HERE IS THE PERFECT" CAT
Expert Describes the Points Which
Constitute the Standard Type
Of Feline.

Catastrophe came to many cats OF
all classes at the annual exhibit Of the
Los Angeles (Cal.) Cat club.
Here is Mrs. de Bins description
Of the perfect or standard cat:
The perfect type Of male must
have a large round head. small ears
set far apart, and large, round eyes.
He should be set low on his legs, and
the upper joints Of the legs should be
short. The male should have large,
strong legs, and the broad chest Of the
bulldog. He should have general
stocky build. Colors vary with the diff.
ferent classes. The nose should be
stub, and the tail, when extended over
the back, should not reach farther
than the shoulder joint. In general.
the brush should be short and thick,
aud in proportion to the build. The
same characteristics are required for
females. except that the rugged frame
of the male is not essential.
"A tabby cat is a cat with mark.
ings, either Of stripes or blotches, in
light or dark shades. The name comes
from the old Persian word Atabe,
meaning watered silk"

Where Women Work.

The smallest dependency of France
is the lie d'Hoedle, situated at the
east Of Belle Isle. Its population is
two hundred and thirty-eight They
do not speak French, except the cure
and the school master, but Celtic,
and they are provided with food at an
inn managed by the women. Fishing
is the principal industry. The profits
are divided up each year among the
inhabitants. The men live on SOUP and
fish, and smoke pipes with lobster
claws for stems. The women do all
the hard work-get in the harvest,
look out for wreckage, and gather
seaweed. from which they extract
soda. The town has no streets. The
houses are Of mud. The islanders
have a yearly feast in the early part
OF October. The island possesses a
good water supply The governing
body is composed of the ten ancients
OF the place, under the direction Of

In Kansas, as has been we'll said,
"it is the ideas of the Pilgrims, not

Ideas, sometimes, as we'll as the star

happens that Kansas is more Puritan
than New England of TO-DAY. Il is
what New England, Old England IL
self, once waS-the frontier, an ever
changing spot where dwell the cour-
ageouS who defy fate and conquer
circumstances. For the frontier is
more than a matter of location. and
Putitanism itself is a kind of frontier.
There is an intellectual "WeSt" as
we'll as a territorial West"
Kansas is not a community Of
which can be said, Happy is the
people without annals" 1t is a state
with past. 1t has a history Of

which they insist, as a matter Of
course, upon having taught in the
public schools. There are Old
Families in Kansas who know their
place and keep it-sacred bearers Of
the traditions of the Kansas Struggle
