A QUESTION OF JEWISH Law
Involved in Litigation Before the
Baltimore Courts.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Baltimore, July 16.-Judge Dennis has
decided that bodies may be removed from
Jewish cemeteries, and thus concluded a
case that has been in Baltimore courts
for some months.
Abraham Herman and Bertha Herman,
his wife, died in 1880 and 1873, respec-
lively, and were buried in the cemetery
of the Shearith Israel Congregation. The
sons of the deceased, Jacob and Henry
Herman, became connected with the
Baltimore Hebrew congregation, and
asked permission to remove the remains
of their parents to the cemetery of the
latter organization. Permission was re-
fused on the ground that such removal
would be violation of the Jewish law
The matter was referred to various
that such removal would be no breach
of Jewish law. The Messrs. Her
man then went into court and prayed
that the Shearith Israel congregation be
restrained from preventing the removal,
and that they be permitted to enter the
Cemetery of the Congregation and obtain
the bodies of their parents. Several
rabbis from other cities testified in the
case, for and against, and the outcome
was awaited with much interest. The
right of the Messrs. Herman to the Gus
tody and possession of the bodies of their
parents, it was claimed by their counsel,
was a sort of property which court of
equity would respect and enforce. This
right, they commended, could neither be
abrogated nor affected by religious canons
by Judge Dennis and the prayer was
granted

everything they can get hold Of
One reads a great many stories
illustrating the intelligence of
rats but from all accounts these pack
rats would seem to be the most clever of
their tribe Trappers and campers out
In that part of the country tell innumer-
able stories about them. They will steal
| knives, forks, Spoons anything, in fact,
that is bright and portable carrying the
stolen articles to their nests to play with.
1t is alleged that they always put some
| thing-a bit of wood or what not-in
! place of the thing carried of. l have
listened by the hour to tales recounted
by the woodsmen OF the deviltry of these
animals-yarns which would seem to in
dictate that the four-footed thieves have
large sense of humor, though so lacking
| in conscience.
THAT they are conscientious about
leaving something in payment for what
they take, however may be judged from
one story which happen TO recall. A
| hunter, who told the yarn to me in evil
dent good faith, had gone to sleep for the
/ night leaving his knife stuck into log
! His dreams were disturbed by noises
which he could not account for Finally,
! by the titful light of the campfire, he saw
a couple of rats sitting upon the log in
which his knife had been left. The knife
was gone, and the rats were trying to put
a piece of stick about a foot long in its
place. They were making ali effort to
get the stick TO stand up in the crack
but, not having the skill required TO IN
sert it properly, it fell repeatedly, max
ing the odd sound which had puzzled the
owner of the knife.
PINE FOOD IN THE DESERT.
''Pack rats sometimes come into houses
on the frontiers The wild rats of the
woods and deserts do very little damage
to agriculture; they live in regions where
there is not much in the way of crops 10
devour In the deserts they live on the
seeds of desert plants, such as the screw
bean. Death valley is full of rats. We
found a new species there that climbs the
yuoca tree. 1t is probably the only NAM
NAL that is able to accomplish this feat.
The trunk of the yucca tree is clad in an
armor of spines which project downward.
But the rat literally gnaws It's way up
the tree, making a spiral ladder as goes.
In the deserts the socalled kangaroo rats
are plentiful, but they are not real rats.
Our native rats belong TO a different
group among mammals from that which
embraces the European rats. The black
rats were the first 10 come 10 this country
from abroad. They have been driven out
by the gray wharf rats, so that one sees
them comp aratively seldom nowadays.
They are sui found IN parts OF New Eng
land and extensively in the southern
states. The roof rats of Europe so closely
resemble the black rats that some natu-
ralists believe them to be the same
species. They exist in some portions Of
the eastern United States, occupying the
roofs of houses For matched roofs they
have special prediction. The biggest
rats in the world belong in the neighbor-
hood of Manzanillo, a port Of western
Mexico. They are reddish in color and
attain length of twenty inches"
