On the Education of Cats.

There is only one piece of evidence that
IN ancient times the cat was trained-an
Egyptian painting showing u cat bringing
Wild fowl to its master from Il papyrus
bed-anu very few instances are on record
even OF Its being trained to retrieve in our
day. "A visitor to one of the lnon,iSterios
on Mount Carmel states that when several
OF the monks went out, gun on shoulder.
to shoot game for the pot, he saw their
cats marching out after them, to aid as
rctrlerers, but he did not witness the
sport. There is no doubt that cats can be
trained to follow, like dogs. A working
mar in the north nidlands recently ownod
small cat which followed him all duy,
and when tired was carried in IA largo
pocket III its masters coat So also Il nay
w some years ago owned u cat which hud
followed or accompanied him to work In
most parts of north and western England,
sometimes following him on foot and
sometimes carried in tho white washable

Clothes But as rule it is much easier to
teach them not to do things than to do
them.
Recently in n large London engineering
works there was some regret that the
"best foundry cat" was dead The sand
used for making casts in the foundry is
mixed with flour. Mice como to eat the
flour and spoil the ''molds" 1t is not de-
slrablc that rats and mice should be about
In this loft, SO cats are kept there. The
cats have to be taught not to walk about
on the niolds or scratch them up, and this
best foundry cat was absolutely perfect
IN this respect. London Spectator.
