One Cat on the Head of Another.

A relative of mine residing near the
Blue Hills has developed a mania for
cats. He is possessed of sixteen cats Of
all ages and sizes. Being on visit to
him last week and conversing v til him
in the kitchen, I heard rattlny Of the
lath of the door leading to the cellar.
Surprising some one was in the cellar
who wanted TO get out and colld not
readily find the latch, l opened the dool
myself. and there sat grave and sedate
old cat on the landing, and standing
on her head wss a half-grown cat,
steadying herself by the frame of the
door with one paw. and with the other
striking the thumb-piece of the latch
with the. evident intention of opening
the door. Finding the door open, they
gravcly walked in and seated themselves
in the family circle.
do these eats ever open the door in
that way?" l asked in great astonish,
ment
'.Oh, yes; we've left a pane OF glass
out in the cellar window, and when iii.
cats are tired of staying outside they
come up the cellar stairs and open the
door for themselves; it saves us the
trouble"
.'Did you teach them how to do it?"
.'Oh. no; they found out the way
themselves. ~. A. w.

After four or five false alarms the

they all kiss the old lady, and then
