A resident of a western city says:
"My next door neighbors last winter
were well-to-do family. 1t was the
custom of the hired girl to place as
ket out at the back door, with plate
in it, every night, and at an early hour
in the morning, generally before any
one was up about the place, the baker
would leave dozen steaming hot rolls
in the basket for the morning meal.
During that terribly cold weather / was
looking out of my window, and saw the
baker put the rolls in the basket. No
sooner had he got out of the gate than
cat darted out of shed, and jumped
into the basket spread itself over the
hot rolls, and was soon enjoying nice
nap. When the girl arose and started
to open the door, the cat ieaped out and
disappeared from view. After that |,
of course, watched, and for weeks the
cat warmed herself over the rolls as reg
ularly as the day came. The family were
rolls tasted just as good to them as if
pussy hadn't roasted on them.
The much abused cat has now a
strong champion in a certain widow who
lives on Welton street. The other night
she heard some one tampering with her
kitchen window, which is situated di-
rectly beneath her bedroom window.
She did not wish to alarm any of the
other sleepers in the house, and yet she
did not wish to have the robber steal
what siIverware she had in her
house. Finally she very quietly raised
her bedroom window, and taking her
house cat by the back let him drop on
the head and shoulders of the would-be
burglar. In an instant there was an un-
merciful yell, and the burglar and cat
disappeared around the corner and went
down Welton street at q terrible rate.
She has not seen her cat since.-Colora-

the Suez canal when the barriers which
had kept out the water of the Mediter-

removed. But if we can Judge from
what is observed in the case of Niagara,
may be regarded as letting out the wa
tiers of Lake Erie into Lake Ontario.
Considering the limited amount Of wor)
done in this way by Niagara, and the
disturbance and uproar accompanying
that work, one is disposed to await with
interest the effect of letting the waters
