Onear SuperstItIon.

A curious example of superstition
wes made public the other day
through the medium of the law courts
of Berlin. A tree growing opposite
the gateway Of farmer was noticed
to be withering away and dying. On
further investigation it was found
that a deep hole had been bored in it,
probably by some person who wished
to kill it, AS the tree somewhat in
commoded the entrance to the farm
er's house he was charged with the
deed and fined. He, however, ap-
pealed to a higher court and succeed
ed in proving that the hole had been
bored by some superstitious person
who believed in the old superstition
that If illness attacks househould it
can be driven away by "burying" 1t in
healthy tree. A hole is bored in
the tree and all kinds Of medicines
are buried in the hole, which is then
carefully stopped up, amid the sing
ing Of weird incantations. This could
have been done by any superstitious
person in the neighburhood, the far
mer pointed out. The judge acquitted
him.

fENIMoRE oooPER's GREAT WORK

Types OF Fiction,

He Created Three Distinct and Notable
Types of Fiction,
Few American romancers have writ
ten 50 many books as James Fenimore
Cooper; none achieved like him, the
honor of having created three distinct
and notable types OF fiction. 1t is not
too much to say that Cooper's novel,
"The Pilot" set the fashion for all
sea stories that followed il; his "Leath-
erstocking" tales we're the progenitors
of the hundreds of romantic tales Of
life and adventure among the Indians,
and his Spy was the first great novel
with scenes and characters of the Rev
olutionary war. 1t must be admitted,
also, that no other author of high re-
pute wrote books so widely different
in merit and interest," some Of his
stories are so weak as to be scarcely
known, by name, even 10 his heartiest
admirers, yet to-day, more than half
a century after his death, some of his
books are in steady demand at all the
libraries in the land, and several pub
fishers find profit in issuing new edi-
tions for individual purchasers. No
other American novelist's works have
been so heartily received in Europe as
were Cooper's or have been as highly
praised by foreign romancers of high
reputation. Commendation as high as
was lavished upon some of Coopers
stories by Sir Walter Scott, Miss Edge
worth, Balzac and the elder Dumas
would astonish and delight the great
est American novelist to-day, who
ever he may be. Not only were his
greater books translated into most
languages of Europe, but at least one
of them, THE Spy" is still read in
Arabic and Persian.--John HabbertoD

TortnIse Is a MouaeN

A Philadelphia woman who dislikes
both cats and mice has discovered a
novel substitute for one as an exter-
minator of the other. This substitute
is nothing more or less than an ordi.
nary land tortoise.
Ever since last summer, when the
tortoise was added to the family circle
by the woman's youngest son, aged g.,
she has noticed that the mice, with
which the house had previously been
overrun, were gradually disappearing.
1t was not until the other day, how
ever, that she discovered the cause.
She was sitting very quietly with some
fancy work, and the tortoise, which
has the liberty of the house, was ap-
parently asleep in corner. Presently
a little mouse made its appearance,
and the tortoise opened its beady eyes.
Round and round ran the mouse, go.-
ting nearer and nearer the tortoise
as though fascinated. Finally it was
within striking distance. The tortoise
darted out its head, there was a snap
of the Jaws, a tiny little squeak, and
the mouse was dead.
Then the tortoise calmly and dulib-
erately set to work, says the Philadel-
phia Record, to eat its victim.

The Origin OF the Cat.

Agnes Repplier in her book on cats
entitled THE Fireside Sphinx" tells
Of tho following legend, giving the
exact account of the origin Of the do
mestic cat and the peculiar work that
she was created for;
The cat sprang into existence at
the deluge, for during the long weeks
in which the ark fioated over the
waste of waters the rats and the mice
increased 50 alarmingly that the com
fort-if there was any comfort-of the

A person of distinct genius has just
been sentenced to seven years penal
servitude in Liverpool. His name is
Charles William Burrows. He be-
gan life as a druggists assistant.
Later he was a member of strolling
theatrical troupe. Then he exhibited
a fake bullet-proof coat. When this
was played out he bought the prac-
tice and residence of a doctor, al
though he had not a penny in his
possession at the time. On the
strength of the purchase, however, he
managed to borrow 1875 and the doc
tors horse and carriage. He then
formed a syndicate to manufacture a
apparatus devised by him to generate
electricity in a new way. For several
months he drew a big salary as
manager of the syndicate and borrow
ed money right and left. Incidentally
he married three different women. He
also managed to get himself appoint
ed as assistant house surgeon in
prominent hospital, and held the post
for several weeks before the authori-
ties discovered that he was not doc
tor at all. BY that time he had made
hay in the form of more loans from
everybody in sight.
When he was arrested at last, be-
sides these charges there were the fol-
lowing against him: Larceny of pos

Washington, June 13.-The presidents reciprocity message gave the senators q live topic of conversation today. but so far as is yet apparent there is no change in the situa tion. There was a disposition on the part of the leaders on both sides of the controversy to claim. when speaking publicly some ad-
 vantage from the message. The straight reciprocity men urged that the effect would be to cause at least some of the beet sugar republicans to aban- don their opposition. They contended that some of them had misunderstood the attitude of the president and now that it had been made clear there was no longer any excuse for opposition to the reciprocity measure. The message, they said. would clear the atmosphere.
