How One Pussy Laps Her Milk.

a Chicago druggist has pet cat.
About year ago it had three kittens,
and when they were old enough to lap,
the milk was poured into an old NOR
tar, and the heads of the three kittens
took up all the space there was. Sew
cral times the old cat tried to get her
nose into the mortar while her little
ones were feeding, but she found that
she would have to push one of the kit
tens aside if she did SO. One day, she
very carefully and slowly pushed her
paw between two of the kittens, touched
the milk gently, and then pulled out
her paw and licked the milk off. She
kept this up for some time, until the
habit grow upon her, and now that the
Kittens have become cats and cmigrat-
ed, She never laps the milk, always dip
