Doing For the Farson.

The old custom of having the minis
ter and the schoolteacher "board
round" is not wholly forgotten, as is
seen in an incident reported by the
Florida Times Union. The parson is
successful circuit preacher, who in his
younger days was sent as a missionary
to Florida. The town was off from any,
railroad line, and was sparsely popu-
lated. The new minister gathered Hle
people and told them that he intended
to establish a church; that churches
brought schools, schools settlers and
settlers prosperity.
II have no money" he said. "but I
intend that you people shall care for
me. What a you do for the preach
err? I don't intend to put the burden
of my living on any M family. but
upon all of you, turn and turn about.
I will not go, however, where the latch
string is not hanging out Of the door.
What can you do for the preachers"
One old lady, who had a dim recol-
lection of a small church in the piny
woods of Georgia when she was a girl,
said:

him."
That's good" responded the parson.
"Now, who's neXt?"
"Well if Sister Jenkins is gwine to
eat him, I'll agree to sleep him, but I
can't wash him."
That's good. Who ne1t?"
Here another sister spoke up: swell,

What Gals Should Eat.

Cats should have a variety OF food.
Milk is always a healthful natural
food for them, but unless one is sure
Of a fresh wholesome supply it is bet
ter to scald the milk before giving it to
the cat. This should be borne in mind
especially in hot weather. At all times
cats generally prefer to have the milk
slightly warmed, but, Of course, not
hot. Both meat and fish should be
thoroughly cooked before being given
to cats, and the bones should be re-
moved from the fish. Oatmeal is good
for them, but should be we'll cooked
for several hours. 1t is q good plan to
mix oatmeal and sometimes rice with
fish. Cats like some kinds Of vegeta-
bles, especially beans, corn, asparagus
and squash. It is said that cabbage Is
good for them and may prevent mango.
Carrots, potatoes, cauliiower and other
vegetables IAN also be given to them.
A cats food and water should al
ways be fresh, and the dishes used
kept clean.
Kittens must be fed oftener than
grown cats, and have all the milk they,
want. 1t is very important that cats
should have grass; they are likely to
become ill without it. In the country
they can find it for themselves, but in
the city it should be given to them and
catnip also.
1t is 3 mistake to suppose that be-
Cause a cat catches birds and mice
she needs no other food. Some people
feed their cats so little that they are
compelled to help themselves either at
home or at neighboring houses, and
they they are called thieves.
