maize and wheat there than in the
neighboring forest. I do not speak Of
the cat, to whom we are nothing more
than too large and UNBEATABLE prey,
the ferocious cat, whose sidelong con.
tempt tolerates US only as incumbering
parasites in our own homes. She, at
least. curses US in her mysterious
heart, but all the others live beside us
az they might live beside a rock or a
tree. They do not love us, do not know
us, scarcely notice US. They are I'M
aware of our life, our death, our depar-
ture, our return. our sadness. our joy.
our smile. They do not even hear the
sound Of our voice as soon as it no Ion
ger threatens them, and when they
look at US it is with the distrustfui be-
wilderment of the horse, in whose eye
still hovers the infatuat ton of the elk
Or gael that sees us for the first time,
or with the dull stupor Of the rumi-
nants, who look upon us as a momen-
tary and useless accident of the pas

Coal In Folklore.

Probably most policemen could have
answered the question Of the magis-
trate who asked q burglar in court
why he carried about pieces Of coal.
Among other coal folklore is the bur
glars firm faith that the possession
Of a piece confers good luck, and when
searched in the police station it is
usually found In his pocket. A belief
In coal as a talisman. is said to have
been held by the early Britons, and it
II certainly frequently found in their
burial places converted into personal
ornaments, such as beads, etc. Believ-
ers In dreams maintain that to dream
of coal ia a certain sign Of coming rich
es. Then, too, there is the speculum
or mirror of divination-that caused
such a sensation In the sixteenth CEN
tury-of DR.. Dee. which subsequently
formed part Of the Strawberry Hill
collection. 1t was formed Of camel
coal, though the doctor pretended to
have received it from the Angela
London Chronicle. -. !. ~,

OF All Animals, Only the Doc Has
Made Alliance With Us.
Man loves the dog, but how much
cred in the infexible harmony of the
laws of nature the sole exception, which
Is that love of q being that succeeds in
piercing in order to draw closer to rs
the partitions everywhere else imper-
meable that separate the species! We
are alone. absolutely alone, on this
chance planet, and amid all the forms
Of life that surround us not one, ex-
eepttng the dog, has made an alliance
with us. A few creatures fear us, most
are unaware of US, and not one loves
us. In the world Of plants we have;
dumb and motionless slaves. but they
serve us in spite of themselves. They
simply endure our laws and our yoke.
They are impotent prisoners, victims
Incapable Of escaping, hut silently re-
bellious, and SO soon as we lose sight
Of them they hasten to betrayE us and
return to their former wild and mis-
chieyous liberty. The rose and the corn,
had they wings, would ~ DC our APP
