Our Household Pets.

The custom of having household pets
among the lower animals is as old as the
human race or the domestic animals them
selves. They serve as interesting studies
in natural history; they are good object
lessons for children in thoughtful kindness
and patience and are safety valves for s,l.
perabundant affection. The dog ranks
first, probably because of his naturally de-
monstrative nature rather than his superior
intelligence to some other animals and
some birds The dog not only becomes an
actual member of the family, but too fire.
quently he becomes it's autocrat, governing
it with a rod of iron, making his own tastes
and convenience so paramount to other
considerations that he becomes a nuisance
to all but his doting mistress.
Tho cat is far less obtrusive in its man.
ners, and, the student of animals declares
no whit less intelligent or affectionate. 1t
isa quiet, self contained, little beast with
a shrewd lack of confidence in the inten
tions of it's human sponsors which reminds
one of the business mans maxim, "Believe
everybody liar till he has proved himself
otherwise" Integrity of motive can scarce
ly be proved to the permanent satisfaction
of a cat, but while there is no attempt al
departure from the usual routine Of life il
will display a superficial truthfulness and
affection really quite touching.-Philadel
