'To ;make a long story short, Mr. Miner Caught seven fathers that day. 'Every'oneof those old English spar- Te:WES:'. had heard the 'nestlings' cries of distreas-and had.garee In:feed them. "'hie it happens ` that, taught by the seven fathers, Mr.; Miner credits these unpopular birds with one good trait. • f 7. . ; • 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.

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. 5it5; „f; 2.hr- ,„ _444 4 42/ ,, r toter i ,.: p.-arY..br!a15;''.:,4n4il .4t4044tr . ,,,140003ot:Ootberst " 'in 40 Wise ,o„:, a 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.
