Chicago News I he cat is mentioned in litem, till? more frequently thun any otlr r animal, hut the refer nee* ire not alwtvsof an effectionaie nature. Buffon says: "The cat is an unfaithful animal, kept only from necessity in order to sup press a less domestic und more unpleasant one, nod, though these animals are pretty creatures, especially when they are young, they huve a treacherous and pre verse disposition which increases with age and is only disguised by training. They are inveterate thieves; only when they are well brought up they become as flattering and cunning as human jascals." Shakespeare also makes sovcrul unkind remarks about cats "Hang off, thou cat, thou burr, thou vile thing!" cries Lysander in "A Midsummer Night's Dreum." Scottish cats wore accused of witchcraft as far back as 1591. In that year when King James of Scotland was crossing from Denmark a great temptest arose at sua. This was supposed to have been caused by a "christened cat" being placed in the vessel by witchse, The following is an extract' from an old pamplet: Again it is confessed that the said christened cat was the cause that the kings majesties shippe had a contraries wind to the rest of the shippes in his companie, for when tbo rest of the shippes had a fair and good wind, then was the windecentrarie and altogether against his majestie." Mahomet did not give encouragement to those who ban the cat from the company of honest folk. A cat, it is said, once went to sleep on the sleeve of the prophet's robe. When the hour of prayer arrived Mahomet, so the story goes, cut away his sleeve in order that the cat should be undisturbed. Scotch peasants believe that n cat scraping is a sign that some beast?herse, cow, pig or dog? will be found dead on the farm before long. A cat washing its face portends ram next day: turning its back to the fire portends storms and rain.
