brandy and smoked; some played npon violins, others sang wild songs of frontier life. Heieandthere an old trapper or voyager related some won | summer. A snow year is a rich year," “ As much mist and fog in March, so much rain for a hundred days alter March,” and similar rules, printed year after year in almost every • Kalender, ’ are not tho product of guess or venture, such as a Zidkielmay compile, but the results of actual ob- H-'rratiou. The popular rule that “ Au tumn without mist (uebelfrei) brings winter without cold,” seemes to have been verifiel in the year 1881.—London Globe. riuck.

John Debois took a great deal of trouble to get a good pair of boots in St. Lonis for nothing, but he achieved success. He was a traveler staying at the Grand Central hotel. He went to a store and ordered the finest pair that could be made. He was exact in his stipulations as to the material and stylo, and wished them sent to his room at a certain time. Then he gave the same order in another store, except that the delivery was to bo made hall an hour later. The boy who brought the first pair was sent back to have the left boot stretched, ard the boy who carried tho second pair was sent back with the right one. Debois then put on the rem nants, for which he had not paid, and caught the next out bonnd tram. A Now York caterer has just failed for a large amount, and reckless ex travagance is charged.

A Nocturnal Ramble ami what Came ol It. Some genins—we suspect him to belong to the jovial order of humanity—has said: “ The d:!y to drone and dream, the night to learn and ramble.” We do not propose to dispute this worthy’s view of the matter, but present herewith the experience of a Phila delphia journalist, Mr. William II Cun- nington, 1712 North Twentieth street, one of whose nocturnal rambles he thus refers to, beginning his narntion rather peculiarly, however: “ I am nota rheumatic, and have been troubled very little with bodily pains. Last Tuesda y morning I experienced a very annoying stiffness of the neck, which grew worse as the day wore on. Toward evening it became very severe, and I could scarcely turn my head in any direction. Arriving home at tea time it was with difficulty that 1 could eat my meal. My wife wanted to I rub my n- ck with St. Jacobs Oil, but I rc- j fused, earing I thought the affliction would soon pass away. Tea over, against the remonstrances of my family, I left home to ramble toward the new Chestnut Street Opera House, about two and a half miles from my residence. I started in the midst of a heavy snow storm, and remained at the theater until tha close of the performance, although I could feel my neck getting worse and becoming very painful. Leaving the play the trouble came to reach home. The storm continued ; the car in which I was became blocked in nearly every square, a cold current of air swept through the car. and I did not reach my home until toward 2 A. m., by which time my neck had become absolutely rigid Then I consented to the use of St. Jacobs Oil, which my wife ap- plied two or three times before i arose. I continued its use that day and by evening I was free from pain, and the next morning I amused myseli by twisting my neck in any direction that suited me, and not a vestige of sliflness remained.”—Boston Herald.
