SAD HISTORY OF A CAT. foil Will Kecognize Him by the Tomato Can Over His Head. A person who hasevidently been driven in sano throu;;h the midnight music of cats sends the fo lowing communication to The St. Louis Kept blic: My tortoise sholl cat was presented tc- me five times; each time he re turned to tl c place of his birth, to be thrown into a willow lutsket and hustled back to me. Ho continual to act in this way, receiving a new iiKinoeirli time, until he was hardly pre sentable. The name which seemed to please him bt wi s that of rvtrdanaptilus. I called him so, not only because this oriental hero has never h id even a tiiseoso named in houor of him, bi:t liecan.se early In life the cat evinced a lining for licking out the interior of sardine cans. In the course of time Sardanapalus devel oped iuto n strong, manly eat, with .a full blown nose. lie mixed a great deal in soci ety, chiefly at night. As soon as any one whs stirring in the morning he would enter Che study and curl up on the unabridged dic tionary to take his day's rest. Managing by strict economy to make both ends moot, hers he would lie, growling and striking out vi ciously whenever I wiped my pen ou him or wished to ramsack Webster for the missing "a" in judg nent. But, alas, the morning of tho 14th brought not my inrdauapalus to me. After a mo ment's sear-h we discovered him in a vacant lot near by endeavoring to free himself from an empty c rn can, which, as he was explor ing its dep us, had caught firmly in the fur behind his ears. The can had been opened only at one end, but a hole had been punched in the othei end, so that Sardanapalus could breathe eas.lv and view the surrounding land scape to a 1 mitd extent. I approached cau tiously to r-'inovo his sunNuinet, but the in stant I lai 1 my baud tenderly upon him he shot dow n the street and was gone like a streak of god luck, knocking as he went two baby carrii.es oft the track and leaving his pursuers fa.- in the rear. I went t'tbo nearest drug store to tele phone to a 1 my friends living in the direc tion in which he had started out. I asked them to get a halter and try to stop him; or, if that was not possible, to head him off. But none of them succeeded und we never heard of him again. " We listen in vain for the catlike tread of his cushion! it font. I will never again crawl out of bed, rearing the azure robo of night ou a rocking chair and sweep Sardanapalus and his little liauil of followers off the back porch. He left notning by which to be remembered except a fe v locks of his hair, which I subse quently plucked from the rose bush, and the impression of his delicate form in the lettuce tied. Increase of Had Eyes. Defective eyes nre on the increase in spite of all our lygienic teaching. The cause lies, no doubt, in too much study of books in early hfu and in badly lighted rooms. Theru should lie at least one square foot of window to every five square feet of floor in our school rooms, aud that the light should, if possible, be allowed to enter from the south or east, and preferably from the south. The quantity of light should ut least be sufficient to enable ordinary print to foe read with ease in the darkest corner of tho room. Then, in addition to this, youth should have more ut of door life to tieuefit the eyes. The eyes are greatly strengthened by a life in the open air. At least the eyes of students and those T ho live much indoors twice a day should lie bathed in cold water and massaged carefully. This is as iixoftil for them as for Hnraid or neaitn. fialnre. A curious feature of the National museum at Washing ton is the zoological section, or the depart nent ilevotwl to birds' eggs. It has about 12,0tKi birds' eggs, packed away in little trays placed in cases along the walls of tho buildiu;;. The eggs in the collection vary in size from that of the tiniest humming bird to that of he giant bird whose remains are found in M ulagascar. There is a little egg of a tiny humming bird lying in a diminutive nest. The humming bird that mode the nest and laid tie egg is the smallest bird in the world. The little egg has a length or long diameter of 3-lotlis of an inch and a short diameter of 3-looths of an inch. The nest is l-30th of an inch across one way and 93-100 the other.- Boston Budget. Paths of Tornado, Professor J. P. Piulay gives the width of the path of destruction in tornadoes, as deter mined from the records of eighty -eight years, at from 10 to 10,530 feet, the average being l,3fi9 feet.

Rust Proof Paper. The improved manufacture of rust proof paper, for w rapping metallic articles liable to become i arnished, consists in incorporating with the aper or applying to its surface a fine metal ic powder in such a manner that it will adhere. By this means, when silver, copior, briiss or iron articles are wrapped in the paiwr they are preserved from rusting or tarnishing by reason of ic greater affinity of the zinc for sulphuretted hydrogen, chloride or acid gat or vapors, id preventing them from injuring articles of such materials.

Vigor and Vitality Are quiet ly given to every part of the body by Hood's Sarsaparilla. That tired feeling is entirely overcome. The blood is purified, enriched, and vitalized, and carries he tlth instead of disease to every organ. The stomach is toned and strengthened, the appetite restored. The kidneys nd liver are roused and invig orated. The brain is refreshed, the mind made clear and ready for work. Try it. Small-i ox is said to be raging among the Okai.agon Indians on the Pacific coast. Cheery Words From a gentleman of Texas to his own people, and all others over the country Hear what he says: I haye been a practical druggist in Tyler for a number of years, and in that time have had occasion to examine, try, and notice the effect of nearly all the highly recommended preparations or pat ent medicines on the market, and as 1 have suffered untold misery myself, the past number of years, from a severe form of inflammatory rheumatism, and could find nothing to cure or relieve me, I had almost drawn a conclusion that all pat ent medicines were more or less frauds until about one year ago, I was in duced by a friend now living in Tyler, to try a preparation known aa 8 B, or Bo tanic Blood Balm, and after a long per suasion on his part, I finally made up my mind to make one more effort to rid myBelf of the terrible affliction; and it now affords me the greatest pleasure of my life to state to the citizens of Smith county that I am entirely cured, with no traces of the disease left, and all effected by the magic healing properties of B. B. B., which I consider the grandest, purest and most powerful blood remedy known toman. I have been subject to ins fiammatory attacks since ten years of atjft. and up to the present time have had four. The last spell came on me in November, 1885, over a year ago, at which time I was confined to my bed for eight weeks, pass ing the nights in misery, with no sleep except when produced by narcotics and various opiates. The week previous to using B. B. B. up that time I had only eaten six meals, ami could scarlely sit up without support; but after using three bottles I was able to relish my meals and to walk up town, and after six bottles had been used, thank heaven, I was en tirely cured, and not the slightest pain felt since that time. When I returned to business in February, my weight was 145 pounds, but gradually increased until my regular weight was again attained, 210 pounds. The noticeable fact in what I have so cheerfully stated is, that this un paralleled and remarkable discovery, B. B. B. , cured me in mid winter, at the very time my sufferings and misery were the greatest. I take it on myself as a practical druggist to heartily, cheerfully, as well as conscientiously, recommend this glorious blood remedy to all sufferers of rheumatism or blood troubles, and not only myself, but the firm ot McKay & Adams, who handle it, will cheerfully in dorse its superior merits.
