1t appears that The Herald yester-
day, in an editorial on the subject of
straw bonds, took an erroneous view
of straw bail at all. The property of
the bondsmen was amply sufficient to
cover the amount of bail required. The
law requires only that bondsmen shall
the amount of the bond, and that they
shall so swear. The figures quoted were
involved in altogether another question.

paIuU1ng q Cat,

There is at least one place in the
world where the cat was until recently
held in high honor and received the at
tention due to one of so high station
in life. That place is India, where in a
fortress the sentries Invariably used to
present arms to every cat that appeared
on the scene
The custom is accounted for by this
singular anecdote, which comes from
what appears to be good authority:
Some so years ago it happened that
very high English official died in an
Indian fortress, at place that is one Of
the centers of Brahmanic religion, and
at the moment when the news of his
death met the sepoy guard at the main
gate black cat rushed out of it,
The superstitious guard presented
arms to the cat as a salute to the dying
spirit of the powerful Englishman, and
the coincidence took firm hold upon
the locality, that up to few years ago
neither exhortation nor orders could
prevent Hindoo sentry at that gate
from presenting arms to any cat that
passed out at night. -Harper's Round
Table.

SKATING IN OLD DAYS.

How the Sport Became Popular In New
York City.
While skating is low one of the most
popular sports of the winter season it
is only comparatively few years since
it has become so in this city. When the
Central park was being constructed in
1860 and the small artificial lake at
Fifty ninth street was nearly completed,
the park commissioners announced that
it would be thrown open for the use of
skaters. A few men took advantage of
the invitation, but women could not be
induced to 60 ON the ice. The skates
then in use were of the most antique
pattern, some Of the runners extending
a long way in front of the foot, ending
in a ringlike curl. In a crowd these
skates were quite dangerous, and the
first year skating was anything except
popular.
During the next winter the larger
lake at the upper end of the mall was
in such condition that it could be used
for skating. Here there was more room
for the sport, but still the women could
not be induced to venture on the ice.
A number of gentlemen determined to
overcome this prejudice and organized
the New York Skating club, having a
regulation patterned skate, almost even
with the sole of the boot, which was
laced up tight to the ankle, while the
Objectionable strap was done away
with, the runner being fixed to the sole
while in use by ball and socket and
held firmly with a clamp. These be-
came popular that winter with the men,
and lighter kind was made for wom-
en-. The prejudice, however, still ex-
listed among the latter, until the club
invited lady, who was fine skater,
from Portland, Me-, to visit the Cen
trail park and skate with the club. This
lady wore a pretty and appropriate
dress, similar to that worn in winter by
women skaters in Europe, and she
created such a sensation by her artistic
skating as to attract much notice. The
result was that before the season ended
several young ladies were induced by
the club to venture on the ice, and the
season of 1923 found many, with
pretty costumes, enjoying the sport.
A series of carnivals were arranged
by the club during the following season,
and skating in the evening became one
of the fashionable winter amusements.

THE MARINE ;ENGINEER.
An Officer With Vast Responsibilities Who
Seldom Gets sCredit.

An Officer with Vast Responsibilities Who
Seldom Gets sCredit.
From the time, less than so years
ago, when the first steam vessel crossed
the Atlantic the evolution Of the marine
engineer has been rapid, but he is the
one class of marine craftsman that,
above all others, has kept pace with the
developments of this fast speeding age,
and he stands today the most finished
product of a century that has created
more new types and more new occupa-
tions than any that has preceded it. The
marine engineer today is more impor-
tant than any deck officer, but his i'm
portance is as little recognized by the
nonseafaring man as his identity is con-
cealed from the view of those who tray
ell in ships. Down in the bowels of the
vessel, he controls not only the propul-
sion, but the steering, lighting, pump
ing, anchoring, ventilation of the mod
ern marine structure, and on the war
ship he is even responsible for the
manipulation of heavy guns. The eyes
that steer the shi p are those of the Off
Ger of the watch, but the brain that
guides the ship to her destination and
regulates her internal economy is the
brain of the marine engineer His is
the real responsibility, and, we are
afraid, his is the least share of the hon
or that is given to those who serve their
country Or their employers with courage
and devotion on the sea.
All the world heard of the gallantry
of Captain Kane of the Calliope in
working his ship out of the Samoa an
chorage in the teeth Of cyclone. Who
heard of the struggle of the engineer
officers with the machinery down be-
low, and how many know even the
names Of thJIr?-PaIl Mall Gazette

Hens and Iron.

A French physician has invented o
method by which he says iron can be
given in large doses. Hens, he noticed,
have powerful internal organs. They
can digest considerable quantities of
iron and then render it back, through
the albumen of their eggs, in form
which is easily digested by the weaker
stomach of mankind. So he feeds his
hens with what he calls "a very absorb
ent salt of iron,'' mingled with grains
Of wheat, and they lay eggs extremely
rich in iron already digested.
