Odd Animal Laws.

When dog was unlawfully killed In
countries differing SO widely as Ger
many and Arabia the owner of the ami
NAL used to be indemnified in the fol
lowing manner: The dog was hung up
by the tail, with the point of its muzzle
touching the ground, and the man who
had committed the offense was obliged
to pour over it corn or flour until the
carcass was completely hidden by the
heap. This heap then became the prop
erty of the man who owned the dog.
In Syria there was a specially curl
ous variation for If it were a street
dog that was killed the flour was made
into bread and given to its fellows
No doubt this arose from the value at
tached in those old parts to street dogs
as scavengers. By the old Welsh laws
Of Howell the damages for killing an
animal belonging to another were as
sessed in the same odd manner.

Upon the minds of such people as
The Hawaiians were, while under theil
5ncient form of religion, it was but
natural that superstition should gain a
rooted hold. The most curious and ef'
fective belief to which they We're made
subject was that man can be prayed
to death, a belief that survives among
the natives to the present day. For
the success of the tragical death prayer
It was necessary to obtain some hail
or a piece of finger nail Of the intended
victim. A priest was then employed
to use incantation and prayer for his
destruction. Always informed of the
doom that the priest was invoking upon
him, the victim generally pined away
and died.
There is a story that an Englishman
in the service of Kamehameha |. hav.
ing incurred the displeasure of priest
the latter proceeded to remove" hin
by the death prayer process. The An
glo-Saxon, however. set up an opposi
ton altar in derision and jokingly pro
claimed that he intended to pray the
priest to death. Alarmed at the threa
and overwhelmed at the failure OF hi'
own incantations, the sorcerer died
proving by his death his faith in hi
religion.

We do not think that either Washing
ton or New York or any other city VIII
ever become the social capital of the
United States as London is the social
capital Of Great Britain. Washington
will come much nearer to it than 1t
does at present, but the country Is too
big to have social capital. Hordes Of
people will come to New York to make
money, to amuse themselves, to study,
to live their lives in the least restricted
atmosphere that the country offers, but
only very rich people will come here to
find and occupy a place In organized
society. Pleasant people will always
find pleasant playmates here. There Is
no lack of good company for everybody
that is companionable. But the charm
of New York for people who still live
elsewhere is not in its society, but In
its shops and shows, Its sunshine lts
eating and its drinking. 1t Is pleasant
1t grows finer every day. When 1t is
finished it will be marvellous city, pu'
hardly the social capital OF the coun

lIIIIz md Apples.

Though no one would think so from
looking at fluid glass of milk and a
solid apple, the percentage of solids
and water in apples and in milk is al
most the same, apples being So per
cent water. and milk SO per cent.
There is more sugar in apples and
more acid In milk. A diet of both ap-
pies and milk is one of the most whole
some and we'll balanced. The potash
contents Of both are high. They are
the best for brain, bone and muscle
nourishment, and in their effect upor
the nerves they are soothing.
In skimming milk the cream remov
ed lessons the fat percentage, and fol
older people or fat children the skin
milk is equally desirable, in some cases
better. In eating apples the skin, too
should be eaten. Pared apples are no
so nutritious, as the ash contents o
the apple skin are valuable to the hu
man system.
