Cats of Ancient Egypt.

Ancient Egypt must have been a
paradise for cats, for the Egyptians
held them in great reverence, amount
ing even to worship. Magnificent tenn
pies were erected in honor of cats that
had died, and the death Of the family
cat was considered a sad loss, the mem
bers of the family shaving off their
eyebrows as sign of grief and re-
spect.
AS it was customary to mummify the
bodies of humans in those days, the
beloved cats were mummified also, that
they might be with their young mas
tiers and mistresses in paradise The
British museum has a number of Egyp-
tian cat mummies, the dried bodies of
the feline pets being wrapped in fold
after fold of rich burial cloths. These
mummy cats are incased in wood cary
ings representing the cats as they look
ed In life. Once In awhile the cat of
some very fond or very rich Egyptian
would rest in its own effigy in bronze
ornamented with Jewels and gold.
Some of these mummy cases are sup
piled with crystal eyes in order that
the spirit of the eat may look out.
In those good old Egyptian days ev-
cry care was taken that the revered
cat should live to green old age, and
slave caught abusing or negiectlng
the household pet and mascot was a
candidate for burial soon after.

YOUTHS, DEPARTMENT..
The Daisy ana Its Family = The
Cats Of Ancient Egypt--A va
cation song.

The handsome OK eyed daisy grows
wild In many parts of the United
States and Canada and where it is not
found there are sure to be others Of
the large family to which it belongs
the composites.
When we gather daisy or a dande-
lion or an aster or any other of this
family, we do not gather a single BIOS
som, but a whole head of little ones
closely crowded together composite
flower, as the name explains. Often
the flowers around the outside of the
cluster are different color from those
In the center. as in this daisy the cen
ter blossoms are yellow and the out
side ones white, or as in the Black
Eyed Susan, there is brown middle,
with yellow around the edge.
You will see, in looking at one Of
these daisies, that the outer ring of
flowers is different from the middle
one In shape as well as color. The out
err blossoms are long and flat-strap
shaped, the botanists call them-while
the inner ones are tube shaped. The
outer blossoms look like single petals
and In many members of this family
have neither stamens nor pistils or pis-
ills only, while the Inner are perfect,
having all their parts, though it may
take microscope to see them
Having strap shaped and tube shap-
ed blossoms in the same head is one
way in which the composite flowers
are arranged. The daisies are SO and
the asters and the great sunfiowers.
But the thistle and the purple ironweed
and the burdock and others have all
the flowers tubular, while the dande-
lions and chicory have them all strap
shaped. So these are the three differ
ent ways of arranging these two kinds
of flowers.
In every blossom that has stamens
there are five of them, and they are
joined together by the upper part into
a little tube, through which the pistil
passes. This peculiar arrangement of
the petals is one mark of the family,
while the composite heads are another.
The composites have little dry seeds,
one to each blossom, and they may fur
nish them with hooks, as the burdoek
does, 50 that they may cling to passing
people and animals, to be carried far
away from where they grew, or, like
the dandelion and thistle, they may
give their seed children white wings
to sail away on the wind, or they may
simply drop them to the ground, as the
a&nf1ower does.
~The word daisy means days eye
because the European daisy, which
first bore the name, opens in the sun
light and closes at night. 1t is this
flower, and not the OK eye, which is re-
ferred to in most of the daisy songs
and stories. The sunfower so loves
the sun that the Greeks made beauti-
full story to explain why it always
turns its face to him, and many 9th
ers are very dependent upon light. An
other composite, the thistle, is the
Scotch national flower, and there is q
story to that too.-Honora Jacob in
Pittsburg Dispatch.
