HiahIand superstitIons.

In the western highlands of Scot
land an ancient custom suggestive of
the pre-Christian days is still in force.
When child is born all the old wom-
en- of the neighborhood meet in the
house and place straw rope around
the child's neck. At the same time
they chant a curious charm, which is
supposed to ward OF fairies and evil
spirits. So great an Importance do
the inhabitants attach to this cere-
mony that they believe it would be a
tempting of providence" TO neglect it.
When any one dies the relatives dig
the grave. taking the greatest possible
care to remove every stone from the
mold. Stones in the grave interfere.
1t is said. with the rest of the dead.
Also. they are particular to cut the
turf which is to cover the mound in
one piece, as otherwise they believe
water would get into the grave and
make the body uncomfortable.

Il want to tell you eat story (the

of which were content, and more, in
the care and love of gentle heart
The cat, Kitty, was very fond of the
bird, and would sit beneath the cage
and listen to the singing with every
evidence of pleasure and pride. Two
years ago last summer Mrs. r. was
in her rear yard with her flowers
when Kitty came running to her. new
ing loudly, and then ran back toward
the house, repeating her dumb efforts.
Finally. Mrs. r. said, We'll. Kitty. I'll
come in and see what is the trouble
AS she passed in the door a strange
cat ran out. The cage was on the
floor. and the bird was dead. And
now for the real heart of the story.
for the veracity of which | can vouch.
The empty cage was rehuns in the
window: Kitty came and stood be-
meath the cage. looking up and new
ing. For two days she stood, then she
lay down: she refused food; dellca-
cies that once she had enjoyed she
did not notice. On the morning of
the fourth day after the bird had died
Kitty was found dead beneath the
empty cage. She had loved the bird
and she could not live on without it.

Allow for More Years Than the 6ibll-

Actuaries employed by insurance
companies adopt standard method
of computing prospective ages of
risks. To ascertain how many years
a person of given age is ordinarily
expected to live, the present age is
deducted from eighty. and two-thirds
of the remainder will indicate the
likely future span of life. Actuarial
schedules are a unit in this system
of calculation. In Illustration of the
above statement Age twenty de-
Quoted from eighty years shows that
forty twelvemonths are the allotment,
while age sixty from eighty. leaving
balance of twenty, represents that
thirteen years and three months
should, in favorable routine. elapse
before the insured invididual's life is
classified In the past tense column.
Thus it will be observed that insur-
ance corporations go the Biblical al
lowance OF "threescore and ten" ten
