Animal SuperstitiOus.

There are many animals that the SUI
perstitious consider it unlucky to kill.
Among them may be mentioned lady
bird, martin, robin. stork and a
money spider, while to kill a wren
means that you will break a bone be-
fore the year is out. Many animals are
also supposed to herald death, and SUI
perstitions in this direction are so nu-
merous that only few can be men,
toned here. The most commonly
known is the clicking or tapping of
the beetle called death watch, which
is reckoned as an omen of death to
some one in the house.
The bowling of dog at night near q
house is supposed to predict the death
of sick inmate, as also the setting of
white pigeon on house bodies death
to some one Iii the house, while, again,
an old sewing among tie superstitious
runs mo person can die on a bed or
pillow containing the feathers of a
white pigeon"
That the gnawing of furniture by
rats presages death is also a common
superstition. To meet certain animals
is considered lucky, while to meet 9TH
ers is the reverse. For instance, to
meet sow with litter of pigs is very
lucky, but it is unlucky if a SOW
crosses a travellers path. To meet a
weasel is lucky, but should a hare run
across the road in front of you it
augurs bad fortune.

Senator Benton OF Missouri was a
model of tenderness and devotion to
his invalid wife. 1t seems that during
her later years her mind became I'M
paired by paralytic stroke, but she
never failed to recognize her husband
and was fond of being near him. Once
when her distinguished husband was
entertaining a foreign prince in the
drawing room Mrs. Benton came to
the door in a state of undress and
stood gazing at her husband. The at
tention of the company being attracted
in her direction, Benton turned to see
what the attraction was. On perceiv-
Ing his poor wife he Immediately rose,
went to her, took her tenderly by the
hand and, leading her into the room,
said, my dear. Prince So-and-so:
prince, Mrs. Benton, sir" Then af-
fectionately placing a hassock for her
by the side of his chair he resumed
his seat, and. leaving one OF his hands
in hers for her to toy with. he went on
with the conversation. The prince was
quick to take in the situation and
adapted himself to the occasion with
conscmmate tact, while all the Mis-
sourians were deeply affected.

Babylonlan Creation Legends.

Babylonian Creation Legends.
The story OF the creation, as told on
the clay tablets of ancient Babylon, il
interesting. Several deities appear to
have been regarded as in existence at
the beginning of things At least two,
Apsu and Tiamat, represented chaos,
and the former rebelled against the
gods in consequence. The chief strug-
gle was between him and Ea, whose
son, Bel. created the world. Man was
made by Marmuk, who In spite Of the
difference in name may have been iden-
teal with Bel The creation of man
was the eliminating event OF the his
tory. Marmuk told Ea that he intend
ed to perform his task and asked his
father TO behead him. Man was to be
made out of Marmuk's blood and bone.
Marmuk appears to have survived de-
capitation, as he subsequently took
part in the councils of the gods.
Many parallels between these leg
ends and the Hebrew story of the crea-
ton can be detected by scholars. The
idea that seven days were devoted to the
work may have long antedated Abra-
hams time. The oldest tablets yet dis
covered are not originals, but copies.
These date back only 66S-626 B. c..

Passed the Bottle TOO quickly.


Will Low, the painter, told a story of
the Latin quarter days of Robert Louis
Stevenson. Low and Stevenson were
great friends IN their youth. Their
friendship indeed continued up to the
time of the writer's death.
Louis" said the artist, was no less
diplomatic than brave. He could be
fiery, and he could also be gracious and
pacific. One night, l remember, we
sat in a garden in Montmartre. The
red wine had been flowing pretty free
ly, and one of our party got heated
and aggressive.
"Finally some one said a thing that
this fighting chap disliked. AS soon as
the words were spoken he grabbed up
a bottle and hurled it at the others
head. 1t was strong, true shot and
would have hit the mark had not Ste
venson sprung to his feet and caught
the missile.
Tut, tut, George he said to the
thrower; tut, tut. If the bottle is
passed so quickly, none of us will be
able to STAN out the evening. New
