An odd Jewish Ceremony.

An O00 Jewish Ceremony.
In the Jewish Encyclopedia is an ac-
count of the queer ceremony of the
taking off brother-in-law's shoe by
the widow of a brother who has died
childless, through which ceremony he
is released from the obligation of mar
rying her. The ceremony is described
as follows:
The yabam (brother-in-law) must
have his right foot, on which the shoe
is placed, washed very scrupulously,
and after he has strapped it on he
must walk four cubits in the presence
Of the judges. Then the chief of the
judges reads the following passage,
which the yabamah (woman) repeats
word for word: my brother-in-law re-
fuses to raise unto his brother q name
In Israel; he will not marry me-" Then
the yabam Is required to repeat the
sentence, II do not wish to take her"
He then presses his right foot against
the floor while she looses the straps
with her right hand, takes off the shoe
and throws it some distance away.
Then she places herself in front of the
yabam, spits on the floor in front of
him and repeats these words after the
presiding judge: $50 shall it be done
unto that man who will not build up
his brothers house, and his name shall
be called in Israel the house of him
that hath his shoe loosed'"

Cats and Cattle.

In certain parts Of southern Califor-
mia it is absolutely necessary to have
cats to successfully raise cattle. The
cows feed on a red clover which
makes a superior quality Of beef. This
clover grew very sparsely until it was
discovered that one farmer who had
raised a large number of tabby cats
always had fine clover fields. Investi-
cation proved that the cats killed the
field mice who killed the wild bees
who fortified the clover seeds by car
rying the pollen from flower to flower,
thus causing the seeds to sprout thick
ly every year. Now all the farmers
have many cats
