A Boys Essay ON tho Cat
Mr.. H. T. Barker, in his amusing papers
on schools and education gives the follow

ing essay as authentic
''The Cat.-The house cat is fonrlegged
quadruped, the legs as usual being ut the
corners. 1t is what is sometimes called
tame animal. though it leeds on mice and
other birds of prey. Its colors are striped
tortusshell, black, also black and white,
and utiers. When it is happy it does moi
bark, but breathes through its nose instead
of its mouth, but l cant remember the
name they call the noise. It is little word,
but cant think of it, and l. is wrong to
copy. Cats also NOV. which you have AL
heard. When yon stroke this tame quad.
rnped by drawing your hand along its
back, it cocks up its tale like ruler. so as
you cant get 10 further. Never stroke the
hairs acrosts as it makes all cats scrat like
mad. Its tail is abnut too loot long, and
its legs about one each. Never strike cal
under the belly, as it is very unhelthv.
Don't teeze cats for firstly it is wrong so
to do, and End, cats have clawses which is
longer than people think. Cats have 8
liveses but which is seldom required in this
country because of Christianity. Men cats
are ailus called Tom, and girl cats Fuss or
Tiss, but, queer as you may think sll little
CATS are called kittens; which is q wrong
name which oughter to be changed. This
tame quadruped can see in the dark, 80 rats
stand no chants, much less mice.
