The old man sighed as lie took the golden haired, laughing little boy on bis knee, and stroking bis shining tresses, said: "Ah, bow much I should like to feel like a. child again." Little .lolutny ceased bis laughter, and looking up in his grandfather's J face, remarked: "Then why don't you get mamtua to spank youV" A Cat with no Odil Appetite. An ordinary cat's hill of faro is quite I complete when it contains iu the lirst course a saucer of milk, in the second a. nice, tender mouse, and in the third a piece of custard pie. Hut Frances Jloldcii, of Omaha, had a ldgh-toncd cat that bore the odd name of (ikoho.ti. which insisted on iia\!ug an extra course of crab salad. Last summer, when site and her brothers and sisters were ont camping, they gathered a has ket of lively little erabs and poured t hem out oil the tent Hoof. Oknhoji, being near at hand, came spilling n;>. like the dainty cat she was. and all the hoys and girls were surprised to sec her walk right into the midst of the wriggling mass. Some of the crabs caught hold of her tail, of her wliis1 kers and of her fur, until she was fairly f alive with them. Okolxiji seemed to enjoy it lirst rate, and played with them lis If they were mice. Presently, when she was tired of the fun, she sat down and calmly ate all the crabs tip, one after another. Whoever heard ot' a cat with such an odd appetite'; A Snowball. Teddy never meant to do It. Hut when Tom throw a snowball, what ..,,1,1.1 I... .1.. ? < u.iiu >it- mi niti hi| up :i Mill Mi'l' and (ops it back? And how could lie know thnt naughty hull would hop right over Tom's head and go smash! right through the window of Miss Triscilla Trim's millinery shop! Hut there was the broken pane, and the glass scattered all over the ladies' lionnets. Tom dodged around one corner, and Teddy around the other. When Miss Trisclllu looked out, the street was as empty and still as if there was not one little hoy in town. "I got off pretty well," thought Teddy. "If she caught me, she'd make me pay the whole eighty-seven cents." Nobody but Teddy knew how ttinnv ^ errands he had run and how many paths lio had swept and how much candy and popcorn and butterscotch he had not eaten to get together those eighty-seven cents. As soon as he could earn just thirteen cents more they were all to go for the little steam-engine in the toy-shop window. .1 tist live minutes later Teddy stepped into Miss Prlsoilla's shop with his little red savings-bank in his hand. lie emptied It on the counter, and out came rolling such a swarm of dimes and nickels ami pontiles! Miss ITIscllia was so surprised that her eyebrows went right up to her little gray curls. "Say. I tired that snowball," said Teddy, bravely. "So I ought to pay for It, 'course, you know." "Well, you are an honest boy!" said Miss Prlsellla. "But you are dreadful careless." Teddy went past the toy-shop window on his way home, and lie could not help Just looking nt the little engine. But lie was not sorry for being honest, not a bit.?Youth's Companion. / If All tlie Clocks Should Stop. Supposing all the clocks and watches in the world should suddenly run down with a click and a burr and a clatter to-uight at 1 o'clock. How many boys and girls are there who would lie able I > to tell the right time to go to school tomorrow morning? It wouldu't he uu easy matter, would it, even if the sun was shining out warm and bright? Hut that's all because there are so many timepieces everywhere that we get to depeuding on them. Over In China, where the people are very poor and can't afford to own watches, how do you suppose any one knows wlieu to go to dinner, especially if It's a cloudy day? Why, by looking at the cat. For in Chlnu a cat is not only a tuouser and a pet, but a clock. When a Chinaman wants to know the time ho runs to the household tabby, opens her eyes aiul at once tells what time it is. This lie does by looking at the pupils of the eye, which he has discovered to be of varying sizes at different hours of the day, being affected by the position of tlie sun, even when the day is cloudy. Another curious clock, which any of our boys and girls could easily make, is used l).v the natives of tlit* I'aeilie islands. It is made of tlm half of a eoeoannt shell, ent smooth at the edges, nnd having a very small hole bored in the bottom of it. This shell Is placed in | a pall of water and n small stream spurts tip through the hole In a tiny fountain. In just one hour?so carefully has the hole been bored to the proper size?the shell sinks with a gurgling sound that serves the same purpose as the striking of a eloek. The native promptly lifts it out and sets it afloat again to measure the next hour. No doubt the native mother may he heard railing to her little son Joey Couch-Shell, who likes to He tilted In the morning: "Joey, Joey, jump up; it's 11 whole shells after sunrise, and time that you went out and saddled the giraffe for Sister Sue to take a ride." SIXTY MILES AN HOUR. Wonderful Mechanical KflTccta of n Loco mot i ve K o 11 ii i < a a ,M ilo a TV] inute. At sixty miles ail hour the resists:nee of a train is four times as great as it is at thirty miles that is. the fuel must he four times as great in the one ease as in the other. Rut at sixty miles an hour this fuel must he exerted for a given distance in hall' the time that it is at thirty miles, so that the amount of power exerted and steam generated in a given period of time must lie eight times as great at the faster speed. This means that the capacity of the boiler, cylinders and the other parts must lie greater with a corresponding addition to the weight of the machine, obviously. therefore, if the weight per wheel, on account of the limit of weight that the rails will carry, is l'.iaii ciI. wo soon roach a point win to tlm driving wheels and oilier parts eannot he further enlarged, and then v.<? reach the niaxiniuni speed. The nice adjustment necessary of tin* various parts of these immense engines may he indicated by some figures as to the work performed by these parts when the locomotive Is working at high vpeed. Take a passenger engine on any of the big railroads. At sixty miles an hour a driving wheel live and one-half te< i in diameter revolves live times everv second. Now, the reciprocating parts of each cylinder, including one pi-ion. piston rod. cross le ad and connecting roil, weighing about doll pounds, must move hac k and forth a distance equal to the stroke, usually two feet, every time the wheel revolves, or in a tlfth of a second. It starts from a state of rest at the end of each stroke of the piston. and must acquire a velocity of thirty-two feet per second in one-twentieth of a second, and must lie brought to a state of rest in the same period of time. A piston eighteen inches in diameter has an area of Itol'j square inches. Steam of l.'o ]Mmuds pressure per square inch would, therefore, exert a force on the piston equal to Stx.lTo pounds. This force is applied alternately cm each side of the piston ten times in a second. Troy Itudget. Ilroko the Law. Ity conferring the Order of the Colden Fleece upon the Duke of Orleans on the occasion of his marriage F111peror Francis Joseph has caused much commotion in Vienna and Madrid, as the appointment is contrary to the statutes of the order. A Knight of the (Sold**!! Fleece must prove that he is the legitimate offspring of eight generations of ancestors, all noble and all Cat holies. The Duke's grandmother, tlio mother of the Cntnte do Purls, was Princess Ilelenc, of MecklenburgNehvCerin. who was l>or? and died a Protestant, while three of his ancestors ?the ltcgciit Orleans, Philippe Egnlite's father, and Egalite himself, married illegitimate descendants of Jxniis XIV. llnd Met the Greatest of Them.
