They thought she was like the moon, because she was more active at night and because her eyes changed like the tnoou. So they made an idol with a cat’s head and named ii I’adil. The same name th<i gave to the moon, for the word means “the face of the moon.” The word lias been changed to "Pas” and “I’ns” ai d has come at last Io be “Puss.” the name the most of ns give to the eat.- I’.ostoh Transcript. t <e -,.s Spirit. “Henry. 1 w : this morning.” “What lor?" “Musi I account to you for every I penny I spend?" “I don’t insist upon knowing about every penny.
