The Pet Cat.

Cats need careful feeding, and 1t Is
not generally believed hat they can
and will Gf taught eat green veger
tables. They should be given these
In the form of cabbage, cauliflower
and asparagus once every day, and
that at noon.
Strangely enough. the pet cats heavi-
est meal, consisting of four ounces of
meat, should be given at night, and it
should invariably be run through a
chopper. Potatoes are excluded from
the diet of all we'll cared for cats, but
sardines are given twice a week and
only in cold weather.
Cats have Individual tastes that may
be gratifed within reason. The ord1-
nary American cat-and it is more sat
isfactory than the Angora-may even
be given peaches or currants or ocoa
nut. These are mentioned because
they were the peculiar dainties most
liked by a cat Of the writer's acquatnt-
ance.
All of the cats milk Is boiled and
given warm and we'll diluted, and last
but very important, a daily supplysof
fresh water and green grass is abso-
lutely necessary.

ESCAPES
BEING STRUCK
y. BY A TRAIN

An automobile containing two
women and a man, had a narrow es-
cape from being struck by a train on
the Staten Island Rapid Transit
railroad at the Amboy avenue cross
ing at Pleasant Plains, about 1916
O'Clock last night. The train which
was due in Tottenville at 8:43
O'Clock, was running late. 1t was in
charge of Conductor Ford and Engi-
neer White, both of T%ottenville. The
automobile, which was a Maxwell
touring car, had come over from
Perth AmbOy and was on its way
across the island to New York. The
man who vas driving the ar, to
avoid being struck by the engine,
dashed into an electric light pole of
the Richmond Light Company, in
front Of the Richerlieu hotel. The
front axle of the machine was bent
and part of me of the head lights
was broken. There Is a hill at this
crossing but no gateman alter {
O'Clock at night 1t was raining at
the time and nearly all of the cur
tains on the machine were down,
which prevented the driver from
hearing the approach of the train.
The name Of the parties in the ma
chine could not be learned. After
repairs, 1t sped on toward New
York.

Oriuin of Eticuette,

The French word etiquette" really
means a label" or ticket" How,
then, ONE it to denote conventional
forms Of ceremony"
1t is said that d certain Scottish gar
dener In charge of Louis XIY.'s gar
den at Versailles was very much put
out because the courtiers walked over
his beds. To keep off these trespassers
he placed labels or tickets+"eti-
quettes'-at various spots, with in
structions as to the proper path. AT
first the naughty courtiers did not
deign to notice these ~placards, but q
hint from high quarters that their
walks in future must be within the
~'etiquettes' compelled their obedience.
Thus, according to the story, origi-
mated our present use of the word 'eti'
quette."

RAINING CATS AND DOGS.
Various Explanations of the Origin OF
This Expression.

Various Explanations of the Origin Of
This Expression.
Many explanations have been given
of the origin of the expression raining
cats and dogs" One is that 1t Is a per-
version Of the French ''catadoupe,'.a
waterfall-'it Is raining a c~atadoupes,"y
or cataracts. Another explanation Ia
that the male blossoms of the willow
tree. which are used on Palm Sunday
to represent the branches. of palm,
were called eats and dogs" In some
parts of England, where they increase
rapidly after a few warm April show
ers, and the belief prevailed that the
rain brought them
Others trace the saying to northern
mythology, In which the cat is said to
have great influence on the weather.
and sailors still have a saying. The
cat has a gale Of wind in her TAIL"
when she is unusually frisky. Witches
that rode upon the storms were said
to assume the form of cats, and the
stormy northwest wind Is called 'the
cats nose" In the Harz mountains
even at the present day. Then the dog
is q symbol of wind, which In old Ger
a pictures Is figured rs the head OF
a dog O wolf from which blasts issue.
The cat therefore symboIizes a down
pour Of rain; the dog, strong gusts OF
wind. which accompany 1t. and SO Z
rain "of cats and dogs is a heavy rain
with wind.

Destructive French Mountain Blaze.
Lake George, n. Y, Aug. 3.-For the
second time this summer a forest fire
of serious proportions has broken out
OF French mountain opposite Lake
George village. The blaze is attrib-
uted TO lightning which struck several
trees on the mountain during a storm

supervisor of the town of Caldwell,
have combated night and day with
the flames, which are subdued at
night, but are famed beyond control
by the winds during the day. Recent
rains have had little effect on the
blaze. Supervisor Wood estimates the
burned area at 1000 acres, and the
