lb. Freemantle says in bis 'Notes in tbe Bifle' tbat an ideal smokeless powder bae yet to be discovered, and that tha bfat developed by powders tontainiog nitro-glyoerine is so great «• positively to melt tbe anrlaoe ol ihe steel, and to vaporize a minnte portion ot it at orery shot, wbioh de- feet, as regards small-ealibre rifles, is fetal to its aat by soldiers.
IL Bonnel de Meiieies, member of tbe Attanonz Missions, has eome to the eonolnsloD thst the Sthara will in time be tarned into a froitfal region. He lielievee that the gaidea pnrposely lead oaravans into tbe most arid re- gloaa for tbeir own proSt, ani} that in reality there are lakes, rivers, sabter- aaeaa rivers, and abnndaot springs wbieh, if utilised for irrigation, would eompletely change that region.
Tba improvement of tbe potato ba aeemed to be the work almost exclu¬ sively of Cnglish-speaking people. The tuber bae been named, speciHoal- ly, the Irish potato, but the Frenoh •re not disposed (o allow the fact to be forgoien tbat one of tbeir race brought ft effectively into general use. Everywhere tbey are doing honor to Parmentier's memory. A Parmentier aediu was reoently offered at a grand exhibitioB. wbich brought oul a col- leetioa from oae grower of 850 Tar ie¬ ties, probably tbe greatest assemblage of the potato family ever bronght to¬ gether at oae Ume.
The quota ot enlisted men allowed the Army aad Navy of the "Cnited 8tateB ie now nearer' fllled tban it bas iMea at any period in reoent years, and the offloials are assuming tbat no further trouble will hereafter l>e en- oonatered ia eeeuring all tba exoellent material either serTice requires. At present the total strength of tbe regu¬ lar army is between 24,600 and the limit ol 2S,000, and ihe few men lack¬ ing to complete ii oonld, the untbori- tiee iay, be enlisted in ten day*. The strength ot tba navy's enlisted force ts now 11,000 men, wiih ibe additional 1000 men added by tbe laat Ooagresn, and ot this number tbere are now en¬ rolled all bnl 400. This namber ap¬ plies almost monthly at tbe variona reomitiag stations, and tbe entire quota eould be maintained witboat difflonlty but for the disohsrgea wbiob lollow ayery week or so.
Ex'Preaideat Harrison in writing of tba "Interior Departmoot," and tbe distribution of public land in ibo Ladias' Home Journal says: "Inl 662 tho policy ot giviog to aotnal settlers thereon a qaarter section (160 acres) of' the publio land, whero the lends were ratad at tl.2S per acre, or eighty aeree^ where tba lands were rated at •2.60 per aare, waa adopted by Con- groML The satller is required io make attdavit that the land is entered for his owa naa as a homestead, and tbe patent doea aot isaue to him uniil be has reeided upon and cultivated tbe laad tor flve years. In tbe case of soldiers and sailors tbe time serTed iu the army and navy, and in tbe case uf Ihoee diseharged for voands or diss- bility tha whole term of enlistment, may be deducted from the Ato years' reiiJuQce roqnireil, bot at least ooe year's reaidence is required in snob eases. It was a wise and beoefloent Uw, and it it bad eome twenty years before would probably baTc settled the queetion of tbe exteosion of slar- ery without any further help from our stataemen."

MUiNGER'S CAT.
BtBCBTHA IiKE WILTON.
AN HAWTHOBNE wss swinging gently to and fro in tbe hammock, nestled among the pillows, and idly wondering wby other people did not mnke their summer cottages as attraotiTO aa her mother bad made tbis one. The sigbt of a yoong mnn coming across tbe tennis court earned ber to sit up sad¬ denly. By the time he had vanltod OTor the net, and croased the lawa, the quick color had faded from lior obeeks, and she nodded gaily to bim as he waved hia hat.
"Where on earth did yon hail fromT" she asked, astonished, as be came within bailing distanoe.
"From tbe Etruris, in tiew York, Monday," he answered eagerly. "How are yoa, and what aro you doing witb yonrsolf just now?"
"I'm pretty well. Sit down on that camp stool ami let ma look at yon, Tom Bradley," sbe said, as sbe ahook bsndF. "I tuppoao yoa nru more conceited than ever after a year abroad."
"Couldn't be possibly," tbo yonog man replied calmly. "If this oamp stool goes dowu with me, and I got ataius on these dnck trousers, I'll eac you for damages."
"Yoar mother mnst be glad to bare you baok again,"ciaid Nan. "I should be if I were sbe."
"Thanks, so kind of yoa," mar- mured Tom. "Mother and father haTC taken the Bartlett cottage for the aummer, so I came right oat here to join tbem. I thought mother'd eat mo np the day I got here."
"I suppose you're como bnck with a trunk full of photographs to enlight¬ en ua poor benighted heathen with," sighed Nan, who had ascribed anothor reaaon to liis sadden appearsnoe on tbe scene; "suoh as Westminster Ab¬ bey, the I'oeta' Corner, Parliament baildings, and all the cathedrals. Pre had friends trayeling in Europe, before. Did you climb tbe Matter- born? Or slide down Mount Blanc? Or ride in a honso boat ?"
"Please be sensible, Nan," eaid Tom, flushing, "I won't lell yoa s word about Eorope if yon doa't want me to. I thonght you'd liko to hear alt nbont my trip."
"Perhaps I migbt, Tom, if Europe hadn't been dona brown by all my friends, long ago; and eacb one thinks be has done such a wonderful thing tbat be most exhibit his knowledge and bis photographs to bia ignorant aoqnaintNUOcB. I am so tired of it I never wont to go, myself."
"Yon were very good to writo to me, if you felt that way about it, Nau," said Tom humbly; "though, to be lurc, yoa didb't writo very often."
"Ob, I wrote to yoa beoause yoa were such an old friend of tbe family, and mother enjoyed yoar descriptlous of scenery so—and all that yon know."
"Ahy, it I had known tbat," Tom replied, "I would have written to ber inatead. Of all sad words of tongue or pen tbe saddest are tbese—"
"Please, ma'am," piped up a shrill voice behind Tom, "will you look a here for a minute?"
Tom turned aronnd ruddenly and spied a yury iiny girl standing in the tall grass, holding a very bif^ yellnw cat iu her aims. She waa ihin and bouj, Rud thu oat wni fat and heavy, so ber task was by no moans an cosy ooe.
" 'Sense me. Miss Nnn," the child raid, noticing Tom for the first time, "I oidn't know you waa engageil."
"We aren't yot, but hope to be soon," observed Tom calmly. "Who is tbis fsir damsel, Nan?"
"jr^he's a littlo girl in my Sunday- achoul class," said Nan, frowuiuK at 4iim.    "What is  it, Milly, my dear?"
"Please, Miss Nao, you waa a teiiiu' yoar class on Sunday of how fond yon was of peti>," began the girl. "«n4i ma anid for me tu briug you uver our oat to see if you woulilu't keep it for us while we goes to tbe city for a week."
"lo be sure I will," cried Nau.gath- ering tbe rat into tbe hammock witb ber.    "Uu't ho a big one, though?"
"He's got a collar od, t'lo," said tbo girl, pointing proudly to tbe loatbcru band nliiint tli.i Hnimal'H ueck. "It Bays '.MiiLKCt'e ('«t' on it—that's o'ir.*, yua know. Ilu's got two names, him¬ self. ,Tiin calls bini 'fnm,' wbich I don't tbink is very pretty, so I call him 'Jenny.' "
"lie's nice and fat," said Tom so¬ berly.     "Ha inuBl get lots to eat."
"-¦Sure be ilue;.," crie 1 Milly eutbu- aiii-tically. "He eats like a bouse alire, be doos."
•'I've beard tire eallel a 'devouring eli-ineul" somewhere liefore," said Toui mclilalivcly.      "What ilii.'s   be eat?"
"Ob, everything," said Milly prond- ly, "and lota of it. He boa fits numo- times."
"Dear me!" crieJ Xan, "I Lopu not."
"If yoa'r real gool to him he'll ont- grow tbeoi, I guew," voucbrafed Mil- j ly.     "He don't huvo °em often."
"For all small favors lel na be dnly tbaukfal.     We'll hope he'll   |>o>tpooe ! bis tit nntil nfter he's   retaraed," h.uI Tom.     ''We'll lie guod tu him.     Oood I br, Miily," be a'lded as a gentle hint. I
"1 might aa well take care of it j regnlarly," ^al 1 Niin with a laugh, ns ' the little girl riin otf uver the Inwn. ! ' Miinger's ent spendu mo.-l uf its time over b--re as ll m, ontebing  birli."        I
"It's tot v.rv iintty, iJ ll?" ssid i T.ini. ri'gnr.liiii Ihe animal du^'iouslj. | "i'.iit tliere'r a grent denl of  bim."        ]
"I ibiek bu'l. splendiil,' said Xan '. inilipu intly ; "ami I'm going to take hL-n 'n sud show bim to motbor. Dun't yon vant lo roiut, tuo? ' ,be asked, an ' I'l.m roue.
".\.i. thank yun. I've got to gu liurr 1, a.< mother doean I know I'm ua>.    i:o long, see yoa  later."
.Nnn stoo 1 looklug after bim for a UiDuu. or- imo, aud tbeu weut in nt I the little uJe ilo>.r. with .Muager^srat >u bel armr. She expert..! to ove Tom again in tbe evening, bat be di 1 not oume, aod she weut to bod feeling odd- ' ly provoked with bim. Ha ought to | kaow bow aiee it wvmed to have bim : back after au long an ahMnce, even if : ahe had baaa tuo ezcitrd to toll hia |
bim ot it She wonldn't add to bis oouoeit by telling bim aaything of tbe sort, she reasoned; he thought too much of himself as it wss. Bat argae as she might. Nan oould nut (eel satis- fled.
Tbe next day, aa Nan was making cake iu tho kitchen, she became aware, as she raised her flushed (aoe from au inspection of tho oven, o( the fact tbat Tom was sitting in the open window, swinging his feet againit tbe aide of tbo bouse.
"How are you?" he eaid affably. "1 thought this was Thursday, and the cook'u afternoon out."
"That's in«t tbe reason I'm doing tbe bakinir, Tom," said Niin a littlo crossly. "What did you como (or— scrapings?"
"Yonr mother told me to smuce myself oo the porcb ; bat I exLausted everything, even the oat, and came to look for yoa," replied Tom solemnly. "I had no idea tbat Tom, alias Jenny, had aach a fondnoes (or salted peanuts."
"Oh, give ma aome." eried Nsn, sliding ihe eake into iho oren. "I jnst love them."
"Sorry, but I only have two or three lelt in my pooket," said Tom. laying some dilapidated nits on the table. "I've (eil 'most balf a ponnd to the animal. My, bnt didn't he bave a glorious flt afterward, though I"
"He  didn't?"
"To be suro," said Tom placidly. "He went np and down and aroand and around as  if he  were wonnd up.
I tell yon, Nan, if a man—and of coarse it will ba a man—ever invents a perpetual motion machine, be'il have an able bodied oat in ai fit as the foun¬ dation of it."
"I think you're cruel! Whore is the poor thing aowY"
"iteetiag quietly on the porch in the ehade,"said Tpm, in aooudeaoend- iug tone.    "I resuscitated him."
"How?'' queried Nan, trying to continno to be severe.
"By Christian science. I jast sat atill and protended tbat tho eat wasn't baviug a flt, and if you'll believe me, Nan, he was sleeping peacyally in ten minates."
Nan atuck a long straw into the cake and said nothing.
"Say, Nan." Tum's voice sonnded a littlo noxious.
Nan looked hard at the cske, and olosed the oven door with exaggerated oare.
"Yonr mother says you're going io have a hoaae party," vontured Tom. "Too bad you didn't know I was go¬ ing to be in town, isn't it?"
'Oh, I dou't know," said Nan, fan¬ ning herkoK with her handkerchief. "I'm a(raid you and Harry Mur{ord wouldn't get on vory well together. However, yoa oan come over here when you want to—they're going to be here over Sanday."
"You know I cao't boar Harry Mor- ford," aaid Tom, swinging his foot with renewed vigor.
"I didn't ask bia for yonr boneSt. Yoa'll knock all tha paiat off tbo boaso if you keep on Making."
"I don't see what yon tee in him, really. Nan," Tom went  on moodily. Ho makes me tired."
"I dun't bave lo measure my friends hy your tspe line," sad Nan coldly. " When I decide tu do so I'll let you know."
"I'm a little hard o' hearing," said Tom, lluabing, "but I tbink I hear some ooe calling mo away;" and bo ilropped ont of sight upoa the soft grans b.'low. Nan was surprised when be vanished. He bad nover minded what nhe said to bim before, and ahe waa sorry alio had not beon more pleasant. Still, bo had no right to dictate as to her cboios of friends, nor to mistreat Munger's cat in tbat way, and abe did not care if he never camo baok. Sbe onaght bemelf liateuing, nevertholcBii, as aho went on witb her work, (or bia step on the gravel walk, and oonld not holp feeling disappoint¬ ed that he did not return.
When hor cake was done ahe bad to dreas, and tben it waa time to drive town to tbe 4.30 traiu in tbe old (asb- ioued oariljall for her gueata. Sbo was not as glaU to aee ihem as she expected io be, bnt aa they wore all talking at once, and each one of the aeven was busy admiring tbe sceuery and raving over the woods and river, ber lack of entbuiiaam was not noticed. She was tircil, and Harry Morford was nun- sually weariaome in his elTorts to en¬ tertain ber, telliug jokes that Nan bad road iu tbe comic papers weeka before, mingled with bits of small talk aud gossip in which she was not intor¬ ostod.
Aa tbey pareed a turn in the road Van saw Tom on hor.ieback, waiting at ono side (or the noisy load to gu by; and sbo laughed at Harry Mor- furd's joking for tbe Arst time.
"fbat's young Brmllcy, isn't it?" he asked, removing bia bat in a lan¬ guid bow. "1 bear he's come bnok from abroail to go into journaliam."
"Ho baa been foreign correspon¬ dent of the Newn (or a year," snid Nan, startiugAhc uld horso into a trot liy flsjiping tbe rein", "nnd bas come back now to take au editorship un tbe  btall."
'"Indeed?" said MorforJ, with n [linduw of a sneer in bis voice. "1 Hhould uot tbiuk bu'd want to wurk wbeu be conld bave a gay ti'Jie and live on his income."
'Tom is uot Inzr, and bns too mucb self tespert to be idle." Nnn in¬ tended tbis as a borne thru-^t. "There, people, what do you tbink o( our lit¬ tle cottage?"
She wus glad tn havo bor mother come out to welcome them as tbey drove np, for it pccmed as i( she could not bold up bor end of the conversa¬ tion nnr lunger, and Harry Morford wns lieginning to bo provoked. Sbe ronse.l herself oow, and entered intu tbe fun, tboagU ber heart wa* not in it. Tbey .lanced, boate.l, playeil cnr.lB and tennis, aod she led them all iu everything ; bnt sho (ound so pleas¬ ure lu it, and in ber secret benrt ahe kuew wily.
Her mother inviteil Tom to dinner on Friday,bat be declined on tbe score o.' a previous engagement, and Nan san- htm on the hotel piazza witb one of tho girls, later. IShe did not care, and showed sbe didn't by bi-wiug cniillj, and chatting away with Harry Morford as it she enjoyed it.
fom, too.waiimiHeralile, bat it never entered his heal tu thiuk Nnn was i renily aD.^rr. He ooly Knew that ^he i bad B<it given biui aa pleasant a wei-1 Clime as the otber girls bad, aud he | llul oot wint to tee Harry Mur(ord | bucking iu brr favor (or al! tbe wurld ' like Munger's cat basking in tuu sua. I Fortbat animal Tom bad no sympathy. |
II onght to know heat what was good | (or il, after itn Urge eip»rieaou witb i tiu; and aa for ila eating capacity, be { thought It might more tlttiogly have j b,-cn named "Hunger's cat.", i
Mennvhiie, baring grown weary ol j seeing Nau among the gay oompany, alter having refased, on various plea*, ' all invilalicint tu join tnem, be beoame ver.. atteotire tc bis mother. When ahe wa* tired or busy hs took long walks by himself in ihe w-^odsi On one ottheMi rambles, aa be strclled by the river, be heard a plaintive "mew" froa a lliiehet by the path.    Poahiag
aside the bushes, he discovered Mutt' gav'a nal sll¦(^^^PII^Ill release his fore- paws from a bird trap in which tbey were cangbt. Tom lifted the stone, expecting the oat to rnn off aa soon as it was released, but it did not move. Tom picked it np tben, as gently as he conld, in deference to the injured paws; and inwardly raging, though outwardly peaceful, ho mado his way Ihrough tbe underbrush to tha Haw¬ thorne cuttago. Sumo of the party were playing oroqaet, and others wers langhing over tennis, but Tom noted a long way off that Nan and Harry Morford wero sitting iu tho ahade on the porch, talking.
As Tom camo up tho path, holding tho great yellow cat awkwardly under his arm, Uarry apoke first.
"Oh, here oomea jouug Bradley with yonr cat. Miss Nan. Hand him over to me, Bradley; I just dote on oats."
"I fonnd Mnnger'aoat in the woods, Non," aaid Tom cooUy. "He caught hia (eet in a trap, and I tbink they'd be improved by a little witoh hazel." "Come np, Bradley. So auch obliged," Bttid Morlord. "Hero, take my chair; I'll sit on the atopa."
"For all the world," thought Tom angrily, "as if he owned the plaiie." ''I'm ovor so much obliged," said Nan, eomewhat icily, in her effort to be indifferent "Come up and sit down while I go and doctor him U^" "No, thank yon," replied Tom, not plea&ed at thu prospect of a tetc-a-tete with MorforJ. "I really can't. I promised to take mother boating this afternoon, and have taken too long a stroll, now ;" and he started off again. He did uot walk so rapidly, however, that he failed to hear Morford's re¬ mark to Nan as she rose to go in.
"Whai an uppish young fellow bo is, to be sure I"
It was a pity that Tom angrily quick¬ ened his steps before Han answered. Sho waited a minute to steady her voice, aod then said with distinctneas "If Tom ia uppish, Mr. Morford it is a pity mora young men are not like him;" and ahe slammed tbe soreen door behind her as sbe went into the bonssi
Tueaday, the lost day of bis vaca¬ tion, Tom apent oc tho water rowing. Ho did a great deal of thinking, too, which left him in a very unsatisfied frame of mind. As far as he was oon- oerned he felt that his week's vacation had been wasted, for he oertainly had not enjoyed it. He bad been boating, had played tennis and gone on a etraw ride with the hotel girla. but he had folt all tbe time that thoy were not like Nao. He could not bear tbe eight of Morford, and yet went eo far aa to imagine that Nan waa eugaged to him, though it made him pull hardeubnthe oara to think of it.
It was well on in tho afternoon when Tom, much disturbed by hia day's re- fleotions, turned tho bow of tbe boat towards home. Aa he neared the dock he was greatly startled to hear a fem¬ inino scream from among the over¬ hanging willows on the banks. Ho tnrned abont auddenly, and called out: "Hello, what'a the matter up there?" Nan's troubled faoo appeared at once nmong tbe leavoa as she answered hia hail.
"Oh, Tom, Tom, please got Mon¬ ger's citt ont I He fell in tbe water, and I can't reach him."
Tom looked around and aaw tho yel¬ low animal flouudoring in a foot of water, under an overhanging bank which it could not climb. It was io no danger of drowning, so Tom be¬ came emboldened by cironmetances.
"Confound Munger's oat I Wby don't you call Morford?" he coolly in¬ quired.    "He just dotea on oats."
"Mr. Morford's gone baok to the city with the others," eaid Nan impa¬ tiently, "Do, do fiah the pour thing outl"
Why didn't bo atay?" queried Tom. "You seomod to enjoy his so¬ ciety."
"I didn't aak bim to, and besides, I don't liko bim," aaid Nan, stamping her foot on tbo grass. "Will|you get that oat (or me?"
The bath will do him good," said Tom, splashing tha water with his uara. "Uo migbt have another fit if I touched him,"
"Oh, Tom I" cried Non, tunning down on tho old wharf, "I'll lovo you forever if you'll get tha poor thing out beloro ho drowna."
"What?" Tom atopped plaahing. "I  say, please get bim out," laid Nnn, reddening.
"I( yon inenut that. Nan, say it again, soid Tom solemnly.
"I'll love you (orever if you'll get bim out," reponted Nan hastily. "There now, hurry up 1 I'm sure he's dead now."
"Pretty lively looking corpse," said Tom, as be lifted tbu wet, struggling cat into tho boat. "Do you want him tbero?"
"No," said Nan, drawing back. "Let him dry llrst, pleaao."
".Miaa Nnn, pleanc, ma'am," said tho familiar voice   of  Millr, bobiud   her, I've come   for   Jenny,   pltioae, and mucb obliged to you."
How do you do, Milly ?" eaid Tom pleaanutly. "Wo are drying tbo oat. Uo hod a til Ihe other day—from over eating, and I concluded that a warm bath would bo benelieial to bim. I' warrant tbo treatment to kill ur cure."
"Did yon bavo a pleasant time in tbe city, .Milly ?" naked Nan, kindly. "Sure wo did," replie.l tbe child, picking ap tbe dripping cat, "exocpt tho baby. He swallowoJ a pin, aul bad to bo 'sperimented on by tbo doc¬ tor. Coat five dollars and was pretty exciting."
Mast bavo been—(or tbo baby," said Tom thoughtfully.
"We've all enjoyed having the oat with us, " sai-i Nnn, "and wo'll miss it when it's gone."
"It you ever want to give it away," Tom said, "send it to Mr. Henry Mor¬ ford, in tbo city—ru gire you the address. No, bul really, Milly, Miss Nan beoame very partlcnlarlr engaged a few minutes ago," added Tom, hold¬ ing ont bis baud to belp Nan to tbe boHt, into which she obediently stepped; ' 'and liesides, abe'a going (or a row, so we'll bave to excuao yuu.

We'll invite her to tbe wedding," he continued, lilting tbe oars firmly in the locks. "I think she'd make a lovely riuwer girl."

The awell yonng man haa bicycle stockings knitted for bim by his fsir admirers uuw. He no long¬ er has to buy tbcm. All bo does is to pick out tbo oolor ynri^ be wants, and one of his girl frienda converts it into stockings.
It neod to bo considered hard to think ot s prosont for u young woman to give a man of hor aoqnaintauce. Tbia is no longer tho oase. All sbo has to do ia to knit him aomothing. And anything made by ber dainty fingers is suppoaed to enhance its valne iu his eyes. She oan knit him an umbrella cover, a bag or a pair of stockings. Tbe bag must bo a traveling bag with bandies attached to it. Tbeae aro made of silk, of courae. Last year yon cuuld not have pcranaded a man to onrry nn affair of thia sort, but now it ia just "the thing."
This season all of tbe girls belonging to the "4U0" at Newport went around with tboae baga ou their arma, and knitted themselvea and tbeir mnio ad- mirera golf, bicycle and teunis Ktock- ings, as well as traveling bags and um¬ brella covere.—New York JuuruaL
