his proceedings, and with sigh she
lay down and feigned sleep.
"Come on, then, said Snip, giving
final stretch to his cramped limbs,
"now you have got fellow on to his
pins, you let on you don't care"
Pussy, taking no notice, just waited
till Snip had vacated his place by the
fire. Then with one spring she gained
the long-coveted position, and with
sigh she lay down in the place which
knew Snip no more.
"You silly dog" she said, "your con-

said to herself; ST shan't have half such
a good time now And her misgivings
proved quite correct.
Snip and Smoker became, the great
est of chums, and took no notice what
ever of Tabby, SO that the latter, as
time went on, became sad and de-
pressed.
One day Snip and Smoker caught q
fine big rat, which they worried till he
was about half dead; then they put
him on. the top of waterhntt, which
was covered by boards loosely laid
across the top. The middle board they
removed altogether, and put the rat
close behind this opening.
They went into their kennel, where
only their eyes could be seen, like four
glowworms, fixed on the1wriggling rat.
The time passed, and their excitement
was beginning to cool down, when it
was famed afresh by the appearances
of Tabby, who was evidently suffering
greatly from "ennui." She rubbed

Fixing the wedding Date.

A curious old marriage custom,
called locally "the settling" still sur
wives in County Donegal, Ireland, and
in the Scottish districts of Kintyre and
Cowal. After the marriage has been
publicly announced, the friends of the
couple meet at the house of the brides
parents to fix suitable date for the
ceremony. A bottle of whisky is
opened, and as each guest drinks to
their happiness, he names date.
When each guest has named a date,
an average is struck, and settling"
is complete. Neither the bride nor the
bridegroom ever thinks of protesting
against the date SO curiously chosen.
1T would be considered bad luck even
to speak of alteration.

Everybody is familiar with the fond
ness which squirrels entertain for
nuts; there is, however, upon our
furry little friends bill of fare another
item which is less generally known as
having place there, and that is pine
seeds. The seeds of the pine are borne
naked in the heart of the cone, snugly
laid away at the base of the cone

set for that sort of a repast he. gathers
a cone in his paws and strips off the
scales one by one thus exposing sue.

Snip; ss1et me take him home with me.
I'll smuggle him into the house, and
when my little master, Jack, sees him
he il sure to want to keep him."
It was not altogether an unselfish
motive that made Snip want to rid Mrs.
Snap of her chief anxiety. "In union
lies strength" he said to himself.
Zone dog may not be able to get even
with cat, but what about two dogs? 2"
He smiled a sinister smile when he
thought of how they would give Mrs.
Tabby rats in future.
Now that it came to parting with her
firstborn, Mrs. Snap only remembered
his good qualities, and wiping away a
tear she begged him not to forget her,
and to come and see her often. Smoker
wiggled himself out Of the maternal
embrace and scampered off with his
new friend and protector.
On the way home, Snip gave him a
few hints as to his behavior, strongly
advising him not to have anything to
do with the cat. Unobserved they man
aged to get into Ships kennel, and
when Jack found them there later on
he was so delighted with Smoker that
he obtained permission to keep him,
and SO far Ships plan was quite sue
cessful.
Tabby looked upon the newcomer as
an intruder, and took great dislike
to him at first sight. ST cant imagine
what Jack wants another dog for, she

stretched herself, when all at once she
caught sight of the rat. Hulloa! here
was sport! All appearance of "ennui"
disappeared! Her hair rose and bris-
tied, and she quivered all over with ex-
element. Slowly and stealthily she
crept nearer and nearer her pray, new
er for an instant removing her eyes
from the coveted object. Now, the
long-looked-for moment had arrived.
She crouches low and sprang-a little
struggle, and cat and rat alike disap-
peared into the butt!
Snip and Smoker rolled over and over,
convulsed with silent laughter.
Later on when the maid came to
fetch jug of water, she gave a little
scream and, plunging her arm into the
water, brought out Tabby closely en-
bracing the rat, and SO strong was that
death grip, that together they had to
be buried in the hole which Jack had
dug under the old apple tree.
Snip and Smoker attended the fu-
neral. Whether their conscience
pricked them we know not, but the
words "cat" or "rat'' were not men
toned between them for months!
