Cat Rings Bell

A resident of lower Church street,
 Naugatuck, is the Hner of a eat of the Thomas persuasion who possesses 8 re- markable degree of intelligence. AS q pet, this animal could hardly be i'm proved upon, his only fault belng that it is next to impossible to keep him at home nights. His remarkable brain work is shown when he returns home i'll the morning to sleep the day through in 8 cozy corner to prepare for the next nights campaign. Soon after daylight the cat will sneak around the corner of the house where he resides, wearing a shams-faced look. The door is equipped with bell that rings by turning a handle. Thomas waits until he hears footsteps i'll the kitchen and then rais- ing himself on his hind legs he rings the door bell with his paw. On the door being opened the cat sneaks in unseen while the party who opened the door looks in vain to find out who rung the bell. Thomas knows, but he keeps mum and realizes that the trick will work until he is found out.

morning that was
 like a great white pearl, and the milk of the mountain goat only filled tiny silver bucket. It was rich and creamy. The queen of the fairies called it nog.
 She told the king that as long as he would eat the egg and drink the nog every morning he would continue to live, but that if he missed only one lit tie day he would die.
 So you can imagine that the king would permit no one but the princess to milk the snowy nog from the goat or bring the egg and broil it for him.
 Every morning when the princess went out to the royal stable she found the surgeon waiting for her, and they used to tell over few loving words. This all happened in an enchanted time when eggs had long, slender arms and legs outside of their shells and when the quaint little silver bucket be- came alive as soon as ever the creamy nog entered 1t. So it was quite to be expected that while the surgeon made love to the princess sly MT. Egg should make eyes at Miss Nog in the bucket. Easter morning came. The earth was very beautiful There were birds and blossoms all about, and soft breezes from the south brought spicy odors. The princess and surgeon for got to count the shining moments and stood hand in hand for a much longer time than usual.
 When at last they parted the little princess cried out in great fear. The egg, in an effort to kiss the snowy forehead of the nog, had tumbled into crown.
 There was no mending it. Even the
 kings surgeon couldn't separate the
 golden heart of the egg from the creamy heart of the nog. He tore his hair for a minute, then fell upon his
 knees.
 Have no fear, beloved princess" he said; "all shall be we'll" Then he cast away the pearly shell of the egg and carried the silver buck
 ct to the castle. where he beat the egg and the nog together into a golden foam. He then sifted few grains of
 sugar into 1t and added a delicate DOT tion of rum-of which the crusty old
 king was altogether too fond-fecked the top with grated nutmeg, carried the potion to the king and presented it to him upon a silver salver.
 "Your majesty" he said, 'I have grieved to notice that your strength

And he felt so much strong CT that he at once summoned his prime minister and commanded that the betrothal of the princess to the royal surgeon should be proclaimed.
 So little later on the happy young people were married. After the fairy queen had taken back the snowy hen and the mountain goat, so that the crusty old king had to die, the two young people reigned.
 And every Easter morning the whole court drank of a potion that was mix ed by the royal hands. And what do you think the pretty queen called this delectable potion?
 Why, eggnog, to be sure!-Izora Chandler.

MANY SIGNS OF THE CROSS
etases In It's Development May Eas-
lily Be Traced Through Pass
Ing Generations.

The sign of the cross in common
with other universal emblems pre-
sents four clearly marked stages in
its Developments simple idea, elab-
Grafton, sanctity, and decadence.
The crux ansata Of Egypt, which
was originally water gauge begin
ming with simple stick set upright
on the bank of the Nile to indicate
the height of the annual overflow,
was elaborated first by the addition
of short horizontal bar, thus form
ing tau cross, the masculine SYM
Dol sacred in Phoenicia to Tammuz,
and later by the sun circle, finally
changed to a loop, making the OBJ
ject handled cross.
Thus juxtaposed, the fertility Of
sun and water suggests the genera
tive powers of nature. This symbol
appears in the catacombs with the
sun circle transformed into laurel
wreath expressive of the triumphant
faith and hope Of Christians.
The first historical appearance Of
the swastika, or armed cross, four
teenth century B. c., is apparently
on q small leaden figure 31a inches
long, found by Doctor Schliemann
in the second city of the ruins of
Troy, together with many crosses of
gold, silver, ETC., the location Of the
symbol on the figure having gen.
erative significance. The swastika
indicated the sun, the feet referring
to the rays, then fire, and finally
life.

the blue it would be the same color.
But the true cause of the difference
between the two is the quantity of
salt which the water contains Some
parts of the sea are much more salty
than others and it is these which are
the bluer.
That the sea water is denser in
one part than another is the result
of evaporation, less rainfall and a
smaller inflow of fresh water from
rivers, etc. It is estimated that eight
feet of water are annually with
drawn from the Red sea by evapora-
tion and it is not surprising that it
is salter than the Baltic, where the
evaporation is very small and where
there is an influx of water from va
irious streams fed by heavy annual
.rainfalls.

maker named Jan Sneedes finally re-
