attention to the singular fact that there
is no provision for the notification to a
president of his election, and that he
takes cognizance Of the fact by general

the news, however.

Toby.

Toby is the funniest cat you ever saw. He
is as large as two cats ought to be, a beautiful
notified color, black and yellow and white.
He thinks Toby is just tho best cat in the
whole world; you can tell that by the stately
way in which he walks, and he never plays.
He will watch tho kittens rolling over and
over on the carpet, and at last look up at me
and new, as ii to say:
"Justsce those foolish childreni Wouldn't
be half as silIyas they are for a great deal"
He used to open the cellar door whenever
he was hungry, and do d very naughty thing
Yes, Toby, stately as he was, would steal
milk and cream whenever he could get to the
milk cellar. He liked that better than he
liked rats and mice, but he doesn't do so ana
more. Oh, no he has found an custer and
more honorable way to get his milk.
When milking time comes he knows it as
well as John does, and will follow him to the
ward when he sees him take the milk-pail.
Henever follows him when he goes for water.
and he seldom makes a mistake in the right
time. When John sits down to milk he sits
down by his side.
IfJohn notices him, it is all right. If not,

it on his arm, and sticking his sharp claws
in carefully, he will pull. his sleeve very
gently, to attract attention.
Then John generally gives him what heis
asking for, for if he doesn't the sharp claws
ale suddenly driven through the sleeve into
his arm. Toby doesn't like to be sighted
He sits near the pail and opens his mouth for
John to stream into it the warm, sweet IN TX.
That's the way he gets his supper now and

degrees Of heat and cold that would prove
fatal to the greater part OF ordinary house
plants.
A pretty way to arrange the Wandering
Jew, is to plant a few OF the vines in two
flower pots, and set one at each end OF {
shelf over a window, as in the illustration
OF course, when planted in earth the vines
will need to be watered. the same as any
other plant. Another way of arranging then
which has proved very effective, is to I'LL 6
commo glass bottle with water, and aftei
placing the vines in it, hang the bottle in the
window by u string tied around its neck, ano
attached by a loop to a small hook or tack II
the center OF the window frame.
The same paper says the English ivy isl
very accommodating plant for such purpose:
and very ornamental as well it will grow
beautifully in almosta any situation, and bears
neglect and the extremes of heat and cold
drought and moisture, moro patiently ane
uncomplainingly than any other plant VT
know.
In place of a silken scarf, so often seer
ieoped over n picture-frame, we can have &
living and growing drapery of ivy leaves
which Is always pretty and attractive, pro
vided ordinary care is taken to keep the
leaves free from dust.
To arrange the vine IN this manner, TAXI
two glass bottles, those with large necks ane
mouths, like the small bottles used fol
pickles, are the best, fill them with water
and place a few vines in each bottle, then fas'
ten a narrow strip of strong cloth around thu
neck Of each bottle, leaving the end of The
cloth long enough to allow of its being Sc.
curely tucked to the back Of the picture
frame.
Fastcn a bottle on each side of the picture
frame near tho top, so that the vine may
tHine Itself around the wire used in hanging
the picture.
By covering the walls with strong string
for the ivy to run over, graceful vine drap'
cry may be formed.

Many persons believe that Il parrot has
reasoning powers. We have handled parrots
for years, and carefully studied their habits
but have never yet been convinced that there
is u particle OF reason in all their talk. We
have heard them say cit rains" when il
really was raining, and then again the same
expression would be used when the sun was
shining. ''Polly wants a cracker Is q com.
mon thing for he bird to say, and
yet Polly often calls for a cracker
when it wants a drink Of water. Many
s%tories and cute sayings are attributed to
pretty Pol" some of which are true, no
doubt, but the majority are fancied. Polly
can be taught to say a variety of things. The

his father, and his attention was called to this
fact, whereupon he said he had a suggestion
he would like TO make. Upon being given
paper and pencil, he made the accompanying
diagram after a few minutes thought, stat
ing that the stocl lars could be arranged 10
form either squares or rectangular ties. 1t
was tlren explained to hin by the manager
that it would be necessary to provide some
means of retaining the bars in pcsition, as the
mouIds had to be subjected to a heavy n.y.
draulic pressure, which would separate
them, unless they were fastened securely
in place. Ho then suggested backing the
bars with plates as shown, which should be
provided with holes, enabling them to be
screwed firmly to the table, which should be
provided with corresponding holes. In this
way a solid form was provided, which could
DO used as a universal mould for tiles OF
various sizes and shapes. The idea was a
good one, and reflects much credit for origin
atty upon its youthful inventor.
