1ngelow, whose poetry is so familiar
to American readers. The house is an
old one OF cream-colored stone, and
one scarcely knows whether it has two
or three stories Liberal grounds sur
round the house. and even in winter
show gardeners care. In summer
the entire lawn is bordered and dotted
with flowers, for the poet is a pro-
nOunced horticulturist. During the
cold weather spacious conservatory
attached to tho house shelters the
flowers. and in this hOthouse of
palms and buds she is often
found by her friends reading or
writing. Flowers. bloom. too. in almost

always in reach wherever you may
chance to sit down.
The poet is now in middle life. but
her face shows not the slightest trace
of years Her manner is most friend
ly, her conversation charming. and she
has most musical voice. She enjoys
IA remarkably correct knowledge OF
American literature. the titles of the
latest American books being spoken by
her with wonderful nuency. Her
character Is emipently practical with
out touch OF sentimentality. All her
literary writing is done in the fore

her verses are often kept by her for
months mt IL time before they are al

shups society. and the most severe
part OF the winter Is spent in the

A CATS sAoAClTY
The Koene Delight Taken by It IN the
Killing of n Yearltng.

The Koenc Delight Taken by It In ths
KILLING of n Yearling.
Speaking OF intelligent cats, we
owed one when we were camped on
tho Big Sandy river who knew thing
or two. The Doctor was not hand
some; none Of us thought that, but In
country where one saw only Indians
and coyotes week in and week out, 0
cat was good companion for II man
who had to watch the camp when the
others were away with the cattle.
The most noticeable thing about the
Doctor at first blush was his face and
his eyes. There was white spot
over one eye and half OF his face which
made him look like n bald-faced
horse. To add to the odd effect
caused by this blotch, the Doctors
eyes were OF different colors. Ono
was green and the other u sort o.
brown. But IL the Doctor was moi
noted for his beauty he was much re-
spected on the Big Sandy. and no little
consideration was shown him in look
ing after his wants. 1t is certain that
as far as provisions went he always
Jared better than any man In the
camp.
II there was one thing which the
Doctor and the rest of us took lively
interest in, it was the killing of year.
ling to get fresh meat. 1t may be
supposed that fresh meat was not
scarce In cattle camp, but this was
not true. 1t was not often that the
few men who watched the herd found
time to do any slaughtering So when
1t was decided to kill yearling there
was an unusual stir of interest among
the men.
The Doctor in short time got to
know 80 much about this operation
that Mt the first sign of preparation he
gave expression to the widest glee.
AS soon as one of the men began to
sharpen his knife the Doctor climbed
fence post and on top of it began a
series of crazy antics. He raised his
back, with hair standing up like por-
cupine quilts. and howled until the
men started to lassoo n yearling. Then
the Doctor became four-legged fiend.
With wild scream he leaped from the
post and ran before the horses, tum-
bling over and over, clawing at the
ground and tangling himself up with
the horses feet.
But when the yearling was caught
the Doctor became still more violent,
and his actions were simply demoni-
acal. Not till the yenrling was killed
did he become calm, and then the con-
trast was startling. He walked around
the ..rostrate animal with an air of the
keenest delight, always ending his
celebration by leaping lightly to its
back and sitting there. purring softly
and looking contentcd with the world
and every thing on its surface.-N. Y.

THE ENGLISH MAruer.

A Couple OF Advantages she Possesses
over the American Girl.
Two points OF advantage the English
girl possesses over the American girl,
and these are precisely the qualities
TINT particularly appeal to men; she
is more romantic and more submissive.
While rs full Of sentiment as the ideal
love letters tied with blue ribbon, she
still regards man us her lord and mas
ter. She rarely dreams of disputing
the supremacy Of husband. father, or
even brother. and her privilege and
pleasure Is to minister unto them. She
Is so nffectionate In her home circle
that the average man has only
to be admitted there to straight
way fall head over heels In
love with n girl who worships her
brother, is forever kissing her fond
father, and disputes with her sisters
the honor and the delight OF warming
the paternal slippers. Even when Of

other girls in the cotillion" No matter
to what advantage she may appear in
