Animals at Their Toilets.

OF all animals, cats make the most
careful toilet. The lion and the tiger
wash themselves in exactly the same
manner as the cat, wetting the dark
India rubber-like ball of the forefoot,
and passing it over the face and be-
hind the ears. The foot is thus at the
same time a face sponge and brush,
while the rough tongue combs the rest
of the body.

Odd Visiting Cards.

Korean visiting cards sometimes
measure a foot square. The savages
of Dahomey announce an intended
visit by sending in advance a wood
en- board or the branch of tree ar
tistically carved. When the visit is
paid the card is returned to the
possession of its owner, who will
doubtless use it for many years. With
the natives of Sumatra the visiting
card is composed of a piece of wood
about a foot long, decorated with a
bunch of straw and a knife.
