The Cats of Paris.

We are promised a cat show in Paris.
This will not, perhaps. be SO interesting
as a baby show, but it will be o novelty
here. The Parisians like cats, and, as
everybody knows, they have a highly dis
tinguished breed. Their long fur, bushy
tails and aIaiable faces have made them
celebrated us French cats" although in
reality they claim Oriental descent. At
all times in favor here, they were chiefly
appreciated during the siege, although
the quantity of meat in proportion to fur
was often disappointing. A good cat Of
steady habits-the profiigate animals are
always lean-was worth twenty francs or
more q few days before the capitalization.
If some old ladies had not chung to their
cats with great determination, and checked
their rowing impulses, they would doubt
less have been all eaten.
Intelligence in cats grows in inverse
ratio to fur. The long furred animals are
sleepy and stupid, the short furred ones,
with tails like rats, are active, wide
awake and exceedingly enterprising.
These last arc known by the name ii
gutter rabbits" in Paris. Perched on
the roofs, safe from all stone throwers,
they hail the coming of spring with jocund
music, and when they roam the streets of
night they make the rats lives q burden
to them. Yet, with all their claims to
consideration, tho gutter rabbits will
have no place in the exhibition.-Cor.

thickest part of the hair before the mi

Judgment | could form, more than a
hundred of such threads placed side by
side could not equal the diameter of ono
such hair. If, then, we suppose such a
hair to be of a round form, it follows that
