A Cat as a Retriever.

A very high idea of human patience
is given by the account of correspond
ent Of Forest and Stream, who has, he
says, tanned common cat to retrieve.
Patience, gentleness, entire absence of
force, were his maxims.
Whenever game had been killed the
cat was led to it, and the game was
given to him. Next the cat sought the
game on his own account. Next he
was taught to stay close to his master,
at first perched on his shoulder. He
was then taught not to fear the sound
Of the gun, beginning with little car
bine, then proceeding to the fowling
piece. When the gun was fired, a COM
mon ball was pitched forward by the
master, and the connection between
the report of the piece and retrieving
was established. Then a dead bird was
substituted for the ball, and it was at
first thrown from the hand and after
ward dropped from the branch of a
distant tree. The education of this
particular cat is now complete. He re-
trieves perfectly, points sometimes and
in general conducts himself like hunt
ing dog.
The biologists deny the inheritance of
acquired characteristics. IL it were not
for their doctrine. this learned animal
might become the progenitor of long
line of useful hunting cats. AS it is, he
stands as a living monument to human
patience and as proof that even the
eat may be educated.

1zlng oscar ANA .he young Reporter.

On one occasion Oscar III. went to
Gothenburg to attend a dedication or
the opening of something or other
where he was expected to make a
speech. An enterprising reporter in
tercepted him at railway station
upon arrival to ask for copy Of his
manuscript in advance in order that it
might be published the same after
noon, for there would be no time for a
stenographer to write out his notes
after delivery. The king greeted him
pleasantly and explained that he had
no manuscript; that he intended to
speak without notes. The reporter was
very much disappointed. He told the
king frankly that he was a new man
and that his future standing with his
employer might be seriously affected if
he failed to get the speech. King Oscar
responded sympathetically motioned
to the reporter to get into his carriage,
and while they were driving to the hotel
gave q brief synopsis of what he ex-
Eected to say.-Chicago Record Herald.
