CATS MIRROR TRAPS BIRDS

Tabby Watches Her Prey and Awaits
the Time to Jump.
Laconia boasts of a cat which COM
bines science with her natural instincts
Of bird-hunting to rather a remarka bic
degree.
Pussy is evidently fond Of fresh live
English sparrows. and by experience
doubtless found that they are wary,
aforementioned and hard to catch. She
also has discovered that when she
turns her back toward a flock of spar
rows in the street they pay little OF
no attention to her and approach quite
closely.
She has also discovered that the
plate-glass show window Of a jewelry
store makes an excellent mirror under
certain conditions Of light, and that by
looking toward the window she can
watch the chippies in the street and at
the same time give the birds no reason
to suspect that she is interested in any.
thing except gold rings and jewelry
display.
The cats method Of obtaining Eng
lish sparrow for dinner is to take her
position on the edge Of a good view
Of the reflection in the show window.
Sparrows come along the street every
few minutes, and, although at first
rather shy Of the cat they evidently
observe that she is paying no attention
to them, and gradually work up quite
close to her in their search for food.
Pussy keeps perfectly passive until
one of the birds happens to stray with.
in easy jumping distance, and then
she turns like a fash and captures
the unlucky bird In an instant.
People who observe the cat for the
first time gazing at the reflection of
the sparrows obtain an idea that she
herself is being fooled by the reflec-
ton and stop to watch. expecting that
she will finally Jump against the show
window in her efforts to catch the
birds, but they find that they have I'M
derestimated kitty's intelligence when
a bird approaches too near the dead
line.-Laconia, N. H., Democrat.

Community Modelled After Edward
Bellamy's Hooking Backward"
A community which closely approx
mates Bellamy's Looking Backward"
is Cosme, a little settlement near
Asuncion, Paraguay, described by Will
helm Lacmann in the Leipsic Grentz-
boten. Equality, democracy and COM
munity of wealth and work are tho
principles on which it was founded in
1894 by split in colony Of Austrian
immigrants to Paraguay. 1.-The houses
of the settlers lie together and form a
small village, and are small, pretty and
clean; they have only one story, and
are built of boards and shingled or
rooted with mazega grass. The ROOF
hangs far over the side walls and -
supported by posts, detail which al
lows for a wide veranda-a most well
come adjunct in the hot weather. On
one side Of the house is small out
building which contains the kitchen,
and every house has its garden. Little
plantations of sugar cane lie between
the houses and the gardens"
Up to the present the dwelling
houses cover only a quarter OF the
space which has been reserved for the
village, and when Herr Lacmann WIS.,
tied the place there were some twenty
houses occupied and 1O8 in course Of
erection. In time the buildings will
form q great square, which will lie
about a larger open square. In add1-
ton a number Of smaller public places
have been provided for, which will lie,
as those already in existence, between
the houses. There is an absolute
community Of goods in Cosme, the only
exception being that objects Of house
hold or personal use-furniture, cook
ing utensils, clothing and food-remain
the property of their users. When one
enters the colony he must bring his
entire property in, with these excep-
tons. When, however, one wishes to
withdraw he does not receive back the
amount Of his contribution, but only
the amount which corresponds to his
share for the last working period"
Everyone must go through a proba-
tionary period Of one year. and before
this period is completed no member
ship is obtained nor any contribution
Of goods made. Every applicant upon
entering must pay into the treasury
SIS for each adult member Of the fam.
lily and half Of this amount for each
child. II then the probationers de-
eide not to remain In the colony their
expenses to Buenos Ayres are paid
but this is not done unless the appli.
cant remains in the colony three
months. The only requirements are
that the applicant be strong and
healthy. Under no circumstances ar
eolored persons admitted"
