. ECentric Cats.
There Is now at the Battery in the
Devil's Point. England, a cat which is
an expert catcher of the finny tribe,
being in the constant habit of diving
in the sea and bringing up the fish
alive in her mouth, and depositing them
in the guard-room for use of the sallors.
This remarkable cat was indirectly
trained by her inspector to sport in
this manner, having long been avccus
tomed to dive into the sea after water
rats. Her love for the Wiater, says the
writer, was as great as that of any
Newfoundland dog. This anecdote
proves how the nature of the beast may
be changed by circumstances. No
doubt, had she had kittens, and fish
and water-rats been the only food they
could obtain, they might have followed
the mother's curious habit, and in
course of time tie instinct becoming
hereditary, there might have been a
race of sea-diving cats. Cats can rea
son-or put two and two together iII a
quiet way. Sam Slick tells a tale
touching this faculty which might not
be believed, were it not backed ip by
other irreproachable evidence. A ser
vant continually entering the master's
library upon the summons of the bell,
a'id Ps continually being told that it I: d
not been rung, persisted in saying that
he had heard it. The lomestles began to
suspect the house was haunted, and so
it turned out to be-not by a ghost,
however, but by a cat, who wishing
the company of her master, and not be
ing able to gain admission by reason
of the closed door, must have noticed
that when a certain bell within her
reach rung, it was opened by the ser
vant. Puss, noticing cause and effect,
used to ring the boll, and always ran
to the door and entered when lie did;
the fact of the simiultalncols entry
leading, of course, to the discovery of
her eunning trick. This. It will be
said, was but a Sam-Slickismyl; but here
is a still cleverer trick, which is re
lated of an Angora cat belonginkg to a
Carthusian monaster-y at Paris. Tils
cat having observed dhat the cook al
ways answered a certaink bell just be
fore the diltners portioted ont in plates
were served Out to tei monks, leaving
them ilk consitiece t1 i)Intpro ted, had
wit enough to Lake advaitige of this
fact, for she used to ring the bell out
side the kitchenk-door, watchi the cook
off guard, spriig through the window,
help herself to a portion, an1d then re
ta'rn before Ihe had time to come back.

CONTROLL1No A Coi/r.-Restlyoness
Is sometimes, but rarely, hereditary:
more often it arises from imperfect
breaking; very frequently from bemg
loft week after week, well feed in a
loose box without exercise. It 18 quite
impossbile to say what will cure rest
iveness; but the first remedy to try Is
work. If the animal 18 old and con
firmed in vice, it requires the assist
ance of a master of arts in matt rs
equestrian. But very oftem, if the
flust symptoms are checked, the cure
will neither be long nor difficult. A
gentleman who ha. been breeding and,
breaking horses for more than forty
years always lunges his colts carefully
not brutally, bofore lie puts them in
harness the first time. They are kept
standing, and are driven In harness
without veliicles atttched, for several
days before they are tackled to the
brake. So, also, if a horse after behing
idle shows any signs of having for
gotten his breaking lesson, lie is first
htinged backward until lie sweats,
then with a rider on him, and after
ward his day's work in the middle of
a cart team where he is not asked to
draw many pouids. Tnese seem trifles
but it miust be remeiered that the very
best horses the soonest become above
themselves. Many a Iirst-rate animal
that would be pronounced by a timid
driver or rider as danskerous when
first mounted or driven, after being at
Tattersall's from Friday to Monday.
would be foud a perfectjoy and delight
after two or thrue day's regular work.
Alagnificent animals are spoiled by
over feeding, want of exercise and bru
tal repression.

An improvi'd 1.iolsting pihat for-minei
ha" been contrived by a Oerian "inven,
lor, the arrangement being simply tIm
of replacing the two hoisting drim
and two separmte ropes by a singi
sheave with one wire. The circumfer
en09 of this sheave, which is ulel
cheaper than the ordinary drums, 1
provided with a wedge-shaped groovt
lined with wood or leather, and th(
weight of the two hoisting cages abovt
suillues to prevent slipplig. The ma.
chine may either be placed directl
above the shat' or it may bis be put, ul
beside it. By this arrangement, one
half of the length of the rope Is saved
and any over winding becomes inmpos
sible, because, when one cage is at th
pit's mouth, the other rests upon th<
botton ot' the shaft, and any furt.lim
wititing would tend to make the rope it
the shaft slack, which the counte:
weight of the cage rapidly puts an ent
to. If a rope is attached to tihe bottom
of the cages and run over a pulley a
the bottom of the shaft,, complete coun
ter balancing of the weight of the Iopi
is etl'ected.
