How 1t Might Have Been.

Our colored brethren are not acquaint-
ted with classical or modern literature,
and seldom refer to either. But they
are familiar with biblical persons and
incidents and frequently bring them
forth to point moral or adorn a tale.
The following dialogue illustrates tie
success with which Mother Eve was
once used to administer a rebuke:
Old Aunt Sukey, who lives on Austin
Avenue, Galveston, is known TO be the
stingiest woman of the city. Old Nose
put up a load of tough oak wood for her
a few days ago, and she refused to pay
him more than a quarter-about half
the usual price.
AUNT Sukey," said Nose, Il wish
you had been in de garden Of Eden, in
stead of Ebe'
what do yer mean, Uncle MoseP''
Muffin, 'cept you are so stingy, eff
you had been Ebe, yer would hab eat
de hull apple yerself and not glib Adam

Snnerstitinns Ahnat Cats.

| In Ireland il is considered highly I'M
| lucky for family to take with them a
cat when they are moving, more espe-
cially, too, when they have to cross a
river. Mr.. Gregor also tells us that, in
the northeast of Scotland, if a COW or
other domestic animal was seized with
| disease, one mode of cure was to twist a
rope of straw the contrary way, join the
| two ends, and put the diseased animal
through the loop along with a eat. BY
this means the disease was supposed to
be transferred to the cat, and the ami
NAL s life was so saved by the catdying.
This, of course, was only one of the ex-
tensive charms of which the leading
idea was that of substitution. A rem
edy for erysipelas, lately practiced in
the parish of Locharron, in the North
west Highlands, consisted in cutting off
one-half of the ear of a cat, and letting
the blood drop on the part affected. Al
ludino, moreover, to the numerous 9th
er items of folklore in connection with
the cat, there is a popular notion that
MAY cat--a cat born in the month of
Mays of no use for catching rats and
mice but exerts an injurious influence
on the house through bringing into it
disaoreeable reptiles of various kinds.
Mrs. Latham, in her ssWest Sussex SUI
perstitions," says that a May cat is sup
posed ito be inclined to melancholy,
and to be much addicted to catching
snakes and bringing them into the
house. | had heard that this West
country belief existed in our village;
and. very lately, observing most de-
iected-looking cat by the fire in cot
tage, said, in jest, 81 should think that
cat was born in May. .'Oh, yes
said the owner of it, .'that she was, and
so was her mother; and she was just as
sad-looking, and was always bringing
snakes and vipers within DOORS In
Hunfingdonshire there is acommon say
inc that "a May kitten makes a dirty
cat This supposed ill-luck attaching
to cat born IN the month of May is no
doubt founded on the old notion that
Nav was an unfortunate season for
births of any kind. in allusion to which
there is an old proyerb, which says
May chefs
Bad luck begets.
According to a curious notion. still ex-
tensiyely credited by our North-coun-
try peasantry, black cats are supposed
to bring not only good luck, but also
lovers-in illustration of which we may
quote q well-known rhyme on the sub
ject:
Whenever the cat o. the house is black,
The lasses o. lovers win have no lack.
Mr.. Henderson, speaking of this SUI
perstition. tells rs that an old North

where if one dreams of a black cat at
Christmas. it is an omen Of some alarm
ing illness during the following year.
Equally unfortunate, leo. is it Tor ii eat
to sneeze, this act being supposed toin-
dictate that the family viii have colds.
Thus we are informed by Mrs. Latham
that in Sussex, tteven the most favored
cat, if heard to sneeze, is instantly shut
out of doors; for should she stay to re-
peat the sneeze three times indoors, the
whole family will have. colds and
coughs"
Lastly, there are many quaint tradi-
tons in which the cat holds promi-
nent place; and an amusing one currents
in the north of England, we may quote
in conclusion: A gentleman was one
evening sitting costly in his parlor, read
ing or meditating, when he was inter-
rupted by the appearance of a cat, which
came down the chimney and cried out,
Tell Dildrum Doldrum's dead!' He
was not unnaturally startled by this
strange occurrence; and when. shortly
after, his wife entered, and he related
to her what had happened, her own cat,
which accompanied her, exclaimed, .tIs
Doldrum dead?' and Immediately rush
ed up the chimney, and was heard of
no more. Of the numberless conject-
lures stated to account for this extraor-
binary event, the most reasonable one
appears to be that Doldrum had been
King of C:atland, and that DiIdrum was
the next heir ~ Gentleman Magazine.

Seth Green on Fish.

81 have made some of my most inter-
esting studies of nature in the morn
ing said Seth Green. THAT is the
| time to see the insects ut their best--to
see the mad wasp singing the spiders
without killing them, and packing them
sway where they are kept alive for
weeks to be used when needed. | have
seen small green worm hanging down
on web. An ant, stationed on the
| limb above, pull up the web and, just as
The worm comes within reach of his tiny
claws, down drops Mr.. Worm. The
| ant pulls up again and again, and worm
cts out another reef and goes down.
This sort of thing continues until finally
The ant grapples the worm and both 60
down together in a grand scramble, in
which the worm manages to shake off
the ant. This leaves the worm on the
ground. His web is SO strong that the
other end is still fastened to the limb
above. What does Mr.. Ant do? Give
it upP No, sir. / have seen him go up
the trunk of that tree, crawl out on the
same limb and go to work again pull
ing up the same web. Then after an
other battle, | have known the ant to
get the better of the fight and lug
the worm off to his hole, three rods
away"
Why, talk about reasoning powers!
The perseverance and instinct of these
little creatures are wonderful. People
go out to fish. They splash around,
stand up in the boat. drop their lines
three feet away and wonder because they
don't catch trout. They forget that
trout can see. Fish learn to tackle and
fish are, as rule, local in their habita-
ton. There are not as many gypsies
among fish as among men. Any man
who will take the pains to study fish
or who may remember 1.-THE of what
he reads about them-can catch them.
They are smart, but our brains will beat
them. I remember once of fishing for
salmon trout for long time and taking
nothing. Finally / concluded to get
down and look into the water, and so
throwing my coat over my head | got
the required shade and peered down.
The salmon would sail up and look at
the minnow. Then, with n quick dart,
he would close his teeth around one
half the minnow and open them again
ike a flash. He did not attempt to eat
the minnow, and half of the severed
body would drop to the bottom. When
it had fallen to the bed of the lake the
salmon would go down leisurely and
eat it. The next time when | dropped
my hook and felt the quick bite of the
trout let out enough line to send the
hook to the bottom, and the result was
that when the salmon went down for his
meal, he was fooled and L had him.

The Original Home of the Herse.

There is no doubt that the original
home of the horse is not Europe, but
Central Asia; for since the horse in its
natural state depends upon grass for its
nourishment, and fieetness for its weap-
on, it could not have thriven and multi
piled in the thick forest-grown territory
of Europe. Much rather should its place
OF propagation be sought in those step
pes where it still roams about in a wild
state. Here, too, arose the first nations
of riders of which we have historic
knowledge, the Mongolians and the
Turks, whose existence at this day is as
it were combined with that of the horse.
From these regions the horse spread in
all directions, especially into the steppes
of Southern and Southeastern Russia,
and into Thrace, until ii finally found
entrance into the other parts of Europe,
but not until after the immigration of
the people. This assumption is, at least,
strongly favored by the fact that the
farther district of Europe is from
those Asiatic steppes, i. e., from the or
iginal home of the horse, the later does
the tanned horse seem to have made its
historical appearance in it. The sup
position is further confirmed by the fact
that horse raising among almost every
tribe appears as an art derived from
neighooring tribes in the east and north
east. Even in Homer the OK appears
exclusively as the draught animal in
land operations at home and in the
field. while the horse was used for pur-
poses of war only. Its employment in
military operations was determined by
swiftness alone. That the value of the
horse must originally have depended
upon its fleetness, can easily be inferred
from the name which is repeated in all
the branches of the Indo-European Ian
guage, and signifies nearly Fastening"
''quick." The same fact is exemplified
by the descriptions of the oldest poets,
who, next to its courage, speak most of
its swiftness. Popular Science Month
