Show Common Nest for Cat and Hen. Bowdolnham cats aro noted for their Bagaclty, but it remains for the intelligent fellno owned by Mrs. Samuel Sam-uel Donnell of that town to cap tho climax. "Our cat has taken a strange place to rear her last kittens," Mrs. Donnell told the Journal Friday. "Her children chil-dren wore born in a hen's nest and ever slnco Bhe has persisted in keeping keep-ing them there. Tho queer part of it is tho phllosohplcal way In which the hen seems to take the matter. "When she wants to lay an egg sho pecks at the kittens,-who are too small to resent It, and If the mother is near she pushes them gently from the nest. Just as soon as the hen has laid her egg the cat grabs the kittens kit-tens and puts them in the neat again and it la no unusual thing for the cat, kittens, eggs and hen to be all together in one glorious mlxup."
