Cats at Best Are
Most Deceiving
- "Critters"
Cats in a home are? either pets or
pcsis. i aepenas upon the cat and
upon the family the cat has adopt
ed. No Other Dhrase
cording to those who cultivate or
are cultivated by this particular
species of domesticated carnivorae.
It must always be a compromise.
The man or woman who says he
understands a cat is due ft get badly
scratched
Some M the world's earliest
known artists drew i cat when they
drew Clebpatra. History tells us
that this siren "vamped" two genera
tions, of Caesars, but it fails to rec
ord what the effect of all .this .was
upon the cat. Through repeated re
productions upon canvas, stage and
screen we have become fairly
familiar . with what probably were
the wileSj of the woman, but her
familiarity still remains a mystery
,i.ven unto this generation.
Biologically we are told the cat
of the fireside is a direct descendant
of the tiger, the panther, the cougar
even of the lion. When we half
close our eyes as the coals die in
the grate and the big, tawny pet
raises himself in a prolonged yawn
and stretch, we can believe, all of
that and more.
Once outside, the most domestic
of cats will revert to type faster than
a young man with an unlimited ex
pense accounts They will sleep all
evening in purring dreams before' a
respectable fireplace and go out into
the night while the family sleeps to
kill rabbits and bring half of one
home to a clandestine family hidden
under the woodshed. They will rend
the hand that caresses and caress the
hand that chastises. No one knows
) exactly what they will do next.
The most famous cat story in the
world is that of the feline animal
which was the mascot of the old
battleship Maine when it was blown
up in Havana harbor. This particu
lar cat is said to have been found
the morning after the explosion
perched upon one of the davits which
protruded, from the water, spitting
: fire and brimstone at the sailors who
sought its rescue. According to
those who venture familiarity with
the psychology of a cat, this animal
considered that the sinking of a great
battleship was merely andsolely an
afffront to its dignity and comfort.
The incident and the deduction are
probably untrue, but no one who
, knows a cat can deny that this might
he. exaetlv what the mascot of the
Maine really thought about the matv
ter. .' , . .
Apparent Design in Acts.
A normal cat is the most self-satisfied
creaturefjn the world and also
the most dignified. A fully qualified
cat will consider the burning of the
home of its pftronaS a personal at
front and the rebuilding of the struc
ture as solely designed for its own
amusement If it does not there is
something wrong with the cat. That
""is cat psychology.
At the same time a cat will en
dear itself . to a family by the most
engaging jtricks of familiarity. It
prefers, seemingly, to sleep on the
neck or shoulder of 'a human rather
. than upon the softest of cushions ItJ
will climb to the neck ot a man wno
has recently fthrowu it 'out of the
window anil purr with the greatest
of contentment and apparent satis
faction. Whether'j this is to disarm
him against furthers violence, heap
ing coals of fire vpon his head, or
, mere perversity no one knows.
Occasionally upon the vaudeville
.stage one sees such a thing as 3
"tiained" cat; that, is, a cat that will
perform certain tricks, apparently at
" the direction of its trainer. Some ex
perts m cat psychology . have said
4hat it was really ' the trainer who
was trained . to announce what the
cat was going to do next. At least,
no one ever saw a cat go through
any involved series of stunts-such
r'as those performed by a dog, a
cockatoo, an elephant or a seal.
Every once in a' -while some one
kses his or her temper with a cat
and commits an act of violence. Yet
most of the'dead cats one sees have
not been slain in this manner, but
rather by being run over by auto-
mobiles or i having their backs
broken by expert cat slayers . of the
ioe family. ' '
- This, 'it might be noted, . is a dis
tinct breed among dogs. Any dog
that kills a cat is a champion. That
means that no dog can kill a cat aft
er he has once iailed in the attempt.
Among dogs the unsuccessful cat
killer ceases not only to be a cham-pion--he
ceases almost, to be a dog
when there is a cat around. It may
be a feeling of disgrace and then
afjain it may be a remembrance of
what happened. ,At any rate" dog
fanciers agree that they never get
over an unsuccessful battle.
They say that good dogs fight
' porcupines until they finally have to
be killed to put them out of their
misery. But one good fight with a
cat is usually enough. New York

Huosehold Budget for the
New Year
Now is a good time to begin
keeping a budget of your personal
or household expenses. '
More and more the budget idea is
becoming popular with persons who
practice thrift 'They find it stabi
lizes their habits of life and makes
it easier to save systematically.
Anyone desiring a household or
personal budget will receive a six
months' supply without cost by writ
ing to the American Society for
Thrift, 220 West Forty-second
street, New York City.
The budgets are given away by
the society in connection with its ed
ucational work. The secretary of the
organization reports that American
people are rapidly learning the
budget habit, as indicated by the
great increase of budgets issued by
the society.

Peach Stains.
To remove peach stains place a
little sulphur on an earthen plate
and add enough alcohol to moisten
it slightly. Have a tin funnel at
hand, moisten the stain, with a little
water, ignite the alcohol-sulphur
mixture on the plate and place the
funnel over it so that the fumes
are caught and forced up through
the small end. Hold the stain over
this opening for a very little while,
and in most cases it will disappear.
Remember that 'the' sulphur fumes
are rather strong, and to order to
counteract them rinse the material
in a very little weak ammonia so
lution. Rinse again in clear water
'and the task is done.
vBee want ads are business getters.
To Clean Veils.
Spbnge mourning veils with warm
water, white soap and a pinch of
borax. If the veils shine use a lit
tle alcohol and two or three drops
of vinegar instead of borax. For
sponging black use a piece of black
woolen cloth. After sponging on
both sides place a moderately thick
piece of wrapping paper over the
veil and prt-ss with a warm iron.
Veils of Brussels not are freshened,
by the same treatment. When dry
either fold loosely or roll around a
pasteboard tube. If draped on a
hat a veil can usually be pressed in
this way without removing.
More than 16 per cent of the total
employes in industrial occupations
