4 sris. Which Failed.

The incorruptibility of English
judges is practically beyond dispute,
yet some of the countrymen Of the
judges do not realize it. Judge
Morris tells Of 4 case in which an
Irish baronet, who held strong no.
tions as to the divine rights Of land
lords, refused to pay for the dam
ages done by his deer to the turnip
crop of farmer into whose fields
they had broken. The baronet's
point was that the deer were wild
and that therefore he could not be
held responsible for them. The
court, needless to say, made short
work of his plea. But before the
case came on he must needs have
one of the deer shot by keeper
and haunch sent to the Judge who
was to try the issue. OF course the
gift was returned with . scatMng
denunciation. "My dear fellow y

The Gypsies.

Gypsies first appeared in Europe
about 600 years ago. They were
supposed to have come from e gypt
and were called Egyptians, from
which fact comes their name. Now
it has been proved conclusively from
their peculiar language that they
actually came from northern India;
They first appeared in Turkey and
Greece, later finding their way into
the Balkan states and Hungary.
From these latter countries they
spread throughout Europe. Small
and dark, nomadic in their habits
and many of them "pettily theftu-
ous," to quote Robert Louis Steven
son, they have never amalgamated
with the people among whom they
dwelt. However, they are credited
with many good qualities by persons
who have studied them sympathetic
afly.-London News.

The Cat Has Been an Important rev.
sonaas In Many Nations.

.on.as In Many Nations.
Miss Pussy not only boasts an
ancient history, but as far back az
history goes she has been quite an
important parsonage. The EsyP-
tians reverenced cats. They had .
hospital for sick kittens, and such
ss died were embalmed and buried
with much ceremony. Mourning
was also worn by the family to
whom the beloved kitten belonged.
This mourning was not black
clothes, but shaved eyebrows.
Though the Egyptians do not do
quite so much in these days, they
still think great deal of cats,
They have a high officer called ia
ther of cats, and near Cairo Is a
building where every day feast is
spread. to which are invited all the
cats of the city. No doubt you
have heard the story of Cambyses
coming to fight the Egyptians and
taking advantage of their reverence
for cats by fastening before every
soldiers breast live cat. OF course
the Egyptians dared not hurt these
cats. and so they were conquered.
The Chinese are likewise fond OF
cats. but, sad to say for the cats, it
is in stew.
In Rome and also in London the
owners Of cats pay man certain
sum of money monthly, and every
day he walks through the streets
uttering peculiar cry. All cats
know him and come from all dlrec-
tions to get their dinner He is
called "the cats meat man." Cats
have always been highly valued in
Wales. They are kept about grana-
ries to catch rats. In the old days
ANYBODY stealing one of these cats
had to give for her u sheep or a
lamb. Should the cat chance to be
killed she was hung up by the tail
until her head touched the floor
and wheat poured over her until the
tip of her tail was covered. All this
wheat the thief had to give to the
cats owner.
The United States government
keeps more than 800 cats in the
postoffice department to guard the
mails from rats and mice. Before
these cats were employed valuable
letters were often destroyed. These
