ODD IDEAS CONCERNING RATS

Belief That the Rodents Could Not Live in Certain Parts of Scotland —Witchcraft Symbols.

Many curious beliefs formerly prevaeiled in Scotland concerning the rar. One of the most common of these was ‘that there were certain districts where rats could not live, and could not even be introduced. The old Scottish historian Hector Boece states that there ‘were ng rats to be found in his day in Buchan; while a later author, Sir Robert Gordon, made a similar state ment regarding Sutherlandshire. He says, “If they come thither in ships from other parts, they die presently, how 'soon they do smell the air of that country.” At the same time, according to a correspondent of the Sportsman, he asserts that rats abounded in the meighboring county of - Caithriess. Even so late as 1794 the belief prevailed.. The writer of the articles on Morven and Roseneath in “The Statistical Account of Scotland,” states that attempts were made to introduce the rat into these parishes, but without success. With regard to Roseneath, he says: “From a prevailing opinion that the soil of this parish is hostile to thai animal, some years ago a West Indian planter actually carried out to Jamaica sev eral casks of Roseneath earth, with a view to kill the rats that were destroying his sugar-canes. It is said this had not the desired effect, so we lost a valuable export.” During the period of the witch mania rats were Tooked upon as the symbols of witchcraft. That they could be exterminated by a c¢ourse of rhyming was a belief common to both Scotland. and Ireland, though more popular in the latter country than the former.’

AIDED THE DEPUTY SHERIFF

Humarous Incident in Which “Gunman"” Figured Prominently in Early Days of the West.

In his “When the West Was Young,” Frederick R. Bechdoll tells of the meeting 'in Cochigse county, Arizena, between ' young Breckenridge, a sheriff’s deputy, and Curly Bill, a 'gunman with a price on his head. The young deputy had°been sent out to collect taxes in a rough' region and he would admire to have Bill ride along to help him take care of the roll. We read: | e : “Curly Bill was a great deal slower at thinking than he was at drawing his gun, and there was much food for thought in that bold proposition. “He gazed at young Breckenridge for some moments in silence.. Gradually, his lips relaxed. Smiling, he turned and addressed the occupants of the room, L * ‘Boys,! he cried, ‘line up. “And when the line was formed before the har he waved his hand. ' ““Phis' here’s the deputy sheriff, come to collect the taxes in our end of the county; and I aim to help him do the job up right.” : Here seems to be one of the reasons why they speak of ‘“rare old days” in the American occident. . :

Perfect Platonic Friendship.

‘The friendship between .the great -artist,” Michelangelo, and the Roman noblewoman, Vittoria- Colonna, is.one of 'the world’'s most illustrious examples of platonic friendship, says Oliver Barton in the Mentor Magazine. When they first met, Vittoria Colonna was forty-six and Michelangelo sixty. She became the greatest influence in the life of the fiery genius. They were _accustomed to meet outside of the church of San Silviestro, and discuss painting and life. The gist of fhese dialogues was set down by another artist and later published as Michelangelo’s “Dialogues on Painting.” | After withdrawing to the cloister the “Marquessa Colonna continued to communicate with the master. A bookh‘ of her sonnets was always with him.. She died in 1547, but until his death ‘he remained as devoted to her mem‘ory -asB he had been to her in life.

Incdian Legend of Rattlesnake.

A’ Texan reports killing a rattlesnake in west Texas that measured eight feet and had 24 rattles and a button. _But in the winter of 1868-69, when the Kansas volunteer regiment ‘Joined General Sheridan’s command, the roving soldiers discovered, in Wichita mountains, a den of rattlesnakes which tops the record. After the soldiers had taken their souvenirs and had thrown a number of the reptiles into the ecreek and brush, 158 were counted. Several, without their heads and tails, measured eight feet and were six inches in diameter. The sum tot?l was estl: mated 'at 200. » e o - As usual, the Indians claimed that the den was a “medicine” den. An aged Arapahoe chiet had entered it, to die, and had turned into a ménster diamond-back, the father of all the snakes in ‘that country.

Enhglish Clay Pits.

Golders Green in London derives its name, it is said, from the fact that “gaulters,” or clayworkers, could obtain good material for wattle daubing. There are numerous instances Where the word ‘‘golden,” or “golten,” is used in connection with clay working. A “Golten Way” in Suffolk led to some clay deposits of excellent quality for building purposes. = The name is akin, therefore, to the “clay pits” between Ealing and Brentford, where tlie medieval builders in West Middlesex obtained-building material. These pits were subsequently used as burial pits in the Great plague. l ‘ S R S ~ Beginners' dancing class will be in- 1‘ structed by Dr. Arnold Elson at 8:00 o’clock each Thursday eveming until further notice. .

“SINGING SHOULD COME FIRST,

Famous English Musician Gives Ad- - vice as te Musical Education - of the Child. ;

Italicized in an article by Sir Dan Godfrey is this sentence: “No child should be given piano lessons until it has sung for some years in order to develop its musical instinet” He points out that perfection in lisping baby songs is attained very early in life, and this power brings contaet with beauty before drawing is developed or color appreciated. Singing i$ such a personal art that it lends itself to the development of the indlvidual as nothing else does. The joy which a child gets in- reproducing beautiful melodies is like no other ex: ‘perience in life. Piano playing requires.so much attention that the little performer often hears very little of the music. The capacity of children. for memorizing and performing. suitable music is very great, and few, in ‘proportion, have no ear for music. Generally speaking, they are better performers. than listeners, except when : listening to ‘music they know. School without music would be a ,dl‘eg@dful place, for, apart from . its: educational value, good music provides a :bond of sympathy between teacher and pupil. In 'this short article Sl}' Dan Godfrey has given a lead to parents on the right lines. He wants children’s ears to b€ trained, their taste awakened, their listening powers developed, and tlhreir love of the ‘beautiful cultivated through -musical study.—Montreal - Family Herald. -

CREDIT GIVEN CASTE SYSTEM

Long Freedom of India From Plague W_gs Indirectly Caused by Its . “Prevalence. - Bt

Although Europe had suffered from many visitations of plague before-and during the Middle ages, it was not until the Nineteenth century that plague came to India, says J. H. Stephens in Popular Mechanics. This was due to the prevalence in India of the ancient caste system of the Brahmins, which resulted in separation and segregation. The higher castes lived apart from the lower castes, and between each of such segregations open spaces were left, which allowed the circulation of fresh air, and provided for expansion without congestion. Thus, unwittingly, the caste system -adopted one of the most effective measures for preventing the spreading of disease. ' Under the British administration, caste rules were less strictly observed, and the different castes tended to converge, while congestion' increased, resulting in the first appearance of plague in the c¢ity of Mangalore, capital of the native state of Mysore, South India. It broke out first in the most congested quarter, where sunlight and air were excluded or polluted, -

Plants. That Select Homes.

One of the chief popular distine--tions between - vegetable and animal life is that the aniinals have power. of choice and of voluntary motion, while vegetables and plants grow only mechanically. But the microscope seems to show that many vegetable forms can move as easily as can animals. There is a plant called volvox globator, so ‘minute that millions of it could be put in a drinking glass; which-is seen to ~whirl like a top’ 2e¢ross the field of the microscope. Some plants found. in ponds, which are still more minute, move habitually, as with an apparent purpose. . Naturalists who have given closer study than others to climbing plants state that these seem to exer[cise the liberty of choice. Their tendrils, in climbing over pieces of wood with holes, will try one hole after ansother until they find one that pleases them. One investigator saw a tendril withdraw: itself after having -pushed itself in a hole for 36 hours.

Fall of the Roman Empire.

The fall of the Roman empire was in A, D. 478, when the western empire was finally extinguished by the deposition of Romulus Augustulus as emperor of the West, and the proclaiming of Odoacer as king of Italy. The later Roman or Eastern empire, with its capital at Byzantinm (Constantinople), continued to exist for a thousand years longer. ' Its history may be divided into fous periods: (1) That covering the struggle with Persia, endIng in favor of the empire about 630 A. D.; (2) the struggle with the Saracens, who were practically crushed in the Eleventh century; (3) the wars with the Seljuk Turks in the Eleventh and Twelfth centuries; and (4) those with the Ottoman Turks in which the Roman power at last went down in 1453, when Mohammed captured Constantinople, and the last emperor, Constantine XI, was killed.—Literary Digest.

No Oil in Cat’s Fur,

Many animals are protected by nature with a sort of oilskin coat, By excreting oil from their skin they are able literally. to throw off water. With the cat,’ however, it is different, her fur behaving exactly as a dressed fur overcoat belonging to any human—that is, the fur clots at its tips and becomes waterlogged. . , - The only difference is that the unfortunate cat, being unable to take off ifs-sodden coat, gets “wet through,” _and, coming of ancestors from a dry climate—our domestic cat originated in Egypt and on the shores of the Mediterranean—ls peculiarly liable to fowteh el g 00l fuanghe and eietek o 8 (iiet Nl and at reasonable prices.
