by the two champiou axmen of Aus-tralia, one of whom cut through a blue gum tree cf 63 inches in 1 min-ute and 11 seconds. He also sawed

through a tree 76 inches in

circumfer-ence In 2 _minutes 12 seconds, and

conjointly with his companion won

the double-hande-d saw championship

by sawing through a tree in 42

seconds. How do these records look

to the lumber camps of America?

Bones of a bearwhjch in life was at

least twice as large as the present

day polar bear were recently found in

a Pennsylvania cave. The animal is aid by scientists to have lived 20,000

years ago. Near its remains were

other bones described as those of the calves of the mammoth, the young

beasts having been presumably

drag-ged to the cave and devoured by Mr.

B;uln. If there had only been

prehis-toric William J. Longs and Thompson-Seton-s

what a thrilling tale of that faroff tragedy we might have!

Nova Scotiu is an agricultural

prov-ince, and like many sections in this part of the country is troubled with

Insect pests, notably the

brown-taile-moth. And our neighbors have

bor-rowed an Idea from this side of the

In-ternational line. They have set the children at work. The government offers a bounty of three cents for

every brown-taile- _moth captured and

identified, and agricultural officials

have organized school children's corps

trained to gather the Insects and turn them in. That should do the

busi-ness.

A man writing to a New York pa

a

week and to the laBt two $30 a week.

Apparently they did all the samework,

the patient being a noninfectious

med-ical case." He wants to know wheth- -or there is no uniform charge for nurses. We should advise him, says

Boston Globe, to quit inquiring and hire the first two whenever he needs

nurse's services.

LOVE

AND A

CAT

1). Bojsrta.)

By

Arthur

(Copyright by Joseph

Plckhara entered his bachelor

apart-ments with a slgs of satisfaction; it had been a hard day at the office and he wns particularly glad to get away by himself. He turned on the electric

light, hung up his overcoat and hat,

while visions of his cushioned easy

chair beckoned him delightfully.

There) it Btood, wooing him to its arms, and In It Pickham's expression change; there, on its sacred cushion,

lay a huge Maltese cat!

Plckham disliked cats. "Scat!" he

laid, sharply, with a fierce gesture.

The cat opened its sleepy eyes and

stared at him, rolled over on Its back

and, after apparently trying to stand

on Its head went to sleep again.

It was simple enough to call the janitor, but Plckham felt that It would be

a

little absurd. Surely, he ought

to be able to drive a cat out of his room without calling for help! He went softly up to the chair and

reach-ing down took a gingerly hold on two

corners of the loose cushion seat,

raised the corners and slid the cat iO the floor. "Scat!" he said again.

The cat deigned one glance at

Plck-ham, stood up on all fours, gave a tremendous hunch to its back and uuch a gape that Plckham shivered and stretched itself full length on its

)ide on the big Turkish rug, wh'.' : the end of its tall flapped lazily

trr

a few

seconds before It dropped '".t. The

cat was asleep.

Plckham rammed his hr. ds Into his

pockets and glared dow: at the cat.

Regarded simply as a tt. the animal was not objectlonabl Its fur was

smooth and silky; ' _{had a} plump,

well-fed- , prosperous air; moreover; In

Its present position Plckham

calculat-ed that it was over a yard long. He

would

rat tt

have taken up a baby

than the cat and he was not partial to babies.

He turned the chair-cushio-n over,

to avoid possible hairs, and sat down.

The cat was doing no harm, at least; and the simplest solution of the

prob-lem seemed to be to wait for the --at

to wake up, when it might be lured

into the corridor. Plckham gazed

down at the cat It was a magnificent specimen and something seemed to

stir within him at the suggestion of companionship.

Plckham- was In his thirties, and had spent the last 15 years lc

build-ing up a prol.iable business; It had been an absorbing occupation, and

neither cats nor women had taken his attention from it. Now, as he looked

at the contented cat, stretched out

upon the rug, he suddenly began to

feel domestic.

A nice girl on the other side of

the rug, with the cat between them it really might be worth while.

Pick-ha-felt a sudden pang of loneliness. He glanced about his comfortable

bachelor quarters, and they struck

him for the first time as rather dreary. The furniture seemed lingular

and heavy; the effect was akin to an interior decorator's exhibit in a shop window. He wondered how it would seem to have a workbasket on the severe library table, or a woman's cloak that hung on a peg In the

dining--room _where be took his meals,

just back of Its owner, who sat op-posite to him. He remembered that

one rainy day he had come upon the

owner hurrying along without an um-brella and had escorted her under his to the dining-room- . _{He flushed a}

lit-tle, thinking how he had taken it all

as a matter of course. Sinee then she

had never slipped into her seat at breakfast without a little Mush and

a shy "good morning." Plckham

sud-denly reflected that he would miss

that

"good morning."

Just here something rubbed against Pickham's trousers-leg- . He glanced

down. The cat had wakel up _{at last,}

and was evidently trying to

_attract

his attention.

Pickham's feeling toward the cat

being a good deal ....it. he snid:

"Poor pussy!" and hopefully opened the hall door. The cat did not budge; it merely lay back Its head and cried

ham stooped to take up the saucer the fiit rolled over on Its back and,

strechlng out Its head, intimated, as

plainly as a cat could, that It would like To be petted. "Poor pussy!" said

Plckaam again, venturing, somewhat

timorously, to scratch Its neck. "Why. kitty!"

PUkham Jumped up hastily and

pia

_i.e.

i at the still open door. A

young woman was standing there,

Chambsrlain

beaming with satisfaction, and hr recognized his vls-a-v- at the _board

lns nous., able. The cat. meanwhile, hall made his way sedately across the room and was now rubbing himsell

against the girl's skirt.

"Please excuse me!" cried the girl, stooping down to stroke the cat. "but I was so surprised! I've had such hunt for him! You bad cat!" The cat merely rubbed a little harder

purring vigorously. "He must hav sneaked In with the Janitor, ' _went on

the girl, "and you have been so kino

to him! You've given him a great saucer of milk. Some men would have driven him out at once but

never could like a man who wasn't fond of cats!"

"

I"

_{stammered Plckhara. "If!}

rather a remarkable cat, don't, yot

think? So er

The girl's eyes twinkled, yet she an swered soberly: "Kitty's _{been a}great pet; he's never been struck and h

just purrs when I _{scold him; so} I _dart

say It Isn't easy to frighten him. 1

don't believe he'd mind Scat' a bit." "No," replied Pickham. "I thai

Is"

Come, kitty!" said the girl, with a little blush, as if _{she felt that} it wa(

time to withdraw. "Good evening, and thank you." she said, and th

door closed behind her. After a mo

nient of indecision, Plckham opened

the door and hurried down the cor

ridor.

"Pardon me," he said, overtaking the girl, "but I wanted to tell you that I _{haven't cared for cats until thli}

evening. Your cat converted me,

think. I _{don't want to be a backslid}

er; I'd like to be better acquainted v.;th with your cat."

The girl regarded Plckham steadily, while the cat nosed ingratiatingly al

Pickham's boots.

"I thought," remarked the girl,

meditatively, "that I _{heard some onf}

it--'

"Thank You!" Said Plckham, Heart

ily. "I Shall Certainly Call." say 'Scat!' earlier In the evening, but

perhaps it was the janitor, or I _wai

dreaming."

Plckham flushed, but he stood hli ground. "I said 'Scat!' And now I'm

asking the privilege of a better ac-quaintance. Doesn't that show what a

nice girl a nice cat can do for a man?"

The girl reflected. "If It Is

neces-sary to your hap your preseverance

in well-doin-g to know Marmaduke

Staniford better, you may call upoD

him at suite 46, upper floor. He lives

there with my mother and myself

my name is Staniford," she added.

"Thank you!" said Plckham, heart-ily. "I shall certainly call."

"On the cat," amended Miss

Stani-ford.

"Certainly," agreed Plckham, cheer-fully-.

"On the cat."

Marmaduke, who had been looking

somewhat bored, sidled over to the

wall, pretending to have found a

mousebole. "Good night," said Miss

Staniford. "Come, kitty!"

Marma-duke dawdled after her down the

cor-ridor, while Pickham watched until the white, waving tip of the cat's tail

disappeared in the dusk.

Once back in his room, Pickham

walked thoughtfully to the telephone

and called up the fashionable florist

"Two dozen Catherine Mermets," he

ordered. "Send them to 1148 South Ninety-firs- t street, suite 46. Name? Oh er Staniford. Good hold on! Have you got any catnip? Yes,

cat-nip! Fresh? All right,

send a acouple of pounds with those roses yes! a couple of pounds!

That's what I Bald. Goodby. To

think," mused Plckham, "that I al-most forgot the

cat!"

PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE. Benefits from New Law, Which Re

mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence of Gov.

Hughes, the New York

legislature

de-cided to make no radical changes In

the new insurance law. It was pointed out by Gov. Hughes that the New York law has nlready accomplished

wide-spread reforms, with proportionate

benefits to policyholders, and that it should be given a thorough trial

be-fore any amendments were seriously considered. It is estimated that the

cost ofthe mismanagement ofthe past

did not average more than 20 cents to each policyholder, while the benefits to present and future policyholders

will amount, to many times more and be cumulative besides. The speed craze of the big companiesand theex cessive cost of securing new business

was the most extravagant evil of the Did managements. Under the new regime the cost of new business has

already been greatly reduced, along with other economies.

The showing made by the Equitable

Life Assurance Society in its report

for 1906 was a strong argument against meddling with the new law.

In the Equitable alone there was a

saving of over $2,000,000 in expenses,

besides an Increase In the income from the Society's assets amonnting

to as much more. The ratios of the Equitable's total expenses to its total

Income was 19.427c in 1904, 17.38 in

1905. and only 14.48 In 1906. The

Dividends paid to Equitable policy-lolder- s

in 1906 amounted to$7,289,734,

which was an increase of more than over 1905.

While the Equitable made a better

showing than any other big company, ill reported radical economies and

tin-ier such conditions the Legislature

wisely decided to leave the law

as it stands.

GOOD IDEA FOR MATCHES. Double Enders Popular Among Smok

ers in Mexico.

"Mexico may be behind us in some things, but she has us lashed to the

wheel when it comes to making

matches." said a man just la from the

land of the Montezumas as he handed

uutsa wax lucifer with a head on each

end.

"I saw nothing but. double ended

matches while I was away, and I can

tell you that they save one's record with the Recording Angel. If you dig down in your pocket and find one

match the chances are that you are sure of a light, because if one end goes out the other is left. These old

time matches, just revived, that

splut-ter brilliant sparks may be all right when It comes to pleasing the baby, but the fellow who puts on the mar ket a double ended match will find

a ready demand."

Not Partial to Nursing. Not long ago a young Irishman mas

seeking work in western Illinois, and among those to whom he applied was a farmer near Cairo.

asked, after a pause:

"Can you cradle?"

"Cradle!" repeated the Irishman. 'Sure,I can! But, sir," he added,

Tea drinking frequently affects

peo-pleasbadly ascoffee. A lady in

Salis-bury, Md., _{says that she was}

com-pelled to abandon the iiBe of coffee a

good many years ago, because It

threatened to ruin her health and that she went over to tea drinking, but finally, she had dyspepsia so bad that she had lost twenty-fiv-e pounds _and

no food seemed to agree with ber. She further says: "As this time I

was Induced to take up the famous food drink, Postum, and wan so much pleased with the results that I have never been without tt since. I

com-menced to improve at once, regained

my twenty-fiv-e pound _{of flesh and}

went some beyond my usual weight. "I know Postum to be good, pure,

and healthful, and there never was an

article, and never will be, I believe,

that does so surely take the place of toffee, as Postum Food Coffee. The

beauty of It all Is that It is satisfying and wonderfully nourishing. I feel as ItI could not sing its praisestoo loud." Read "TheRoad to Wejlvllle," in pkgs.

There's a Reason."

FOR THE

DESSERT

CHERRIES IN MANY FORMS MAY BE USED.

Go Particularly Well with Ice Cream How to Attain Perfect Icing

for the Cake Palatable

Sweet Sauce.

Cherries preserved go nicely wlti plain Ice cream. Cherry Juice with

dried cake a pretty dessert,

with cherries heaped In the center and whipped cream above. Candled

cherries should be put away for win-ter. To make crystallized cherries beat the whites of three eggs until

stiff, lay clusters of the cherries In

the beaten egg, with the stems, of course, outside. Drain and cover part

of thorn with white sugar and the others with red pulverised sugar. Set aside to harden on buttered paper.

Keep In a cool, dry pl'ce.

Mock blBque soup varies one's bill of fare. Here is a soup that is easy to prepare, and, because of the acids

in the tomatoes, most palatable: One-hal-f can tomatoes, one and one-hal-f

tablespoons butter, one and one-hal-f

tablespoons flour, one quart milk, salt and pepper. Stew and strain

toma-toes; scald milk In double boiler and

thicken with the flour and butter; season tomatoes well and reheat. Take both from the fire and mix to gether; if tomatoes are acid add pinch of soda, if mixed on fire soup is apt to curdle.

Sometimes the best cake bakers are at a loss how to effect a good icing.

This Icing does not crumble, contains

no eggs and can be made a day or

two before needed, if desired. Boll one and one-hal-f cups of granulated

sugar, a pinch of cream of

tartar

and

one-hal-t cup of water until

it

Is a

BOft ball when dropped In cold water. Set aside to cool and when lukewarm

add two squares of scraped chocolate

and beat with a wooden spoon or

paddle until creamy, then add tepid water until It is the desired con-sistency. If any other flavoring 1b de-sired, simply leave out the chocolate

and add any desired flavoring or fruit

juice. If covered with a damp cloth

it will keep for days. When needed, add a little more tepid water. This frosting is fine, smooth and velvety, dries easily and yet retains its

mois-ture.

A sweet sauce

that

Is much liked by our British cousins was given to

the department by an old English

cook, who vowed It should be found

In every cookbook. Place the yolks of four eggB In a saucepan with about

five ounces of powdered sugar, and

stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture assumes a whitish

tint,

then

add gradually two gills or cream, beating constantly, and, when this is finished, grate In the rind of one

orange. Put the pan over a slow fire

and let the mixture cook for about

four minutes. Do not let it boll,

how-ever, and keep stirring it. to prevent it from burning. When it has been strained through a sieve it is ready

for use.

HOW TO STEW RED CABBAGE.

Alternate Leaves in Pan with Layers

of Sliced Ham.

Having stripped off the outer leaves

aud washed the cabbage, quarter it, remove all the stalk and cut it into

shreds.

Slice cold ham thin and put it into

a stewpan alternately with layers of

shredded cabbage, having first laid some pieceB of butter In the

bott-ft-c( the pan; add ubout half a pint of boiling water.

Cover the pan closely and stew

steadily for three hours until the

cab-bage Is perfectly tender and the liquid

absorbed. Be careful it does net

scorch. If it is so dry as to be lb

danger of burning add a little boilins water.

When done press and drain tt through a colander and serve with th" cabbage heaped in the middle of the

dish and the bam placed around. Blowing Window Shades. The annoyance caused by a

wir-do-shade blowing In and out whei the window is lowered from the to?

can be oviated by having a cord in bottom of shade and fastened to ..:.' movable object, as back or arm of u chair, and chair or object moved out.

a sufficient distance from window to prevent shade from touching window,

frame. A free circulation of air in

also obtained, whether the shade Is lowered or raised.

Golden Orange Cake.

Cream one-fourt- cup of butter, add one-hal-f cup of sugar slowly and

con-tinue beating, says a writer in Add the yolks of five eggs, beaten until thick and lemon colored, and one teaspoonfulof orange extract. Mix and sift seven-eighth- s

cups of pastry flour with one and one-hal-f

teaspoons of baking powder, and add alternately with onefourth cup of milk to the first mixture. Bake In a

buttered and floured tin.

For Hardwood Floors. To prevent hardwood floors from

be-ing marked, cut pieces of thick felt the exact size ofthe tips ofthe chairs

and fasten on with astrong glue. The felt Is far less expensive than rubber tipsand will wear much better.

Rock-lu-chairs may have a long, narrow strip glued on.
