STRANGE BELIEFS ABOUT ANIMALS.

In various parts of the world generally
in those countries in which education
is backward, strange Superstitions exist
with regard to the animal kingdom. Deep
students of sociology and religion claim
to see in these beliefs a survival of the
age when the creator was worshiped in
the form of animals, as in ancient Egypt
cats were deified and in India a sacred
character was and is attributed to cat
tie. s
Perhaps Asia Minor is more rich in
these crude and interesting .fancies than
| any other country. When children hear
an owl hooting from the cypress groves
they cry, Good news fer us; good mes

they hold it up by the beak and chant,

| The crow is here looked upon as I'M
| lucky, and the children cry when they

The hair of dog, the skin of a snake,

to possess medicinal qualities, while the
handling of a toad is said to give warts.
German-Canadians are full of supersti-
ton. A white spider crawling toward

portents of death. The killing of a toad

UNDER NEW LAW.
Lumberjack Arrested for Refusing
to Work.

DULUTH, Mimi. Dec. 30:-The first
case in this county in which a lumber
jack was prosecuted for refusing to WORK
after having been given his transporta-
ton, is reported from Tower.
Yesterday H. Hammarack was brought
down from that place and taken to the
county jail to serve a fifteen days SEN
tence. He was convicted of fraud, the
Leisure Lumber company being the COM
plainant Hammarack hired out in this
city to the company through an employ
ment agent He had his railroad fare
paid to Tower, but after reaching his
destination refused to go to work. He
claimed that he had hired out to drive
team The foreman explained that there
Were no teams at hand just then, and
for a a few days he could do swapping.
This was quite beneath HammaracK,
who declared that he was through
swampfng about twelve years ago.
The foreman then asked nlm to work
out his railroad fare, and again HANNA
rack refused. His arrest followed. The
law on which prosecution was brought
was passed last winter by the legisla-
ture. The lumber companies had been
complaining that they lost hundreds Of
dollars each year by paying mems rail
road fares and receiving no work from
them 1t is the custom for the logging
men to pay the transportation when men
work any reasonable length of time, but
in case the environment is not just what
the employee thought it was, he can work
few days to pay 1or his transporta-
ton and leave.
