WILD, BUT NO COWARDLY DE-
SERTIONS.
Middletown, May 31.-Many visitors
were at Camp Tunnel yesterday and
many of the soldiers received dainties
from home, which were highly appre-
ciated. Although the supplies much
needed by the men have not arrived
yet, they are patiently waiting for
them and are not complaining much.
There is nothing definitely known yet
as TO the destination OF the First Della
ware Regiment. and many OF the Off
GERS and privates are hoping to be sent
to Manila.
The rumor that there were seventy
deserters from the regiment is without
foundation, as there are really no de-
serters. There are several who make
ii a rule not to come back 20 camp
when their leave OF absence expires,
and an officer has to be sent for them,
but he has never experienced any diff
Guilty in finding the boys.
It is likely that the soldiers viii be
paid for their services to the state
either to-day or tomorrow. The
money is now ready, and the state Off
GERS will be ready to pay them.

ADOPTION OF The CAT.
When IL Was Introduced to Human
society IL Mystery.

r. Is Impossible to trace the origin Of
the domestic eat with certainty to any
existing species or variety Of wildcat
Indeed. the time at which the cat was
first domesticated and introduced Il
human society is simply a matter OF
conjecture. Prof. Smaller expresses the
opinion that the domestication Of the
eat must have been much later than
that Of the dog. while naturaIists give
reasons for believing to the contrary.
Some people agree with Prof Shaler
and for this reason. That dogs were
probably first domesticated in order 10
assist in hunting, and, therefore, prob
ably in what Is called the hunting age
Of human society, whereas the cat has
nowhere been generally used az a hunt.
ing animal. The dog is essentially gre
gariouss he loves TO hunt in packs, and
when introduced to human family, he
regards the family az his pack and
hunts accordingly, so that he ia easily
made servieeable by the human hunt
err. The cat, on the contrary, Is IN.
social; ii lives alone and hunts alone.
so that it cannot be expected 10 be cas-
lily trained to hunt. either with men or
for men. In fact, the only member OF
the cat family that has been known
to have been trained 10 hunt is the
cheetah. though an ancient Egyptian
painting, which may be seen in the Brit
ish museum, represents 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-
ealities. Animals ike the wolf, with
which the dog is most closely allied,
follow their prey over vast tracts Of
country, and seem entirely destitute
Of local attachment. The wildcat. on
the contrary, settles down in particli-
lar spot and waits for it's prey 10 come.

lscture Whether the cat or the dog
