In the Fifteenth century the size of the
leather bindings of printed books were deco
rated, If at all, either in cut or stamped
work: the cut work was MT used to any
extent in England, but thestamped work
was. The stamps were engrlved on metal

THE EVIL REPuTE OF THE CAT.
Superstitions and Proverbs of Various
Nations Regarding This Animal.

Superstitions and Proverbs of Various
Nations Regarding This Animal.
The evil rtpute of the cat still clings to
him says TIE Illustrated American. A
Finisterre cat which has served nine mas
ters in succession is believed to have the
right of carrying off the soul of the ninth
to hell. In Upper Brittany there are some
times seen enormous cats engaged in hold
ing meeting If any one presumes to in
trude upon their presence, they surround
and tease him for a time. Then a long
needle is driven into his heart and he is
dismissed. Hypochondria ensues, and he
slowly wastes away. A black tomcat says
a Russian proverb, at the end of seven
years becomes devil A Breton farmer,
who neglected to take the usual precaution
of putting his tomcat to death before it
completed its seventh year, was found dead
in bed one morning with his throat ter
ribly torn.
Suspicion fell upon innocent persons,
who were likely to be hanged on circum-
stantial evidence. Luckily, boy observed
that the cat of the house was always
watching the corpse with eyes that blazed
with rage. So he fastened to the dead
mans arm a string, the end Of which he
dropped through the window into the
yard. Then he told the police to watch
the body secretly, while he pulled the
string. They did so. When the boy gave
the string pull, the corpse's arm jerked.
The cat imagined its master had revived.
With one bound it sprang upon the bed
and furiously tore away at the corpse's
wounded neck. Whereupon it was con-
.demned to be burned alive and the sus-
pected persons were set free.
1t is believed that cats viciousness de-
pends to great degree upon the length of
its tail. If the end of it's tail be cut off it is
unable to take part in the witches sabbath
When Walloon maiden wishes to refuse
suitor with contumely she gives him cat
and tells him to count its hairs. 1t is gen
orally believed in France that bachelor
who treads on cats tail will find no
woman to marry him till full year has
passed by. In Germany, in England and
in France many a religious fete of the Mid
die Ages eliminated in pitching cat off a
height or into a bonfire. Indeed, as re-
Gently as 1918 a decree was issued at Ypres,
in Flanders, forbidding the throwing of a
cat off high tower in commemoration Of
a Christian festival. Fontenelle told Mon
crif that he had been brought up to believe
that not single cat could be found in
town on the eve of St. Johns, because they
all went on that day to the witches sabbath.
1t is readily ineligible from this why the
people on that day threw into the fire all
cats that were foolish enough to be caught.
They actually believed that in doing SO
they were ridding the country of sorcerers.
