There are any number of dealers la this city who are glad to pay all the way from CO cents to SI for a cafs skin, according to site and Quality. The method of catching the unsuspect ing cat Is a particularly mean one. It is a well established fact that cats are very, fond of catnip and will troop after a man who carries a bundle of it This greed let ds to the undoing of pussy, wha will come to a stand if a bit of the herb Is thrown cn the ground and Is thus made an easy prey. A bag and a chloroformed sponge do the rest, and many a household pet, the disap pearance of which caused sorrow, can bo accounted for in this way. Phila delphia Press.
