CONCERNING CATS.

Among the attractive and interesting
books just issued by Houghton, Mitf1in
e Co., Boston, is The Fireside Sphinx,
by Agnes Repplier.
''There is sweet and sunny corner of
the Elysian Fields, where browse and
play forever little band of cats, whose
names, lmperiShable as their masters j,
are household words today" says Miss
Agnes Repplier in her introduction to
The Flreside Sphinx. All who love
cats, and all who enjoy brilliant writ
ing, fascinating illustrations and fine
book-making. will be glad to know of
this new volume.
1t has been written Sin memory of
Agrippina," the little gray cat who
once upon time sat upon the writer's
desk, swept her tail across the copy, or
patted with friendly paws the pen as
it Travelled over the paper"
Miss Repplier begins the first of her
delightful chapters with the cat of anti
guilty, there having been, apparently,
no cat in the Garden of Eden. AS the
legend goes, pussy sprang into exist
ence at the Deluge, Noah having been
much troubled with rats and mice in
the ark.
Unfortunately the cat did not enter
Greece until the glory of that land had
waned, and as toy or plaything. She
was carried from Africa to Europe a
few hundred years before the Christian
era.
Then Miss Repplier tells us of the
cat in the dark ages, and here we have
the little beasts associated with witch
craft and other wickedness; but during
the Renaissance pussy resumes her
sway, being again taken into favor.
Various poets have sung the praises
of the cat, especially the French writ
ers, Montaigne, Ronsard, Gautier and
Joachim du Bellay. Richelieu, Mazarin
and Cardinal Wolsey loved cats, and it
is to Francis Augustin Paradis de Mon
crif that we owe our intimate acquaint-
ance with the most distinguished cats
of the Renaissance. Moncrif was a
faithful lover of the feline race, and in
his pages the names of pussies long
since dead, live sWeetly embalmed in
verse.
Miss Repplier is an authority and an
enthusiast on CATS and traces their his
tory down to the present time. She
treats her subject with the delicate and
charming touch that characteriZes all
her work, and the illustrations by Miss
Bonsall are very effective and interest
ing.

garden of the Santa Barbara Cali

seems to have her lovers and friends in
all times and ages.-POrtland Press.

TAKEN FROM SCHOOL.

Her Mother Says She Did Not Receive
Proper Treatment. Mrs. Alice M, Locke
Makes a Statement. The Reason She Did
Not Allow Her Daughter, Grace, to Con.
tinue Going to school.
trouble in the schools and not a few girls
have been kept at home by their parents on
account of it.
One of these is Grace E. Locke, prepos-
sessing Miss of sixteen years. Her mother,
Mrs. Alice NJ. Locke, during an interview
Oh the subject said:
"My daughter is good girl and l have
never had any trouble with her. But about
six months ago was obliged to take her
out of school, She had worked hard and,
since her heart had not been good for about
three years, it had been too much for her.
She grew pale and liStless, she was tired all
the time and the least exertiOn made her
breathe hard. The disease was anamia and
1 was afraid of it, but l hardly knew what
to do, for medicine didn't seem to be doing
her any good.
"But at last we noticed an advertisement
in the paper saying that DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People would cure diseases
arising from impoverished blood, and
made up my mini to have her try them.
Her trouble was deep-seated and obstinate
and, at first, the pills didn't seem to help
her much. But she kept on and in little
while she began to feel better. She con-
tinued using them till she had taken ten
boxes and now she looks and feels like a
different person. She is back in school, as
well and strong as any OF the girls and
feel very thankful for what DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for Pale People have done for
her."
Mrs. Locke and her daughter live, in
Whitman, Mass, and many OF their neigh
bors are willing to vouch for the truth OF
the above statement rs nearly everybody
knows, anpmia, the disease from which
Miss Locke suffered, is a dangerous one to
neglect. 1t is caused by an actual deficiency
OF the blood, and watery and depraved
state of that fluid. 1t is characterized by a
pallid complexion, pale lips, dull eyes,
tongue and gums bloodless; shortness OF
breath on slight eXerti0n-especlally upon
going up stairs; palpitaton OF the heart :;
feeling of impending DEATH weakness, loss
of appetite and ambition; irregular and
painful monthly periods If neglected, 1T
may result in decline and death, OF persls-
tent, perniclouS anHmla-one OF the most
hopeless of diseases.
The one remedy that has proved itself a
specific for ansemia is DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. These pills will
never fail to effect a cure if used persistent
ly for a reasonable length of time. They
are positive specific not only for ansemla,
but, acting directly on the blood and nerves,
strike at the root of the trouble and cure
such disease as locomotor ataXa, partial
paralysis, st. Vituo' dance, sciatica, neural
gia, rheumatism, nervous headache, after
