In the United States, are practically
unknown In Mexican houses either at

All doors open in the middle and are
fastened with bolts top and bottom
Exterior doors are always fitted with

The war may be over before a de-
cision is reached I'm the controversy
over the meaning OF the word
"Morro," which is used TO describe the
sundry Spanish fortifcations called
castles. The spaniards may know what
1t means. but they have too many
other things to attend to to participate
In the discussion. The best argument
appears to support the translation of
round" as the meaning of the des-
criptive adjective. Moro is Span
ish for round" as applying to any
thing from pebble on the beach to
castle in its traditional form. The
supporters OF the Interpretation that
a Moro castle means a Moorish
castle. tracing IL back TO the archi-
lecture left by the Moors when driven
from Spain, are compelled to spell 1t
Moro" with one "r.'' to support
this view. As matter OF fact. the
Spaniards spell II with two "r's." Nor

probably has no relationto the Moors,

have cared to perpetuate. but simply
suggests rounded form OF architec-

THE CARE OF CATS.
Kinds OF Food That Should Be Given
Treatment When Sick.


Cats are by no means as hardy as is
sug6 ted by the old adage that each
cat has nine lives" remarked a vet
erinarian who makes specially OF
treating sick cats "But there is no
reason why. with proper care, a pet cat
should not live TO a very green old age.
Cats should be fed regularly and at
least twice a day. Bread and milk or
oatmeal porridge and milk, the milk
having little hot water and trifie OF
sugar added to 1t In chilly weather,
should constitute their breakfast.
Bread and broth with a little cooked
meat Is quite sufficient for their din
ner. little fresh fish may be given
occasionally, and now and then a NOR
sci of uncooked liver and meat, care
being taken to remove all fat. Any
vegetable for which the cat shows a
fondness may be given with discretion.
,'Remember to see that a cat always
has access to a plenty of fresh water
and fresh grass. grass beng q genuine
panacea for all its minor troubles.
The diseases OF cats include sore throat
bronchitis, pneumonia and consump-
tion, which are especially prevalent
among them, as they are very suscep-
tible to dampness. One OF the first
symptoms OF illness is rough and un-
tidy coat. II this be accompanied by
restlessness and languor IL is safe to
administer dose of castor oil and pro-
vide the cat with sheltered place un-
til the effect has worn off.
f''Wherei the presence OF any kind of
poison In suspected prompt and ener-
getic action is necessary, A liberal
desc OF 1ulxewarm water slightly salted
generally has a good effect. but II is
safest TO give at once sweet oil or
melted lard. After such an experience
a course of cod liver oil is advised,
with a generous diet A little powdered
sulphur made into paste with lard or
unsalted butter. and smeared upon the
front paws, is an excellent thing to
keep cat in good condition, but care
should be taken to keep II from all ex-
posure to dampness until the effects OF
the dose disappear.
Never scold, frighten, or shake a
sick cat. IL matters not how cross they
may be at first, they soon come to un-
derstand the treatment is for their own
comfort. and will quietly submit after
a short while. Care must be taken to
guard against their bite however, as
the bite Of a cat Is always serious
thing. In giving medicine the sick
animal should be rolled In a sheet, its
paws at its side, the mouth pressed
open, and a bit OF wood laid across
the lower jaw just behind the eye
teeth"
