The cats spirit of independence is
the most distinct characteristic of her
nature. AS Nine. de Cuisine rightly
said, the cats great difference from
and, according to her sentiments, su-
periority to, the dog lie in her calm
insistence on selection which invari-
ably accompanies her apparent docil-
ity. To the dog proprietorship is mas
tership; he knows his home, and he
recognizes without question the man
who has paid for. feeds, and on occa-
sion kicks him with all the easy famil-
tarity Of ownership. He follows that
man undoubting and unnoticed, CRATE
full for word, even thankful for an
oath.
But the cat is a creature of rery
different stamp. She will not even
stoop to conquer, nor be tempted out
of her nature by offers of reward. She
absolutely declines instructions; nay,
even persuasion is lost upon her for
any permanent effect it may be de-
signed to have. You may be the legal
posscssor of a cat. but you cannot
govern her affections.

aversion for my master because of her

Curious and quaint beliefs still pre-

their shoes, before retiring for the
night, at right angles, forming I, re.

Hoping this night my true love to see

band will be revealed to them in

on the table with the belief that the

The Holland pr,mro,e.

There is plant In Holland, known
as the evening primrose, which grows
to height of five or six feet and bears
a profusion of large yellow flowers so
brilliant that they attract immediate
attention, even ut great distance, but
the chief popularity about the plant
is the fact that the flowers, which open
just before sunset, burst into bloom so
suddenly that they give one the impress
sion of some magical agency. A man
who has seen this sudden blooming
says it is just as If some one had
touched the land with a wand and
thus covered it all at once with gold
en- sheet.
