Animal

euperstitions About Harmless Little
Animal
The shrew, or shrewmouse. as it is
commonly called. is found In nearly al
parts Of the world. 1t is distinguished
by an elongated. pointed muzzle, small
eyes, plantigrade. six toed feet and
glands that secrete a musky nuid AL
together It closely resembles mouse,
hut it is really not related to the mouse
family.
When at home It is either under
pile OF rubbish or In a hole which II
has burrowed in the earth. 1t is noe
turnal In its habits, but perfectly harm
less. Yet at one time it was much dis
liked and prosecuted because it was
thought to be a dangerous, mischieyous
animal Among the Italians the notion
was prevalent that the bite of a shrew
was extremely poisonous. The French
aud the English believed that II a
shrew ran oter an animals foot the
animal felt great pain and eventually
became paralyzed; hence II Il horse.
a COW or a goat became a little stiff in
its limbs the foolish people at once de-
clared it "shrew struck" and the poor
shrews had TO suffer in consequence.
OF course the "shrew struck animal
had TO have something to cure it. so an
ash tree was selected and a deep hole
was bored into its trunk Then a
shrew was captured, put alive into the
hole the hole was securely plugged,
and the innocent little animal was left
to die of siarvation.
The ignorant believed that after
such an act the ash tree had power to
cure "shrew struck animals, and
whenever an animal became inactive
or q little numb in IFS limbs It's owner
hurried to the "shrcw ash" cut a
switch from it and switched the
"shrew struck" beast. The smarting
caused by the switching naturally
made the helpless animal move about
as much as il possibly could and in 4
short time 1t was pronounced cured"
