Cats of the Egyptians.

1t is satisfactory to know that
science comedies that the cat to
which the ancient Egyptian paid
an absurd reverence" really was a
cat of sorts. Elk perts have held
that the so-called "cat" of the
ancient Romans and Greeks
("ailures" the wavy-tailed one)
was not cat at all, but kind of
weasel, The mummifedIEgyptian
animal, however, was a genuine
cat, even if certain peculiarities
about its teeth make it difficult to
regard it as a near relative of our
own domestic puss. The exact
originof the latter remains a puzzle.
1t appears first, mysterously, in
the middle ages, when it was de-
cidedly rare and highly priced
throughout Europe, though the
wild cat still abounded every
where. And experts have not
been able to satisfy themselves
that the domestic cat and the wild
one are really the same. London

when If was all but completed,
darkness came over me, and I
yielded TO the demands of an over
wrought constitution, and for
weeks knew nothing. That 1 liv-
ed is due to the fact that l was
cared for by prisoner-nurse whom
1 shall hold in grateful remem-
brance as long as 1 live. He had
charge of my case half the time,
and frequently on coming on duty
found me lying on the floor, IN
noticed and uncared for, where l
had fallen in my delirium.
When consciousness returned
he made every effort to find out
my name and where my home had
been, but my mind was blank,
and it was days before l could tell
him anything. I remember the
JOY with which I learned that the
plans for escape through the tun-
mel had been successful and that
my six faithful comrades had got
away accompanied by 100 other
prisoners.
The days after l recovered
seemed more uncomfortable than
ever. The hunger and the priva-
ton, the awful scenes of daily oc-
currences, the exhibition of brut-
ality and the heartlessness on the
part of the guards, all go to make
up chapter in my life l would
like 10 forget but can never expect
to. l saw men shot for the slight
est disObedienCe to unreasonable
rules-for trying to reach a little
stream of blackish, foul-smelling
water to quenCh their thirst; for
inability to perform some task
when called upon for things which
they were as powerless to prevent
as little babes. Some of those who
fell were my own comrades. That
l ever left the place alive is a
great wonder to me, and l know
there were times when l wished
death would relieve my sufferings.
The darkest hour is just be-
fore the dawn, they say, and ii
seems SO now. Dragging myself
YEARLY around the stockade one
day heard the heavy firing of
guns and l knew in an instant they
were the guns of the Union army.
Nothing ever sounded half 50
sweet to me before, for in their
thunder l read the glad news that
we were 10 be set Tree. L can re-
member clearly of throwing my
cap against the old warehouse and
feebly cheering.
Nothing mattered then, and
we no longer feared the sguards.
Relief and release soon came, and
those of us who's were able to over
come the deplorable physical cor
dition into which we had fallen,
were soon on the road to recovery.
By our comrades we werea treated
with every consideration.
"Of the seven men who.:dug that
tunnel and provided sthe way for
escape of themselves and their
comrade, l am the only one living.
The other six have been dead sew
eral wears. "

If you want to go to Joyvile take

If you meet a poor woman with a

stub your toe, whistle. If it rains,
Groom a song. If you are cold, run a
little and think about something that
will make your heart glow. If the way
is long, recall how you trudged
every Sunday night up to your best
girls house and never got tired If a
dog barks at you, don't throw stone
at him. Snap your fingers and say,
Good doggie!" If you feel like cry
