Cats'-After Victor Hugo -
| In the bur1esque novel which Punch is
now publishing, after the French OF
Fictor Nogo" (Victor Hugo), the fol
lowing remarks on cats appear in con-
nection with the passage of the hero
through the streets OF London at night:
'ssAntoneroIy, muttered to himself
HeighoP and passed along the de.
serted Streets"
He seemed to be treading on the
silent tombs of the nameless and the
forgotten.
He heard the march of cats through
the darkness"
"They rushed to an attack with loud
cries, springing up suddenly from every
quarter-areas, roofs, balconies, lamp
posts, cutters, lanes, passages, courts,
alleys, and thoroughfares. h,
They flew up the trees in the
squares, and scurried madly round the
crescents.
All their habits were nocturnal.

The Duty of a Woman to be q Lady.
Wildness is thing which girls can.
not afford. Delicacy ls thing which
cannot be lost and found. No art can
restore to the grape its bloom. Famil-

without regard, is destructive to all
that makes woman exalting and emo

"The world is wide. Thesis things are small ;
They may be nothing, but they are ALL"
Nothingp It is the first duty of a wo-

and aggressive coarseness of demeanor
may be reckoned as state prison Of

form of restraint called imprisonment
for life. It is shame for women to be
leotured on their manners. It is a bit
ter shame that they need it. Women
are the umpires of society. It is they
to whom all mooted points should be

is reverence. He loses o large means
