One of these, Miss Katie perfectly stunning knotted' with the for the total abolition of the custom, The origin of -this custom was the pious desire of dedicating a child to a god.. Though 'exclusively an aborig- inal and Dravilian practice, it was slightly analogousto the custom pre- vailing among the pagan Romans who consecrated 'vestal virgins to the tem- ' pies, • Such virgins lived a pure life, were herd in high esteem, and respected. They were allowed, on reaching ma- ' turity, either to continue this service of the gods or to abandon it and -re- turn to ordinary life, In course of time, however, the pious object of their calling was lost sight of, the essential condition of their purity and' the rectitude of their conduct came to be ignored; and they fell into loose life.

Once it took the form of resentment, but the fierce' red of this. resentment, like so many. other" resentments, has faded into the softer shades of pity and regret. As some- one has said, "their antipathy is their misfortune." Some unfortunate teach.- !ng in ebildhood has caused them to relegate cats to the outer darkness, In so doing they have missed much. Where cats are opneerned, the world is divided into three classes: those who hate them, those who toler- ate them for their usefulness, and those who love them for themselves. Which proves that cats are citizens, for this is true' of all of us. We are either hated, loved, or tolerated. The capacity of cats for friendly companionship is one of their most lovable traits. One wonders 1f, in jungle days, the first domesticated gat was chosen out of all the other in - h bit t f thejungle to receive the a 'an'a O rattling that the cat was right. Others, bitterly resenting what they termed the "airs" of his iusignifioant crea- ture, formed themselves into the An. dent Order of Cat Haters, and their descendants still show the ancient re- sentment, and still persist In assert- ing that cats are dangerous, migrate- ful, obnoxious creatures, thousands The cat has existed for of years, as far back as human lang- uage can be traced, the word: 'cat' is found, In old french and German; in Latin, Greek, and Gaelic; in the lang- uage of accent Egypt, the cat is named. ata says Sisley Hud - "I love all c NO.

Roup and colds In poultry are com- mon ailments during the winter -time on many farms. Much of this trouble can often be avoided. When roosts are on a slant the birds always try to get on the top two or three roosts. The lower roosts will often be entire- ly vacant. This tends to crowd the birds together so that they become very warm during the night. In the morning as the birds get down ou the floor their bodies cool of very rapidly. Colds and roup are much more com- mon in houses where the birds are crowded together on the roost. Level roosts will help in avoiding this trou- ble. The roosts should be four feet above the floor for the heavy breeds, and four and one-half feet from the floor for th'e light breeds. Girls will be. girls --and so will their grandmothers. Minard's Liniment is good for colds.
