CAT WITH A CHARACTER.-I saw none
there outrivang "0ur Jake" at home in Amer
lea. Jake is Maltese, huge and generally lazy.
tic was educated 0y sea captalns and by him
left with our -amily several years ago. Jump
ing through your arms is his chief accomplish
ment. He shirks that now whenever possible
He deems it beneath the dignity of middle age.
He sleeps on the bed with our folks. His hour
for retiring is hall-past nine. He signifies
his readiness for rest by going to the
bedroom door and looking anxiously
around. He likes TO arise by day
light. If our folks do not respond he makes
three separate demonstrations. First, he gets
up, stretches himself; then sits upon our folks
and looks gravey in their faces. Sometimes he
touches one of their eyes with his paw. This is
his gentle way of saying, cts time to get up"
But if our folks say, with Solomon's sluggard,
ga little more slumber, little more folding of
the hands" &C., Jake jumps off the bed and
makes himself very dsagreeabe and noisy by
scratching at the door. Ifthere is then no move
ment be jumps on the bed again and trots all
over our folks This is a more determined way
of saying, Come, come; well, neyerl Amt
you going to get up to day."
Jake is heavy; he is aldermanic. His trot
generally brings our folks to terms. When he
sees them down stairs and the kitchen fire
kindled, he seems rather better satisfied, He
smells his own breakfast not afar off. But he
troubles none with the demands OF his stomach
until the rest are satisfied. He is cat of order,
regularity and etiquette. When he sees the
chairs drawn back and the knives and forks
laid down, he indicates that his time for being
sci Eed has come by a slight, well-br NEW. He
knows his place in the family. He knows he is
ornamental, useful and amusing. He asks but
for justice and the warmest corner by the fire.
place. For that, in winter, he has a weakness
which sometimes fills the house with the smell
of burnt fur.
His hatred of other cats is intense He allows
none on the premises. The sight of one in the
back yard oyerturns his whole mental equilb
rum. He spends hours at the window on the
lookout for invaders. He seems to have discard
ed all companionship with his own race. Some
times there comes terrible cutlery, splitting and
