LIFTING CATS AND RABBITS
Mistake to Lift Animal by Nape of
Neck Without Supporting Lower
Part of Body.

1t is mistaken idea that the proper
way to lift a fullgrown cat is by the
nape of its neck without supporting
the lower part of it's body with the
other hand, says Watchword. 1t is
true that the mother cat carries young
kittens by grasping in her mouth the
loose skin at the back of her off
springs neck, but a tiny kitten is a
very different matter from a large cat
and, indeed, the only way to lift a
kitten without squeezing or hurting
its soft little body is to lift it by it's
neck; but after it has grown larger it's
own weight is too great to be support
ed by such a bit of skin and fur as is
so grasped by the hand, and many a
cat suffers perfect tortures by being
held in this manner, and is quite help
less to run or struggle, as in such a
position certain of it's muscles cannot
be controlled, and it is absolutely at
he mercy of it's unconscious tormen-
tor.
The same rule should be observed
in lifting rabbits by their ears They
should always be partially supported
by the free hand and not allowed to
dangle with their whole weight strain
ing from their large but necessarily
delicate ears

are going to do 100-yard dash in
record time. The funny part of the
fore-and-aft race is that the chap who
faces the front invariably tries to
carry the boy facing the rear off his
feet in his efforts to make speed. He
forgets that it is impossible for his
team mate to rur backward half as
fast as he runs forward, so the
chances are there will be a good
many trip-ups and the race will be
won by the pair who can best adapt
their irregular gait to each other in
stead of the swiftest contestants.
Now, as you will see, headwork is
more apt to win when 1t is coupled
with the footwork than speedy foot
work alone. So use your heads to
regulate your feet; in other words,
use good teamwork" as they say in
athletics, and you'll be successful in
this broomstick pastime of the fore
and-aft race

CONCERNING REGISTERED MAT.
TER

Hereafter one must ask voluntarily
for receipt from the addressee for
registry mail or no formal notifica-
ton of delivery will be sent through
the mails, according to a new order
made public at the postoffice depart
ment.
Originally the receiving postmaster
invariably obtained the addressee's
signature on delivery of registered
mail and sent the receipt back to the
sender. Later the delivery of a re-
ceipt depended upon the sending
postmaster's questioning of the
sender as to whether a receipt was
wanted.
Beginning December 1 next the
postmaster need not ask the sender
but the sender may insure receipt
by requesting one This action is
expected to eliminate much unnec-

A railroad agent is not entitled to
use his authority to expel persons
from the depot in such rude and
willful manner as to cause unneces-
sary hardship. So the supreme court
OF Texas ruled the other day in a
case where man and his wife went
to small station in that state to
take train to another small town,
but arrived too late for the evening
train, and decided to remain in the
depot till morning, when the next
train was due. About 10 o'clock the
agent ordered them out in the rain
against the protest that the woman
was not in good health and in no
condition to stand bein5 out in a
storm. They finally left W seek
lodging elsewhere, so as to avoid
threatened arrest. The wife was wet
through by the rain and, having no
change of clothing, suffered consider
ably from the exposure. Action was
brought against the railroad company,
and judgment for plaintiff was af-
firmed by the Texas supreme court.
That tribunal recognized the right of
the railroad company to close its de-
pots at reasonable times, but held
that it should not enforce its rules in
such an arbitrary and harsh manner
as to cause unnecessary hardship,
such as resulted in this instance.

His hair is of the color of filbert

downward it is more Orient of color.
somewhat curled and waved about
His shoulders. In the midst of His
head is a seam or partition of His
hair, after the manner of the Naz-

delicate; His face, without sot or
wrinkle, beautiful with comely red;
His nose and mouth exactly formed.
His beard thick, the color of His
hair, not of any great length, but
forked; His look innocent; His eyes
gray, clear and quick; in reproving,
terrible; in administering, courteous;
in speaking, very modest and wise;
in proportion of body, well shaped.
None have ever seen Him laugh, but
many have seen Him weep; a man
