When Cat Meets Dag.
Most of the instinctive actions of
domesticated animals may be traced
back to what they did in the days
when they roamed wild, and were
forced to defend themselves at a mo-
ment's notice. ,
For example, even a Pomeranian
dog will turn roundand round before
curling up to go to sleep—a reversion
to the days when its ancestors had tq
trample down the grass in order to
make a bed for themselves.
The instinctive arching of a cat's
• back when it meets a dog with which
it is not on friendly terms is an indi-
cation that the cat has recognized - its
traditional enemy. • It assumes an in-
voluntary position of -defence against
the expected attack. The fact that
the cat is terrified is apparent by the
bristling of the fur, while arching the
hack brings the feet close together,
and . gives the claws a firmer grip on,
the ground, thus permitting exception -
ally rapid movement in any direction
,Moreover, . the cat knows ins•tinc
tively that the dog'will seek to sink
Its teeth in the back of its neck, so it
withdraws its head as far as possible.

They Liked Leeks. ,
It is owing to the fondness of the
Celtic tribes for the leek that their
descendents, the Welsh, retain it as
an emblem of their nationality.
The leac or leek was an important
table vegetable among the Anglo-Sax-
ons, for they called their gardens
leac-gardens," and the gardener was
a "leek -ward."
As other- species of sae sante tribe
were introduced into the country, they
also were called "leeks," with a pre-
fix denoting some peculiarity of the
plant. Thus, garlic was formerly "gar-
' leac," or "the» leek with a spear," from
• the spear -like stem and head -of the
I seed pod. The onion was "enue-leac,"
or "one -leek," because it did not
throw off side -bulbs. - -

Of her children sternly minded that their duty should be donne?..
