Odd Cat Facts.

A good cat-the kind you want to
have in the house, if any-wili have
round, stubby pug nose, full, fat cheeks
and upper lip and we'll developed
bump on the top Of the head between
the ears, betokening good nature. \
sleepy cat that purs q good deal IS
apt to be playful and good natured.
By all means to be avoided is cat
with thin, sharp nose and tWltchlng
ears. It must be remembered also that
a good mouser is not necessarily gen.
tie or desirable pet. Although any good
cat will catch mice il she is not over
fed, quick, full. expressive eyes Gener-
ally betoken good Inouser. The great
mistake and probably the most COM
mon one in the care Of domestic cats
is overfeeding. particularly too much
meat. In wild life the cat has exercise
which enables her to digest her food.
In the lazy house life the same full
feeding leads to stomach troubles and
to fits.

Notwithstanding all that is done by
boards of health and charitably inclined
persons. the death rate among small
children is very high during the hot

from chronic diarrhoea for ten years

to give her entire relief. [ then de-

Roman Baths.

Every Roman had the use Of the
public baths on payment Of about. half
a farthing. These were not such sruc-
lures as we call public baths, but superb
buildings lined with Egyptian granite
and Nubian marble. Warm water was
poured into the capacious basins
through wide mouths Of bright .and
massive silver. The most magnificent
baths were those of .Caracalla, which
had seats of marble for more than
1000 people, and those Of Diocletan,
which had seats for 5000 people.-Na-

A Japanese Legend.

Japanese deities are as kindly and
gentle hearted as the people them
selves. Their story Of the creation is
quaint. Two gods (whose very lengthy
names may be shortened to 1zanagi
and Izanami), standing upon the bridge
Of heaven, cast grains Of rice abroad to
dispel the darkness. They then pushed
q spear down into the green plain or
the sea and stirred it around. This
spear became the axis Of the earth,
started it revolving and thus brought
about the dry land.
