Some idea of their size at this stage is in- dicated by the fact that an or- dinary teaspoon will accommo- date a litter of eighteen newborn babes with a little room to spare. Those who may doubt the auth- enticity of this statement may re- fer to a picturr in the August 1930 issue of Nature Magazine wherein there appeared a pic- ture showing a teaspoon Contain -a ing eighteen tine 'possums.

P%. sl Answer Eisen, heti e on This Page Modern Etiquette It. If a roan is.,lv0itflug a very soft felt hat, is 1t really necessary for him to tip this to a wortian. by removing it from, his head or Islet raterely louchine the brim ail right In ibis case? A. A man who merely touch- es the' brirn of his fiat is just "going through the motions" of courtesy. To be correct, he should take his hat by the crown, instead Of the brim, liftthe hat slightly from his head, reed then replace it. Q. What. should . the . Aside - groom and his best man do with their gloves while the ceremony Is taking place? A. The bridegroom removes his right glove and holds it in his left hand, The best man does not remove his gloves, Q. is it necessary that a guest unfold bio napkin entirely when placing le on his lap? A. ThL is neither necessary nor proper. It should be only half unfolded. Q. Is it necessary that the bridal couple acknowledge a tele- gram of congratulations receiv- ed on the day of their wedding'? A. This does not necessitate the usual note of thanks required by a gift, but the first time either of the couple meets the sender of the telegram, a few words of appreciation should h e ex- pressed. Q. Is it all right for a person to insist upon giving a tip in a restaurant which obse.ves the "no tipping" rule? A. No: It is not only unnec- essary to give the tip; but it is inconsiderate to the management for one to insist upon breaking rules. Q. Should a guest smoke at the dinner table in a home, if the hostess has not provided ash trays? A. .It is better to refrain from any smoking until ash trays are put on the table. It may he that the hostess objects to smoking at her table -and most certainly you must never be guilty of flicking any ashes on her din- nerware. Q. Is it good form to address a wedding invitation to "Mr. and Mrs. John. J. Smith and Daugh- ter"? A. Never. If the daughter is old enough to be invited to the wedding, she is old enough to re- ceive a separate invitation. Q. Should the dessert spoon or fork be placed on the table with the rest of the implements that are necessary for a meal? A. No; they are brought in on the dessert plate after the other dishes have been removed from the table. Do You Possess That "Sixth Sense"? When Mr. Winston Churchill was a war correspondent dut•ing the South African War he was taken prisoner by the Boers. He escaped, and made his way by night through enemy territory towards the British lines. Finally lie was driven by des- perate needto approach a house for food and shelter. The house Ire selected proved to be the only one in the entire community where he would not have been handed: over to the enemy. What strange power helped to guide him to a friendly house that night? It could have been a coincidence, but Mr. Church- ill himself does not think so. It was more likely to have been that faint and elusive quality which scientists call ESP - Extra Sensory Perception, This is the little-known faculty which can guide lost animals home across hundreds) of miles of un- known country - the misnamed "sixth sense," and the explana- tion of a good deal of intuition, In many laboratories, both sides of the Atlantic, a great many normal, average people have been tested for their ability to identify hidden objects without the help of their normal senses. One of the standard tests is known as "card -dealing." In this, the subject is asked to identify the order of cards one by one as they are removed from a hid- den pack. Often the results of these tests are barely good enough to prove that anything more than chance is at work. But the experiments are so carefully controlled that the speetaeular Scores which are made from time to time can be produced only by other than ESP. The results of thesetests, con- firmed by one laboratory after another in dozens of experiments, leave no doubt that some people, have this, strange ability to guide themselves to the right response. without the use of the senses. So far, most of the proof for the existence of ESP hes come from animals. Without any great powers of reasoning t0 Confuse them, they can follow blindly the With of instinct, often with results that human beings find it impossible to imitate. ese- HRONICLES iNgERF.y1 It seems only a few months ago since I was. writing New 'Year greetings for'1952 and here I ani again wishing you another happy new year. ...Ur this tele for 1953 . . : and I hope, it will be a Happy New 'Year for every- one, with all the good memories of 1952 'carried over to '53, and all the unpleasant memories -for- gotten - that is far the better way, isn't it? Perhaps last year was a hard year, and yet, in spite of upset world conditions, and of our own personal problems, we all have some pleasant mem- ories that we can wrap around ourselves like warm, defensive .garments against the chilly winds winds of life. Some of my pleasant mem- ories are connected with the Christmas greetings that conte to me from many readers of this column, some of whom send their good wishes year after year as regularly as Chlistmes comes around. It gives me a great en- couragement and I am very grateful for the kindly interest that is taken in this column. And so, dear reader -friends, in case I do not get a chance to write to each one of you person- ally, yill you please accept my thanks for all your kind thoughts - and I hope you will let. me visit you in your home each week for yet another year.. I suppose most of you people either went away for Christmas and New Year's or had your family visiting .you. We. had Daughter and her husband; Bob, recently home from Alberta, and two friends, who are still stav- ing with us. Just a nice little family' gathering. But T will tell you more about our Christ -inn One Nice FOfnt-Jean Paradise, holds a form that places many harried taxpayers in a condition that they doecribe by other feriets than "Paradise." .It is the tele' sal!dated intorno fax booklet for 1932, which is firing distributed ley the tl.e, to all taxpayers. later on. It may; be old news be- fore you get it but it doesn't do any harm at all to stretch out Christmas memories for at least a few weeks into the new year. Christmas and New Year's are too good a time to be celebrated and then forgotten overnight, About a week' before Christ- mas I spent the better part of two days in Toronto while the other Gwen who is staying with us kept house.' When I got home almost the first thing I heard was this: "Nest time you go away you had better take your blessed kitten with you. He was ail over the house, crying and looking for yott everywhere. He just wouldn't settle down - we didn't have any peace at all!" And yet some folk would have us belive that cats are incapable of showing 'affection for anyone. Or. course, after being so lone- some, you would naturally sup- pose that 1Vlitchie White would be completely ovei'joyed when I returned. Not a bit of it, his feelings were too deeply hurt for that. I had gone away and left him so he took his own time to be friendly again. He tolerated being stroked and petted but showed his displeasure by sulk- ing and refusing to purr the way he generally does. It was not un- til the next day that he was really friendly again. The other Gwen says she had a. cat who used to act the very same. "Very different from a dog," says she, "no matter whether you are away a day or a month, a dog never sulks - he is always glad to see you back and gives you an efeusive doggy welcome!" That, T must admit, is true of our dogs also. Tippy and .Honey are a funny pair. Tippy would leave a juicy bone rather than be ]eft behind if any of us were going out. Honey, if she hap- pened to be out, would forsake all her friends, if she so much as'beard a dish rattle. She looks at you with her pleading spaniel eyes as if she had the most soul- ful thoughts and all the�tite you know very well all -she is worrying about is her stomach. So, one only has to give her a few table scraps and she .is your friend for life. But she has some interesting little habits too. We generally have the evening paper delivered'at night - just thrown out somewhere near the mail- box. We just say to Honey, "Fetch'the paper" and away she goes, down to the road, looks first this way and then that un- til she finds it. Then away she paper held firmly in her mouth. She brings it proudly to the -house and waits for her reward - a little dog biscuit. We call these biscuits "cookies" and if anyone mentions cookie in her presence, her ears go up - es. much as a spaniel's can - and her eyes take on such a bright, alert look - in tact, she does everything but speak in human language. ,We]1, that's all for now, ex- cept once again to wish you all A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR. OSTRICH EICICS OSTRICH TO IbIIATH Visitors . to London Zoo know nothing of the queer ways . some of the inmates there sometimes, meet theft' deaths, An ostrich was kicked to death by another ostrich last year, 'keys a 'report of the Zoo pathologist. A num- ber of Spanish burrowing voles burrowed so thoroughly that they went clean through into the Zoo's water supply --and were drowned! But lest year's most "shame- ful" death, according to the pa- thologlst, . occurred when a ,, _ tor jabbed at a hanging fruit hat with his lighted cigarette.

It belongs to a wo- man living in Cornwall, and its queer crinkly coat -,tire fur is less than half an inch long in any peace -is exciting the interest of cat breeders all over the world. This strange cat (unlike the sad -looking tabby about) has a wild animal look and walks with a stealthy lope. It is believed to be the 'only one of its kind. It was one of a litter of five born some months ago. The other four kittens were normal -coated, but THE cat was, in the words of a famous cat geneticist, "born wavy and has never altered." Like curly -headed people, his hair is mueh more wavy in wet weather than in dry. The woman who owns him is keeping her name secret because she does not want to part with him. Cat breeders trope they will be given the opportunity of re- producing the crinkly -coat type. The cat's mother was a normal - furred tortoiseshell; the father unlmown. Experts have noted that the cat is .much more fierce than other types of cat. One has suggested that he may be a throw- back to a type that existed in Cornwall centuries ago. the bank's plablic liabilities Liquid assets amount to $1,710,- , 921,629 which is equal to 85.8%, of the bank's liabilities to the, public.
