One of his sons bids fair to be as fine a cat as Ajax. This is Sampson, bred by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, from Madame Ref, and owned by Mrs. Brian Brown. Mr. Stevens has a number of other high-bred cats, one of whom is Raby, a reddish black female, with a red ruff. Another is Lady, who is pure white; and then there are Monkey and Midget, who are black and white Angoras.
They lie on rude and unexpected granite shelves, as Le Conte Lake; under the shadow of towering peaks, as Gilmore Lake; on bald glacier-gouged and polished tables, as those of Desolation Valley; embosomed in deep woods, as Fallen Leaf, Heather and Cascade; in the rocky recesses of sloping canyons, as Susie, Lucile and the Angoras; hidden in secret recesses of giant granite walls, as Eagle; or sprawling in the open, as Loon, Spider, etc.
She has had some of the handsomest cats in this country, among which are "Paris," a magnificent white cat with blue eyes, and his mother, "Caprice," who has borne a number of wonderfully fine pure white Angoras with the most approved shade of blue eyes. Her cattery is known as the "Calumet Kennel," and there is no better judge of cats in the country than Mrs. Colburn.
A request has lately been received from Montreal asking for our reports, as it is proposed to found a home for animals in that city, and information is being collected in relation to such institutions." Lady Marcus Beresford has succeeded in establishing and endowing a home for cats in Englefield Green, Windsor Park. She has made a specialty of Angoras, and her collection is famous.
What you can't do is to load up a report with moonshine or an inventory with wind, and get anything more substantial than a moonlight sail toward bankruptcy. The kittens of a wildcat are wildcats, and there's no use counting on their being angoras.
Psmith looked on benevolently. "What Comrade Jackson does not know about cats," he said, "is not knowledge. His information on Angoras alone would fill a volume." "Say," Mr. Jarvis was evidently touching on a point which had weighed deeply upon him "why's catnip called catnip?" Mike looked at Psmith helplessly. It sounded like a riddle, but it was obvious that Mr.
This," he said, with a wave of his hand in the direction of the silently protesting Mike, "is Comrade Jackson, possibly the best known of our English cat-fanciers. Comrade Jackson's stud of Angoras is celebrated wherever the King's English is spoken, and in Hoxton." Mr. Jarvis rose, and, having inspected Mike with silent admiration for a while, extended a well-buttered hand towards him.
The angoras were brought down this morning for the kidding. You should have seen them. And the wild canaries have been discussing matrimony in the patio for hours. I think some free lover is trying to break up their monogamic heaven with modern love-theories. It's a wonder you slept through the discussion. Listen! There they go now. Is that applause? Or is it a riot?"
The Fur Fanciers' Association recognizes the following distinct breeds: Belgians, Flemish giants, Dutch marked, English, Himalayan, silvers, tans, Polish, lops, and Angoras. A rabbit hutch or coop is easily built from old packing boxes.
In order to demonstrate their effectiveness as substitutes for grubbing, he left them on three acres of brush. At the end of the second year the land was mellow and ready for the plow." It might be possible to build up a business in clearing lands for others by means of a herd of Angoras.
