Mrs. Pinkhaln's Standing Invitation to Wol,er
SaIuting a Cat.

In Poona, at the government house,
for more than a quarter of a century
every cat which passed out of the
front door at dark vas saluted by the
sentry, who presented arms to the
terrified pussy.
1t seems that in 1898 Sir Robert
Grant, governor of Bombay, died in
the government house, Poona, and on
the evening of the day of his death
a cat was seen to leave the house by
the front door and walk up and down
a particular path precisely as the late
governor had been used to do after
sunset. A Hindu sentry observed
and reported this to the sepoys of
his faith and they laid the matter
before a priest, who explained to
them the mystery of the dogma of
the transmigration of souls. "In
this cat" he said, WE reincarnated
the soul of the deceased Governor
Grant, and it should, therefore, be
treated with the military honors due
to his excellency."
AS, however, the original sentry
could not identify the particular cat
he had seen on the evening of the
day of Sir Roberts death it was de-
cided that every cat which passed
out of the main entrance after dark
mould be saluted as the avatar of
his excellency. Thus for over a quar-
ter of a century every cat that passed
out after sunset had military honors
paid to it, not by Hindu sentinels
alone, but-such is the infection of a
superstition-by Mohammedan, ma
tive Christian and even Jewish SOL
diers.-South China Post.

GUIDES CHILDREN
Experience and a Mothers Love Make
Advice Valuable.

An Ills. mother writes about feed
ing children:
IF mothers would ISL Grape-Nuts
more For their little one there would
be less need for medicines and fewer
doctor bills.
IF those suffering from indiges-
ton and stomach troubles would live
on Grape-Nuts, toast and good milk
for a short period they would exper-
fence more than they otherwise would
believe.
"Our children have all learned to
know the benefit of Grape-Nuts as an
appetizing, strengthening food. 1t is
every evening, with few variations,
like this: Mama, let's have toast and
Grape-Nuts for breakfast; or, let's
have eggs and Grape-Nuts' - never
forgetting the latter.
lone of our boys in school and Is
years of age repeatedly tells me his
