A Vegetarian Cat.

E. J Cable of Litchfield has a cat which is really remarkable. His fur is ■able, blacker than the blackest midttght, and he is the only vegetarian eat we ever knew. When any of the family are peeling potatoes he ‘ ‘cuts up” at a great rate until he is fed some raw potatoes. He usually eats from one to three. He also eats apples, but his favorite dish is muskmelon. If a muskmelon is brought into the house secretly he will know it as quickly as most cam Would if it were raw beef. He will jump up, mew, and run around after a piece of it and act as wildly over it as most cats do over mice.
