CAT SUPERSTITiONS.


Queer Beliefs of People Of Ancient
Egypt Regarding Puss.
The inha bitants of ancient Egypt are
believed to have been the first people
to attempt to domesticate the wild spe-
cies Of felinae now represented by the
common house cat. This belief Is based
upon the fact that sculptured repre-
sensations Of such animals are found
upon their monuments Of the year
1000 B. c., more than 1000 years be-
fore they appear on European monu-
ments. An Egyptian tomb of the year
1900 B. G. is the first to show a sculp-
tured representation Of the cat as a
domesticated animal. those Of the
greater age first mentioned probably
representing the creature in its wild
state. In the relief sketch Of the date
last mentioned, 1900 B. c.. it Is unmis-
takably pet. being shown as seated
beneath chair. The Egyptians of
that age mummifled dead cats just as
they did human beings and in many
instances entombed hundreds Of thou
sands Of them In a single pyramid or
pit. Bubastis was the Egyptian cat
goddess and was always represented
as having a cats head. Among that
queer people puss was regarded as an
emblem Of the sun, it's eyes being sup
posed to vary in color and in the size
Of their pupils with the progress Of
that luminary across the heavens.

owner went into mourning and shaved

WlNGLESS BIRDS.

Few ZEALAND Swarmed With Then
Before Its DISSIPATION ~ Man.
For ages before its occupation BY
man New Zealand swarmed with great
wingless birds, which found there no
carnivorous enemies, but an abundance
Of vegetable food. The moas not only
existed In vast numbers and for thou
sands of years, but had such diversity
Of form as to embrace no less than sew
en- genera containing twenty-five spe-
cies, a remarkable fact which Is un-
paralleled in any other part Of the
world. The commonest kinds in the
North island were only from two and
one-half to four feet high. Those of the
South island We're mostly from four to
six feet tall, while the giant forms,
reaching twelve and thirteen feet, were
always rare.
Immense deposits Of moa bones have
been found in localities to which they
appear to have been washed from the
hills in tertiary times. Skeletons on
the surface Of the ground, with skin
and ligaments still attached, have CIV
en- the impression that these birds have
been exterminated in very recent years,
but other facts point to different con-
clusion. Tradition seems to show, &C
cording to F. NJ. Hutton. that the moa
became extinct in the North island soon
after the arrival Of Maoris In New Tea
land-that Is. not less than 400 to 500
years ago. and In the South island
about 100 years later.
The fresh appearing skin and liga-
ments are supposed to have been pre-
served BY unusually favorable condi-
lions.

THE MALE BASS.
How He Looks After the ERxs and
the Little Fry.

''The female fish has no maternal in.
st1ncts whatever" said the superin-
tendent Of the state fish hatcheries.
In fact, the fish is the most unhuman
creature in eXistence-that is, of the
animals which have any degree of in
telligence at all.
Perhaps it is well that it is 50, for If
the parent fish took care of their young
as other creatures do the waters Of the
earth would be flied with them in
very short time. Under natural condi.
tons not one egg in a million ever be-
comes a fish year old. AS an ex-
ample, have seen female brook trou.
go up into the spawning places and
spawn their eggs and then turn
around and deliberately eat them.
For the past few years 1 have been
much interested in experimenting with
bass and studying their ways. Here
the male parent has some maternal in
stincts apparently. He builds the
nest for the female, some little pocket
with a gravel bottom protected from
the strong current, but with plenty of
fresh water, and then hugs or pushes
the female into it. The eggs are
spawned by the female, who swims
away and leaves them to their fate
The male fertilizes the eggs and then
for few days watches over them,
tanning them occasionally to insure
circulation Of fresh water and keep
Ing off other fish who would devour
the eggs. The male fish have been
known to follow the little fry for sew
eral days, protecting them until they
were able to care for themselves.
Il have seen a school of, say. 1900
bass fry devoured in five minutes by
p few sun bass or perch minnows
Under the case OF the fish hatcheries
from 80 to 95 per cent of the eggs be-
come fish fry. How many Of the fry
live to be year old or SO after they
are planted in the streams 1t Is very
hard to determine. 1t depends so
greatly upon conditions that no relia-
BILE estimates can be made."-Milwau-
kee Wisconsin.

The word calico has a queer origin
Many centuries ago the first monarch
OF the province of Malabar, in Hindu
stan, gave to one of his chiefs as a re-
ward for distinguished services his
sword and all the land within the limit
of which a cock growing at a certain
temple could be heard. From this cir
cumstance the little town which grew
up In the center of this territory was
called Calicoda, or 1.-The Cock Crow
ing" Afterward it was called Calicut,
and from this place the first cotton
goods were imported into England
bearing the word calico.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 1.-Joseph
Cans, the chocolate -colored whirlwind,
bid goodby to the pleasures of the race
track Thursday night and moved his
effects over to Crolrs gardens, Alamo

will pay no attention to anything but
hard work from now on until he steps
into the ring with Mike (Twin) Sulli-

Willie Fitzgerald, who is to meet

From now On the Brooklyn boy will

when he is through training as to
whether it will be possible for him to
make 1873 pounds for Battling Nelson
in case he should win from the Balti-

joe Cans has been told by many of
his friends that he made great mis-
take when he agreed to box Sullivan at
142 pounds, and it is almost certainty
that had AL HEREFORD still been the man
ager of the colored pugilist and maxi
ing his matches he would never have
agreed to fight at the high weight.
Cans, however, has been very anxious
ever since he broke away from Herford
to show that he could and would put
up a great fight. He expressed mis-
willingness to meet any man within
reason for almost any kind of purse
and before any club that would match
him.

speaking of fighting and eating Parker

could not stand to go to fight The

No, a man can not fight on vege-

living that way. He has kinder

WHEN BUDDING SAILORS LEFT
Significant Call for "Navy Flip" Too
Much for Them.

Much for Them.
Several midshipmen from the naval
academy at Annapolis were in Wash
ington on their vacation, and as they
were making the rounds Of the cafes
and hotels it was apparent they were
impressed by their own Importance.
They sat at table in the palm room
of the Willard hotel discussing celebrl-
ties. They did not think much of Gen.
Miles. spoke slightingly of the marine
corps, and boosted of their intimate
acquaintance with Admiral Dewey
and other officers of his rank. Their
voices could be heard even in the re-
mote recesses of the room.
For a short time the midshipmen
highly entertained the other patrons
for whose benefit the conversation
was carried on. Then the hearers
became bored. Finally man sitting
at table next to the one occupied by
the midshipmen summoned waiter,
and when he was several feet away
called out: waiter, bring me q
navy flip"
81 never heard of that drink. How
Is 1t made" said the waiter.
'It's made with condensed milk and
little hot water" he replied.
The midshipmen went out in a few
minutes.
