"I have every reason for being here,” said the Ocelot cat. “Well,” saiii the Margay cat, “I'm a very small cat anil I have no greater size to brag about limn an ordinary cat behind a kitchen stove. Still I am In the zoo.” “Ordinary cats aren't always be hlnd kitchen stoves,” said the They Watch for <|f th(, Birds. „ , , time, said the Margay cat. “you will find them there.” “You’re an ignorant creature," said the Ocelot. “And why, pray tell?” asked the Margay cat. “Because ordinary cats often sit un der the trees. They watch for birds. They aren't always under stoves at all. Besides In this hot weather, they’re trying to he cool and not hot ter. “Often, too, ordinary cats are look ing Into garbage tins and getting things to eat—if they find what they want. And, too. ordinary cats are often sitting on beautiful soft cushions in beautiful drawing rooms.” “Beautiful soft cushions and beauti ful drawing rooms,” snarled the Mar gay eat. “It’s absurd to hear you talk. You have the idea you are very wise." “I know I’m right. I've heard chil dren talking about eats who came to the zoo," said the Ocelot cat. “Oats who came to the zoo?” asked the Margay cat. “No, children who came to the zoo were talking about cats.” said the Oce lot cat. '•Then pray say what you mean and express yourself better," said the Mar gay cat. “Instead of putting the back part of your sentence where the front part should he. and mixing up the words so no one can understand what you mean.'' “You’ve a very eross, snarly na ture.” “Ah, I'm a cat, and so are you," said the Margay cat. “You happen to be feeling in a more purring sort of mood than I do. that’s all.” “Yes, I wouldn’t say you were very pleasant.” “You don’t have to say so: I wouldn't waste the time and effort to say so If I were you,” said the Margay cat. “Still, I don't see why I am in the zoo. “Of course It Is true I have fin round spots which are Interesting. And they say I am rare anil that my very smallness Is interesting." “That’s what they say, and so that is why you are in the zoo." said the Ocelot cat. “Now I have a lot of in teresting things about me. I mine from South America. I'm considered large for my species, or big family, or consulship, or whatever you want to cal' it.” “I don’t care about calling it any thing in particular.” said the Margay cat. “Well.” said the Ocelot cut, “I mean i what one would call It If one wanted 1 to speak about It.” "I can’t Imagine who would whip to,” said the Margay cat. “Now don’t be rude.” said the Oce lot cat. snarling. “Pooh, don’t put on such fine and j mighty airs," said the Margay cat. “I don’t. I'm a modest creature. And you have nothing to boast of. A Jaguar would not think anything of eating you. “He wouldn’t think any more of you than a child would of a small piece of cake." “That’s a good deal,” smiled the Ocelot, “and no matter what you may say I know I am o handsome, spotted cat, and I think I look like a leopard. I do.” “No one can 1 stop you from “Now, Dont thinking, I sup- Rude." pose,” said the Margay cat, yawning. “But I must have a nap.

A« seasoning Is one of the tine arts of cookery It is wise to have on hunt! na variety to use in vary ing the flavor of the or dinary dishes. Keep a package of hay leaves to season meats and sauces; often a mere speck will be all that is needed to flavor a dish. Bay leaves like garlic should be used with miserly care. Both are most delightful flavors if not overdone. A bottle of kitchen bouquet, catsups of various kinds, chili powder, curry powder, tabasco and Worcestershire sauce, paprika, celery salt with the dozens of flavor lurhs. may till be a par* of one's equipment at small ex pense, for nearly all will last for years in a small family. Scnld a dish in which fl-h has been cooked with a little vinegar and wa ter. then wash with soap soda. Shine up tin- old rubbers by using a wash of ammonia. A fresh blood stain may he removed front a garment If rubbed with dry starch and let it dry; then brush and the stain will mine out with the starch. A fine way to ch an gloves is tn moisten Hour with gasoline anti wash the gloves on the hands, rubbing as if with soap anti water.

Coal collars of velvet and velvet huts may be cleaned by using corn meal and gasoline, rubbing the snaked lucal well into the pile of the velvet then brushing briskly to raise the nap.
