W. a miner, his wife and child had a narrow escape from death in their cabin. The storm caused a gigantic tree to fall across the center of the house, but provi- dentially the man was at one end of the building and his wife and child at the other, when it fell; and al- though the central portion of the cabin was literally smashed to the ground, either end of the structure re- mained intact. Sacrilegious Cat. The Chinese world of Philadelphia {s searching for a large Maltese cat which had the temerity the other day to steal a nice chicken which had been placed before the sacred joss. There was almost a riot when the guardian of the joss discovered the loss, but this turned to dismay later, when the cat was seen crawling over the roof adjoining the joss house with a good portion of the chicken in her mouth. There was a chase, but the cat was too nimble. Now the joss must go hungry. —_— 'Tis Generally, “Gent" is the most offensive of all abbreviations, and Justice Wightman once construed it very aptly. In a case. tried before him a witness re- ferred to one of the parties as “an in- dependent gent.” “An independent what?" said Wightman, “A gent, my lord,” repeated the witness. “Oh, Iun- derstand,” replied the judge, “that's something short of a gentleman, isn't it?"—London Chronicle. ————— Need Mental Stimulation. Some people live in ruts and think in ruts. They vary their lives little, and the routine of thelr thoughts less, and their bodies get stodgy. Thelr eyes are lusterless, their skin be- comes sallow, they need waking up, and their wakening needs to be men- tal. They want mental stimulation, and if this stimulation is to show it- self forth in the form of beauty, it should be pleasant. ———— Westminster Abbey in History.
