selves, even though their previous rela-
lions had been friendly. Few people
fail, however, to provide for their birds,
either by placing them with neighbors,
taking them in their own train, or send
ing them to board at the bird-store.
This is the best way, as the bird fancier
gives them good care, and the expense is
trifiing, while the pets have plenty of
amusement in the company OF other
birds.
There are establishments where dogs
receive excellent care, are we'll bedded,
bathed, well fed and exercised, when
their owners are compelled to leave
them. Most people look out seduously
for the health and comfort of a valuable
dog, and even a mongrel, if he is beloved
by some boy master. is sure of protec-
ton and care.
The poor cat is the greatest sufferer
when the people she lives with go away.
How bereft she is, wondering where her
familiars have flown to, unable to solve
the mystery, forced to take up the life
of a tramp cat, losing the sheen from
her fur and the light from her eyes, and
existing by sheer force of will till her
inhuman owners return. People should
not have pets if they do not provide
properly for them when they are Obliged
to leave home. 1t is really as reprehen-
sible, in kind if not in degree. to desert
a pet as to abandon child.
Cats can be reconciled to a change of
home if the people they love have little
patience. and take pains in the matter.
A cat in a strange garnet is smile for
wretchedness, but, practically, the cat
sees the lsituation and conforms herself
to it when she is madeIa!travelling COM
panion. There are also homes for cats
kept by benevolent women who like
these creatures. and will care for them
for compensation during an ordinary
summer vacation. From Harper's Ba-

inexplicable part of the human anatomy,
