A cat knoun to be over 2S years old died at Tyro, Kan., theotherday. Thirteen Brooklyn cats quarreled and fought until all but one w ere dead. A Philadelphia man ounh a cat that he claims has killed ",100 mice during its lifetime. In a mine near Butte, Mont., liie hun dreds of cats that hate never teen the light of day. Twenty years ago a cat race was held at Lancaster, Ky., in which there were 305 entries. In Maine last year 6,400 Angora cats were raited. Some of the best of them w ere sold for $50 each.

A gale moderating at sunset will in crease before midnight, but if it mod erates after midnight the weather will improve. There is an old saying originated, perhaps, for the benefit of school chil dren that there is only one Saturday in the yiar without sun during some portion of the day. Friday 'b weather show r what may be expected on the following Sunday; that is, if it rains on Friday coon, then it will rain on Sunday , but if Friday be clear then Sunday will be fine as well. The 12 days immediately following Christmas denote the weather for the coming 12 months, one dny forn month; the first snowstorm indicates the num ber of snowstorms the winter will bring. For example, if the first snow- torm comes on November 29 look out then for 2'J snowstorms. Thunder on Sunday Is considered by the wise men the sign of the death of a great man; on Monday, the death of a woman; on Tuesday, if in the early summer, it foretells an abundance of grain; on Wednesday, warfare is threat ened; on Thursday, an abundance of sheep and corn the farmer may reckon upon; on Friday, some great man will be murdered; on Saturday, a general pestilence and great mortality. ELECTRIC SPARKS. Experts figure out that a telephone line across the Atlantic, even if it could be built, would not pay unless patrons were charged seven dollars a minute. Germany is being aroused by a furore of railroad building, mostly electricnl. In the month of June 330 railroads were projected. The Germans are ahead of the English in electrical equipping. The farmers and fruit growers of California are already seizing the od tagea electricity affords and are al ready broadening their opportunities in view of the industrial revolution that this agency guarantees. It may be interesting to those fond of figures to state that there were in use on January 1 this year l.lja.iOO miles of telephone rt. and that the entire cost of construction of the Bell telephone system was over $111,000,000. The mine owners of the Pacific coast have awakened to the enormous advan tages of electric power in mining and leaders among them say no one can yet estimate the changes in gold and silver mining that will follow the Introduction of electricity In that Indnttrv.
