Cats in Ancient Times.

Innumerable efigies of cats are to be
seen in the ruins OF ancient Egypt,
painted, s%culptured, cast in bronze and
modelled. They appear on the walls Of
the temples, on the lids Of sarcophagi,
on CONS and on papyrus. In the sands
OF Egypt they are found by thousands,
and the mummied remains of creatures
that were once alive and full of capri
cious gayety are bounu as carefully as
q dead princess or a magician with re-
sin soaked bands of plated papyrus.
In Rhodes, in Thebes, and in the
desert the cat was embalmed and bur
led with great pomp. A new era and
new belief lost her her worship. But
in certain countries the cat has always
preserved her legendary dignity. The
Mussulman remembers that Mohammed
when ready to pray, had his sl.eve cut
off to avoid disturbing his cat, who was
sleeping close to his breast.
At the time of the Crusades the cat
appeared in western Europe. Later,
in the seventeenth century, the cat
was tortured on the eve Of st. John
and at other times by an ignorant and
cruel people. But gradually, by the
power of her caressing tenderness and
grateful attachment to her friends, she
won a place among men, and the object
of the v%eneration of ancient Egypt in
simulated herself into the intimacy of
writer's, thinkers, women, artists, and
people of critical tastes. Her silence
and the grave and insistent persuasive
ness with which she imposes her So
ciety upon the companions CT her
choice attract and hold the people of ali
countries. In, the eighteenth and nine
teenth centuries the rehabilitated cat
entered literature under the auspices
Of all the writer's. Apart from rare
exceptions, due to natural antipathy,
the prediction of writers for cats is
general. Every real literary man has
his familiar cat rolled in a ball, pursu-
ing his flying pen with wary eyes or
following it with light and discreet
side pats. The cat is not a traitor. In
some cases she is even more faithful
than the dog. Affection for her friends
is instructive, and so also are her neat
ness, her coquetry end her modesty.
In all weathers and in all company she
her fur and her face. A trained
cat prefers to make her toilette before
a mirror. Mans love for his cat is
free from snobbery. The Persian cat,
the cat of China, or the ~tailless Manx
may be the object of our admiration or
our establishment; the common cat Of
our own household is the object of our
love. Camoens was too poor to buy a
candle; he had no light but the lumin-
Gus eyes of his cat on the night when
he wrote his chant Of the Lusiad. Idle
ness and agility dwell together under
the velvet pelt Of the cat; and her
savage atavism is linked with gracious
and grateful civility. Her ways are
strange and contradictory. She creeps
through the night like a shadow,
springs from the darkness as if electri-
fed, and lies in the torrid heat like d
worshipper of the sur. -Harper's
