LIFTING CATS AND RABBITS

1t is a mistaken idea that the proper
way to lift full-grown cat is by the

true that the mother cat carries young
kittens by grasping in her mouth the

very different matter from large cat

FISHING TIME IN THE PASIG

Friday morning Filipinos sharing

Both banks OF the Pasig and all tho

OF F1lipinos with snares and spears
trying to catch the fish that in myri.
ads were swimming near the surface
Of the stream.
Natives when asked in regard to
the phenomenon were almost unani-
mously In their statement to the eff.
feet that at this time of the year the
bottom Of the river gets hot and that
he fish have to leave the depths of
the stream and flash back and forth
on or near the surface.
Another theory that seemed to have
q great many adherents was to the ef-
feet that at this time every year
there was a change in the character

the fish as a stimulant
This theory was advanced by an old

Qpportunity of Suffrauist,

Baroness Aletta Korff tells in one
Of the magazines how the women Of
Finland came to vote. The fact Is
that women had to show that they
could meet an emergency before the
vote came to them. They have not
had many opportunities to take the
initiative In the worlds history and
they have not always responded when
the opportunity came, but when a
crisis, such as that in 1904, when the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
In Russia took place at the same time,
occurred, they proved they could
make peace by doing it. Not until
England and the United States find
the women helping them to bear some
great trouble will they give them tho
right to vote.

Americans.

Farm produce today is s-emunera-

agreeable. Those who are studying
the economics of the day tell us that
the strength of tho nation lies in the
cultivation of the soil. Farming is no
longer a haud~to-mouth existence. 1t
means independence, often afluence,
but certainly independence.
Calling at farm house, near one of
the numerous thriving towns of AL
berta, in Western Canada, the writer
was given a definition Of "indepen-
dence" that was accepted as quite
original. The broad acres of the farm
er's land had crop-and splendid
one, too, by the way-ripening for the
reapers' work. The evenness of the
crop. covering field after field, attract
ed attention, as did also the neatness
OF the surroundings, the well-built sub
stantial story-and-a-half log house, and
the well-rounded sides of the cattle.
His broken English-he was French
Canadian-was easily understandable
and pleasant to listen to. He had
come there from Montreal year ago,
had paid $40 an acre for the 320-acre
farm, with the little Improvement it
had. He had never farmed before, yet
his crop was excellent, giving evi.
dence as to the quality OF the soil, and
