A Mystified Cat.

THE floor of the County Clerks Office
was day before yesterday covered with
carpet. This carpet is of fanciful pat
tern and in it are many high colors.
About the office is cat, raised in the
place, and stranger to anything but
naked floors. After the upholsterer had
finished his work the feline, "Maggie''
by name, came from the office of the
County Auditor, Sheriff, or some other
room about the Court House, and, crying
at the door, Mr.. Thompson, the County
Clerk, went and let her in. Upon the
door being opened Maggie was about to
walk in as usual, when her eyes fell upon
the carpet. She instantly stopped and
gazed upon it as though petrified with as
tonishment. All the coaxing and petting
that could be done failed to induce the
cat to put her feet upon the carpet. She
would smell of it, and if hair tickled
the end of her nose would spring back,
shake her head and prepare to elevate her
back and thicken her tail. AT last she
was caught and carried to the center of
the room, and, after being soothed till
quiet was gently placed upon the carpet
AT first she was afraid to move, but pres
emily began slowly to walk about, smell
ing at the flowers in the pattern and STEP
ping high, like horse with the string
halt, and whirling about with frightened
look whenever the claws of her hind feet
caught in the thread of the fabric. AT
length she got the better Of her fears and
began to examine the situation more criti-
cally. In the pattern of the carpet, at in
tervals of about four feet in all directions,
is large figure of bright scarlet color
After cautiously smelling one of these
spots, the cat lay down upon it and rolled
over and over, displaying much pleasure:
She then went to the next red spot and
rolled upon it, and so on all over the
whole room, selecting the bright red spots
and rolling upon them till thoroughly
tired out. She paid no attention to any
color but red, though there are in the pat
tern of the carpet several other bright
colors of various kinds. Thus 1t would
seem that while red enrages the bulls,
turkey cocks, etc, it is color with which
cats are delighted. Virginia CITY Enter

A METHOD employed in Germany TO
keep rosebuds fresh consists in first cover
ing the end of the recently-cut stem with
wax, and then placing each one in closed
paper cap or cone, SO that the leaves do
not touch the paper. The cap is then
coated with glue to exclude air, dust and
moisture, and when dry it is stood up in
cool place. When wanted for use the
bud is taken out of the cap and placed in
water, after cutting off the end, when the
rose will bloom in a few hours.
THE other day bright little boy, son
of one of the clerks in the Hartford Post
office, was visiting in Norwich. A theat-
rical company had been giving perform
ance in the city, and one of the actors,
being a friend of the family, was stopping
with them. The little boys lively ways
pleased the actor considerably, and he re-
marked, in stage parlance: " wish 1 had
this little boy; think there's money in
him" To which promptly responded the
child: "I know there is, for swallowed
a cent when l was at grandma's the other
day.n
