GROUND HOG DAY.
Survival of a Festival of the Middle
Ages In Europe.


Ages In Europe.
The origin of ground hog day is ac-
counted for in the following way: Feb.
2, or Candlemas day. was a favorite
holiday, marked by public gayety and
ceremonies in Europe during the mid
die ages 1t is still marked there by
the closing Of banks and offices, but
not otherwise, outside of the reading
of church services. In the church cal
endar it is known as the Feast of Puri-
fcatiOn of the Virgin and was first in
stituted by Pope Sergius about the
year 6S4 A. D. The popular name of
the day is derived from the early Gus
tom of lighting up the churches with
candles and carrying these in process
sion on this festival
AS to the weather superstition giving
to Candlemas the name of ground hog
many it is the badger that breaks his
winter nap on this day to essay the
thankless task of weather prophecy; in
France and Switzerland it is the mar
mot and in England the hedgehog. OBJ
servation shows, says the Housekeep-
er, that none of these small animals
do thus observe the date fixed; also
that the weather on this date does not
accurately foretell that of the follow
ing two months, as is supposed. But
it is general truth that in temperate
ATTITUDES warm and sunny weather in
the first half of February is apt to be
followed by change and cool spring
and on this fact our ground hog and
badger stories are founded

SHOOTING WITH MORTARS.
Hitting the Target Is Simply Matter
of Mathematics.

How do We hit with the mortars :?
An observer near the shore who sees
the target communicates the. horizontal
and vertical angle at which to lay the
mortar and the instant of time at
which to fire, and the gun does the
rest. If you were standing at the CEN
ter of a large clock dial laid flat on the
ground and wanted to hit with a base
ball a man walking around on the out
side, you would notice how long it took
the man to get from | to II and again
from : II to Ill Then you would de-
eide whether if the ball We're thrown
over point halfway between III and
Y just as he arrived opposite iii the
man and the ball would reach the
same spot at the same time, it being
understood. Of course, that he main
tanned uniform speed and direction and
that the ball was thrown with proper
force Instruments give us the range

vices give US the range differences, in

TRIBE OF CRIMINALS.
TIE Maghaya's Greatest Pride Is suc-
cessful Burglary.

:
The Maghaya is born in an arhar
field and schooled to theft from his
infancy. He lives without shelter or:
food for the morrow, perpetually NOV
ing from encampment to encampment,
chased by the police and execrated by
the villagers. His greatest pride is a
successful burglary and prolonged
drinking bout his most coveted re-
ward.
Jail offers no terrors to the dom. 1t
Is merely the result of being bun
gler at his trade. The first attempt to
reclaim the Maghaya doms in Cham
parun was made by Mr.. (now Sir Ed
Henry. He found the greater number
of the adult members of the tribe were
In Jail. Every police officer was held
responsible if any doms were found in
his jurisdiction, with the result that
as soon as a dom was released from
Jail he was usually returned thither
under the bad livelihood sections.
Agricultural settlements were estab-
lished for the tribe, but they do not
seem to have been very successful as
| civilizing agencies. The settlements
serve as houses for the women and
| children, but the men are seldom found
| in them.
| The females generally hawk stolen
property in the villages and act as
spies.--Bengal Gazetteer.

distress and resignation combined The
painter could not take his eyes off him.
and this worried Rothschild not lit

Rothschild's face frightened. and he
said, I will sit for you And he did.
One day when he was posing a pupil

satire on the state of Germany in the
middle ages, the different animals. each
Of which are given a special name
typifying different institutions. Thus
Reynard the Fox stands for the church.

Sensitive Plants.

There are plants so sensitive that if
when standing by them you should
suddenly put up your umbrella or sun
shade it would be quite sufficient to
cause them instantly to close together
their leaflets and turn down their leaf
stalks, just as if they were startled and
alarmed by the movement. Indeed,
on sunny day when the temperature
is sufficiently high you need not make
even so decided NOV ement; merely
your shadow coming in contact with
their leaves will often cause them to
fall slightly.-Strand Magazine.
