A CHERRY.COLORED CAT
It ia said that the late P. T. Bar -
mum, the famous showrnan, once an-
mounced that he would exhibit publicly
st. a certain hour -on a certain day a
cherry -colored cat. At the specified
time a large gathering appeared. Mr.
Barnum appeared en the stage with
kis usual bland smile, holding a bunch
of ripe red cherries in his hand, and
talked for about five minutes about
cherries. Then he said, "I have been
at great trouble and much time to pro -
genre a perfect specimen of a cherry -
.Colored cat." On opening a bag out
stepped a large black cat while Mr.
33apum held up a bunch of black
cherries.
The roar of laughter that greeted
this appearance of the black-cherry-
eolored cat proved that Mr. Barnum's
'opinion that the American people
liked to be fooled had a considerable
basis in fact.
But a Companion contributor writes
be that her family once had a red -
cherry -colored cat. We had h Maltese
at named Mack, she says, who was
usually prompt at luncheon time.
One' day he did not appear, so we
called and hunted, but with no result.
Late in the afternoon a strange -look-
ing object came into the room, and a
plaintive mew told us it was Mack.
This is what had happened: The
odds and ends left after building our
house were .stored in the...attic. A-
i:tong these was a keg of red ochre
that had been used for staining the
shingles. Into this half-filled keg
poor Mack had fallen, and in his fran-
tic efforts to get put he had thrown
the powder over himself so complete-
ly that it colored every hair on his
body. He came out a genuine cherry -
colored cat.
For several weeks, while the stain
lasted, we had much delight and en-
tertainment, showing to our friends
and neighbors our cherry -colored cat.

•the sign of the *A/gs:oower
Egypt. - •
‘arthe,e baek even, than, the records
of the rgyPtiatiS; the bee is shown
tit, have been a friend of man when
he was making his first efforts to be-
come a , civifized being. Drawings
have been found on bone, dating back
numberless centuries, showing primi-
tive man engaged in, robbing a bee -
tree of its store of honey. To people
who lived on nuts and roots and such
game as they could kill with stones
and sling's, a store of wild honey must
beim been a treasure indeed. It is no
wonder that as civilization progress-
ed honey was used in ancient religious
ceremonies as an offering to the gods.
The Hindoos still place a little honey
in the mouth of each new-born infant
and in Madagascar the ceremony of
blessing children includes sprinkling
them with lieney and water. The
ancient Greeks effered honey cake as
a thanks offering to the serpent that
was supposed to guard the Acropolis
of Athens. On another continent, in
South America, honey has bean held
in the same high esteem by the ab-
origines of Peru, who offer it to the
sun.
The ancients believed that honey
was fit for. -the gods and considered
it a dish to tempt the palate of the
most -fastidious king. There is no
reasoto believe that their honey
was any better than, the honey pro-
vided by Nature with such a bounti-
ful hand in this Dominion. Most like•-
ly it was not so good, for the art of
beekeeping, with clean and sanitary
hives, had not developed as it has to-
day. Canadian hives this year have
produced a record crop of 21,000,000
pounds of honey of unusually high
quality, and Canadians can count
themselves fortunate in being able to
live like the Gods.

HER AGE, OR THEREABOUTS
She was not old, and she was not
young, and she was just a little sen-
sitive concerning her age and humor-
ously aware that 'to be so was absurd.
So she told. the census man the truth;
but she had observed that. he was
Irish an had a merry eye.
"I'm thirty-eight," she owned, with
her most ingratiating smile, "but
couldn't you shade it a little?"
"Maybe I could now," said he. "Let
me see -about thirty-eight, you say,
or somewheres thereabouts? That
might be thirtppie, belike, or maybe
thirty-four, or more like by the looks
of ye thirty-three'. Thirty-three is a
foine age for a woraiiii she's in the
fun prime at thisty-ihree. ;Thirty -
it is, ma'am, and thank ye for oblig-
ing me with the inforMatiott - It's
not every woman shows the like good
sense. , There's a person on the;ziext
street, and she considering herself' a
lady, and well brought up, I'm told;
and when I asked her age xesterday,,
says. she, 'Me age Is me own affair:,
"Maybe it is that, rria'em: sayii
'but if you'll not be telling me it'le

can and putting down the age I think
ye are' -and so did." •
