The most fastidiOus mammals in

excellent brush. while the sharp claws
are on occasion employed by way Of
combs, all these invaluable aids to
cleanliness and smartness possessing
the further advantage of always being
at hand when required.
a healthy cat is not only clean. but
finical, not to say vain, about her Tor

degeneration in pussy is accompanied
by neglect of personal grooming. That

Iuctantly be confessed. lie was the

II Answers n Call at n Tomb at Agra,

One of the finest echoes of which we
have record is mentioned by Barthius.
in his notes on the Thebais of Status.
This was on the banks of the Naha. be-
tween Coblenz and Bingen. where an
original sound was repeated seventeen
times.
At Milan is an echo which reiterates
the report of n pistol from fifty to sixty
times. In Il cave of the Pantheon il is
said that the guide, by Tapping his
coat. makes noise equal to the report
of twelve FOUNDER. Pliny speaks Of
u cave in Dalmatia where a stone tossed
In would raise perfect storm.
The sweetest echo in all the world
answers call ut the side of the tomb
of Nur- Mahal dud Jehanhgir, at Agra.
The guide raises the cry. Great is God.
and Mohammed is his prophet-Allahi
Allah At first three distinct musical
notes are heard in the echo, which re-
vertebrate round the dome and ascend
until they reach the smaller dome,
where they reunite and escape from
the temple as one tone.
