The Domestic Cat.

From L~ongman's Magazine.
The house cat is a four-legged quad
ruped, the legs as usual being at the
corners. 1t is sometimes called atame
animal, though it feeds on mice and
birds of prey. It's colors are striped,
tortus-shell, black, also black and
white, and uthers. When it is happy
it does not bark, but breathes through
its nose instead of its mouth, but l
can't remember the name they call
the noise. 1t is a little word, but can't
think Of it,. and it is wrong to copy:
Cats also NOW, which you have all
herd. When you stroke this tame
quadruped by drawing your hand
along the back, it cocks up its tail
like a ruler, so as you can't get no
further. Neyerstroke the hairs acrost,
as it makes all cats scrat like mad. Its
tail is about two foot long, and its
legs about one each. Never stroke a
cat under the belly, as it very un
helthy. Don't teeze cats, for, firstly it
is wrong so to do, and I'd, cats have
clawses which is longer than people
think. Cats have 8 liveses, but which
is seldom required in this country
cause of Christianity. Men cats are
allus called Tom, and girl cats Puss
or Tiss; but, queer as you may think,
all cats are kittens, which is a wrong
name which oughter be changed.
This tame quadruped can see in the
dark, SO rats stand no chants, much
less mice. Girls fear rats, even mice.

Corn Meal wames.

Put a pint of boiling water into a
saucepan and stir into it sufficient dry
corn meal about two-thirds of a cup
fu1) to make a mush. Lift the corn
meal in your left hand allow it to
pass slowly between the fingers into
the water, while you stir quickly with
the right hand. Let the mush cook
slowly for twenty minutes then add
two ounces of butter, and a dessert
spoonful of salt, and stand aside to
cool. When cold, separate four eggs
add the yelks to the mush then add a
half pint of buttermilk or sour cream.
Now stir in gradually sufficient -four,
about one pint, to make a thinnish
batter. Dissolve a half teaspoonful of
bicarbonate of soda in a tablespoonful
of boiling water, and add it to the
batter. Stir in quicklythe wellbeaten
whites of the eggs, and they are ready
to bake.

If this lovely weather holds out
there is no doubt but The SUNDAY
MORNING NEWS will beat the record
tomorrow. Fine outing days are fine
newspaper days. Every n feels
pleasant, there is no rain or cold to
run away from, and n can stop long
enough on the way home from church
to buy ones favorite paper without
the risk of pneumonia.
1t is in fact a maxim among pub
fishers and newsdealers that a fine
day makes big s~alsss4e
Besides the prospect of a fine day,
we offer features of unusual attract
iveness to our readers.
The interview with Mark Twain on
his Washington experiences by w. A.
Croffut is one of great general interest.
The genial humorist discourses in his

our article on ssuiimlme charities,
too, will be of special local Importance
both to rich and poor. Jersey City,
it is to be feared, is rather behind it's
neighbors in charitable efforts. This
is not as it should be. There are few
places where assured wealth and
lamentable poverty are SO
nearly in juxtaposition. One
might say, almost, that
monumental wretchedness may be
found Just around the corner from the
fashionable centre of Van Worst Park.
From the article that we will publish
tomorrow, the charitably disposed
may learn both what has been done
in the past and what it is possible to
do, judging from the examples of other
cities.
Ofcourse, our usual standing feat
ures. Of fashion. church, society,
sporting, theatrical, and literary news
viii be as strong as usual. The con
tinuation of David the Harper, a
charming story Of WEIGH life, will be
given, and all the news of the day will
have full scope. I.a9
Under the circumstance we hope to
outdo all previous records in the way
of circulation. We draw the attention
of u advertising patrons to the fact,
and we trust that during the coming
week they will reap their share of the
advantages which we count on for
ourselves.

"Who snail decide, when doctors
disagreed"
And when one real estate mann says
that the price of the park sites is rob
berry, while another claims that 1t is
moderation itself, how is the average
citizen going to form a reasonable
opinion.
There is perhaps guide which
may serve in a general way to steer
the explorer in the direction of truth,
that is the relation between the price
and the assessed valuation of the
properties for the purpose of taxation
Boards of Assessors are well abused
bodies, and perhaps they deserve a
good deal of the condemnation that
has been lavished upon them. But
their most determined enemy never
accused them of over assessing big
property owners. If they have a fault
it is apt to lie in the other direction
1t is tolerably safe to assume then
that the assessed valuations OF the
proposed park sites are considerably
less than the market value of the
land. The only alternative would APP
pear to be to adopt the theory that
they had been specially assessed with
a view to extorting q high price from
the county. This theory, it may as
well be said at once, is wholly incredi-
BILE.
But it so happens that the prices
are as a rule pretty close to the valu-
ations. In n ease there is a differ
ence of $43, 900. That's is a big sum of
money; but the difference would,
doubtless, be accounted for by the
owner of the land throughthe represent
tation that his assessment was only
about 10 per cent. of the selling value
Of his property. Whether his de-
mands can be scaled down remains to
be seen.
One feature of the whole business is
at least satisfactory, and that is the
character and work of the Commission.
Everyone feels confident that the
gentlemen who have the matter in
hand will consider the public interest
alone in forming their final con
illusions. That their conclusions will
be judicious must be inferred from
the admirable work they have already
done.
We commend to the attention of the
Commissioners the interviews which
we give in another column, as q mine
of valuable information on the dis
puted questions.
