EXTENSIVE POACHING.

It may be of interest to many and a warning to some to know that the notices frequently seen nowadays on trout streams and private lands, warning anyone against hunting or fishing, mean what they say, at least in some cases. During the past few days different par ties have been arrested and prosecuted for fishing in the Hammonassett river. In a case tried last Saturday in Madi- son an individual had to pay for his experience between thirty and forty dol lars

Cass and NgOukeys.

All animals. even the wildcat. can he
subjected In some way TO the dominion,
Of man and lie ,iomcrtIcntcd to some
extent. Here. for Instance, nrc two
very curious facts about cats. Many
persons. including some Of our greatest
naturalists. believe that our English
domestic cat is descended from th,
Egyptian domestic cat. yet all records
60 TO prove that the cats Of Egypt iiv-
eli In drovcs. were cared for In drovcs.
were fed In drovcs and worshipcd Ia
drovcs. with the result that Egyptian
cats never got iomesticntcd or became
half ms Intelligent ns ours.
The like truth Is suggested from In
dia. where monkeys arc worshipcd.
These are allowed TO become uui.
sanceS. They are fed. md they have
any amount OF liberty. And what is tho
consequence? They never lose their
innate savagery. The method Of car
ing for them has been wrong. All the
devotion and care expended on them
are practically wasted. and II we treat
ed our cats In the same fashion as the
Indians do these monkeys they would
become just rs Wild and undomcsticat-

A l.OvBug Cup.

Naturally some of the ancient city
customs arc connected with the srt OF
dining. Casfropomy and the Guildbnn
nrc inscpnrnbIy associated. Ono of the
most curious of these Is the passing
Of the loving cup. which takes pIncc at
all the guild dinners ms well as at the
banquets OF the corporation. The cup
In two handled one with lid. While
one guest In holding the lid the next
sips the spIced wine. a third. on the
other side Of the drinkcr. stands M.
Then. the brim having been wiped by
. clean napkin. the cup is passed TO the
guest hokiing the Id. lie drinks In his
turn. while his next ncIghbor takes
charge Of the lid In this way the cup
makes the round cf the table.
This custom dates from Anglo Saxon
times. The holding Of the I'D was not
then an act merely of courtesy. for the
guest who held u was thus prevented
from drs wing bis dagger and sfabbins
