WHENCE THE CAT?
Probably Adopted by Mnn SUISSE
Guent to the Hunting Age.

1t is impossible to trace the origin
of the domestic cat with certainty to
any existing species or variety of the
wildcat. Indeed, the time at which the
cat was first domesticated and intro
duced to human society is simply a
matter of conjecture. Prof. Shaler ex-
presses the opinion that the domestica-
ton of the cat must have been much
later than that of the dog, while nat
uralists give reasons for believing to the
contrary.
Some people agree with Prof Shaier,
and for this reason: That dogs were
probably first domesticated in order
to assist in hunting, and, therefore,
probably, in what is called the hunting
age of human society; whereas, the cat
has nowhere been generally used as
hunting animal. The dog is essential
~ gregarous; he loves to hunt in
packs, and when introduced to a hui
nran family he regards the family rs
his pack and hunts accordingly, so
that he is easily made serviceabl by
the human hunter. The cat, on the
contrary, is unsocal; it lives alone and
hunts alone, so that it could not be
expected to be easily trained to hunt,
either with men or for men. In fact,
the only member of the cat family that
is known to have been trained to hunt
Is the cheetah, though an ancient Egyp-
tian painting, which may be seen in the
British museum, represents a cat which
is apparently assisting a hunter to
catch birds.
There is another reason for thinking
that the cat must have been adopted
by man after the hunting age. namely,
the cats wonderful attachment to To-,
calities. Animals, like the wolf, with
which the dog is most closely allied,
follow their prey over vast tracts OF
country and seem TO be entirely desti-
tute of local attachment. The wildcat,
on the contrary, settles down in par
ticular spot and waits for its prey to
come. When removed from its ac-
customed habitat it seems to lose its
skill, and therefore would be useless
to men in hunting age, because in
that age men seldom had fixed habita-
lions, but roamed abroad wherever
game was to be found. OF course, much
of this is conjecture. Whether the ca
or the dog was first adopted by men
cannot now be certainly known, but
the cat was well known as domestic
animal at an early period OF human bis
tory.-Bostou Journal.

Deafness Cannot he Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure.
