A Courteous Cat.

A MEMBER of the Zoological Society says: "I once had a cat who always sat up to the dinner table with me, and had his napkin round his neck, and his plate and some fish. He used his paw, of course, but he was very particular, and behaved with extraordinary decorum. When he had finished his fish I sometimes gave him a piece of mine. One day he was not found when the dinner bell rang, so we began without him. Just as the plates were put round for the entree, puss came rushing upstairs and sprang into his chair, with two mice in his mouth. Before he could be stopped he dropped a mouse onto his own plate, and then one onto mine. He divided his dinner with me as I had divided mine with him."—Manchester Times.
