Poincaire, who is generally pic- tured as stern, rigid, grave. But M. Poincaire twenty years ago in his Cabinet had a Siamese cat, which has perpetuated its species, and M. Poin- care is as fond as ever of his feline friends. He is not blind to their faults, but has expressed his pleasure in their society. "The cat," he says, "is witty, ho has verve, he knows how to do precisely the right thing at precisely the right moment. He is impulsive and faceti- ous and appreciates the value of a cast in his constituencies over the Province for which they were cast.

They assure the simple folk that they are only men in like passions or na- ture with themseleves, and then Paul proceeds to give an address suitable to the capacity of this pagan audi- ence. It was quite different from the sermon which he had delivered to the Jews at Antioch, and shows how Paul suited his words to the understanding of his hearers, Three great religious principles are mentioned which would port after making the 3,160 -mile voy- age from Cherbourg to New York in five days, three hours and seventeen minutes.

What a wonderful diplomatist the oat would have made! One detects. a certain envy in this eulogy of the ca t by NI, Poincaire. Indeed, some- where in the volumes of M. Poin- oaire's Memoirs, I remember how kindly he speaks of M. Briand in com- paring omparing him to the oat, - I recall that when M. _ Clemenceau 'went to an important' conference at London he bought a cat and named it Prudence. I do not know what has become of it. But George Montorgueil has made the happy suggestion that well-known, men and women who are lovers and owners of cats should bring their cats together without re- gard to pedigree or competitive points. This, in fact, was done a year or two ago in Paris by the artists and writers, I would like to see the idea carried out on a greater scale, with presiden- tial cats, and ministerial cats, and theatrical cats—a regular Who's Who of cats—displayed for the observer's delectation. Artists and writers are particularly fond' of oats, I never tire of looking at the cats which Steinlen drew so lovingly with such a deft pen. I like to think of Hamiicar, the guardian of the City of Books, which Anatole France described in Sylvestre Bon- nard. There was, too, Belkis which Pierre Lott named with great pomp and ceremony. Victor Hugo was the proud possessor of Chamoine; and Michelet, the historian; Sainte-Beuve, the critic; Merimee, the novelist; Gautier, the poet; Maupassant, the story -teller, and all had their cats. Barbey d'Aurevilly with Demonette, Coppee with Isabelle, Baudelafre with his feline family, have loved the cats And now in• Paris they are celebrat- ing the centenary of Hippolyte Taine, philosopher and historian, and it is good to remember that Taine, who was not often moved to poetry, wrote twelve sonnets to his three cats— Puss and Ebene, and Mitonne. "I have studied," he confessed, "many philosophers and several cats; the wisdom of the cats is vastly superior." That wisdom he discovered in their tranquility and in their meditative- ness. Without effort, the cat, gazing into the fire, or smoothing its fur, puts into practice the precepts of the sages. _y — Commander Byrd's party which will explore .the antarctic by airplane Loewenstein Body Found Belgian Financier Really Dead Mystery Cleared Up With Discovery of His Body in the English Channel 13y French Fishermen , WOUNDED TOO (Canadian Prase, gable.)
