Cats at Sea.

Certain animals were once thought
to provoke storms at sea, and were
thus regarded as unlucky bv seamen.
\ dead hare on board ship has long
been thought a m-bringer. The
hare is unlucky in many folk lore sto-
ries. Many people, as Lapps, Firms,
and Chinese, will not eat it. AS an
animal supposed to see at night, it
was connected with the moon, shining
by night, and We have Eastern tradi-
tions of the hare in the moon. Hence
it is, with the moon a weather-maker.
The cat was still more widely feared
as storm bringer, and is always un-
lucky on board ship. She s'carries a
a gale in her tail" and is thought par
ticularly to prokoke storm by play
ing with gown or apron, rubbing
her face, licking her fur the wrong
way. etc. Provoking a cat will Ger.
tainly bring gale, in sailor belief,
and drowning one will certainly raise
u tempest. Fielding, in voyage to
Lisbon O775), says, 1.-THE kitten at
last recovered, to the great Joy of the
good captain, but to the great disap-
pointment of some OF the sailors, who
asserted that the drowning of cat
was the very surest way OF raising a
favorable wind" Flaws on the surface
of the water are in sailor-lore Seats
paws" There is Hungarian prov
erb that cat does not die in water.
hence its paws disturb the surface.

Young Fools That Marry.

An exchange has the following
item, which may seem all right, but
it will get some young fellows back
broken vet:
AN Illinois justice has decided that
courtingls public necessity, and
must not be interrupted therefore if
a young man wanted to kiss a girl he
might put her father out of the room
first if he liked to-"
The publication of the above item
may cause some young man to do
something he will regret. The lame,
sickly looking father of a girl may
come into the parlor some night and
find the warm hearted youth on the
sofa with the gil, and when the old
man speaks of it being time to stop
such nonsense. the young man, with
the above judicial decision in his
mind. Will tell his. prospective father
in-law to wipe off his vest and go to
bed. The old man will then spit on
his hands and grasp the warm hearted
young man by the county seat and tie
him up in double bow knot, and PIN
a scarf pin on him and throw him out
on the path to the gate, and then he
will turn and slap the girl across
where the dress is pleated, and she
will 90 up stairs with her hand on her
heart, as it were, and the old man will
jump up and say. "whoop."
The young men of this country
have not gall enough about visiting
girls in the evening at their homes,
without filling their heads with any
such idea in regard to their legal
rights.
There are very few fathers who
would quietly submit to being told to
90 away by young man with strip
ed neck-tie and pants too short at the
bottom.
These sparkers are looked upon by
parents generally as a nuisance, and
often they are right. Nine tenths of
the sparkling is done by boys who
haven't got their growth, and they
look so green that it is laughable for
old folks to look at them. They
haven't generally second shirt, and
they are now more qualified to get
married than steer is to preach.
And yet marrying is all he thinks
Of. \ green hoy without a dollar, pres
ent or prospective, sparkling a girl
regularly and talking about marrying,
is spectacle for gods and men. He
should be reasoned with, and if he
will not quit it until he is able to sup
port wife, and to know whom he
loves, and the difference between love
and passion, he should be quarantined
or put in convent erected on pnr-
pose for such cases.

Volume XXXVIII.---No. 35.

A larger furry on the water is scat
skin.' So it rains cats and dogs, and
the stormy northwest wind in some
parts of England is the 'cat 'S-nose."
In Chinese lore tigers cause storms,
and the Japanese wind-god has steel
claws and tigerish countenance. In
Germany there is a proverb that any
one making a cat his enemy will be
attended at his funeral with rats and
rain. Cats see better at night, are
connected with the moon in many le-
gends, are witches familiars, and
hence are eyed askance by many.
The Egyptian goddess of evil, Pasht,
was cath, a led goddess. Cats were,
as we have seen, used by witches in
raising a gale, and are said to smell a
wind, while pigs see it. On ship
board the malevolent character of the
cat is shown in nautical nomenclature,
and the song now popular
at was the cat''-

probation. The CATO -nine-tailsis is not

ors have love for the mi cellaneous
gear connected with raising the an
chor, such as the cat head, Cat fall,
cat tail, cat hook, Cat back, etc. The

thought derogatory to the able sea-
man to pass, is in French "7rou de

hat is Gossip?

We are often asked. "What is gos-
sip: We answer in general way,
that it is talking of persons rather
than things. Nothing shows the
paucity of ideas more than this talking
about the affairs Of your neighbors.-
1t is not only malicious people who
originate scandal it is narrow minded
people, ignorant people, stupid people.
Persons of culture and intelligence
are not so hard run for topics of con-
versation. They can usually find
something to say about art, liter
ature, fashion or society. The moment
people begin to talk Of their neigh
bors-or persons rather than things
they are to degenerate into scandal:
for where one. speaks of the virtues of
an acquaintance, dozen expatiate on
his or her shortcomings.
And this brings us to speak of real
culture, or what we consider to be
such, at least. A cultivated person,
in the highest sense of the term, is not
merely one who can talk of books pic
lures and other elevated subjects of
human interest. To be thoroughly
cultivated the heart, as we'll as the in
tellect, should be refined and enlarged.
Sometimes we see women who, without
education, yet having been born ami
able, are never guilty of gossip. Again
we see women, not naturally amiable,
whom education has taught to talk of
things, not of persons. Toe perfect
women, in this respect, is one who is
both amiable and educated.
But education does not always ele-
vate people above the reign of gossip.
A really bad heart is always malicious.
The best advice we can give is the
homely old adage:
"Mind your own business
Very few of us ever know the whole
truth about anything concerning a
neighbor, and to speak of his or her
conduct is usually to run the risk of
being unjust. Much less we talk of
the motives of others. Very few of us
know our own motives. and to venture
on discussing a neighbours motives is
always impertinnnce, and often a real
crime.-Selected.

were the struggles to escape. The
hornet could do no more than lift his
body from the ground. He rolled
and kicked and tumbled, but to no
purpose, except to make it lively for
his captors; and the thrust of that
lively dagger was wasted on the des-

knew his searching propensities, they
certainly managed to keep clear of

How long this pell-mell battle

tonishing to see him; with every move

lay hold of a third stick, and at the
same time clutch upon those pine
needles to add their impediment to
the burden of his body.
Practically, the ants had won vic

with the floundering elephant in their
hands seemed a problem. But it was
to them only a question of patience.
