HOW CAT WAS NAMED PUSSY"

We are inaepted to Egypt-that
land of antiquity-for the name of
"Puss" as applied to the cat. About
1000 years ago. among their many
idols, the Egyptians worshiped the cat.
They thought she looked like the moon
because she was often out at night,
because her eyes changed as the moon
does, being sometimes round and full
sometimes crescent-shaped or half
moon, as the saying goes.
Their cat-faced idol was called
Pasht, or the moon; literally it meant
the face of the moon" In the chang
ing of words that comes with time the
sound and spelling came to be "Pas."
then "Pus" and finally "Pussi." Ev-
erywhere the houshold cat answers to
the name of 'Puss" or PUSSY" So 1t

kitty cat to know she was once ia

THE REWARD.

All. the path seems steep and stony,
And your feet are weary too;
And the hills of life are rugged
AS the way spreads out to view.
And you pause all tired and hopeless
Wondering N"Will 1t never cease2"
When you first began to travel,
Did you dream of paths like these?
All, no. you dreamed a path of roses
OF thornless ways for careless feet:
As you walked in life's fair morning
Singing gaily-life was sweet.
But today! An, cruel awakening.
The rugged path is strewn with
stones,
And the heart that beat SO lightly
Tastes despair - the songs Ore
groans.
But look you, weary, te4rstained NOR.
tai.
Just ahead the path is curved;
And beacon light is shluing
On place for you reserved. ~
And clear waters trickle softly
From the marble fountain there;
And before you spreads q meadow
FILLED with flowers choice and rare.
And somewhere a voice is saying
Since you kept the narrow way.
God has heard your prayer, o pilgrim,
You have found eternal day.
