une Cat IN 1.nc,ent Times.


The cat was SO very highly regarded in
England at one time, both as rat and
mouse catcher, and as an ornament to
society, that we find the following saln-
tary law passed by one of the princes
of Wales:
eff any one steal or kill q Cat that
guards the Princes Grancry, he is to
forfeit a mich Eve, its Fleece and
Lamb. Or, as much Wheat as, when
poured upon the cat suspended from its
tail, with tho head touching the floor,
would form heap high enought to cover
the tip of the former
Though the Welsh had high opinion
of the cat, the ancient Egyptians had a
still higher. These intelligent and civ
ilized people treated cats with great dis
tinction. 1t was crime to kill them,
and when they died they receiyeda q pub
lie burial, at which the people mourned,
having first shaved off their eyebrows as
token of sorrow. The most prominent
oats were upon death embalmedin drugs
and spices, and cat mummies have been
found side by side with those Of kings.
When Cambyses, the Persian, attacked
the Egyptian city of Pelusis, he cunning
ly provided his soldiers with cats in
stead of shields. When the host ad-
vanced, the Egyptians retired in confu-
sion upon discovering that they would be
unable to do damage to their enemy
without seriously imperiling the lives of
vast numbers of cats. And SO the city
was taken easily and without the loss of
blood or Of cat. It cannot be disputed
that the ancient Egyptian cats must have
enjoyed life very much.-St. Louis Post

An Aberdeen lady went to a grocery
storea few days ago for a peck of ap-
pies, taking, as she supposed, freshly
laundried -four sack. She held the sack
while the clerk poured in the apples.
A singular thing then happened. The
fruit went through the sack and rolled
over the floor. On examination it was
found that there were two holes in the
bottom of the bag, both trimmed with
embroidery. The young man tainted
and the lady sent small boy after the
apples--with a basket.-Dolahd Times

About four weeks ago VIM. Perkins
and family bade good bye to their Tur-
ner county friends and started for the
northwestern portion OF the state of
Missouri, where they expected to make
their home. Monday of this week,
however. these same parties stepped
from the train at the Hurley depot, re-
marking that they had returned to
South Dakota to stay. Their two cars
of stock and households goods arrived
Tuesday. A number of parties who
left this section hoping to better their
condition have returned, and there are
more to follow.
Each year that goes by the farmers
of our country are learning excellent
lessons. They are carrying out in prac-
tice the lessons learned, How nicely
the straw is stacked from the thresher.
How the shocks of corn dot the land.
How carefully the corn is picked for
seed next year and put away as choice
as gold. How much better the COWS
are cared for since the creameries
came. How carefully the little porkers
are guarded and hustled forward as
fast as feed will bring them. How
much better the stock is kept than
twenty-five years ago. Fine grade
cattle and horses are seen on nearly all
the farms DOW. AS the years go by
our farmers will become ass careful as
the farmers of New Endgland with a
broader and richer land to reward their
labors. .-Beresford News.

The Tapping of the Deathwatch.

The SO called deathwatch, dreaded by
the superstitious, is small beetle which
has very powerful joint in it's neck
and calls its mate by tapping with its
head on the wall or on any surface where
it may happen to be located. The noise
is similar to that which may be produced
by tapping with the finger nails on a
table, and the insect can frequently be
made to answer such taps. York

that purpose, and to whisl out
of pigeon-hole, in a business-hke way,
at critical moments. The plan was an
utter failure. Not one of his fair, poetic

is "a different matter. There are men who
turn pale at the sound of the word, they
acknowledge their fear without blush,
they climb trees and awning posts to
escape from the feroe, voraoious beast of
prey. This Is what was seen, not long ago,
upon one of the principal streets of large
city. A group Of men standing upon the
sidewalk and watching with eager interest
the pursuit of rat by a terrier. Back and
forth across the street went the pursuer
and pursued. When the backs of both
were toward the men, there was hand
clspping and vocal encouragement: when
the rat neared the walk there
was Simultaneous trousers-clutching and
wild lsaping into the air. Many women
passed-some looking unconcerned. some
indignant, some sympathetic-for the rat
No one of them hurried herself, or appear
ed in the least alarmed. Again and again
the retreat and the applause; then the sd-
vance, the trousers-clutching, and the ssl-
tatory spasms of the men. This grabbing
at their own knees seemed to be mechsni-
cal and uniform, and the leaps into the air
such as any acrobat might have been proud
of. It was all distressingly funny, and
this tale, told by an eyewitness, goes to
prove that proud Man has not the least
right to seoff at weak Woman for her fear
of mouse. In the first place, she isn't
afraid, and in the second place, If she were,
she could never appear SO absurd and ridic-
ulous as does her panio-stricken brother at
the approach of poor little hunted rat.
