Tear* of Patience and Plenty of Kindnesi
Before They Will Learn Tricks.
Aii English exhibitor of trained ani-
mals, Mr. Leoni Clarke, is reported as
Baying that, though he has educated all
sort.i of animals, from lions downward,
he has found that the most difficult of
them all is the cat. He has to treat this
creature with extraordinary care. A dog
is sensible, a monkey accommodating,
and a rat either forgives or forgets—but
a cat! She is a hopeless bundle of sensi
bilities. Strike lier once, if only by ac-
cident, and she will never perform again.
Kindness is not only politic, it is abso-
lutely necessary in the training of cats.
Although 30 cats are sufficient for his
entertainment, ho has 00 or more with
him, for cats are very skittish creatures,
and when they take the whim in their
heads it is useless to take them on the
stage. When Mr. Clarke enters the stable,
the mewing is prodigious, and he is in-
stantly buried in a moving mantle of
cats. It took him four years to train
some of his animals before he could put
them u]xin the stage. A parachute cat,
which climbs up a rope to the roof of
the theater and flies down by parachute,
is the second which has done the trick.
A curious feature of the show is the way
in which the cats walk over a rope ol
rats and mice and canaries, stepping
gingerly between the little fluttering
bodies. This mighty forbearance is
brought about by training up the cats
from kittens in the same cage as the
rats and birds. There are only six of his
cats that Mr. Clarke dares trust among
the rats. The rats and mice come from

as easy as makin

By the way, it would be making
a decided mistake to let slip such

Tea and Eggs.
I recall a colored waiter at a queer lit
tlo hotel in Alabama, who asked a friend
of mine:
"Will you have tea or coffee?"
"Tea."
"Store tea or sasser tea?"
"What's that?"
"Store tea or sasser tea?"
"What d'ye mean by sasser tea?"
'' Sassafras tea—good for de blood.''
"Give me store tea. I want meals,
not medicine."
And another who asked:
"How you have your eggs?"
"Soft boiled,"
The waiter disappeared and returned.
"Bass, I don't believe you'd care foi
dem eggs boiled. Better have 'em mixed
up wid a ham omelet.''
No eggs were ordered.—Polly Pry ic

Boston Politeness.
The Observant Citizen of a Boston
daily witnessed an interesting incident
in a Boston lee trie. A young man wa«
seated reading in a crowded electric car,
and a fashionably dressed, elderly worn
an entered, accompanied by a pretty
girl. The young man never looked un
until the elder lady, touching his shoul
der, said, honey sweet, "Would you
kindly giv<> my daughter your seat?'
The young man located at the young wo-
man, who looked by no means ill oi
feeble, then raised his hat and said quiet
ly, "No, madam."
He Wasn't.
"You oppose every movement of wo-
man in politics," said the fair lobbyist,
"and you speak sneeringly of the 'new
woman.' Are you a misogynist?"
" 'M —no," replied the representative
from Egypt, scratching his chin. "I'm
