Clay Pipes In Graves.

A very curious old custom is asso-
ciated with intermentS in the GENE
terry of Labruck, Connemara, Ireland.
A box of pipes-short clays-is brought
with the coffin, and pipe with tobacco
is served out to each mourner The
pipes are smoked in silence after the
earth has been filed in and a mound
Of stones raised above the grass, the
ashes are solemnly knocked out on the
top and the pipes broken or left behind
The origin of this custom is unknown.
but it is thought to be emblematic Of
''ashes to ashes, dust to dust" Empty
black bottles are also to be found scat
tered about the site.

ODD SHOE FACTS.

Greek shoes were peculiar in reach
ing to the middle of the legs.
The present fashion Of shoes was
introduced into England in 1888.
In the ninth and tenth centuries the
greatest princes Of Europe wore wood
en- shoes.
Shoes among the Jews were made Of
leather, linen, rush or wood; soldiers
shoes were sometimes made Of braA
or iron.
In the reign of Richard II. shoes
were of such absurd length as to re-
quire to be supported by being tied
to the knees with chains, sometimes OF
gold or silver.
In the reign of William Rufus of
England in the eleventh century
great dude" Robert the Horned, used
shoes with sharp points stuffed with
tow and twisted like rams horns.
The Romans made use of two kinds of
shoes-the solea, or scandal, which COW
cred the sole of the foot and was worn
at home, and the calceus, which COW
cred the whole foot and was worn
abroad.

SAVAGES AND BRUTES.
Odd Attitude of the Primitive Man
Toward All Animals.

For the primitive savage animals are
mysterious, problematic beings, pos
sessed Of wide knowledge of the
things of nature. They know much
more than they are ready to tell us. In
some way or another by the aid of
senses much more refined than ours
and by telling to each other all that
they know everything for miles around
And if man has been lust" toward
them they will warn him of a coming
danger, as they warn each other, but
they will take no heed Of him if he
has not been ightforward in his
actions. Snakes and birds the owl is
a leader of the snakes. mammals and
insects. lizards and fishes-all under
stand each other and continually COM
municate their observations to one an
other.
Inside this vast brotherhood there
are. Of course. the still closer brother
hoods of beings "Of one blood" The
monkeys. the bears, the wolves, the
elephants and the rhinoceroses, most
runlinants. the hares and most Of the
rodents. the crocOdiles, and so on, per-
fectly know their own kin, and they
will not tolerate any one of their rela-
lives to be slaughtered by man without
taking in one way or another honest
revenge. This conception must have
lad an extremely remote origin.
Even now when a savage is hunting
he is bound to respect certain rules of
prOpriety toward the animals, and he
must perform certain expiatory cere-
monies after his hunt. Most Of these
ceremonies are vigorously enacted even
nowadays in the savage clans, especial
ly as regards those species considered
the allies Of man.
1t is well known that two men be-
longing to two different clans or tribes
can become brothers by mixing the
blood of the two obtained from small
incisions made for that purpose. but
it was also quite habitual for man to
enter into brotherhood with some ami
NAL. The tales continually mention it.
An animal asks hunter to spare it.
and if the hunter accedes to the de-
mand the two become brothers. And
then the monkey, the bear, the doe. the
bird the crocodile or the bee-any one
Of the sociable animals-will take all
possible care Of the man brother in the
critical circumstances of his life, send
ing his or her animal brothers of diff
ferent tribes to warn him or help him
out of a difficulty. And if the warn
ing comes too late or is misunderstood
and he loses his life they all will try
to bring him back to life, and if they
fail they will take due revenge, just as
if the man had been one of their own
kin.

 It would not be doing justice to the middle ages if the account of the uni corn was withheld. It was the size of a horse, though its legs were shorter, and it's hide had generally a tanned color There were three kinds The mag nificent white unicorn had a purple head and blue eyes. The horn was a cubit in length, white in the lower part, ebony in the middle and red at the end It had the head of a stag and the tail of a boar. The eglisserion was like a gi- gantic deer and had a very sharp horn. The monoceros was like an OK. The or dinary unicorn of the middle ages had horn three feet in length, and so sharp and hard that nothing could resist It. When he prepared to fight the elephant, the animal he hated most of all, he sharpened his horn against a stone, and, when the day of battle came, dealt the enemy a fatal blow in the paunch. This noble animal fell an easy prey to the Vaccinations of innocence and virtue. In India, especially among the dwellers of the Ganges when it was desired to tame a unicorn, young and virtuous girl was chosen and led into the cave. The ani- nal at once appeared and did homage to the damsel and was easily caught and tanned by the engaging wiles of the maiden.
