The mewing of the cat is always the

tions it expresses | had kitten whose
gambols and liveliness entertained me
greatly. | understood well, when it came
up to me mewing, what the sound meant.
Sometimes the kitten wanted to come up
and sleep in my lap; at other times it was
asking me to play with it, When, at my
meals, it jumped on my knees, turned
round, looked at me and spoke in coax
ing way, it was asking for something to
eat. When its mother came up with a
mouse in her jaws, her muffled and low
toned NEW informed the little one from a
distance and caused it to spring and run
up to the game that was brought to it..
The cry is always the same, but varied in
the strength of the infections and in it's
protraction, so as to represent the various
states of mind with which my young ami
NAL is moved. These facts are probably
well known to all observers of animals. -

A Suggestion Concerning Late Dinners


If we could all see that amusements, thai
society, the frequent intercourse of friend
ships, the intellectual meetings of minds
are as important to the human well being
as any other cultivation, or as any earthly
acquisition, we should be willing to set
apart some time for society as its due.
Now, how is it? We give up the day to
two things work and eating-even the lat
ter not being SO much enjoyed as it should
be for want of time. The claims of society
are crowded into the flag end of the even
ing. People, by that time, are not in very
good trim for society, and especially for
another meal. They have little life to
give to company, and if, in response to
the tender hospitality, they go to a friends
house and eat fourth meal, they do so
with little enjoyment and at the expense
of health. All this might be changed with
out violence to our business or to our rea-
sonable customs.
Take the case of evening parties. In
stead of calling them at late hours, in win
ter, say, let them be held not later than
O'Clock. Let the supper or dinner, as the
case may be, be served as soon as the guests
arrive so that it would take the place of a
regular meal. This would only require
men and women to abandon their usual
avocations an hour earlier than usual. In
a word, to take into account social life as a
necessity. Assembling at 9, the company
could disperse at about the usual time now
of gathering together. There are few peo-
pie who will not agree that this would be a
sensible practice. York Ledger.
