CAT TALEST
A church congregation in Sunders.
Ky. wus dismissed most summarily un
der unpleasant circumstances two Sun
duys since. Klght In the middle of the
preachers' discourse there bolted Into
the church through the half-open door
what appeared to be a bluck and white
cut, closely followed by u yellow dog.
Cat and dog ran swiftly down the hild
ille aisle to the plat form. The preacher,
taken unawares, did the natural thing,
kicked at he cut. hit it, und landed It
squarely in the middle of the congre
gation. Then It turned out that the cat
wus u skunk.
A Lewiston. Ale., family has two verv
pretty and bright 'coon cuts. One of
them was shut out III thes now the other
night and had to stay there, forgotten
by the family. It was the Hrst time she
had been out ull night, and the first
time she ever walked on snow. In the
morning she was found at i o'clock
walking quietly around the house in u
well-worn path thut she had made. The
truck was four Inches wide und trodden
down hard to the ground, as if u senlrv
had patrolled the house all night. She
has not once stepped outside; of it. ,
There is at least one happy cat In the
show at .Mechanics' Building, says the
Koston Traveller. It is a small tiger
kitten who has been suddenly raised
from a tramp life to affluence und dis
tinction. He was wandering through Washing
ton street, hungry and cold, the day the
rats were entered for the shor, and
Elijah B. Hine, the well-known temper
ance orator saw him, picked him Up
and paid fifty cants to secure him com
fort for a week. Ho was assigned to
clean, comfortable cage, with plenty to
eat and drink, ami with true phil
osophy he accepted the change.
The judges came around on prize day
and left him a ribbon which entitles him
to a prize of J. a first prize for the only
cat of that class. He has risen in valuu
since then.
There is a black cat at present in the
sedate seclusion of the Hampton Court
cloisters which has spontaneously
"sworn iff" from all kinds of flesh food.
Its favorite diet is uncooked scarlet
runner beans, which It eats as an Ital
ian eats macaroni. Cucumbers it likes,
and carrots which nre boiled, but fruit
it will not touch. The Hampton Court
cat seems to stand alone in a partiality
for food which none of its race could,
hitherto be induced to look at.
A pet cat belonging to a Rumbord
Falls family some time ago had a tit
and disappeared under the shed. Some
days afterward they thought they
stnelled decomposing feline, and vigor
ously applied chloride of lime. Th
good woman of the house was sure the
odor wus growing stronger, till one day
the cat walked unconcernedly In, and
since then they've been discussing the
smcdllng powerof Imagination. Lewis

A Belfast cat has a delicate way of
calling attention to the fact that there
are some articles of food for which she

from the dish and laid them In a pile
