Puss' Queer Pets.

A cat belonging to DR.. Phelps has
adopted a rat. Some weeks ago she
lost her kittens, and few days after
she was seen by the Doctor to be play
ing with half-grown rat. He sup
posed she was having frolic with it
preliminary to killing it, but was sur
prised to see her fondling the varmint
the next day and further observation
revealed the fact that she had taken
charge of its bringing up and educa-
tion. His ratship appeared to be we'll
pleased with the situation, played
with the cat, came at her cali, and
followed her about like a kitten.
Wednesday night the Doctor took the
rat away from her, and put into
basket, covering the basket with a
sieve. He wished to keep it at the
house to show, but during the night
the cat charged on the basket and
carried off her pet, and probably hid
it in the barn where she got it.
Some sneering and uncalled for COM
ments have been made about Mr..
Gladstone's ass npt on of the double
duties of First Lord of tue Ire i,ury and
Chancellor of tbe Exechequer. The first
position is little more than sinecure
inseparatie from the Premiership; the
latter is position for which Mr.. Glad
stones magnificent financial abilities pre-
eminently adapt him. No desire for the
"loayes and fish s" actu u,tes M. Glad
stone in thus undertaking dual duties.
He holds The seals OF both offices, it is
true, but, as on former occasion, he only
dra,os pay for one.
