Use a Brush,
A paint brush is an excellent thing
to remove dust from cracks and
carved furniture. It reaches crevices
where a dust rag never could find the
dust. Try this when next you clean
the baseboards, window sashes, etc.
You will never be without a brush.

|
The cat is drawn to the spot be-
cause it scents the phantom of death,
| and cannot resist its magnetic attrac
tion.
From this it does not follow that the
| person who sees the cat is going to
die, but that death is overtaking some |
one associated with that person; and |
it is in connection with the latter that
the spirit of the grave is present, em-

psychic faculty of smell that it might
be so used.
But although I regard this theory
as feasible I do not attribute to cats,

power to presage good fortune, simply
because I have had no experience of
it myself. Yet, adopting the same lines

“1 sincerely hope not,” replied Sec-
