How to Choose a Cat.

Most of the cats that children have
for pets are never chosen at all.
They Just wander into a house, purr
confdingly about some member of the
family, are given a saucer of milk
petted a bit. and, before anybody fears
OF 1t. the stray visitor has settled down
in the household.
That Is the way cats are usually
adopted, and sometimes these chance
pussies make the best sort Of compan-
ions. But now and then boy or girl
IS promised cat and given an oppor-
tunity to pick one out at regular cat
store. Then. Of course, the greatest
taste and care are exercised in maxi
ing the choice. There is something a
cat fancier has to say about selecting
a pet
ITO find good natured cat, just the
sort of one for children to play with,
look for a well developed bump on its
head, between the ears. 1t should have
a nose that is round and short, kind Of

sharp, and whose ears twitch nervous

A Recipe for a Salad.

10 make this condiment, your poet
begs
The pounded yellow of two hard-boiled
eggs;
Two boiled potatoes, passed through
kitchen sieve;
Smoothness and softness to the salad
give;
Let onion atoms Turk within the bowl,
And, half-suspected, animate the
whole;
OF mordaunt mustard add a single
spoon,
Distrust the condiment that bites so
soon; - 4
But deem it not, thou man of herbs,
a fault
To add a double quantity of salt;
Four times the spoon with oil from
Lucca crown.
And twice with vinegar procured from
town;
And, lastly, DER the favored COM
pound toss
A magic soupcon Of an"hovy sauce.
Oh, green and glorious! oh. herbac-
eous treat!
'TwouId tempt a dying anchorite to
eat;
Back to the world he'd turn his fleet
ing soul,
And plunge his fingers in the salad
bowl.
Serenely full, the encure would say,
Fate cannot harr e. I have dined
today"
