Why We Call the Cat "Pusa."
[Harper's YOUNG PeOple. J

Do you ever think why we call the cat
''pussN A great many years ago the people
of Egypt worshiped the cat. They Thoughts
the cat was like the moon, because she was
more active at night and because her eye,
change just as the moon changes, which is
sometimes full and sometimes bright little
crescent, or half moon, as we say. Did you
ever notice pussy's eyes to see how they
,hange! So these people made an idol with
4 cats head and named it Pasht, the same
nnme they give to the moon, for the word
means the face of the moon. That word has
oeen changed to pas, or puss, the name
which nearly everyone gives to the cat Puss
md pussy cat are pet names for kitty every
where. But few people know that it was
given to bsr thousands Of years ago.

FARM zGARD.EN|


One of the things that should never be
wanting to the farmers table in the spring is
rhubarb, OF pie-plant sauce, 1t is the earliest
green food that comes, excepting greens.
It's pleasant, acid flavor is medicinal to the
blood, starting into new life the currents
that have grown sluggish with the torpid
cold and the eating of concentrated foods
through the winter. In the city markets it
has already appeared, the plants having been
forced in greenhouses, and it commands good
prices and is thought highly Of 1t takes con-
siderable sugar in the cooking, but even then
it pays for pies and sauce. If you have al
ready bed of it. remove the covering and
hoe around the plants lightly this month. II
the clumps Of plants are large and thlckly
grown, separate them and replant. 1t gives
new life and growth Twenty to twenty-five
plants will be a large enough bed for an
average family. Cut away flower stalks as
soon as they appear.
If you have not already pic-plant bed,
make one this month. We shall tell you
now Here is an illustration of the LIN
naus rhubarb which is one Of the best
varieties:

where else. AS soon rs the crop Of fruit Is
picked from the old one, he plows up the
ground and sows it in buckwheat, Hungarian
grass or fodder corn. In that way he gets
three crops from the ground in two years.
VARIETIES.
Besides the Henderson, already mentioned,
there are several other choice new kinds that
are quite taking the place of the old ones,
even the favorite though sour Wilson. The
Kentucky Isl very excellent berry. 1t ripens
a little later than the rest, and is especially
valuable in prolonging the strawberry sea-
SON. Then there is the Crescent seedling
said to be the perfection of a fruit, the larg-
est producing strawberry known. 1t is,
however, all imperfectly Powered plant, and
will need to be planted alongside of some
other kind that the blossoms may he ferul-
lied and make fruit. The old Iron Clad is
the best variety to plant with it, three rows
of Crescent and one of Iron Clad. Yet an
other choice berry is the Manchester The
fruit l. even larger than the Crescent The
MancLt ster is likewise an imperfectly flower
ing kind, and should be planted with the
Cumberland Triumph. But everybody must
try these and other varieties for himself, and
settle down on the kinds that do the best
with him.

EAo heard her master say that to the pso-
pie srs:' morning when they stood together
just beiO'. they kneeled to pray. She thought
it was the proper time for the devout obser-
walton.
Baron Cuvier, who studied birds and
animals all his life, decided that the parrot
could not reason, but only repeated by note
what it had heard. He was certainly mistaken.
The parrot stories we give our boys and girls
In this column prove beyond doubt that
Polly can follow out a chain of thought and
come to conclusion that is satisfactory to
herself, at any rate.
Here is another anecdote quite rs good: A
parrot belonging to an English gentleman
was taken out of his room because it dis
turbed him while he was i'll. The cage was
hung in the kitchen. While there the thiev-
ish bird one day stole some raisins from q
pudding. The cook was very angry and
threw some hot grease upon Polly's head.
The parrot did not forget the punishment, rs
was plainly shown by and by. Her master
had been SO sick that it was necessary to
shave his head. When he recovered his pet
was taken back to his room. She looked at
his shaven head a moment in great aStOniSh-
ment, and appeared thinking Then she
said slowly:
"You bald-headed rutfian! You stole the
cooks raisins.n
The gray parrot is very intelligent. A
bird owner placed one of these alongside a
young Amazon parrot. The gray one taught
the other to talk. If the pupil did not pro-
nounce the words correctly the gray would
turn away contemptuously and exclaim:
"Blockheadn Nobody need say that bird
did not know what it was talking about.
Yet one more parrot story. bird of the
gray species was kept in a children's nursery.
She became fond of the little ones just as q
sensible human being would have done. Her
greatest delight was to see the pretty little
baby bathed. She showed very good tasts
there, too The child became sick, at length,
and Polly was banished to the kitchen, like
all unfortunate parrots when they are in the
way. She watched everything there with
her bright little eyes, and thought out her
wise bird thoughts all to herself. One day
the family were startled by terrible scream
from the parrot. They heard her cry: THE
baby The dear baby" In Albright they
ran to the kitchen The parrot was watch
ing in the widest excitement the roasting of
young pig before the tir&. She thought
the pig was the baby.
