The lot ~ the average nineteenth
century cat does not compare favorably
with that # itl1ncestors. Everybody
knows that the early Egyptians held
the cat sacred, and any one injuring a
sacred animal was liable TO severe pun
ishment. Among the ancient laws of
Wales was statute which prohibited
the slaughter of cat under curious
penalty. The owner of the slaughtered
animal held it by the tip Of the tail,
with it, nose touching the floor, and the
slayer had to give him, by way Of COM
pens. .t.on, as much wheat as would
bury the entire animal out of sight.
The grain was supposed 10 represent
the amount that the owner would lose
through ths depredations Of vermin by
being deprived of the cat.
SaSony, Switzerland and other En-
ropean countries also had laws enacted
for the protection Of cats, which were
regarded Of economic value. Now, how
ever. pussy is simply decorative do

mo BOXES SOLD HERE

A Sign Displayed In Shops Which Guard
Carefully Their Regulations.
.'No Boxes Sold Here is the sign
that hangs in one Of the principal
jewelry establishments in the city. The
sign made its appearance after the shop
ping of one Christmas season. But there
is no time of the year in which the de-
mand for boxes is quite discontinued,
and the sign serves its purpose always.
The demand for boxes was prompted
by the amiable desire to deceive some
friend or relative into the belief that
the article presented to him came FROM
the best establishment in the city. Sim
liar attempts are made a. the well
known glass and china shops, at one Of
the well known French confectioEers
and at all of the establishments which
have made a reputation in some pas-
ticnlar field.
Nearly all Of these answer such ap-
plications with the words of the sign.
s.No Boxes Sold Here. but there are
some few which sell them as regularly
as they do other objects of merchandise
and are quite indifferent to what be-
comes of them 80 long as they get their
rather high prices for the empty boxes
bearing the name Of the firm. Similar
indifference is shown by a well known
English pickle factory, which allows
its labels TO be sold here and pasted
over any sort Of stuff that the pur-
chaser of them happens to concoct.-

and that the mail bag must contain a
morning newspaper addressed TO him.
The coveted paper found, the aged
postmaster proceeded to read TO the peo-
pie who had crowded into the long

crowd stood a very patriotic but igno-

Little Dad Language In London Outside
of Pestscoat Lane


of Petticoat Lane.
Little rough or rude language is used
by tho English. They even fight with
out swearing and get very drunk and
noisy without employing strong Ian
guage They love to chaif and guy each
other, and the crowds and the street
people who drive horses and peddss
goods and hang about the corners az
great deal wittier than most Of Us give
them credit for being. but they seldom
resort to bad language | never heard
much Of it until went to Petticoat
lane, and I know a woman who has
lived here two years and been constant
IL about town who tells me that in that
time she has only heard one cath from
an Erglishman's lips The worst word
/ heard in Petticoat lane was bloody
That, however. is the worst word
could have heara-in English opinion
it is the foulest word there is | have
only heard one man use it and he did
not speak it he was very angry. and
he spelled it
am telling you this because l know
that at home in America we associate
it with the English and put it in Eng
Iishmen's mouths in our anecdotes, as
if it were a matter of course that It
should be used to give a local color to
an English story. Americans come here
and make use of the word for the comic
value that they attach to it. and yet
assure my readers that if they tried to
think of any really disgusting term they
had ever heaTd and made use CT instead
they could not more startle or shock
these English ears.
English sailors have brought the
word "bloody" to our shores-sailors
and prizefighters and stablemen, and
only such persons cling to it here
What we consider very much fouler
word has a vastly wider circulation
b is net considered as bad as
"bioody" All this is very strange and
requires native to explain it, especial
" as '-0loody" is merely the contrac-
tion of the cath "by our Lady, , which

Of pink Italian marble, costing 500
