MEERKATS IN THE KARROO.
They Make Interesting Pets When
Tanned and Kept in the Family.

Tanned and Kept in the Family.
The meerkat of South Africa re-
sembles in it's habits and characteristics
the prairie dog of America, but it is
much more cunning and intelligent and
makes a charming pet, being easily
tanned. In the South African karroo
the meerkat lives in little colonies like
the prairie dog, and travellers driving
through the veldt will come across
families of them sitting upright in the
sun and maintaining their positions
until they were approached quite close
ly, when they scatter like mice and
run into their holes. They are very
pretty, bright-eyed, nimble little Great
ures, soft and furry, easily tanned and
very fond of their captors. They are so
quantity made and marked that one
entertains the idea that they have been
sewed into their skins by hand, and the
curious seam which extends their entire
length, and the neat way in which their
dainty claws and small feet and ears are
finished off, adds to this process of
imagination. They are very fond Of
dogs, of whom even the largest they are
not afraid, and the tame meerkat in
variably chooses for soft pillow the
in the family, and burrows in the warm
coat with great satisfaction They love
the sun and may be seen early in the
morning, turned towards it, sitting up
in their peculiar manner and blink
ing with satisfaction as they feel. the
warm rays enveloping them.
The meerkat follows it's owner when
adopted, much as a faithful dog does,
and is a more picturesque object. 1t is
full of tricks, steals boldly anything it
wants, and is brimful ofmischiet Then,
when it is scolded for it's naughtiness, it
sits up and begs forgiveness in such
funny attitude of mock humility, that the
rogue is at once taken into favor and
caressed like a naughty child.
These little creatures have a natural
faculty of changing into different shapes
and postures with lightning-like ra-
pidity. At one moment the meerkat is
quite a formidable animal, sitting up and
Then it is as soft and timber as a bag of
feathers, stretched out on the ground,
and it can curl itself into a ball and roll
into corner, where it's bits of ears and
clusters Of feet resemble the ornaments
on some decorative object. Indeed, to
look pretty and beguile it's owners with
its mimic ways seems to be it's sole OBJ
.ject in life.
Occasionally docile and apparently
happy tame meerkat will suddenly 90
back to it's wild life, which it can never
again be induced to leave, not even by
it's chosen playmates, the dogs, with
which it has been happily associated.
Many of these little animals are taken
to England by travellers, and domiciled
among other household pets, where they
are regarded as objects of curiosity and
made much of in consequence, for no
matter how many larger or older pets
may be in the family, the lordly meerkat
at once assumes and keeps the egotisti
cal attitude of a spoiled child.

We quite agree with the woman
who. says that until the men give up
making themselves obnoxious at the
theaters and operas, by going out be-
tween the acts, it is hardly worth
while for them to talk about the high
hat worn by the women. If there is
one thing that is a trifle more annoy
ing than another at such places, it is
to be obliged to rise and permit to
pass out and in, the procession Of
men who regard this as an inalienable
privilege. Many of them have not
even the grace to return before the
next act has begun, thus doubly an
noying, not only those by whom they
pass but all around them.

Shrinking Thread.

There are few things more trouble
some to the laundress than garments
in which there are quantities of fine
tucking. The reason of this is that
the thread with which the stitching
is done shrinks and draws the seam
until only the greatest outlay of
strength can straighten it.
This difficulty may be almost en-
tirely overcome by shrinking the
thread. To do this it is necessary to
wind the thread into skeins. These
are to be thrown into boiling suds,
allowed to remain for few minutes,
then taken out and dropped into cold
water and thoroughly rinsed. They
should be dried before winding. If
there is any trouble about the thread
working on the machine this may be
prevented by holding in the fingers a
bit of wax candle or piece of cas-
tile soap while winding the thread.
Allow the thread to run over the wax
and it will get sufficient consistency
to run smoothly. 1t is not generally
understood that very finely powdered
soap scattered over stiff cloth with
dressing will make the stitching much
more even, and is less likely to cut
the cloth.
There are few more attractive trim
mings for undergarments than tucks
or groups of tucks, but the difficulty
of laundering them has always stood
more or less in the way of their use.
Hand-run tucks are not troublesome
to do and are always pretty. If the
thread is shrunk, then used on new
cloth, there will be little if any draw
ing of seams, even until the garment
is entirely worn out.

AN Indianapolis man has eloped
with his mother-in-law. The deserted
wife tells remarkable story of the
carvings on Of the departed couple.
She says they were most affectionate,
and made no bones of kissing each
other in her presence. 1t seems very
hard for the mother-in-law so to con.
duct herself as to become an unalloyed
blessing. The husband gets into
trouble at home for treating her
affectionately, and if he takes her to
his heart he is in danger of OVERRIDING
the matter.

TrincS.

There are many little things in the
household, attention to which is in
dispensable to health and happiness.
The kind of air which circu]ates in a
house may seem a small matter, for
we cannot see the air, and not many
people know anything about it; yet,
if we do not provide regular supply
of pure air within our houses, we
shall inevitably suffer for our neglect.
A few specks of dirt may seem
neither here nor there, and a closed
door or window appears to make little
difference; but the little dirt and the
little bad air are kept to SOW the
seeds of ill-health, and therefore
ought to be removed. The whole of
the household regulations are, taken
by themselves, trifes-but trifles
tending to an important result.

THE Savannah was the first steam
ship which ever crossed the ocean.
She was built in 1918 by Colonel
John Stevens. of New York, and left
the port of New York in May, 1919,
under the command Of Captain Moses
Rogers, bound for St. Petersburg, via
Liverpool. She reached the latter
port on June 20, having used steam
eighteen days out of the twenty-six.
The log-book of the Savannah. in
which Captain Rogers jotted down
the incidents of the trip, is yet pre-
served by his descendants. The al
legged steam pioneers, Sirius and
Great Western. were built twenty
years later. The Savannah was lost
off the south coast of Long Island.

THE funeral as a social function is
something new, and is being gravely
discussed by women who do not seem
wholly brutal or totally devoid OF
sense. The mooted question is whether
one should attend the obsequies of q
person upon whom in life she had
not called or who had moved in a
different set. 4 woman who would
consider such problem should by all
odds attend funeral without delay.
The suggestion that it be her own
seems almost superfluous.
