A BACKYARD PARADISE.
The Ideal Cat Range Discovered by Prof.
Won J0ggieby.

From my study window. in the new
house. said Prof. Won Joggleby, Il get a
fine view OF a long row Of backyards. at
the rear Of a row OF houses; and with this
row Of yards in view, ] come for the first
time in my life 10 a full realization OF the
great qualification that the average cat
must find In proving on backyard fences
Maybe these fences here. as they are
constructed, are PARTICULARS adapted to
promote the happiness Of cats. but certain
i, is that | never look mp for the brief mo-
ment that now and then I snatch from my
ard literary and scientific labors with
out seeing a, least one cat sauntering with
leisurely tread, and viii evident enjoyment
of life. along some one Of these neighbor-
ing fence tops.
AN the dividing fences Of this range
Of yards are board fences and they are.
J should judge. about six feet in height;
and they have each and all a narrow sort
Of coping board along the top, to give the
fence a finish.
Incidentally this makes a convenient
path for the cats. People hang out their
washing, on w~ashdays, in these yards. quite
I'm Inc old way. on lines that are stretched
from timhers resting on the top OF the
fences, across the Yards; each yard having
two Of these timbers. one near either
end ,
-These. too. afford convenient aerial
) paths for the cats 10 tread. and tread them
they do with manifest delight.
The cats walk down the base line OF these
fences, along the foot ~ the yards past
one or two or three Of the party fenCs~ ,
hating now and then and looking back,
idly. a. far az ] can see, aud then starting
on again with slow and silent tread, and
turning after a while up along some Ovid
inc fence till they come to one 81 those

Now and then a cat drops from a fence
