its Conduct at Times Contradictory and
Mystifying.
There are contradictory elements in
the character of the cat. No animal is
more independent, and if we may
speak freely concerning cats" like
Montaigne, no animal is more capri
cious in its choice Of home than cat.
Yet none is more remarkable for its
power of finding its way back from
great distances than cat is if it pleases
to do SO. As Mr.. Romanes says, the
psychology Of the cat unsubdued by
civilization fits it for a Robinson Crusoe.

A dog lost in wood bowls all night

instead of using her "homing instinct
mikes herself at home with rabbits,
pheasants and small birds. Again, the
cat in towns sometimes deserts his
home in dudgeon at some perhaps imag
ined insult and abandons himself to a
life conducted entirely on apolaustic
principles Every one knows that 9

Bee keepers relying on the use OF
comb foundations are often victimized
by cunning deceivers. In order that
the foundations may be OF value 1t is
absolutely necessary that they be
made OF pure wax. However, the wax
is often adulterated by the use OF par
affine. The latter melts at tempera-
ture OF ten degrees lower than wax and
is OF little value, as 1t often melts down
in the hive. Tallow Is also sometimes
used, although its presence is moro
easily detected than TINT OF parafline.
In wax foundations the thickness usu-
ally depends upon whether the frames
are wired or not.
