1t was in the afternoon, and Mrs Jen-

bill collectors calling at the same
time. In the suburbs bill collectors
only call In the morning. Otherwise
life on the outskirts would be un-
bearable.

the Jarrs had been welcomed on the

had declared they were out for sun

In the temple OF Bubastls cats
were treated as sacred animals; at
death they were embalmed and safely
stored In tombs. while history records
that Cambyses stormed and captured
Memphis with brigade Of cats used
as projectlles, upon which the city
incontinently gave up the fight and
surrendered.
In Rome several centuries later tho
cat gave the first evidence OF pred
atory instincts and his value as a
mice destroyer. Agathicus. whose
pet partridge had been killed and
eaten by cat, denounces him as
one OF the devouring dogs OF Actaeon.
Pliny and Palladius praise him for
his destruction OF mice and rats.
while Caesars soldiers carried the
faces OF cats emblazoned ON their
banners.
But the era of superstitution which
set In with the mediaeval ages was
fatal to the cats popularity, his
gradual fall from high estate dating
from this time. Through nearly six
centuries the animal which had once
been worshipped as a divinity was
now treated as an exponent OF dark
ness. In nearly every weird legend OF
these times a black cat figures as the
agent OF evil. A story generally ac-
cepted down TO the middle OF the
twentieth century was that when
Satan desired 10 disturb the peace OF
mankind he assumed the form OF a
black tomcat. In Germany. England
and France during the Middle Ages It
was usual to wind up a religious cele-
bration by throwing a cat from q
height TO the road below.
Among the many popular fallacies
accepted by unlettered and ignorant
persons is one that a cat can see bet.
