TOO WONDERFUL FOR US.
THE WAY OF CAT WITH A SAUCER. Here is a story' from a Children’s Newspaper reader which cat lovers may support in their theory that cats are as‘ intelligent as dogs. A cat. had found a beautiful nursery for her five kittens behind some syringa bushes at the bottom of a London garden. When the owners of the garden discovered the place Lhey took a white saucer and poured out some milk, which the mother cat gratefully lapped up. Then the saucer was refilled and left near by. When further supplies were brought the empty saucer was found covered with leaves. The leaves were, brushed away and the saucer was refilled. The next time it was found covered with leaves again. There seems little doubt that pussy thought the white saucer too conspicuous an object on the dark soil, and feared that it might guide undesirable visitors to her nursery.
