An uptown girl, who has mania
for household pets, recently under
went an experience which has left her
little shy on the advisability of be-
coming too closely intimate with pets
in general She owns handsome
Maltese kitten and was so fond of the
pet that it was allowed to occupy a
place in her bedroom at night This
was all very well until night or two
ago, when the young woman was
awakened by great disturbance talk
ing place on the bed. Investigating
the affair she found the kitten play
fully dashng to and fro on the out.
side OF the covers and was about to
call him to her when she discovered,
to her great horror, that the cause of
all these playful antics was little
mouse. The kitten had caught the
rodent somewhere about the place and
was having little fun with his
prisoner before dispatching it. The
uptown girls hair didn't exactly turn
white, while the cat playfully chased
the mouse over the bed-clothes, but it
came pretty near doing so, and when
the kitten finally made meal of his
capture, she breathed a great sigh Of
relief Since that time the kitten has
been occupying more suitable place
for his midnight merriness -Phila-

WEDDING OUT FLoCKs.
In No other Way Can the Standard OF
Farm Poultry BE Elevated
LeEitlmntely.

Wedding out the flock improves it
every year, as higher standard will
result. By an observation of the in
dividuals much can be learned, says
Mirror and Farmer. The good hens
become pets, and pride in their indi-
vidual excellence on the part of the
owner results. The young stock will
be Matched only from the best produc-
ers, instead of from eggs taken indis-
criminately from the egg basket, No
farmer who will carefully Gull out the
drones need depend on breeders to pro-
duce breeds for him. Pure breeds
should be used, however and especial
ly pure-bred males. Even with the
choicest stock the matter of selection
should not be. overlooked. There are
drones and oilers in aristocratic flocks
as well as in the flocks of low degree,
There is room for improvement in
every direction, The object should be
to impress upon poultrymen and farm
ers the Importance of a close scrutiny
of the stock, and to teach the fact that
a profitable flock can be made up of
what may look like u"promising ma
terial.

Of course she was indignant when it
dawned upon her that some one was
trying to hirt with her. Yet there
was no denying the fact that the man

courteously and said; Madam, why
do you persist in preceding me?' Two

went round the block rather than pass
