CATS ON OCEAN LINERS.
Pussies Are as Much a Necessity as
Sailors.

Every ocean liner carrying passeng-
ers always has on board from six to
ten cats, these being apportioned to
various parts of the ship, as well as
appearing on the vessels books as re-
CARDS the rations they draw.
And, even beyond this, on most of
the great lines, particular employees
are instructed to feed daily as part Of
their duties certain cats in their part
of the ship And there is promotion
for pussy as well, for any cat that is
particularly amiable, clever and inter-
esting is permitted to enjoy the run Of
the first or second or third class sa-
looms, according to the popular vote.
In this way certain of the first.class
saloon pussies have become quite cele-
brated, especially on the long voyage
boats that go to India and Australia,
and the stewards Of the various classes
are quite commonly eager to push their
own favorite cat into first place. OF
course, says Tit-Bits, there are amaz-

that are fine hunters, and do not seek

When the ship is in port a certain
man has the duty of feeding the cats
at regular hours and of entering the
rations'in hook, but every cat on the
ship that has been long there seems
to wait with eagerness for, and to

PROTECTION OF SONG BIRDS.
Consul General Dubois Describes the
Swiss Methods,

Consul General Dubois, at st. Gall,
has made report to the State Depart
ment in regard to the methods pursued
in Switzerland for the protection Of
song birds, in which he says:
Switzerland has not many feathcred
songsters, but those that do exist are
carefully protected, not only by law,
but by the fostering care of the people,
particularly the German-speaking peo-
pie of Switzerland. In 1876 a law was
enacted prohibiting the trapping or
killing of song birds or the robbng or
molesting of their nests in any part OF
the Alpine Republic.
"As the seasons come and go the
Swiss birds make their pilgrimage
south, and In going and returning
across the land of Northern Italy and
the Swiss canton of Tessin they are
mercilessly pursued by hunters OF all
ages and classes.
"One of the schemes Is to cover the
limbs Of trees and the rocks, and even
the telegraph wires, along the line of
the bird migrations with a certain
paste of such adhesive qualities that
whenever the birds stop In their flight
for rest or food they are held helpless
captives.
"Dring the past year the border po-
lice Of Tessin captured and destroyed
$4,000 bird traps set to imprison these
weary little flyers. Authorities are
being urged to take the most rigorous
measures to suppress the evil. The
criminal courts are having many more
bird law violation cases than formerly,
and bird catching and killing crIrles,
which in former years were either
overlooked or punished very slightly.
