Why Not Use Electric Lights?

Stop scratching matches on our wall.
Those streaky match scratches look
mighty bad on any wall. But as long as
you continue to use gas or oil you've got
to use matches.
The "matchless light is the electric
light,--a simple twist of the wrist does it.

Character In Cats.

Cats are like children" says a writ1 CT. Educate them properly and you can do with them and their characters even as you will One of the first things that impressed itself on my mind on going round to cat shows as judge, spectator or artist was the ex- tFaordinary difference that existS in the characters of cats coming from differ ent parts of the country Indeed, the effect that a crowded exhibition and its surroundings have upon different cats Is really very strange. Most of those cats which at home are rarely drawn out of themselves. and which you can see, in an ordinary way. under one or two conditions of expression. inme- iiately develop a new expression, and this typifies the effect home life has up- on them. For Instance, a cat that has been treated by It's master or~mistress very lovingly and has in normal cir cumstances seen a number of people who have praised 1t and petted 1t and stroked 1t a great deal will exhibit an entirely new, snug, centented and happy expression when 1t comes before the public On the other hand. the ami nal that has lived life of ease. seeing nobody and nothing beyond its mis- tress, will exhibit the most striking oharacteristics of It's mistress Thus, If the character of the woman be, in the main, a sulky or a snappy one. the effect of the sudden change upon the cats life will be to bring out In the cat suiky or snappy dispo- sition also"
