THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



Bl 



used by a matronly cat in calling 

 her family together, and sLe will 

 continne to nse it ■while caressing 

 thera. 



"But the meaning of the word is 

 neyer so well understood by kittens 

 as when uttered in a sharp tone and 

 repeated a number of times, more as 

 an explosive than otherwise, for it 

 is a warning of danger and a call for 

 instant action from the mother cat, 

 ■who is imperious in her demands for 

 obedience." 



Then there is the word "mi-youw, " 

 ■which is varied to "wow-teiouw- 

 yow-tiow, wow-you-ts-s-syow, " end- 

 ing in an explosion. The author be- 

 lieves that the ^YO^d thus uttered 

 signifies both defiance and a curse 

 "and comes so near to bold, bad 

 swearing" that he refrain.? from 

 giving the English for it. 



There may be skeptical pe/sons 

 ■who will ridicule this theory, but we 

 should say that it was just as rea- 

 sonable as Professor Garner's, while 

 the language of the cat sounds far 

 more articulate and significant of de- 

 sign than the squeaky vocabulary 

 ■which he brought home from goril- 

 la land. One thing is certain — the 

 means for carrying on investigation 

 in the interesting field of feline lan- 

 guage are available in almost every 

 household, and to obtain the desired 

 conversations from which a volumi- 

 nous treatise upon it can bo written 

 it is not necessary to go to Africa 

 and remain fur six months shut up 

 in a cage in the heart of th e forest. 



A florist, who claims to know, says 

 New York u.ses 30,000,000 roses and 15,- 

 000,000 ruirnatiODS every season. 



The Difference. 



Teacher — What is the difference 

 between industry and luck? 



Boy — One door. 



Teacher — Humph! How do you 

 explain that? 



Boy — Industry is what you has 

 yourself. Luck is what your neigh- 

 bor has. — Pick Me Un. 



Up and Down.

 band dresses up his pretty wife in

Zounds— That's all right, but her 

 women friends make up for it by 

 giving her a dressing down when- 

 ever they talk about her. — New York
