At a Virginia watering place a batch
of dough had been prepare 1 for the
oven and placed on the table. A play
ful kitten thought it would le nice to
run over it, it looked so snowy, warm
and tempting. Kitty tried it; and
soon found her delicate little feet sink

instead of a loaf of bread, she had a
kitten dumpling, and put the mass iu

bread was opened the next morning
the birds did not begin to sing, but the
boarders did. They fairly howled
with rage. They knew that there had
been a family of kittens, and as hash
had been served 'for breakfast before
this extraordinary loaf had been open

other part of the family had gone into
hash and down their throats. They
were first taken with sea sickness,
next with home sickness, and then

"Yes, what, of her?"
'Oh, nothing, only I'll bet you s

"Tliat's nothing. Anybody can kiss
a woman."
"Ye, but 1 never .saw her before.
I'll agree if she makes any fuss about
it, to pay for the hat."
'-Don't you know her, honest?"
"Upon my work ! Never, so he'p
me!"
"It's abet."
"Agreed ! Now watch me !"
The naturalist walked deliberately
up to the lady, 'put his face down to
hers, and then kissed her squarely 011
the cheek. To the infinite surprise of
the Rapt 1st deacon she did not hit him
with the water pitcher, or holler
"murder" or "nijie." She simply
