On Lifting Cats and Rabbits. 
It is a mistaken idea that the proper 
way to lift a full grown cat is by the 
nape of its neck without supporting 
the lower part of its body with the 
other hand. It is true that the mother 
eat carries young kittens by grasping 
in her mouth the loose skin at the 
back of her offspring’s neck, but a 
tiny kitten is a very different matter 
from a large cat, and, indeed, the only 
way to lift a kitten without squeezing 
or hurting its soft little body is to lift 
it by its neck. But after it has grown 
larger its own weight is too great to 
be supported by such a bit of skin and 
fur as is so grasped by the hand, and 
many a cat suffers perfect tortures by 
a being held in this manner and is quite 
helpless to run or struggle, as in such 
a position certain of its muscles can- 
not be controlled, and .it is absolutely 
at the mercy of its unconscious tor- 
mentor. 
- The same rule should be observed in 
lifting rabbits by their ears. ‘lhey 
should always be partially supported 
by the free hand and not allowed to 
dangle with their whole weight strain- 
ing from their large but necessarily 
delicate ears.—Watchword. 
More Than One Way. 
The caller, a man whom he had 
known in the old town back in Penn- 
sylvania, had dropped in to talk old 
times with the busy lawyer, and the 
lawyer had endured it patiently for 
an hour and a half. Then, unseen by 
the caller, he pushed a small knob at 
“the end of his desk, and a bell rang 
in the adjoining room. 
“Hixcuse me a moment, Mr. Hocken- 
splutter,” he said, stepping into the 
other room and proceeding to hold this 
one sided conversation over an imag- 
inary telephone: 
“Hello!”

“No, Bertha, I’ll not have time to 
come home for dinner. It’s already 
4:30, and I have several hours’ work 
yet to do. I am very busy and have 
been detained.”

“Yes. Goodby!’ 
Then he went back to his desk. But 
Mr. Hockensplutter had already risen 
to go.—Chicago Tribune. 
__._ That Genius. Whistler... -. 
Of Whistler Lady St. Helier in 
“Memories of Fifty Years” writes thus: 
“He was a genius and had all the de- 
fects and qualities of one. ‘To him 
everything was a joke, the subject of 
The lightest and daintiest 
of persiflage was what he excelled in, 
and one never had a dull moment in 
his company. He was always late for 
” 
. dinner,. arranging the immortal lock 
of gray hair in its proper place as he 
came into the room, with apologies 
and excuses, none of them true—of 
which he was perfectly conscious and 
also of the fact that his host and 
hostess knew that they were: not.

Wherever he was there would be a cir- 
cle listening to him, and his ringing 
laugh would be heard all over the 
room as he sent his shafts right and 
left into the joints of the armor of 
those who were attacking him. Jt was 
a great surprise and aimost a ‘shock 
when he appeared as a benedict.” 
How Eskimos Measure Time. 
Writing of the Eskimo methods of 
measuring time in a region of six 
months day or night, Harry Whitney 
in Outing says: 
“The Eskimo divides his periods into 
‘sleeps,’ but a sleep does not designate 
by any means the civilized measure of 
day and night. It is, in fact, a very 
uncertain term. Often we traveled 
from twenty to thirty hours without 
rest. Now there was no night, and I 
so far lost count of time that I was 
not at all certain of dates. Our single 
marches with the succeeding ‘sleep’ 
not infrequently covered a full forty- 
eight hours, or two ordinary days. 
The object of these extended marches 
was to take advantage of good weath- 
er and general conditions or because 
no safe or convenient camping place 
presented itself in the interim.” 
Two of a Kind. 
There is something about the char- 
acter of mules that makes their own- 
ers at times almost equally stubborn. 
In the Washington Star this dialogue 
concerning one if not two such animals 
is reported: 
“Why - don’t you get rid of that 
mule?” 
“Well, suh,’” answered Erastus Pink- 
ley, “I hates to give in. If 1 was to 
trade that mule oft he’d regard it as a 
personal victory. He’s been tryin’ foh 
de las’ six weeks to get rid o’ me.” 
An Injustice. 
When George III, first met Sir John 
Irwin, a thirsty soul, he remarked 
facetiously, “They tell me, Sir John, 
you’re fond of a glass of wine.” 
“Your majesty,” gravely responded 
the courtier, “your informants do me 
a great injustice. They should have 
said a bottle.”—St. Louis Republic. 
He Remembered. 
Wife (revisiting the scene of her be- 
trothal)—I remember, Algernon, so well 
when you proposed to me how painful- 
ly embarrassed you were. Algernon— 
Yes, dear, and I remember so well 
how kind and encouraging you were 
and how easy you made it for me, 
after all.—London Tit-Bits.

“What’s that?”
