The cat, ' dog, and the birds are the principal creatures on which affection is lavish. ed. One of our own pringesses is so fond of cats that she has g little house built specially for them. It has real windows, a front door with a knocker, and her initials over the doorway. Inside it is furnished with all sorts of luxuries for these ani- mals, which are superb of their kind. The Baroness de Rothschild, who has a beautiful place near Geneva, has an aviary there in which, in the loveliest of quarters, surely all the birds in the world are displayed. From large to small they disport themselves in their brilliancy and variety of color and kind. The fashionable women of New York had such a fancy for toy dogs that at no disthknt date they gave a luncheon party for these ani «mals. The were set up on chairs, and their owners did the waiting on them, supplying a meal of veal cut- lets, sausages, salads, ice-cream, and a birthday cake in honor of the dog whose birthday was thus celebrated. There is an old woman in Berlin, who has been induced by loneliness and poverty to make pets of the birds of the air. She makes no effort to catgh one, she only spreads her crumbs every day, and sits there under the tree listening to their merry clatter, and rejoicing as they drop down 'at her feet to peck at the crumbs, while sometimes one more bold than the others even ventiires to sit on her Monkeys have often been adopted as pets, but they are not very success ful. As a rule they have proved them- selves treacherous. A sad little tale is told of a certain monkey which was the pet of a bright young girl. A gentleman wished to marry her, and his suit was much favored by her fa- ther. The lover was not an admirer of the monkey at all, and made no secret of the fact that he would rath- er have the room of the michievous animal than its company. Eventually the betrothal of this man, and the reluctant girl was announced, and a dinner party was given to celebrate the event. All the evening the monkey hung about his mistress, and she per- sisted in fondling him, much to the displeasure of her fiance. The dinner a long time, and no one ub: served that the monkey had disap- red. It was late before the girl the fact, and though the whole house was searched no monkey could "Bs found. She blamed the gengleman to whom she was engaged. could persuade her t he was inno- cent, and she took se violent a hat red for him that the match had to be broken off. Time passed, and no mon: key returned. It was a year after ward that another ial dinner was held, angl the a ad to go to the innermast recesses of the wine cellae for a special vintage. Just inside he found a Kittle skeleton It wps the lost monkey. It had followed him when he went to fetch the wine for the betrothal dinner, and, unobserv- ed, had been inclosed and died of starvation. Sach creatures as a panther, a baby tiger, a lion's whelp, and serpents have been made pets by women of un: usual character, probably searching for, or perhaps naturally finding un- usual objects to attach to themselves, Women who devote their affections to dogs and horses receive affection and devotion in return. There are plenty of women, however, who are willing to lavish affection without hope of receiving any return. "To waste tre love on anything is womanly past question." This may account for such R pu od a tortoise.

Some their heads. The birds are attached by a silver chain, and their owners seem rather to be flattered when the birds chat- ter and people turn around to stare. An owl makes rather a favorite pet. It. merely eats all the birds and mice offered and blinks its gratitude, and the owners somotimes find that there are gradations of affection in the blinks. Goldfish 'are not uncommon as pets, and a certain amount of skill 'is wanted. for looking after them pro- perly and keeping them in good condi- tion. White mice, squirrels and even rats have been made the objects of deep devotion. One lady put a mouse under a glass shade and gave it cot- ton wool, with which it built its nest and lived quite comfortably on food supplied. The taste that prompts a woman to keep clucking hens in her drawing- room is diflicult to analyze. She ex- ists, however. It is trying to go into her drawing-room, and visitors have got into the way of standing until they are asked to aévept a seat which she points out. It is common for her to ery hurriedly : "Oh! wo, no, not there, my dear Maria Brahma or Co. chin China is sitting there !"" as the case might be. And sure enough, in a comfortable nest, seated on eggs, would be the hen, ' and she would fly into a rage at the disturbance, as if the drawing-room were ve cial propery No lack of Hu al fection could account for this vagar) for this woman was possessed of an affectionate husband and son, both of whom merely smiled at her litthe ways, and avoided lounge chairs where hens were sitting on eggs. Another enterprising woman made a pet of a large black beetle, and had a tiny gold chain made, which she fast. ened around its neck and fixed to her bangle. It savors rather of cruelty, but the beetle did well enough in those quarters. "Mary's" little lamb is well enough known, and in Highland places is not an uncommon pet. Often a young girl from a farm will have a pet jamb that follows her all over the place, and there are sure to be favorite hors- es that come and lay their heads on her shoulder. - There are some ladies who make pets of those creatures with many tentacles known as sea anemones. They delight in watching them as they spread their arms in a glass globe, and take a good deal of trouble in procuring ant eggs, tiny fish, and things of the kind for their delectation. Whatever may be the motive that prompts to the idea of making pets of a curious nature, there is no stint of variety in their selection. ~London Telegraph. Red, Itchy Skin Blotches. It is. impossible not to feel repul- sion at the sight of any skin dis urment. Blotches not only irritate, dut destroy good looks faster than even lavish dressing can overcome. More- over, there's lots of sense in the be- lief that a discased skin is a dirty skin, and sufferers should keep this in mind, and use a sure remedy at once. When Dr. Hamilton's Ointment is applied the blotches disappear. In- variably every pimple, rash and blem: ish is soothed away. To keep the skin smooth and soft, to remove un- due redpess, to take away lumps, there is pothing so efficient as Dr. Hamilton's ' Ointment. Sold in 50c. boxes by all dealers. A Proper Precaution.
