PUSS IN HISTORY.
The Cat Hu Been an Important Porsonage
In Many Nation*.
Mis? Pus-v rot only boasts an
iimcDl history. but as far tank as
niMory p>e> rin* i.as boi ri ij iite an
niportant jHTsonajre. The Kiryprians
reverenced eats. They bad a
hospital for -i U kitten", arid such
is died w? re embalmed and buried
with ninth ceremony. Mourning
wa- also worn by the family to ;
mhom the Mooted kitten.belonged. I
J'hi? mourn in;: was not Mack
lot'.i v (.tit shaved evt'inows.
Though the Kgyptians do not do J
quite -o much in those days, tiicy !
till think a great deal <if cuts. \
They !,;;vc-a high officer called fai}ior
of eats, and near < *air<? is a |
building where every day a feast is
=;<re;.(i. to which are in\:ted ail the
i;t? of the city. No doubt vo.t
have heath the story of Camhy-es
oming to tight th.e Kgyptians and
taking advantage of tli?-ir reverence
f.ir cats by fastening before every
-oldiu's breast a live < at (>? course
lite Ivr-pban- dared not hurt the-o
rats, and <o they were conquered.
The Chinese are likewise fond of
rats. ht:t. -;;il to say for the eats, it
is in stew.
Tn I?'o;t:e and also in London tho
owners of eats pay a man a certain
sum of money monthly, and every
day he walks through the streets
uttering a peculiar cry. All eats
know him and come from all direction
to get their dinner. He is
called "the eats* meat man." Cats
haw always been highly valued in
Wales. They art- kt-f?t about granaries
to eatrh rats. In the old days
anybody >tCii!ii:?r one of these < ats
had to gi\e for her a sheep or a
lamb. Should the eat ehanee to be
killed *he was hung up by the tail
until her head touched the floor
and wheat poured o\er her until the
tip of her tail va< covered. All this
wheat the thief had to give to the
at".- owner.
'I'lie I n:tej States government
keeps more than .'100 eat- in the
po-toi'Vue department to guard the
ma is from rat1- and mice. Re fore
th? -e eats were employed valuable
lett.-rs \wr? often destroyed. These
pu?ies are well led. >'l" a year being
a.lov. i | f??r em-h cat's meat.
The d;.;?.\ne-e frighten away their
mi e and r..t- with china eats.
These are made so lifelike that
when a candle is placed in-ide the
iig ires tlie mice imagine them to be
real eat- and run for their lives.?

How the Lantern Wu InventedKing
Alfred the Great is credited
with originating the lantern. He
was so bothered by the candle
flames blowing in the wind that he
protected them by putting the candles
in cow horns, which he ordered
to be scraped thin. Our grandfathers
made lanterns by punching
holes and slits in properly shaped
pieces of tin, which were then soldered
together. The light whkh
came through the little cuts was always
rery dim and flickering. It
waa this kind of lantern which the
old town watchmen used to caT?y
when they went about calling the
hours and the weather in rhyme:

14 acres in lettuce, under canvas and

it is absolutely necessary to health
that we give relief to the stomach
promptly at the first sign9of trouble
? which are belching of gas, nausea,
sour stomach, headache, irritability
and nervousness. These are
warnings that the stomach has been
mistreated; it is doing too much
work and it is demanding help from

like Kodol for Dyspepsia and
Indigestion. It will enable your
stomach to do its work pioperlv.
