To Rid Pussy Of Fisas.

Pussy has trials of her own in
hot weather, and the feas that trou-
BILE her are far more ravenous than
dog fleas. If left unchecked, they
soon reduce sleek, healthy cat to
a veritable skeleton. To get rid Of
her tormentors give her a good
bath with warm water and sulphur
soap, work in rapidly and with con-
sideration for the sensitive ears,
eyes and nose. While the hair is still
wet comb with fine tooth comb,
rinse in tepid water, dry with soft
cloths and give her after her bath
saucer of warm milk When the
hair is quite dry, blow in along the
backbone very fine insect powder,
and rub behind the ears with sui
phur ointment. The next day the
powder can be all brushed out and
the backbone rubbed with the oint-
ment.

Her Wish Gratified.

Born in the last year of the
eighteenth century and therefore
aged fifteen when the battle of Wa
terloo was fought, Nine. Neuve Du-
puis, who is still hale and hearty,
was a guest of honor at the unveil-
ing of Gerome's monument, the
Wounded Eagle, on the scene of the
struggle of giants. Her one wish,
to travel to the battlefield IN mo-
tor car, was gratitied. She did not,
however, remain long away from her
residence at Chapelle les Herlain
court, as she did not know how her
"boys," aged eighty and seventy
eight, would get on without her. 1t
cannot be said that her memories of
Waterloo are very complete or dis
tinct All she recollects is that she
heard at the time of thieves cutting
off wounded officers fingers to steal
their rings.

followed, and prizes are even beng

to encourage the poor to interest
themselves in this pleasant manner

done in Il room. spread paper thickly

alum. Sprinkle the hot liquid with a
sprnliling can or otherwise finely all
over the tree Wait awhile. heat the
liquid again and sprinkle once more.
While the needles are still wet with

over the whole. The tree needles will
then look as If burdcned with snow.
