From the standpoint of utility, ex.
cept In so far as decorativeness is
atility, not much can be said for the
Average cat these days. The cat en-
Joys its privileges without greatly con-
cerning itself with the responsibilities.
And In point of fact, its services in
most houses would be superfluous.
The mousetrap now does for most
households what the cat formerly did.
Nor 1s the cat particularly distin-
guished by the affection for its mas
ter which is so conspicuous In the
dog, its sole domestic rival for the
warm spot under the kitchen stove.
If you will note the cat carefully, you
will observe that it usually wants
something of you when it comes
around. None of its calls are courtesy
calls. The arched back and the
“mew-mew"” are eloquent of its de-
sires. If it does not receive these
marks of attention and falls to find
anything else that interests it, say, a
nice warm spot (n your lap to take a
doze on, the cat moves majestically
and indifferently away. Your person-
ality has no particular charm for it
It admires the radiator more than it
does you. These characteristic symp
toms of self-centeredness and grave
detachment are reinforced by the eyes
of the cat. A cat's eyes look at you,
but they seem to be looking beyond
you. They zre like the eyes of the
caged lon, which always seem to be
seeing the distant desert that it loves
and that is calling to it by night and
day.
From year to year theme have come
reports of the increase of deer in Con-
necticut which western people have
found it difficult to believe Last year
there were complaints that the pro
tected animals were destroying far
mers’ crops. This year comes the
story that the Connecticut game war
dens have given warning that motor
men on interurban electric cars must
exercige the utmost care not to run
down deer which happen to get upon
the track, or they will be made to
incur the full penalty of the law for
killing deer out of season. It is said
that a considerable number of deer
have been killed in this Way, espe
