Feline That Crosses. the River Every Day. A cat that swims across the Thames River every evening and swims back again next morning is something in the nature of a novel- ty, but the people of | Deptford claims that they possess such an an- imal. The feline to which such re- markable feats are attributed be- longs to the ferryboatman who us- ed to ply between .the landings of the shipyards of Messrs Raber ompson, on the Bouthwick sid and Messrs, Laing on the Deptiord side. This man had up to about. a fortnight ago ferried a small boat across the river and on many oc- casions the cat, which had appar- ently discovered 'pastures new" at Bouthwick, accompanied him in his boat each evening, and returned by the first ferry the next morning, Bometimes, however, the cat would travel so far in the boat, and then of its free will would leap' over- board and finish the journey with a Senntifvl paw-over-paw stroke. On the cessation of the ferry ser. Yico Debple thought that the cab would check its roving disposition and remain on its own side of the river, but evidently pussy found that the rats and mice on the Dept-!; ford side were not to be compared with those at Bouthwick, for every night, with a beautifully graceful jump it takes the water and swims soross the river, ' returning first with a con- tented. and. self-satisfied smirk. But 'Deptford is 'not: the only place on the Thames that can boast of a clever cat. Harry Milham, one of the most popular boating men on the river, has a cat at his well- known boat-houss at Btrawberry € Teddington, which is a feline max re: e bow of a boat gazing into the water.

Sometimes these novel honeymoons are prolonged for several years, as in the case of Count de Lesdain' and 'his wife, who, shortly before Mr. and Mrs. Fleischman set ous on their Polar trip, returned from Tibet, after the most. romantio: honeymoon trip: of modern times. They had started seventeen months previously from. Peking, and travelled towards the myster- ious Lhassa land, being lost to all outside communication for quite a Jong time. Altogether they travel- led nearly five thousand miles, and the many dangers and exciting ex» periences they encountered pros, vided the Count with ample mater< ial for an absorbing book.

Travelling in Jyincely style, Mr. and Mrs, Penfield returned from a honeymoon tour up the Nile a few) months ago; which ran away with close on $100,000. Mrs. ' Penfield was formerly Mrs. Annie Weight- man Walker, whose | father, the famous Philadelphia chemist, died a few years ago and left her his sole heiress. She soon retired from busi ness, and ultimately married Mr; Penfield, the well-known artist. Perhaps the most, expensive hone eymoon on record, however, was that of a son of Mr. Charles Tif- fany, who died a few years ago snd left an estate exceeding $10,000,000! in valve. | 'He 'emphasized his; dis- approval of his son Pamettie' mars riage with a poor girl by leaving him only the income of a trust fu of $1,000,000, whereas his brother got the fortune outright...
