# The Cat (Rule)/Chapter 1

THE CAT.
CHAPTER I.
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS.
The origin of the domestic cat (Felis domestica) is a subject about which there has been much conjecture and scientific discussion, but without any positive issue. Very long before the cat was kept in this country as a domesticated animal it was possessed by the ancient Egyptians in a tame state, and was, moreover, held in reverence by that remarkable and superstitious ​people, being regarded sacred to the goddess Pasht. At death the body was embalmed with devout care, and specimens of cat mummies may be seen in the British Museum. The Egpytian cat (Felis maniculata) may, however, be regarded as probably the original source of our familiar puss. This wild cat is of a sandy-grey or tawny colour, and with more or less indistinct markings of the tabby character. It is of about ordinary size; the tail is in form somewhat like that of most of our cats, and the ears are largish and pointed in a slightly lynx-like fashion. It is supposed that domesticated animals spread from Egypt with the tide of civilization westward. I may here notice that, unlike the dog, the cat has
​never been tamed by the savage races of mankind. But by the civilized, or even the semi-civilized, peoples of the world the cat is at the present day more or less valued as a useful mouser or as a cherished household pet. It is remarkable that at a time when the wild cat (Felis catus) was very abundant in England, the house-cat was unknown. It was evidently an animal of foreign importation, and so highly valued as a mouser as to have been protected by royal statute. The earliest record of the tame cat in this country is as remote as A.D. 948. Prince Howel Dda, or Howel the Good, enforced the very just but primitive fine of a milch ewe, its fleece and lamb, or as much wheat from the destroyer ​or robber of a cat at the Royal granary as would cover it to the tip of the tail, the animal being suspended by that member, with the head only touching the ground.
WILD CAT.
To face p. 7
In country places, where rabbits are abundant,—and, we may add, the smaller, but not less destructive, rodents, and a variety of feathered game,—the barn-door cat is sometimes tempted to abscond and take to a romantic and semi-wild life in the woods. Kittens born of such parents have no desire for the domestic hearth, and are wild and suspicious to a degree. Were it not for the vigilance and unremitting persecution of gamekeepers and others, which has robbed our land of the noble Felis catus, in common with many other rare and interesting creatures, it is ​probable that but very few consecutive generations would suffice to produce a truly wild race.

# Ham v. South Carolina

* sister projects: Wikipedia article
Ham v. South Carolina, 409 U.S. 524 (1973), was a United States Supreme Court decision concerning examinations of prospective jurors during voir dire. The Court held that the trial court's failure to "have the jurors interrogated on the issue of racial bias" violated the petitioner's due process right under the Fourteenth Amendment. This right does not extend to any question of bias, but it does not preclude questions of relevant biases.

No. 71-5139. Argued: November 6, 1972 --- Decided: January 17, 1973
Petitioner, a civil rights worker, claims that his trial resulting in his drug conviction (which was affirmed by the South Carolina Supreme Court) was not fair because of the trial court's refusal to examine jurors on voir dire as to possible prejudice arising from the fact that petitioner is a Negro and that he wears a beard.
Held: The trial court's refusal to make any inquiry of the jurors as to racial bias after petitioner's timely request therefor denied petitioner a fair trial in violation of the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Its refusal to inquire as to particular bias against beards, after it had made inquiries as to bias in general, was not constitutional error. Pp. 526-529.

# The Tay Bridge Disaster

The Tay Bridge Disaster is a poem by the Scottish poet William Topaz McGonagall and recounts the events of the evening of 28 December 1879, when, during a severe gale, the Tay Rail Bridge near Dundee, Scotland collapsed as a train was passing over it with the loss of all on board.
Beautiful Railway Bridge of the Silv'ry Tay!
Alas! I am very sorry to say
That ninety lives have been taken away
On the last Sabbath day of 1879,
Which will be remember'd for a very long time.
'Twas about seven o'clock at night,
And the wind it blew with all its might,
And the rain came pouring down,
And the dark clouds seem'd to frown,
And the Demon of the air seem'd to say-
"I'll blow down the Bridge of Tay."
When the train left Edinburgh
The passengers' hearts were light and felt no sorrow,
But Boreas blew a terrific gale,
Which made their hearts for to quail,
And many of the passengers with fear did say-
"I hope God will send us safe across the Bridge of Tay."
But when the train came near to Wormit Bay,
Boreas he did loud and angry bray,
And shook the central girders of the Bridge of Tay
On the last Sabbath day of 1879,
Which will be remember'd for a very long time.
So the train sped on with all its might,
And Bonnie Dundee soon hove in sight,
And the passengers' hearts felt light,
Thinking they would enjoy themselves on the New Year,
With their friends at home they lov'd most dear,
And wish them all a happy New Year.
So the train mov'd slowly along the Bridge of Tay,
Until it was about midway,
Then the central girders with a crash gave way,
And down went the train and passengers into the Tay!
The Storm Fiend did loudly bray,
Because ninety lives had been taken away,
On the last Sabbath day of 1879,
Which will be remember'd for a very long time.
As soon as the catastrophe came to be known
The alarm from mouth to mouth was blown,
And the cry rang out all o'er the town,
Good Heavens! the Tay Bridge is blown down,
And a passenger train from Edinburgh,
Which fill'd all the peoples hearts with sorrow,
And made them for to turn pale,
Because none of the passengers were sav'd to tell the tale
How the disaster happen'd on the last Sabbath day of 1879,
Which will be remember'd for a very long time.
It must have been an awful sight,
To witness in the dusky moonlight,
While the Storm Fiend did laugh, and angry did bray,
Along the Railway Bridge of the Silv'ry Tay,
Oh! ill-fated Bridge of the Silv'ry Tay,
I must now conclude my lay
By telling the world fearlessly without the least dismay,
That your central girders would not have given way,
At least many sensible men do say,
Had they been supported on each side with buttresses,
At least many sensible men confesses,
For the stronger we our houses do build,
The less chance we have of being killed.

# The New Student's Reference Work/Ropes

See also Rope on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Ropes are usually made of vegetable fibers, and differ from twine only in their greater thickness. The fiber in most constant use is hemp, though ropes are also made of manilla or wild plantain and of wire. Coir fiber from the husk of the cocoanut is another important rope-making material, which has the advantage of being lighter than either hemp or manilla. Sisal hemp from South America is also used to a considerable extent, especially for ropes of small size, and for many purposes cotton-ropes are also employed. Notwithstanding the extensive use of machinery in the manufacture of ropes, the old process of rope-walk spinning is still practiced on a considerable scale. The successive stages in this process are (1) hackling the fiber; (2) spinning the yarn; (3) tarring in hauls," consisting of about 300 yarns; (4), winding the yarn on bobbins and mounting these on bobbin-frames; (5) forming the strands; and (6) laying the strands into a rope. As life and property depend to so great an extent on the efficiency of ropes, great care and ingenuity have been exercised in the manufacture, causing many improvements to be devised for increasing their strength. Among these is the introduction of wire-ropes, which are extensively used in rigging ships and for other purposes These are generally made of iron wire, sometimes but not always galvanized. The twisting is done in the same way in which the strands of a hempen rope are laid together.

# Robin Aboon/A Sup of Good Whisky

A SUP OF GOOD WHISKY.
A sup of good whisky will make you glad, Too much of the creature will make you mad; If you take in resson 't will make you wise: If you drink to excess it will close up your eyes; Yet Father and Mother, And Sister and Brother, They all love sup in their turn.
Some preachers will tell you to drink is bail, I thick so too———if there's a one to be had; The Swadler will bid you drink none at all; But while I can get it a fig for them all; Both Layman and Brother, In spite of th's pother, Will take s sup in their turn.
Some Doctors will tell you ⟨'twill⟩ spoil your hea'th And justice will say 'twill reduce your wealth: Physicians and ⟨Lawyers⟩ will all agree, When your money's all gone, they can get no fee; Yet Surgeon Doctor. And Lawyer and Poctor, Will all take a sup in their turn.
The Turks who ⟨arrived⟩ from the port sublime, They to'd us that drinking was held a great crime; Jet after their dinner awsy they slank. And tipple their wine till they got quite drunk; The Sultan and Crommet, Ant even Mahomet, They all take a sup in their turn.
The Quakers will bid you from drink abstain, By yea, and by nay 'tis a fault in the vain; Set some of the Broadbrims will get to the stuff, Add tipple away till they've tippled enough; For Stiff rump and Steady, And Solomon, Lady, Would all take a snp in their turn.
The Germans will say they drink the most, The French and Italians will also boast; Hibernia' the country for all their noise, For generous drinking and hearty boys; Where each jovial fellow, Will drink till he's mellow, And sake of his glass in his turn.
