Cats.

The mystery of the cats character is
probably the cause of vulgar an.ipa-
thv, but this is due to ignorance. The
cat is not bound to furnish understand
ing in order TO avoid prejudice. It is
100 high minded to care. Many benev-
client persons, fearful of the multiplied
ton of the household cat, drown her
kittens. so, from limited trust in
Providence, many suppress populating.
Some elegant families take bag Of
kittens and distribute them in their
drives. If they would let the mother
cat alone she would provide for them
without such cruelty. A cat blessed
with large litter does not settle it on
the family. At n proper time she will
place her kittens among the neighbors,
showing great discernment by her choice
of places, and tn Y show great intelli-
gencc by remaining rs placed.
A society mother does not practice
more consideration in finding husbands
for her nine daughters than a mother
cat in finding situations for her nine
Kittens. She will return TO play with
each, and then leave it without any
movement on its part TO 90 back with
her. The mystery ana Supelnatul al
part of the cat are very interesting, but
its visible domestic qualities are admir-
able. Its mode>ty is exceptional among
animals. Its dignity, composure and
courage are wonderful. 1t will reposc
on the sidewalk, where at any moment
its enemy. the dog, may come along,
serene in its confidence in its ability to
take care of itself. Even little kittens
do this.
] he assumption is that the dog and
cat are natural enemies. The cat is
too high minded to be natural enemy
to any creature. such animals as it
hunts it hunts for food, in which it
shares the nobility of man; but it is con
tented to have. its food without this
trouble. The puppy and kitten brought
up together will eat out of the same dish
and VIII make a very Jolly family par
ty. Taking thought of their prolific
habit, not yet repreSsed by fashion, the
in uiry naturally arises, what becomes
of the cats, that they do not overrun.
Judging by their character, it may be
presumed that they go to the place pro-
vidcd for cats, where all is well with
them. - inciHndtj Commercials Ga@cttC.

How a Physician Managed to Obtain q

The following story serves to illus
trate the love of the French people for
the mysterious: \ short time ago a
Partisan doctor set UP an establishment
In the Faubourg Montmatrc. He as
sumed high-sounding name, furnished
his house in weird and fantastic fashion,
engaged solemn-looking and taciturn
servants, and announced that he could
only see patients after the hours of mid
night or in the gray dawn of the morn
ing. The effect was electrical. Every
wcak-m nded person, with maladies,
real or imaginary, tlOcked to the new
mcdicO, who soon began to reap a
golden harvest. At last the suspicious
OF the police were aroused. The COM
miSsary paid him personal visit, and
asked to see his diploma. To his sur
prise he finds out that not only had the
suspected individual taken good degrees
hut that he had graduated with the
highest honors at the Paris University.
just as he was taking his departure,
however, the doctor entreated him not
to let any one know of his high qualilica-
tons. The commisSary, with some sur
prise, asked him the reason of his de-
81 G to conceal so much intellectual
light under bushel. "Why, replied

large Cloaks.

The latest importations of cloaks arc
large garments that may well be called
upper dresses as they conceal the
drrss beneath them, and have most of
the new features of winter costumes;
thus, they are close and simply shaped
about the waist, the back of the skirt is
full and very bouffant on the tournure,
and the sleeves are full and set high on
the shoulders. no matter how they may
be shaped below. Two materials are
combined in these great cloakS, and two
.olorS in contrast appeal in them pre-
cisely as they do in rich dresses; for in
stance, green brocadcd velvet is used
for the skirt and sides of a cloak that
has bear-b"own plain velvet for the
middle of the front and back of the
waist; and this arrangement of mate
rails is repeated in many other cOlors,
such as old blue with seal brown, Titan
red velvet with black lace, and also
with many black brocadcd yelvcts in
which there are glimpses of red or yell
low woven in the fabric. Prunc-Color,
golden brown, and dull red are favori o
colors for rich cloaks that may he worn
alike in the day or evening. for it is no
longer a settled thing that a handsome
cloak for visiting, church and day Ie-
ceptiOns must be black. Velvet is the
chosen fabric for large wraps, and may
be either plain or brocadcd, and when
two fab les are used it is a matter of
taste whether two kinds of velvet are
employed or very heavily reppcd otto
man silk takes the place of one or 9TH

the entire cloak. a good deal of rich
trimming appears in passemente iC or

Moorish Jealousy.

Mr.. A. G. Heaton, whose return to

Moorish woman of the better class, and
he is one of the few painters who ever
induced Moorish lady to take off her
veil in the presence of a Frank. As for
their husbands, they would probably
murder on the spot any artist who ven
tured - ask for the permission to
portray their wife's features de rise A
striking example of this occurred TO
Heafon during his journey through Mo-
rocco. One of the grandees of the
country hearing of his skill as por-
traitist, sent for him, and asked him to
paint the portrait of his favorite wife.
whom he loved almost to madness, and
whose lineaments he wished to preserve
in case she died before him. He was
willing to pay any price for the picture,
if it was only a distant resemblance.
Eeaton said he should be but too happy
to execute the order for the mere salts
faction of pleasing his influential pa
iron. "Well, then, set to work at
once" said the great man, close no
time, and as soon as the portrait is fin
ished bring it to me-" "All right" said
the artist, "you have only to bring the
person to me and | will begin at once"
What exclaimed the Moor, wrath
fully, ''you have the presumption to
desire to look upon my wife?" ''How
can you expect me to paint a person l
