THE LAW OF CATS.

Dog" is already a well-recognized
head in the dgests. II the harmless.
necessary cat goes on at the present
rate il will also be recognized as enti-
tied to a department in the digests un-
der that name. This is indicated by the
following from Law Notes:
"The case OF Harris Us. Slater. which
came up I'm the chancery division not
long since. involved rather unusual
state of facts. The plaintiff, maiden
lady, sought decree that she was en-
titled TO half share in a blue Persian
cat, Roy by name, and that the .ac-
counts of the partnership De taken. III
seems that during the kittenhood of the
cat the defendant. also "A maiden lady,
gave il into the charge of the plaintiff,
who nurtured and cherished II at great
cost. Thereafter the cat developed an
amazing capacity for prize-winning,
gathering i'm all the CHIEF trophies at
the different cat shows. IL was entered
at the Crystal palace show in the joint
names Of the plaintlff and defendant
under the rule requiring the names of
the animals owners 20 be registered.
After the development Of the winning
streak the plaintiff denied that the de-
fendant had any property in the cat.
The Lord Chancellor said, however, that
he was of the opinion that partner
ship existed between the parties, and
therefore he would order that the ac-
counts of the partnership be taken. He
also granted an injunction restraining
defendant from selling or dealing with
the cat in any way prejudicial TO the
plaintiffs property I'm IL.

Low money rates have been the graf
flying experience for some weeks now
while our German and British cousins
have had to stand a considerable raise.
But the New York bank statement of
Saturday indicates that a good thing
cannot endure ali the time. The United
States Treasury has ceased to be a de-
positor in the metropolitan banks and
Instead is showing n desire to draw Oh
them, while loans have increased enor-
mously, so that the disparity between
the low rates here ana the abnormaily
high rates abroad is likely to be less
marked in the immediate future.

Deafness Is caused by an infamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inhamed 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 condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an lnfamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
