Traits of the Cat.

All the cats habits show IL TO be by
nature a solitary animal. says Louis
Robinson in "Wild Traits in Tame AMI
mails" Even in early life, when family
ties bring out the instinct of associa-
ton, this is apparent. II you compare
the play of puppies with that Of kittens
YOU will find in one case that com
panionship of some kind is essential
for IL a puppy has no playmate OF his
own species ne will always try to make
one of the nearest biped whereas a
cork or a bit of string is all that Is
necessary to satisfy the requirements
of the kitten. The way in which the
cat takes its food is "a sure sign that IN
its natural state IL is not in the hablt
of associating with greedy companions.
When given something to eat III nrst
carefully smells the morsel. then takes
il i'm "a deliberate and gingerly way, ana
sits down to finish ii at leisure. There
is none Of that inclination TO snatch
hastily at any food held before il which
we observe even i'm well trained dogs,
nor does n cat seem in any hurry to
stow it's goods in the one place Where
thieying rivals cannot interfere with
them, Indeed, no greater contrast in
natural table manners can be observed
anywhere than when we turn from the
kennel or the pigsty and watch the
dainty way in which n cat takes It's
meals. That cat allows people TO APP
proach Il while feeding without show
ing jealousy proves that IL does not at
tribute to human beings like tastes with
itS own.

NO CUBAN REPUBLIC EXISTS.

An interview that a New York Her
aid reporter has had with Gen. Calixto
Garcia furnishes additional evidence,
II any were needed, to show that the
Cuban republic has had and now has
no existence out OF the saddle.
"The real revolutionary party in Cuba
is the fighting party, declared Garcia,
explaining why he sent his resignation
to his commander-in- chief. Gomez, in
stead OF TO his government. after the
to show that the President and the Sec
retary of the Cuban Republic are only
figure heads, that the military leaders
paid no attention to them and, indeed,
that nobody of any influence in Cuban
affairs recognized the so-called provis-
ional government.
The invasion of Cuba demonstrated
that President Mckinley was right in
nizing the belligerency of the Cuban
republic. Everything else about the Gu
ban situation, as reported, was found
to be true. There were the reconcen-
trados and the lighting bands in the
field. But there was no civil govern
ment of any consequence. To have
given the myth recognition would er-
identity enough have complicated the
situation very much. Congressional ac-
ton would have embarrassed the ad-
mnistration and before Santiago in
July and in Havana today the work of
| our soldiers and government would
| have been seriously handicapped by
| the petty detail of Cuban govern
| ment had such a government been held
| 10 exist. In nothing more than this mat
| ter has the excellent Judgment and
clear discernment of the administra-
| ton been demonstrated. The United
| States government has now to clear
the way for republic in Cuba, to re-
lease the inhabitants and set them free
| TO form government of their own and
| evidently the Cubans themselves hold
distinctly advantageous position by
reason OF the absence from all the
work that has been done, Of any con.
| sideration whatsoever OF the civil adj
ministration set up, as Garcia puts il
for figure head.

HAY FEVER AND HOPE.
How the Sneezing Sufferers Enjoy
Themselves In Convention.

This is the age of organization, and
therefore. at first thought. 1t does not
seem strange that the victims OF hay
fever should form a society. hold an
nual conventions, elect officers and go
through all the other formalities which
SO delight a ifgoverning people.
But, unfortunately, ii is only a short
dispatch that announces the gathering
at Marquette, Mich, of five hundred
sufferers from this dread malady, and
the imagination is left TO struggle
unaided with the mysteries of what was
done, what ends are in view, and why
this twentieth annual meeting or any
of it's nineteen predecessors should
have been held
Everybody knows, OF course that
misery loves company, and certainly a
person with hay fever Is sufficiently
miserable. If looks are any indication,
to explain the development In those af-
hicted OF a gregarious instinct. But,
on the other hand, some misery does
not love company. and Of all diseases.
misfortunes or crimes known TO man.
hay fever, which comes under all these
cateeories, would seem best calculated
70 inspire a desire for wilderness and
solitary caves Herewith.
AS to the aims OF a hay fever asso-
citation, we can only guess that they
relate to handkerchiefs. The sneezing
and weeping members of the society
can get no pleasure from the sight OF
their kind for that would only con-
vince each of them that his or her sus-
picions Of being a spectacle at once
ridiculous and unseemly were well
founded. And there can be no hope
of hearing about means Of relief less
expensive and troublesome than ex-
patriation. for that hope has been CIV
Ell up long ago.
Only the handkerchief hypothesis
remains. The possibility that some
body. some day, will invent a nonero-
sive handkerchief is oil that makes life
endurable for those who have contract
ed the hay-fever habit. That must bt
what they discuss through their poor red
noses when they assemble I'm annua
convention. and pitiable indeed must bt
their disappointment when year after
year passes and no Edison oftextile fab
RIGS arises to supply the all-too-keenly'
felt want.-New York Times.
