4 Live Paperweight.

A parsonage cat, whose favOrite seat Is
on the study table. has found a new use
for himself. He watches his masters
pen. and occasionally, when the writer IS
tired. takes the holder in his mouth. But
his real usefulness is to act as a paper
weight. When sheet is finished and laid
aside. the cat walks gravely to it and
takes his seat on the paper. AS soon as
another is laid aside. he leaves the first
and sits down on the second. Sometimes,
to try him. his master lays down, on diff
ferent parts Of the table sheets in rapid
succession. But "Powhatan." the cat,
remains seated. shrewdly supposing that
to be fun, not business st Nicholas.
