Measuring brides for legacies is the
remarkable ceremony which annually
takes place In st. Cyrus, quaint little
village In Kincardineshire, Scotland,
on the brink of the German ocean.
More than fifty years ago II native OF
the village. who had been paymaster
general of the Indian army, bequeath-
ed sam of money, the interest of
which was, for MI time coming, to be
disbursed In five equal parts every
year. One part was for the purchase
of meal for the poor, while the remain
der was set aside To be divided among
each years four conspicuous brides
the Oldest, the youngest, the tallest and
the shortest--who were married In st.
Cyrus parish church.
The administration of the fund Is In
the hands of the parish minister and
unhappy at times is his task, such are
the jealousies which arise among the
competitors, for there Is keen rivalry
for these legacies. which amount to
hardly more than $50 each But that
Is quite an important sum in so remote
and simple village. All st. Cyrus
turns out on bride measuring day.
and the occasion is made holiday.

in the conversation between three small
Reading boys the other day. The parts
played by their respective grandfathers
in the civil war were being depicted by
two OF the boys in vivid colors Inc
career of each, it seemed, had been
halted by confinement in southern pris-

the lads laid particular stress. The
third youth, unable TO match these re-

his own forefathcrs, preserved an enyi-

A RABBIT CAT.
The Mnnx TaiIless Feline Was Once
Seacoast Freak.


1t seems probable that the tailless
Manx eats originally came from Corn
wall. They managed TO survive longer
as a distinct breed in the Isle of Man
than in Cornwall, the predominance Of
the common tailed cat being Of course
aided in tho latter district by the fact
that, although remote, it is part Of the
mainland of England, whereas new
cats could be carried to the Isle Of
Man only by sea. The Manx cat which
first attracted modern attention was n
very different animal from the vari-
ously colored specimens which now
take prizes at cat shows. 1t was al
ways of the color of n hare and had
fur like hare.
Like a hare, too, 1t always moved its
hind legs together It's chief food was
crabs caught on the beach, and when
transported inland from the seacoasts
it very seldom. il ever, survived long.
No cat of this kind has been seen for
many years in the Isle of Man, though
there are plenty of tailless cats, its
crossed descendants, to be purchased
there. Wherever it originally came
from, the Cornish or ManX cat was
more nearly a separate species than
any kind of show cat now existing.
1t was Il seacoast animal, with fur,
color. absence of tail and method of
locomotion obviously adapted by the
Inheritance of ages TO its habit OF
cotcliutr crabs and other small life be-
hind the ebbing tide.

STUPIDITY OF SHEEP.
The Way These ExnSperatinxly
Foolish Animals Court Death


A sheep herder gives some of his ex-
perience in handling sheep on the west
ern ranges in the following:
We have to watch them every min
ute, and If vigilance is relaxed for an
instant the entire flock is likely to COM
NIT suicide. In handling most animals
some degree of self help or Intelligence
can be relied on to aid the owner IN
saving their lives but sheep seem to
set deliberately to work to kill them
selves.
If caught in storm on the plains
they will drift before the wind and die
OF cold and exposure rather than move
100 yards to windward to obtain shell
ter in their corral. TO drive sheep
against the wind is absolutely impos-
sible. | once lost over 1000 head be-
cause | could not drive them to n cor
raj 200 feet away.
In the corral they are still more fool
isb. If storm comes up, they all
move down wind" until stopped by
the fence. Then commences the pro-
ceeding so much dreaded by sheepmen,
known as ''piling." The sheep will
climb over one another's backs until
they are heapcd up ten feet high. Of
course all those on the bottom are
smothered. Not one has sense enough
to seek shelter under the lee of the
fence as a horse or dog would do
Again, If sheep gets into quick
sand its fate teaches nothing to those
that come Immediately after, but the
whole flock will follow the leader to
destruction. No more exasperatingly
stupid animal than a sheep walks.

losses them into a nail box. 1t Is not
because he Is penurious. for he Is quite

Such was the experience of severa
pedestrians of this city whose duties
called them out early last Monday
morning. 1t had rained during the
ffight previous ana the temperature
was sufficiently cold to freeze the
rain as 1t fell. AS result every walk
in the city was as smooth and slip
perry AS glass. This being city of
hills, and steep, too. the chances for
falling were extra good. Some got
down the steep grades by sitting on
a board, "let'er go gallagher" AS the
boy says, while others, after striking
the walk 'ker bump" decided to go
the remainder of the slope in SIT
ting position, board or no board.
Many incidents proved amusing to
say the least. So far as learned no
accidents occurred, which is not only
miraculous but fortunate indeed.
An Irishman, in order to cele-
brate the event OF Il new era, went
out on lark. He didn't get home
until three o'clock in the morning
and was barely in the house before a
nurse rushed up and uncovaring a
bunch of soft goods showed him trip
let's. The Irishman looked up at the
clock which said three, then at the
three of kind in the nurses arms
and said: "O'im not superstitious, but

also been some change made in the

are also to be considered AS to
