young stripped themselves of their dow
for them, and fed them with the loot
they collected. This was the origin OF
the Greek law called 1.-the law OF the
stork. - by virtue of which children were
obligated to take care of their aged
parents, and those who refused 70 do Sc
were declared Infamous. How different
is it in our modern societies! Pierquin
remarks with reason that, as man rises.
he treats animals as if they were cor
respondingly degraded For long tirae
they had the same rights. During the
middle ages they were allowed a part IN
religious ceremonies. At Milan they
figured in the festivals of the kings; and
professions of animals appear in the has
reliefs of the cathedrals of Stras5urg,
Mans and Vienne Gsere). On Holy
Wednesday all the clergy of the church
of Rheims went to Saint Remi to make
a station there; the canOns, preceded by
the cross, were arranged in two lines
each drawing herring after him with
cord and each one was intent upon say
ing his own fish, and stepping upon that
of the canon in front of him (Anquetll,
'.Histoire de Reims') At Paris, the
procession Of the fox was as much en-
loved as the festival of the ass. The
animal, dressed in a kind of surplice,
wearing the mitre, had his place in the
midst of the clergy; n fowl was puu
within his reach; he often forgot his
pious functions to spring upon the bird
and devour It in the presence OF the
faithful. Philip the Fair was very fond
of this procession (Sanyal, Antiquities
de Paris".) Only a few years ago the
procession of the fat OK remained, sur
vival from the pagan feasts, a real piece
of wreckage from vanished civilizations.
While the rights of animals We're thus
recognized their duties toward man did
not escape the earlier legislators, who
severely punished their crimes and at
tempts upon human life. The law of
Moses Exodus xxi, %. 29) recites: ''If
an OK gore a man or a woman, that
they die then the OK shall be
surely stoned. and his flesh shall noS be
eaten; but the owner of the OK shall be
quit But If the OK We're wont 10 push
with his hOtn in time past, and it hath
been testified TO his owner. and he hath
not kept him in, but that he hath killed
a man or a woman the OK shall be stoned
and his owner also shall be put to death.
Judgments based on this principle are
recorded at Athens and Rome. Accord
ing TO Pierquin, Democritus wished an
animal, which had occasioned some
major damage, TO BE- punished with
death. Under Domitian, according to
the report of Martial, the ingratitude of
n lion toward its master was severely
punished. Columella and YarrO say
that the ancient Romans regarded the
OK as the companion of the labors Of
man, and that the act of killing one was
regarded as a homicide and punished in
the same way; and the OK enjoyed the
same privilege in Attica and the Pelo-
ponnesus. 1t is also said that the Arabs in
the mountains of Africa formerly cruel
fed lions, guilty of murders, upon trees.

Progressive Farmers.

The true farmer does not stop to count
the cost of improvement, for his reason
prompts him to believe that he cannot go
wrong by ehdeavoring to improve. Every
acre of his farm is cultivated to its high
est capacity, and his soil never deterio-
rates in quality. He rotates his crops
with view to increased fertility, and he
estimates his profits by the amount
expense entailed in securing that profi,s
The failure to realize immediate results
does not discourage him, for he knows
that, through his judicious system of
cultivation, the realization is but deferred
for little while longer. He farms for
profit, and he spends for profit. He
knows nothing of stinted economy,
which saves to-day and robs tomorrow.
The farm is his bank, his worshop and
his occupation, no stone being left uns
turned, and no portion sighted at
cost of another bart

CellulOid.

CeIluloid Is 6 composition Of fine tissue
paper and camphor, treated with chem
icsls by patented process. A rather
common impression that it contains gun
cotton is q mistake, which arises from
confounding it with collodion. Cellu-
Ioid. It Is said, is entirely non-explosive,
and burns only when In direct contact
With fame. When crude it looks like
transparent gum, and its color is a light
veIloW-brown. It can be made as hard
as ivory, but is always elastic, and can
be nodded into any conceivable form.
With equal ease it can be colored in any
tint desired, the dye running through the
entire substance, and being, therefore, in
effaceable.
Large amounts are used for combs cf
every variety, for the backs of brushes
and hand mirrors, and for all kinds of
toilet articles for which ivory has been
employed. Among many other articles
In which celluloid takes the place of
ivory or India rubber are whips, cane,
and umbrella handles, every kind of
harness trimming, foot rules, chessmen,
and the handles of knives and forks.
The freedom of celluloid from sulphur,
and the natural flesh color which can be
impaired to it, have caused it to be ex-
tensiyely substituted for India rubber in
the manufacture of dental blanks or the
gums or other attachments of artificial
teeth, and is superior for pencil cases,
&ewelry, ETC., where gold mountings are
