Caring for Cats.

Fish is great treat for cat; in
many cases Of illness they will eat this
when they can take nothing else.
Horse-fesh, when it can be had is good
occasionally, but il has laxative ten
dency. Nice tripe or cowheel is excel
lent; but indeed nothing comes amiss
that one eats ones self, only we must
be careful to give bread and vegetables
as well as meat. Raw beef minced
finely is often given to cats when ILL so
are boiled eggs and cream. Milk seems
to be one of the necessaries of life to
q cat; letit be good and abundant. Few
people know that cats cannot be kept
in health unless they be supplied with
water If cat does not get water she
will have to help herself to it. This in
the country she has generally chance
of doing, but not in towns. A saucer
should be always kept in corner for
pussy and the water ought to be fresh,
and fresh every morning. Another
without is grass. Herein, again, the

less, grass may be pulled for cat. /

bricks in the corner of the sculley
where 1t would keep fresh for week
and always be handy when the little
creatures wanted it. There is no domcs-
tic animal in our possession more
fond of cleanliness in every
way than puss. Habits of cleanliness
in the house are very easily taught; and
well-cared-for and properly treated
cat will even teach her kittens to be
cleanly. But pussy's food oughtalways
to be nice and clean, and the dish that
contains it should be washed every day.
Putting fresh food among that which
has been left from former meal is a
sure way of preventing cat from en-
joying, or even touching it. If well
fed, cats coat is beautifully soft,
thick and sheeny, and she seems to take
delight in keeping it so. When i'll or
neglected, the coat becomes rough and
thin. 1t is usually after meal that
puss sits down contentedly to wash her.

appearance; and those who breed beau
tiful cats take advantage of this and
give the animal tiny bit of butter
after her dinner, or put little
cream on her paws. She requires
no other incentive to cause her to
proceed forthwith to groom herself
all over. The oil of the butter and her
own saliva seem to form q kind of
soap, which acts like magic when ap-
piled by means of her rough tongue to
the coat. Sometimes cat requires to
be washed. The water should be luke
warm, the soap the mildest procurable,
and the towels with which she is dried
very soft; and after the operation she
ought to be puG into clean room until
thoroughly dry, or, what is better still,
placed in clean empty cage near the
fire. - Chambers Journal.

A Baflied BRIDEGROOM.

Aunt Targood' gander had been the
terror of many well-meaning people,
and of some evil-doers, for many years.
l have seen tramps and -peddlers
enter the gate, and start on toward the
door, when there would sound that
ringing warning like war-blast:
"Honk, honkn' and in few minutes
these unwelcome people would be gone.
Farmhouse boarders from the city
would sometimes enter the yard, think
ing to draw water by the old we'll
sweep; in few minutes it was custom
airy to hear shrieks, and to see women
and children flying over the walls, fol-
lowed by air-rending "nonksr' and
jubilant cackles from the victorious
gander and his admiring family.
Aunt Targood sometimes took sum
mer boarders. Among those that re-
member was Rev. Mr.. Bonney, fer
vent-souled Methodist preacher. He
put the gander to flight with the cart
whip, ON the second day after his az
rival, and seemingly to aunt's great
grief; but he never was troubled by the
feathered tyrant again.
Young couples sometimes came to

summer afternoon, there rode up to the
gate very young couple, whom we
afterward learned had run away" or,
rather had attempted to get married
without their parents approval. The
young bridegroom hitched the horse,
and helped from the carriage the gayly
dressed miss he expected to make his
wife. They started up the walk upon
the run, as though they expected to be
followed, and haste was necessary to
prevent the failure of their plans.
"Honk!"
They stopped. 1t was voice of
authority
"Just look at himr' said the bride.
"Oh! ohn'
The bridegroom cfied "Shoo!" but
he might as well have said '.Shoo' to n

with his head and neck upon the ground.
He seized the lad by the calf of his
leg, and made an immediate applica-
ton of his wings. The latter seemed
to think he had been attacked by drag
ons. AS soon as he could shake him
off he ran. So did the bride, but in an
other direction; and while tho two
were thus perplexed and discounted,
the brides father appeared in car.
riage, and gave her most forcible in.
vitation to ride home with him. She
accepted it without discussion. What
became of the bridegroom, or how the
matter ended we never knew.-Heze-

her full yield, as she is putting on flesh,

Female Doctors.

The plan for employing female doc
tors in India, one of the few thoroughly
sensible plans recently started by phil
anthropists, seems likely to be sue
cess. A sum of $4,000 has been raised
in Bombay to guarantee salaries for rtwo
or three years to English ladies-one of
them is Miss Pechey, M. D., most sue
cessful student, who fought through the
great Edinburgh fight-and 100000 to
start native hospital for women;
while in Madras four ladies have been
admitted to practice by the local medi-
cal college. One of these is that re-
markable woman, Mrs. Scharlieb, who
came to England to perfect her medical
education, and distanced all competi-
tors at the London University. Lastly,
Mr.. Rivers Thompson, Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor of Bengal, in q minute full of
clear sense and sympathy for native
suffering, has overriden the opposition
of the Council of the medical college
and ordered the admission of female
students, if qualified by general educa-
ton. The number of entrances is cer-
tain to be large, and in few years
each of the Three Presidencies will have
a staff of female doctors thoroughly
familiar with the language and inu@d
to the climate. They will reduce the
sum of human misery far more than a
dozen orders admitting lads with an
English veneer on them to positions for
which they are hopelessly disqualified.
We are glad to notice also that the new
doctors intend to make business of
their work, to claim fees from thosv
who can pay, and to earn if they can a
good income for themselves. One for
tune made by n woman as doctor in
Calcutta will keep the supply more
regular than any amount of philan-
thropy in individuals who after few
years die out.-London Spectator.

In music sweetcr than the world hath known

But your voice my heart would fill

Halls Journal OF Health, referring to

Consumption usually begins with a
slight, dry cough in the morning, then on
going to bed, getting more and more FREE

creasing debility, thinness OF flesh, short
ness of breath, and quickness of pulse. In
fatal cases its average course is about two
years; hence the Importance of arresting
the disease at as early a stage as possible,
and the sooner re tional means are employed
for this purpose the greater the chance of
success. Tho disease is owing to an irrita-
tion commencing in the throat and EXTEND

Fashionable COlOrs.

The great color this season is to be
red, not only poppy red and caroubier,
but also shade known as red copper,
or in French cuivre rouge. 1t is GU
rious fact that nowadays the new colors
the Atlantic, and during the summer
months there is Il great curiosity among
the manufacturers of all kinds of articles
to know what shades the Lyons dyers
are producing for the American market.
Last season the great color was mashed
strawberry, and no sooner was the
secret known at Limoges than Haviland
and other makers began their expert
ments to produce the fashionable tint in
porcelain.
But fashion i'm color does not limit its
influence to modern products; it has
also an influence in the curiosity mar
ket. / remember, for instance, last
spring one of the great Partisan de alers
in Oriental pottery relating to me visit
he received from an American.
"Have you got any mashed strawber-
ryP" said the American, coming into
the store.
"Yes," said the dealer, not having
the slightest idea what his visitor meant,
but conforming to his invariable rule OF
always professedly having everything
in stock Thereupon the dealer led the
visitor to a case full of porcelain.
"Ah! there is one," said the Ameri.
can, pointing to II little vase, and there.
by enlightening the dealer; "there is
one, but it is not fine. Have you got
any more?"
The dealer not knowing what mashed
strawberry meant hunted UP somt
other specimens, and this summer he
sold small amphora-shaped mashed
strawberry vase to Baltimore collector
for the modest sum of three thousand
dollars. A similar one was sold in Lon
don recently forfhree thousand six hun
dred dollars.
