A wholesale agitation is now
going on in Texas against the prac-
tice of putting box car size brands
on cattle. Time was when it was
necessary to do this, but cattle
stealing is practically a thing of the
past, and the loss of millions Of dol
lars on account of too big brands can
safely be stopped. There is room

why the Cock was Burned.

Whatever the frogs Of ireland may or
may not have suffered from St Patrick
there is no doubt that snails, flies, beetles
rats and GELS were communicated, or
threatened with accommodation, by 9th
or saints and bishops, and however fabu-
lous may be the story Of the iackdaw Of
Rheims, it is historical fact that cock
was publicly burned at Basel in August,
l474, for the diabolioal crime of laying an
egg, the. egg being also burned lest it
should produce cockatrice or fiery flying
serpent.
"On the Thursday before St Lawrence's
day, writes Gross in his 'Kurtze Basler
Kronik, they burned a cock on the Ko-
lenberg, together with an egg which he
had laid, for they feared that dragon
might be Matched therefrom. The execu,
tioner cut open the cock and found three
more eggs in him, for, as Vicentius saith
in the sixth book Of his Speculum Natu-
rale, it hath always been held that cock
in his old age may lay an egg, whence
ariseth basilisk, if it be hatched out on
a dung heap by the serpent called coluher
Wherefore the basilisk is half cock and half
serpent. He saith also that certain persons
declare they have seen basilisks Matched
from such eggs. ''-Cornhill Magazine
