Sacramento (Cal.) Union: A resident of
Sacramento county, who has peculiar fac
ulty for training animals, has educated three
cats to serve the purpose of dogs, as retriev-
ers. When he takes up his gun and calls
them from the house, they follow with
grand rush, mewing and whining excitedly.
When bird is shot they enter upon the
liveliest kind of race to retrieve it, and if
it is not in sight, hunt the ground thorough
ly, never emitting to slap at one another
viciously whenever they come within reach
ing distance. No matter which Of the trio
finds the bird, the carrying to the shooter is
generally done by patriarchial Thomas,
who "plays roots" upon the others very
cunningly, and scratches and bites if one of
the other cats gets the game first and does
not surrender it on demand. He carries the
bird to his master, and stands guard over it
until it is taken from him and bagged.
San Francisco alta: We are satisfied that
cats generally could be trained, not only as
retrievers, but also to catch game for their
masters. A lady of this city, when living
in the country several years since, seeing hei
cat bring a quail to her kittens, took it from
her, caressed her, and gave her piece o.
fresh beef. The cat understanding ther
for the first time that her mistress wanted
quail, brought one to her the next day, anC
| freqeutly afterward, once three in one day
Previously she had caught them for .hersel
or her kittens. 1t is well known that cat
are expert bird-crtchers, and the question
whether their skill cannot be used for tn
benefit of their masters deserving attention

aItis difficult, says Belgian journal, to dis
tinguish between iron and steel tools. They
have the same polish and workmanship
use will commonly alone show the differ
ence. To make the distinction quickly,
place the tool upon stone and drop upon it
some diluted nitric acid -four parts of water
to one of acid). If the tool remains clean it
is of iron; if of steel it will show black
spot where touched by the acid. These spots
can be easily rubbed of.

DEATH OF Plus IN.

Pope Plus TX, whose death is an.
nounced, was born on the 18th May,
1892. He had therefore almost COM
pleted his eighty-sixth year. He
began his ecclesiastical studies at an
early age, went to Rome in 1903 and
pursued them there, and received
holy orders in 1918. In 1923 he Wis
tied South America, spent nearly
two years in Chill and considerable
time in Buenos Ayres, where he la
bored with great zeal and effect in
the intrests of the church, and then
returned to Rome. He was created
archbishop of Spoleto in 1927, and a
cardinal in 1910. On the death of
Pope Gregory XVI, the conclave
chose him pope June, 16, 1916, after q
session of AZ hours, and the next day
he was proclaimed under the title of
Plus TX. He was benevolent char
acter; and the political complications
that surrounded him during the whole
period of his occupancy Of the chair
Of St. Peter, and the manner in which
he bore himself under the difficulties
of his situation, gained for him unus-
ual admiration and affection from
Catholics throughout the world. His
death though not unexpected, will
be greatly incurred.
