Some cats are never known to touch
water, while others require it con-
stantly. In very hot weather if you
find your cat lying under a bush in the
yard, painting like a dog. with mis-
tongue dripping, he is not mad; he is
simply sweating. and will probably be
very glad of a drink Of water.
A cats milk dish should be kept
clean and sweet, and he should not be
expected to drink milk that has stood
a long time in his dish. Some cats will
go hungry rather than drink sour milk.
Then, too, care must be taken to pre-
vent our cat from eating tainted
meat. For a few Cents any butcher
will send with the daily order scraps
Of fresh meat for your cat. Keep cat
nip on hand and give the cat a little
once or twice a week. When one can
not procure fresh catnip, packages es-
pecially for cats are kept at bird stores.

TWO BISMARCK STORIES.
Retort to Emperor on Resigna-
ton Being Declined.

After Emperor William l. had re-
turned Bismarck's resignation with the
word Never written boldly across It,
Bismarck spoke again Of his failing
strength to the Emperor. II am much
older than you said william. land am
still strong enough to ride" Yes, your
majesty" said Bismarck, "the rider
usually outlasts the horse"
After the peace of 1871 Bismarck
went to Frankfort-on-the-Main When
he entered the hotel, where he had often
been q guest, the head porter said: "I
hardly knew your highness in civilians
clothes" you are just like the French
people answered Bismarck, they
never knew us until we put our uni
forms on"

ALL R OF GOPHERS.
The Florida Variety, Though, Is
a Land Turtle.

III you should ask a man from the
Illinois prairies what a gopher was
said a ma who acted as though he
had asked a man from Illinois prairies
the question. and whom the New York
Sun quotes, "he would say a gopher
was a gray squirrel that burrowed in
the ground.
IF you should ask the same Ques-
ton of q man from prairies further
west he'd say a gopher was a striped
squirrel that lived In holes in the
ground.
"A Missouri farmer. though, would
declare to you, if you asked him, that
q gopher was a mole footed brown rat
that digs its way under the ground in
that State.
"a ma from Georgia would probably
surprise you therefore, when he as
sured you that a gopher was a snake
familiar to everybody in that State,
but not more, perhaps, than a Florida
native would surprise you when he in
formed you that a gopher was a turtle.
The. funny part Of the matter is tnat
every one OF those informants would
be right in his view. A gopher is a
gray squirrel that burrows, a striped
squirrel that burrows, a rat that bur-
rows, a snake that doesn't burrow and
a turtle that does, just according to
the locality. The most interesting ol
all these is tho burrowing turtle.
This turtle Is a Florida institution,
the Florida cracker, and quite a good
many Florida folks who hold them
selves a good deal higher up than the
cracker dote on the gopher and think
1t the finest thing in the edible line eve
created.
THE gopher never leaves it's burrow
except to forage. If 1t can't get into a
sweet potato patch It will Craze on the
wild grasses that abound In the locali-
ties where 1t lives,
THE burrow of this gopher is in
variably shared by it's occupant with a
family of r~attlesnakes or lizards. The
gopher plainly delights in this deadly
association, although 1t is itself as mild
and harmless as a dove.
mo dweller In the same region with
the Florida gopher ever goes abroad
without q bag slung over his shoulder.
This is to carry gophers home in, for
he is pretty sure to come across them
u foraeins. The moment the gopher
detects the approach of danger 1t shuts
itself securely in It's shell and the
cracker tumbles 1t into his bag.
THE gophers are likewise trapped by
digging holes in the ground close to
the entrance of the burrow, and sink
ing a box or barrel into It. When the
gopher ONES out it tumble into the
trap and can't get out. These queer
turtles often weigh as much as thirty
pounds. They are Of prodigious
strength, a large specimen being able
to rise on its legs with a man standing
on It's shell and walk under his
weight /.

! ,. FEEDING A CAT.

ID - - -. $50 FkT-s ttst ~
n S SOON as kittens have learned to
milk they can be taken from
fhe. mother. The early feeding
OF a kitten is very important. Many
h~alf-erewn cats are troubled with fits.
Because: of this some people say that
they cannot raise a cat, and 1t is a
prevalent notion that fits are caused
by raw meat. They are much more
often caused by overlooking and wrong
foods. Raw food-particularly meats
the natural diet of the cat rib Do
not give a cat three heavy meals a
day. A young kitten should be fed a
little warm milk every few hours, and
as it grows bigger, and eats more at a
time, the intervals between the feelings
should be heightened. When the kitten
is. eating about four times a day. be-
ginsto introduce solids into it's diet at
the night feeding. An animal always
sleeps after a heavy meal, SO that night
Is .the time to. give this meal, and then
tl1e cat is livelier during the. day. Be
gin, with, cereals or cooked vegetables
Cats like such vegetables as sweet
corn, asparagus. cold Potatoes, squash
and spinach. Then gradually lead up
to raw fish and meat.
As-full grown cat should have ais
much milk in the morning as it wants
and no other food until night. when it
sheild be fed all the raw fish or meat
that IT. Will eat, and before being put
into its bed it should be given a drink
of milk. A kitten brought up IN this
diet~Sllould' make a fine; healthy cat
with a luxuriant eoat. Some cats are
very fond of liver. lobster, shellfsh,

PAID TOO LITTLE.
Jerseyman Calls Public
Mems Salaries Inadequate.

Public men-those who serve their
country in the national or State iegis-
latures or in the executive or judicial
departments of the government-are
not paid adequately" said George r.
Olcott, formerly of New Jersey and
now a prominent business ma Of the
State, to a Post reporter in Washing
ton. at is no wonder that Presidents
lave a hard time ~persuading capable
and desirable men to enter their cab
inets, or that some of the brightest and
brainiest men of our country decline
to enter politics. They cannot afford IL.
1t is a sacrifice for a man to become a
United States Senator or a member of
the cabinet, and, in a general sense,
members of Congress have to give up
larger incomes thar they can get from
the government.
ut is the same with STATE legis-
latures. Think of a great State like
New Jersey paying the members of its
legislature $500 for a session, which in
general amounts to $25 a week. The
late Carrot Hobart. Vice-President of
the United States, told me that 1t cost
him $22. 900 a year to live In Washing
ton. and the government paid him then
the sum OF $4,000. Even the president,
with his $50. 900 a year, Is undergrad.
That sum, which may seem large, Is
small in comparison with the salaries
paid the chief executives of other coun-
tries.
I'm the case, of Legislators. the small
salaries paid certainly do not afford an
adequate safeguard against temptation.
A great country like this could well
afford to give the men who manag it's
affairs at least as much as is given
those of other countries. The govern
ment clerk in Washington, I think, is
underpaid, but I presume he will not
get relief very on"
