Some Superstitions.

In many countries there is a superst-
ton that when ants are unusually active.
running to and fro about their nests, foul
weather is sure to occur in a very short time.
Many of the East Indians, particularly
among the Hindoos of South India, believe
that monkeys can speak, but will not do SO
for fear they will be put to work.
In hunters lore there is an idea that the
jackal is the lions proviier; that he To-
Gates the game and takes the lion to 1t.
This superstition has no more foundation
than is found in the fact that after lion
has slain his quarry the jackals always
attend and wait the conclusion of the repast.
In order to pick up the ieavings.
To kill martin in all folklore is con-
sidered unlucky.
Portuguese fishermen say that the black
spot on each side of haddock's head is
an imprint of Peters thumb and fingers.
According to the tradition the haddock was
the fish from which he took the piece of
tribute money miraculously found in its
mouth.
In South Italy there is belief that
the chameleon takes no food but air.
= In alilands ravens and crows have been
considered birds of evil omen.
In most parts OF Europe 1t is considered
unlucky for hare to cross the road In
front of a traveller. Among the Romans
this omen was so unfortunate that If
man starting upon journey espied hare
on the road before him he would return
and wait until the following day TO begin
his journey.

would be complete without mentioning
Catherine Drcxei. the noble woman who
has consecrated her life and her vast in
heritance TO this cause. The religious
order founded by Miss Drcxel in Phiia-
delphia about five years ago, and OF which
as Mother Catherine she is the superior,
has for its only end and aim the proInulga-
ton of the faith among the Indians. She
began her work with a small band of
devoted followers and with great wealth
TO surnlount financial difficulties and un-
conquerable courage TO overcome the bar
riers of ignorance and indifference.
In June, 1892, the archbishop of Santa
Fe wrote to the Cardinal: Eight thousand
Catholic Indians live around me, and, ow-
ing to the opposition of the late Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs, our schools are
in a very precarous condition. Four day
schools have been closed, and St. Catha-
rine's Industrial School, under our contract,
has through some technical objection re-
ceived no funds; and were 1t not for the
magnificent charity Of Mother Catherine
DreXel the work of eyangeliZation could
not be kept up here"
Again, we find another record in a letter
the Bishop of Duluth wrote in May last
to Father Stephan: I'm this last year
Mother Catherine Drexel, by her generous
donations, has enabled the missionaries to
build a new church, costing about So 900.
In White Earth, also, she and her sister,
Mrs. Morell, of Philadelphia, have erected
a handsome brick building for the mis-
sion schools. at an expense of $4,000"
Those who labor among the Indians
spend a life of self-denial that requires
the courage of the martyr. For all their
noble efforts they meet with discourag-
ingly small success, particularly when they
endeavor to follow up the conversion of the
Indian ' civiliZing him. Their innate thrift
lessness is the greatest obstacle. These
children of nature are almost unteachable,
but the Catholic missionary, following
the divine command, go and teach all
nations" will keep steadily at his work
so long as the Indian tribes remain in ex-
jstence or will refuse to become ANAL
ramated with the whites.

About tw cnt y-iiye years ago, when the
present Indian policy was inaueurated,
government officials endeavOred to dis
cover from various eources v fsere Catholic
Indian missions were located. There was
no person assigned TO give this desired
information, consequently the Catholic
Church lost many agencies that W ould have
remained under her charge.

dition of affairs, the present Catholic In

The claims which the Catholic Church
advances for being the evangelizer of the
world never received more flattering rati-
fication than when the greatest of Eng
glish historians Macauley, wrote:
~There never was and there never will
be work of human policy SO well de.
serving of examination as the Roman
Catholic Church. No other institution is
left standing which carries the mind back
back to the times when lions leaped in
the Flavian amphitheater and the smoke
of sacrifice rose from the Pantheon. The
proudest royal families OF Europe are of yes
terday, compared TO the line of Roman pom
tirfs, and the Catholic Church to-day is
still sending 10 the furthest ends OF. the
world missionaries as Jealous as those who
landed in Kent with Augustin.''
Nowhere is the broad and generous policy
of this church SO gloriously written as in
the history of its labors among the In
dams of North America. The Canadian
savages had missionaries teaching the great
doctrines OF Christ long before the May
flower had started on her famous voyage.
IN the South the Franciscans, two hundred
and fifty years ago, had penetrated along
the course of the Rio Grande, sowing the
seeds OF truth and civilization. The story
OF the heroic Jesuit missionary, Marquette,
is as well known as the discoveries OF Column
bus and the host of lesser explorers who
followed his example.
In more modern times Father de Smet
Is the most interesting figure in the his
tory of Indian missions. Accompanied by
a native guide and one devoted companion
this Jealous priest fifty years ago penetrat-
ell into the wild and treacherous region
OF western Montana. His first labors were
among the Blackfeet tribe, and the success
whicn attended them is worthy of the early
apostolic days of Christianity.

Under the oid law, dogs could only b. in

FROM the 18th OF June to the 18th OF Sep

OF this kind
Many years ago a young and guileless
newspaper man became interested in the
dog-catching business, and Whenever an
opportunity offered he would get in
buggy with the pourdmaster and drive
around the city. On one occasion, when
the reporter and poundmaster got to- {
gether, they proceeded into the county, &C I
panied by a couple of assistants, TO a !
neighborhood from which complaints of
stray cattle had been frequent. After some

As a haven of refuge for mans canine
friend, Washington has its dra wbacks. The
dog is commonly regarded as thing with
Il cinch-an animal for which man and the
laws he makes have few terrors, but in
this city OF magnificent distances and an
ordinary but very effective pound, he has
to hustle for his two-dollar tag oF-his-name
is Dennis.
Every day in the year cage on wheels,
resembling q small circus wagon, manned
by two stal wart colored men with big nets
in their hands, patrols some part of the Dis
trict, and any and all dogs seen without
the metal appendage that stamps them as
a source of revenue to the local government
dangling from their collars, are liable to
lose track OF their homes while being cart
ed away to the pound.
In the face OF these facts, 1t is not sur
prising that statistics furnished by that
Institution show that the dog, like poor Lo,
is becoming less frequent. Such vast num-
bers of them have been converted into fer
tilizer and other finely ground material
during the past twenty years, that the won
der is that dogs have not become a side
show rarity. With an average OF about
1850 CANNES killed every year for the
past quarter of a century, it's enough to
discourage any dog.
The pound, presided over by Mr.. Samuel
Einstein, Is situated away down on the
commons back OF the old Naval ObServa-
tory, at the foot of Twenty street
A little whitewashed hut stands in one
corner of O high board fence Enclosure,
from which a chorus OF big and little yelps

THESE ARE LUCKY DOGS
Under a shed at one side of the yard are
three metal cages, each containing an as
sortmept of dogs In one cage the dogs capt

other are the dogs whose hours OF grace
number about twelve, while in the third
are confined all dogs that show good
stock and breeding, in the hope that they
may be redeemed or Sold These are lucky
dogs. III
Down in one corner of the yard, out of
sight of the cages, stands the snubbin'
post, where dogs become good. When a
batch of dogs have stayed out their time

August and September are the harvest
months for the dog catchers. In addition
to the fact that the mild weather causes
the dog to start out early and keep the
