taken because Iof the fact that the
outstanding indebtedness fu d,

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

1t is a mistaken idea that the proper
way to lift a full-grown cat is by the
nape of it's neck without supporting
the lower part of its 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 tiny kitten is
very different matter from a large cat
and, indeed, the only way to lift
kitten without squeezing or hurting
it's soft little body is to lift it by its
neck; but after it has grown larger its
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
cat suffers perfect tortures by being
held in this manner, and is quite help
less to run or struggle, as in such
position certain of its muscles cannot
be controlled, and it is absolutely at
the mercy of its 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.

When prominent men realize the in

are glad to lend their testimony for

inveterate coffee drinker, had been

country and took dinner with one of
the merchants of the place. l noticed
q somewhat peculiar favor of the COT
fee, and asked him concerning it. He
replied that 1t was Postum. / was SO
pleased with it that, after the meal was

Plan of Pit.

only from the pit in which he stood
to another pit that he could see in
direct line with his own, the passage
from one pit to another being always
a direct line through the dark.
AS each pit commanded a view of
two others, each man was told that if
he saw another man dressed in a diff
ferent color from himself standing in
any pit he should fire upon him at
once and kill him or the man whom he
saw would in turn shoot at him. If
any survived and got to the other side
of the maze they would be set free.
This plan having been explained to
the prisoners before the day set for
the experiment and each of them hav-
ing been provided with a plan of the
maze it appears that one of them had
studied out a plan by which they
might all escape with their lives, and
when they were placed in the pits,
the tops of which were open to the
sky, he called to the others in his own
language and was delighted to find
that they all understood him, where
upon he explained his plan and gave
the word of command to each man as
to the direction he should take. In
% moves they had safely changed
places, no red man having ever seen
a yellow man and no two men having
ever been in the same pit at the same
time.
How was this accomplished?

certain Sultan who was fond of
all manner of intricate puzzles used to
amuse himself by testing the in
genuity and resource of his prisoners
of war. Among other buildings about
his palace he had a peculiar maze,
which consisted of II pits, open to
the sky above and connected by a
series of underground passages. which
were quite dark.
Upon one occasion he caused six
prisoners to be placed in these pits,
three of them dressed in red IN the
pits numbered 3, and three more
dressed in yellow in the pits num-
bered 10, II, 12 The Sultan COM
manded his vizier to provide each of
these prisoners, who were complete
strangers to one another, with a rifle
and five cartridges, and to inform
them separately that any of them
who could escape alive under the fol
lowing conditions should be set free
and returned to his own country:
The three dressed in red were to

move at a time, upon a given signal,

the yellow. Each man could move
