Cats in Monasteries.

Monasteries and converts seem nat
urally to befriend cats. When Sir
Henry Layard was at Mount Athos in
1845 he noticed the number of huge,
fat, overfed cats" kept by the monks.
One popularity struck him. The cats
were almost as tailless as If they were
Manx, but evidently by artificial
means. "On asking for an explana-
ton of it, | was informed by the
monks that as their meals were served
to them on trays placed. Turkish
fashion, on low stools, round which
squatted those who ate, the cats,
which were constant guests at dinner
and breakfast, were in the habit of
sweeping off the viands and the wine
glasses with their tails, which were
consequently locked"

There were-let me see, there were
Cousin Jasper Haynes, Cousin Maria
Haynes, Cousin Thomas and Saman'

not to mention Grandpa and Grandma
Chittenden. They lived in Washing

Grandpa Chittenden was Civil war
pensioner, and in the middle part OF
his incredibly long life he had found
oil, | believe. Anyway, he was reput-
ed awfulIy rich, rich enough to make
all his grandsons and great-grand-
daughters, which means Lucy, wealthy
for life. And he was eighty-seven
years old, and Grandma eighty-tive.
Titled was not the place that one
would choose to live in. 1t was a
little New England town, very Saba
tartan, no-license, amateur fire brigade
you know the style. Some folks
might like it, of course, but, frankly,
we Hayneses and Biggses and the
rest of us lived there because we had
been born there, and we were too poor
to move away.
That is, till grandpa died. Every
year each of us would receive a let
ter from him on the anniversary OF
the battle of Gettysburg, in which he
lost leg. I'm growing very feeble

The letters hardly varied. We used
to compare them to see If one was
more affectionate than the others, but
we never found anything much tc
build our hopes upon.
Cousin Jasper wanted enough mon
ey to settle in Florida and grow or

thousand, more or less, to buy home
in California. Cousins Biggs were
thinking of tour in Europe. Lucy

Well, according to the following rule,
it spells-it spells-Do you give it up?
1t spells potato, viz: gh stands for p,
