CLEVER BIRDS AND ANIMALS
Magpies and Cats Possess Unusual In.
misunderstanding Tale Of
Kitten and Tom Cat.

Magpies are as clever as they are
noisy. One was offered an extinguish-
ed cigar stump which it began to tear
apart. But apparently changing it's
mind, the bird proceeded to rub the
stump, held in it's beak, over every
part of Its body, including the wings,
in most careful and methodical man.
ner. The experiment was subsequent
ly repeated many times, always with
the same result. The maybe is so
fond of tobacco that it repeatedly has
snatched lighted cigar from a mans
hand against his will It also picks
up fallen cigar ashes and strews them
over it's feathers.
1t is thought that these actions
have a purpose, the destruction of par
asites, and are determined by atavism,
or inherited instinct. In the wild
state some unidentified plant must
have been used as an insecticide in
stead Of tobacco. The magpie's action,
furthermore, seems to be an unques-
tionable instance of the use of tools
by lower animal.
Cats, too, are famously clever. A
kitten about six months old was taken
to house a few miles from its birth
place, confined in room, and tender
ly cared for during week, and then
set at liberty. 1t was supposed to
have become accustomed to it's new
surroundings, but 1t returned to its
old home on the day of its release.
The sense of locality and direction
was exhibited still more strikingly by
an old tom cat Which was stolen and
carried distance of 20 miles, con.
fined in bag. The cav was imprison-
ed. but made its. escape, and in few
days reappeared in a pitiable state
at the home of its former master,
which was separated from that of the
thief by high wooded cliff.

All of the famous dressmak ers have
a liking for touch of pink chiffon

touch of flesh pink from a distance
gives a rather startling effect of ex-

the case. and there is no denying that
the soft, delicate pink softens the pro-

it nears the face more subtly and quite
