A Cow Superstition.

According to Indo-E European folklore,
the clouds of the heavens were nothing
but cows who were invested with the
duties Of psychopomp. At times these
clouds descended to the earth and as
sumed their bovine garb, but their
duty remained the same; hence the su-
perst1tion prevalent in many agricul-
tural countries that a COW breaking
into garden foretells death in the
family. The psychopomp was merely
looking for a soul to escort to the here

A Rush Order.

An old woman in Cincinnati brought
wornout Bible to publishing house,
explaining that it had been in her fam
lily 200 years. She asked the publisher
to make her new one just like 1t, add

and would stop for the new Bible on

query as to how much 1t would be.

Made II Brief.

DR.. John Kerr, in bis book Of mem
oirs, recalls a number of humorous
Scotch stories. For example, there is
the story Of the "argumentatively
tipsy" Scot, who, calling on the minis
ter and being told to go home and re-
turn the next day when he was sober,
replied, Man, minister, when I'm so
Der I dinna care for religious converse
tion." Then there is the story about
Thomas Thorp, who died leaving his
fortune to poor relative on condition
that headstone with the name of the
said Thomas Thorp and a verse of
poetry be erected beside the grave.
Costing so much a word to chisel let
ters in the stone, the poor relative or
dered that the poetry should be brief.
Upon his refusal to approve on ac-
count Of their too great length the
