THE MUCH DEBATED "CAT.'

The Evening Post publishes from a
contributor an article, occupying third
of one of it's large pages, on The Do
mestic Cat" 1t points out that the i'm
mediate relations of the domestic cat in
the Old World are the lion, the tiger, the
leopard or panther, the ounce, the SER
val, and the many smaller animals called
tigar cats and wild cats. On this CONT
nent the cat is relative of the pmua. or
cougar, or panther of the United States,
the iaguar, the ocelot, and the pampas
cat. This writer affirms that the Ameri-
can wild cat is not really cat, but a
lynx. AS to the origin of the domestic
cat, he says it cannot be assigned to the
wild cat of Europe nor the gloved cat of
Nubia; could not have resulted by cross
ing several species, and that it probably
originated from one of the wild cats of
India, called felis chaus. In the course
of his article he states that there are one
hundred and eighty nine existing varie

es of dogs, but not more than eighteen

ties of dogs, but not more than eighteen
of cats.
On the question of the intelligence OF
cats the writer strongly supports the
affirmative, and gives this: 1.-THE kitch-
en- door of gentleman's house opens by
common latch, with an iron handle for
the hand, exactly four feet from the
ground, A cat has been in the constant
habit of springing from the ground to
this handle, by which she hangs with
one fore foot, while with the other she
raises the latch, her body and hind legs
dangling in the air. The latch being
lifted, the cat descends and pushes open
the door," Also. when a certain cat was
shut up in the counting house and want
ed to be let out, it was in the habit of
pulling at the bell rope, which always
brought some one to her relief.
Concerning the affection of cats, he
thinks the evidence is about equally di-
vided as to whether they have affection
for persons as we'll as places. The con
sensus OF testimony is that while cats
sometimes show great affection for per-
sons, usually they do not-the exact op-
posite of dogs; while they sometimes
show great affection for places, general
ly they do not care for places, but for
persons.

A RAT RAILROAD.

There was recently in Paris Russian
by the name of Dourof, who was sup
posed to know more about the nature of
rats than any other man living. He has
made business tt training them to do
queer things. and at the same time has
carefully studied their habits and ways.
A contributor who visited him and his
two hundred and thirty free and ordi-
narily uncaged rats found him in the act
of exhibiting his rat" railway. 1t con-
sisted of narrow track laid in circle,
upon which were passenger carriages,
large enough to held five or six rats
apiece, luggage-van and pretty little
engine.
Presently a cage was brought in which
contained considerable number of rats.
Dourof clapped his hands together three
times, and all the rats came running out
of the cage and swarming into and
about the little station.
He clapped his hands again and half
dozen black and sleek rats-very respec-
table, corpulent fellows climbed into
the first carriage, which was a first class
Once more Dourof clapped and half
dozen black and white rats. quite regu-
larly Marked got into the second class
carriage, while an Unfortunately
marked and rather dsreputable looking
company scrambled into the last car
riage, which was third class.
A black rat, who did duty as the sta
ton master. promenaded up and down
OF the platform of the little house, while
two or three small white rats dragged
some little trucks into the luggage van.
These we're the porters.
A whistle was heard, the driver-rat
climbed upon the engine, and points
man rushed to the points. Again the
whistle sounded, and the train moved off
round the track.
The training of the rats to the per-
Torrance of this feat was, M. Dourof de-
clared, extremely easy except in the
case of the porters, whose education had
caused him great deal of trouble. Each
party OF passengers" had been placed
one party at time, at their breakfast
hour, opposite the carriage to which
they belonged, in which some soaked
bread had already been placed. At his
signal they had been liberated, and had
quickly found the bread.-Harper's

So I put it in the pantry on the very lowest
shelf;
And to keep 1t from the insects, tnose anus So

But the enemy approached it, all as hungry as
could be,
And the captain with his aide-de-camp just

Whether they could ford the river or should try
some other plan,
And together with his comrades he around the
liquid ran.

Then again he reconnoitered, rushing forward

He divided them in forces, with a foreman for

And he marshalled the whole army and before

His directions all were given; to his chiefs he

Every ant then seized his plaster. just speck

A RABBIT.

We had a pet rabbit once-a gray one,
such as lives wild in the fields and
woods, who went about the house and
yard just as it wished to, and we all
liked little bunny very much. One day
some one gave us little white puppy,
not quite full grown; so we put it down
with the rabbit Instead of quarreling
they at once became good friends, and
amused us very much with their queer
ways. The rabbit was very fond of be-
ing out of doors and eating grass or any
green thing it could find, so it was often
away for hours; but go where it would,
the little white dog--not much, if any
bigger than itself-was sure to go, too,
for they were great friends from the first.
Often the two would wander from our
yard into those of our neighbors, the
rabbit looking for something to eat, and
the dog going with it for company.
Sometimes we would have quite hunt
for the small truants before finding
them.
We used to enjoy their frolics in the
house after tea very much. The dining
room was next to the parlor, and when
the gas was lighted and the doors were
open between the rooms their fun would
begin. A game of "tag' was one of
their favorites; and the way they darted
from one room to the other-under tables
and chairs-in and out-now here, now
there-was as pleasant for us to see as
it was for the dear little ones to enjoy.
There was sofa in the parlor. and one
of US would often be resting on it. When
the two would get tired the rabbit would
bound upon the sofa, go up to the should
er of whoever it found there, stretch
itself out, and quietly settle itself there
to rest, puppy staying on the floor. But
soon down would come bunny and their
play would begin again.
At their bedtime they would sleep in
the cellar on mat near the furnace, on
place fixed for them. 1t was SO pleasant
to see them; bunny would stretch out
fiat on its side and puppy would place
it's head on its friend. using it as pillow,
and so the night was passed. They were
as happy pair of friends as could well
be.
The rest of my story is sad but will tell
it to you. One day our dear little bunny
was missing, and we never saw it again;
we feared some one had either killed or
stolen it. 1t was pitiful to see the little
dogs distress; at bedtime it searched in
vain for its lost companion and refused
to sleep without it's bedfellow. And
again and again did we carry it to the
rug no, the rabbit was not there. and
poor puppy was inconsolable, refusing
to sleep alone. Our cat had some kit.
tens in box of her own, in the same
cellar, and the poor heartbroken fel ow
tried to persuade her to let him share
bed with the kittens, but pussy did not
love dogs and would not take pity on
his yearnings. But one evening puss
was not at home at bedtime, to the Joy of
our little friend, and the kittens had an
unusual nurse for that night.
l often wonder that boys and men can
find pleasure in hurting little creatures,
as some seem to. If you children will
