A Catch Question.
Weekly Telegraph: or Bishop Short,

Weekly Telegraph: OF Bishop Short,
who held the see OF st. Asaph, many
curious stories are told. Occasionally he
put questions to candidates for ordlna-
ton that apparently had no connection
with the discharge OF thelr parochial
duties. They tested, probably, their Wit
or tact, two necessary qualifications to
public men, but nothing more. One such
question proposed by the bishop was
the following: (which has the greatest
number OF legs-n cat orlno cat?"
As might be expected this created "a
litter. but the bishop would not take a
laugh Us the answer. and consequently
he repeated the question and desired
some one to solve the problem. Al last
