There 1 a very well known phyilciaii
b town wbo believe In the truami
gratlon of souls. HI tbeorlc in fart
are not unlike those of the Buddhist,
who believes that his soul has climbed
to It present estate through micoeaaiv
dwellings In tlie bodlos of brute. Th
doctor is convinced that during his last
Incarnation ha was a cat Therefore
b pay hi respects to eata In every
manner possible. Ills house Is the asy
lum of "straya" lie binds op their
wounds, he restores their eoata, be
feeds and pets them and he baa them
by dozens.
When the house become overrun he
will consent to let "flood and reliable"
families take some of his pot In ad
dition to these unfortunates the doctor
has some aristocratic cats cats with a
pedigree. These are marvels of beauty
and of pride, varying In color from the
one of ebony coat to the lithe malUee
and the tortoise shell, whose mew Is
musical above all others.
The scarf pins of the physician are
cats made out of moonstones or agate,
with ruby or topaz eyes. His cuff but
tons are cats, and a sort of convention
alized eat preside over his stamp In the
blank leaves of Ills library rooms. it
b indeed hi coat of arms, and silver
and china both bear It But Uncrown
ing curiosity Is the enormous Persian
eat which, it u (Tod, site In a niche In
tlie hall to remind the doctor of a per
Ished pot
It Is but fair to say that tins admlra
tion for cats Is no affectation on the
part of the physician, who is a very sin
cere and simple man, but is really the
result of a doep conviction. He has a
theory concerning each of hi friends,
and tlie animals which he considers the
ancestors of their souls are not always
those which would be chosen If on
had an opportunity of choosing. Chi

But when It meals do not arrive on
time it organize a strike, and is always
successful in getting It demands.
Early one morning tlie owner of aaid
horse bad an unusually large amount
of business to transact, and a boy, who
attends to tlie animal In a stable In tlie
rear of the fish (tore, rushed tlie horse
out into tlie avenue and hitched It up
to a wagon.
The flail donlor gayly stepped into
the vehicle, and seizing the rein yelled
"git up!" The horse did not "git up '
a little bit; It stood stilL The drier
talked Kntly to his honteslilp, while the
ttablo boy putted it on the neck, scratch
ed It backbone and whispered some
thing into It left ear. The horse prick
ed up the right ear and answered In
tlie negative by staying right there.
The boy bethought himself that tlie
bora had not bad It breakfast and
unhitching th animal led It back to
tlie stable, where It was fod a pailful
of oat. That horse waa not going to
work until it bad had it breakfast,
and aa oon a it hod eaten ufOoiontly

construction of two mortar batteries of
sixteen mortars each in thn swales
hack ot and on either side of the promon
tory. Such an armament in such a posi
tion, he added, would give the city com
mand over any war vessels which' might
desire to lie in the oiling and shell San

colonel is fifty-live acres of the southwest
corner of the city cemetery, which would
have to lie condemned, but which is

Who are then, royal daughters ot tne
king? What I their misaionf w hnt is
the signillcatlon ot tne silver symooi iavj
wear and the potency of the mystic motto,
"In bis naincf"
In January, 1880, a circle of ten ladies
met to dUcus and arrange some plau
which should unit all Christian women
In one grand sisterhood of service. Adopt
ing the system of Edward E. Hale's Ten
Times One clubs they constituted them
selves a Central Ten, around which
ihould crystallize other Tens of workers,
not assuming any authority or responsi
bility over them, but simply to form a
nucleus around which they might cluster,
and from which might radiate encourage
ment, advice and guidance. Of the va
rious name proposed for the order that ot
the King' Daughter waa most favorably
received and flnally adopted; the badge of
the society was selected in the small sil
ver cross tied with the royal color; the
watchword chosen wn the simple "In
his name" of the apostles of old, and the
mottoes of action selected were:
"Look forward and not bock."
"Look out and not in. "
"Look up and not down."
"Lend a hand."
The society as organized had no consti
tution and no code of laws save the one
general regulation that whenever any rea
sonable request should be made "In his
name" It should be granted without ques
tion or delay.
Never was less said or written, and
never so few plans made for any work, as
the design of the society was to move
silently and ateudily, aud to secretly ac
complish it purpose of bridging the
chasm between the rich and the poor, and
to unite all women engnged In any kind
of good work in such a way as to secure
to each the sympathy and co-operation of
all. Yet from almost every state in the
Union, and from most remote conntrlea
over the sea India, Australia and New
Zealand from people in every walk In
life, from pastors ot churches, matrons of
hospitals, teachers of schools, leaders of
philanthropic societies, presidents of col
leges, from the belles ot Fifth avenue and
the street gamin of the Bowery come tid
ings of tm coi;inl organization of tens
upon tens ot King's Daughters, until
8,000 silver crosses have been sold and
10,000 members have enrolled their sanies
among the King's Daughters, although
the society has been orgauized only two
years.
As for the kind otwork accomplished
by this remarkable sisterhood, It is too
varied and extensive to be recorded In de
tail There are Tens that visit the sick,
Tens that supply the hospitals and oomes
with flowers, Tens that support foreign
missionaries, Tens that slug and Tens
that sew, Tens that endow beds In hos
pitals, Tens that provide pleasant coun
try homes for deserving poor, nnd Tens
that simply "bridle their tongue" and
"endeavor to live in love and charity with
all men" all "In his name."
The cash girls above referred to are
known as "the little doorkeepers," whose
unique motto is "Lord, keep thou the
door of my mouth;" and there are Hearts
ease Tens of little children who cultivate
pansies for the hospitals. There are tho
Quiet Tens in schools, and the Courteous
Tens, who claim that "King's Daughters
shonld ever display the manners of the
court;" the Old Maids' Tens of helpful
unappropriated blessings, and the Old
Lady's Ten, whose youngest member Is
more than 80 year old, and whose oldest
member donned the silver cross on her
100th birthday; the Faithful Tens in
guilds, the Look-up Tens In deaf mutes'
homes; and even in the Home for Incura
ble the patients waiting for death have
organized themselves into n Considerate
Ten, who shall endeavor to make their
nurses' labors as light aa possible. One
of the young ladies' Tens In Boston sent
loads of sand to the tenement yards m the
city for poor children to piny In, and the
graduating class of a fashionable board
ing school calling themselves the Con
tinuing Ten have adopted a little girl, and
Intend to provide for her and give her all
the advantages of culture and education
which they have received. Musical Tens
of th. most cultured and gifted ladies la
the city devote their talents to the enter
tainment of the poor, and also, through
their use in charitable concerts, accumu
late fund, for the support ot various mis
sions, thus bringing into use the talent ot
the wealthy for the benefit of the poor.
