Deaf DOGS Are Rare.

People have been known to excuse
watch dogs for dereliction Of duty on
the. ground that the dogs might be
hard Of hearing. This excuse ought
not to go. A veterinary surgeon Of
Cleveland remarked that In his thir-
ty-flve years experience he had never
heard of a deaf dog. His remark led
to inquiries among two or three other
yeterinaries and not one had ever
heard of a dog that couldn't hear.
When a watch dog or any other dog
doesn't hear a man. that Is prowling
about the house it is because it doesn't
want to hear. Horses are frequently
treated by veterinaries for deafness,
and even cats are hard Of hearing &C.
casionally, but deaf dogs seem to be
unknown in Cleveland at least-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

this denationalized Englishman, when
he may be as solitary as you wish to
be yourself. not act as every true Eng
lishman ought and go into the next
carriage or take a seat at the other

can get from you? By all acknowl-
edged laws of English intercourse he
ought as much to dislike being near

Tho Mohammedan Oath.

OF all the many forms Of taking the
oath used In the courts perhaps the
most picturesque is that which the Mo-
hammedan is required to take. 1t Is a
silent ceremony. The son Of Islam
places his right hand fat upon the
Koran and puts the other on his fore
head; then he brings his forehead down
to and In contact with the book. He
then raises himself and looks up stead
tasty for some seconds. The officer of
the court should then-though he some
times forgets this-ask the Mohammed-
an, Are you bound by the ceremony
you have performed to speak the
truthT' and the answer is, II am" In
India the ceremony has been abolish,

CLEOPATRA.
The Story Of Her Death From tho Bite
Of an Asp.

Tho story OF Her Death From the Bite
Of an Asp.
It is admitted that Cleopatra killed
herself to avoid being exhibited at
Rome in the triumph Of Octavius, who
had made war upon her and Antony be-
cause the latter had divorced his (Oc-
taviusD sister on the queens account.
But did she die from a snakes bite?
It Is better to think not. III her death
had been caused by any serpent, the
small viper would rather have been
chosen than the large asp, but the
story is disproved by her having deck
ed herself In the royal ornaments and
being found dead without any marks
or suspicion Of poison on her body"
Death from a serpent's bite could not
have been mistaken, and her vanity
one which would have dis6gured her
in 80 frightful manner.
Other poisons were well understood
and easy Of access, and no boy would
have ventured to carry an asp in
basket Of figs, some Of which he even
OAeIeu 10 TIC SudIuS A6 ue pdSSeus 0uu
even Plutarch shows that the story of
the asp was doubtful. Nor is the statue
carried in Augustus triumph, which
had an asp upon it, any proof Of his
belief In It, since the. snake was the
emblem Of Egyptian royalty. The
statue Tor the CROWN Of Cleopatra
could not have been without one; and
this was probably the origin Of the
whole story.

. BIRD suPERsTITIoNs.
Queer Beliefs That Were Held by tho
Ancient Mariners.

| Ancient Mariners.
| Birds as inhabitants of the air were
naturally chosen by the ancients as
oracles and augurs Of future happen
ings. The sensitiveness to atmospher-
ic changes shown by many birds aided
IL establishing these notions. The real
Indications often furnished by sea
birds Of coming storm or calm were
doubtless magniied by the anxious. su.
perstitious sailor.
The custom of hanging the sea swaE
low so that the bill may point to the
wind arose from the old time custom
Of suspending the bird by the feet, ex-
pecting it would renew its feathers as
IL alive.
Divination by the fight Of birds was
favorite method in the olden times.
Sailors watched their fight for indica-
lions Of prosperous voyages and favor
ing winds. AS they were thought to
fly through the air to heaven, they
easily became messengers of the will
Of the gods.
The albatross is believed by Jack tar
to sleep on the winds. 1t was at one
time thought that the petrol Matched
its eggs under its wings.
The kingf1sher was at one time kept
: In chests to keep away moths.
The fishhaw k was esteemed bring
or Of good luck; It BODIED good or evil
as its cry was to the right or left.
There was an old superstition that
gulls were never seen bleeding. Shoot
ing stars were then supposed to be the
half digested food of winter gulls.

WHEN BOSTON SHOOK.
An Earthquake That Rocked tho City

November, 1855.
On November IS. 1865, "a little after

writer of the times gives an account
of the catastrophe, and Rev. Henry
White quotes it in his EARLY History
of New England"
One hundred chimneys were leveled
to the roofs of the houses and fifteen
hundred were shattered in part. The
streets were covered with bricks which
had fallen. The ends of brick houses
were thrown down.
It was first introduced with noise
like several coaches rafting over pave.

Of paving stones thrown down. The
first motion was a strong pulsation,
which threw my house upward. I'm
mediately after tremor succeeded
then instantly a quick vibration with
sudden jerks followed.
The first view I had was of the
steeples of the churches, and I was
glad to see them standing, but the
spindle and vane Of Faneuil Hall
market were thrown down.
Many persons ran into the streets
shrieking with apprehension Of its be-
ing the last day or the Judgment and
some thought they heard the last
trumpet sounding and cried for mercy
The beast creatures lowed, the birds
futtered in surprise, and all the ami
NAL creation was filed with terror
Every face looked ghastly, and many
knees smote together. Never was such
q scene Of disaster in New England be

DRUGGING OR LOU DILLON.
The Famous Gold Cup Trotting Scan
dial Case Soon for Trial

New York, March 2s.-The famous
gold cup trotting scandal involving the
alleged drugging of Lou Dillon in the
race against Major Delmar at Mem
phis in 1904. and the valuable trophy
which the Memphis Trotting associa-
ton sought to recover from Elmer E.
Smathers. was again in the New York
courts yesterday. when ex-Congressman
J. j. Adams made application to the
supreme court to have the case against
Mr.. Smathers dismissed on the ground
that the decision of the matter by the
National TrottiIIg association has dis
posed of the charges.
The application was opposed by the
attorneys tor Murray Howe, and the
Memphis association on the ground
that the Memphis association was not
a member of the National Trotting as
ISOLATION and that any action by that
body could not affect its claims. The
contention was upheld and the applica-
ton denied and the case will come to
trial within a few days.
Murray Howe, secretary of the Mem
phis association, is now in the city with
some IA different witnesses who it il
said include many well known men In
the trotting world and some of the lead
ing turf writers. prepared, he declares
to support his original charges Of
fraud.
