HISS AND SPIT AT FOES.
Cats of All Species Intuitive ely Repel
Their Enemies by n Display
of FerOcity.

Everybody has seen a cat hump its
,ack and hiss and spit at dog. Even
the Youngest kitten instinctively rec
ognizes an enemy and makes showing
of defiance at its approach. This blutf
at intimidation is general among the
species. 1t is a curious and remarkable
fact that many different kinds of crea-
lures which have their homes in shall
low holes have a similar habit of spit
ting when an enemy approaches. Fur
thermore, it is probable that the ex-
preston of a cat at bay is part of the
same instructive stratagem. We know
how general is the horror of the serpent
tribe throughout all nature, and hence
it seems likely that the serpent-like as
pect of the head of an enraged cat, to-
gether with its threatening hiss, might
discomfort an enemy sufficiently to give
an advantage to the cat.
Curiously enough, eats of all species
have their tails marked transyersely
in way which resembles the marking
of serpents, and several naturalists have
remarked how similar are the sinuous,
waving movements of the tail of an
angry cat to the movements of the tail
of snake in state of excitement. The
true tabby cat, when il is curled up
asleep, has a curious resemblance to a
coiled serpent, and the same is true OF
many wild cats of different varieties
and coming from different parts of the
world.
If this really is an instance of pro-
tective mimicry it is possible that the
chief foe guarded against was the eagle.
Eagles are very fond Of cats flesh, and
it has been remarked by naturalists in
various parts of the world that these
formidable birds habitually make war
upon the smaller creatures of the kind.

CENSUS OF DAIRY PRODUCTS
How Correct Statistics of Farm and
Factory Dairy Products May
Be Secured.

Washington, Oct. 16. - The law re-
auires the statistics for the twelfth
census of dairy products (farm and
factory to be taken on separate sched-
ules. The Division of Agriculture will
take the amounts of milk and cream
produced and sold, and the amount of
money received from their sales; also the
quantity and value fall the butter and
cheese made on the farm. On the manu-
features schedule will be taken the guam
tity of butter and cheese made in fac
tories, cooperative and otherwise, to-
gether with the quantity and cost OF
raw materials (milk and cream), cost of
labor, capital invested, character and
value of plant and machinery, etc., etc.
After the two forms of schedules shall
have been returned to the census OF
fee in Washington, the like statistics OF
dairy products on each will be CONSOLE
dated, and thus show, what never here
tofore has been shown, the total yield
of milk in he United States and the
amounts and values of its several prod
ucts. This assertion is based on the as
sumption that the farmers shall fur
nish to the enumerators, fully and ac-
curately, the information which the
schedules may call for.
In some sections the records of cheese
factory and creamery operations for
the current year are destroyed, agree
ably to previous vote of directors or
patrons. For 1899 they should vote, in
stead, to have prepared and preserved,
for the use of the census enumerators,
who will appear on June 1, 1900, the
statistics which the law says shall be
gathered. In many cases failure to
do this will prevent the enumerators
from securing any returns, because new
managers, or new secretaries, or new
boards of control may be in charge on
June /, 1900, who will know nothing of
the factory statistics of 1S99-and the
figures for 1899 are the ones the law says
| shall be taken.
Farmers who keep no records of their
| transactions will find themselves in the
same dilemma, on the arrival of tn : O. d
sus enumerator, as factory which de-
stroys it's records. Therefore, Chief
Statistician Powers is appealing to all
of them to prepare in writing, while the
necessary facts are fresh in mind, such
q statement of milk, cream, butter and
cheese products as will enable them to
reply promptly and accurately to the
inquiries which the law says the emu
merators must take. If they shall fai
to do this, the statistics of dairy prod
ucts in their county will be incomplete
and will compare unfavorably witt
those of counties wherein the returns
are more accurate.

What might have been a fatal acct
dent, but which turned out to be only
a painful one, occurred to William
Green, our favorite house painter, one
day last week. He was using rake
in the garden, and after laying it down
carelessly stepped on the head of it.
This brought the handle up with great
force, and, hitting him on the forehead,
it produced lump as large as wal
nut, and for moment rendered him
unconscious. His shouts of Fire" and
"Police!" were heard by several neigh
bors, and they were speedily at hand.
They would have called doctor, but
Mr.. Green, whose grandfather fought
at Bunker Hill, and who is himself a
born hero, insisted on sitting down on
the doorstep and bathing the lump
with camphor, and in the course of an
hour he was sufficiently recovered to
drive q stray hog out of the garden.
In the midst of life we are in death, and
you can't be too careful about stepping
on rakes and things.

the dark smoke beloved to heaven
and the lurid flames stretched forth
their fiery tongues in every direction,
the cry of Fire" rang out DER the
peaceful landscape, and in five min
utes the entire population of the town
was on hand to perform deeds of valor.
No harm was done beyond tramping
down a few cabbages. The fire bell was
rung by Mr.. Shakespeare Jones, and the
GOODNESS and placidity displayed by him
in so doing is the talk of the town.
Two or three weeks ago Mr.. Henry
White, who is, without doubt, the most
accomplished cooper in this state, If
not in America, bought bottle of
hartshorn for family use. TWAS placed
on the clock shelf, and two or three
days ago, while Mrs. White was tenn
| porarily absent from the house, young
| Herbert climbed up and got possession
| of the bottle. Later on he was found
| in the back yard and had got the cork
| out and was about to drink the con-
| tents for lemonade. With wild shrek
| of terror the mother dashed forward
and wrested the deadly bottle from his
| innocent hands, and then fell uncon-
scious. Our reporter was almost in
stanly on the spot, as he always is,
but the grim specter of death had
| spread his wings and gone in search OF
other prey. That is, young Herbert had
been drawn back from the edge of the
| grave. 1t is far from our purpose to
blame Mrs. White, whose heroism is
beyond question. but we must say that
there is a warning in this incident
Folks who keep harthorn in the house
can't be too careful of it. One gulf
of it and young Herbert would have
been with the angels.
