Il once had cat which always sat
up to the dinner table with me. and
had his napkin around his neck. and
his plate and some fish. He used his
paw, of course; but he was very par
ticular, and behaved with extraordil-
ary decorum. When he had finished
his fish I sometimes gave him piece
of mine. One day he was not to be
found when the dinner bell rang, so
we began without him. Just rs the
plates were being put around for the
entree, puss came rushing upstairs
and sprang into his chair, with two
mice in his mouth. Before be could
be stopped he dropped mouse onto
his own plate and then one onto mine.
H, divided his dinner with me as l
divided mine with him."--St James's

The hog house is a very simple af.

large quantity Of excellent manure.
The house should face south and be
supplied with movable windows, which
will admit sunshine and can be opened
or shut as the weather requires. These
windows should bc about four feet
