THE SHREWMOUSE..
Superstitions About a Harmless Little
Animal

Supersttions About Harmless Little
Animal.
The shrew, or shrewmouse. as 1T is.
commonly called, is found in nearly all
parts of the world. 1t is distinguished
by an elongated, pointed muZzle, small
eyes. plantfgrade, six toed feet and
glands that secrete musky fluid. AL
together it closely resembles mouse,
but it is really not related to the mouse
family
When at home it is either under q
pile of rubbish or in q hole which it
has burrowed in the earth It is noe
turnal in it's habits, but perfectly harm
less. Yet at one time it was much dis
liked and prosecuted because it was
thought to be dangerous, mischIevous
animal. Among the Italians the notion
was prevalent that the bite of shrew
was extremely poisonous. The French
and the English believed that If
shrew ran over an anfmars foot the
animal felt great pain and eventually
became paralyzed; hence if horse,
a COW or goat became 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 starvation.
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 little numb in its limbs its owner
hurried to the ''shrew ASH" cut
switch from 1t and switched the
''shrew struck" beast. The smarting
caused by the switching naturally
made the helpless animal move about
as much as it possibly could, and in
short time it was pronounced cured"

ABSENCE OF MIND.
A Funny Story About Anpere, the Fa-
nous Mathematician.

nous Mathematician.
You all know the old joke Of the pro-
fessor who, bordering over the saying
that in a railway accident absence Of
| body was a good deal better than abb
sence of mind, went to the nearest
railway station and tried to take a
| ticket "for the nearest railway acct
dent" so as to have the matter proved
| to his own satisfaction. You doubt
less know the story, too, of the pro.
fessor Of mathematics whose new par
lor maid told him when he rang at his
own door that Professor Jones was
out. "I'll call again, I'll call again." he
said and went away.
But these are stories merely. Here,
however, are some incidents from real
life: Ampere was remarkably absent
minded. Hundreds of stories of his
observation-disclosures are told, but quite
the funniest is that of his dinner at the
house of NJ. Fontanes, the grand mas
ter of the University of Paris. For
joke somebody had told Ampere that
he must go to the dinner in his aca-
demician's uniform of green and gold
and girt with his sword. When he got
to the house he was very much an
noyed to find everybody else in ordi-
nary evening dress. II will get rid Of
the sword at all events" he said to
himself and slipped it behind the cush.
ions of sofa. After dinner Ampere
forgot himself, as usual, and became
lost in abstruse calculation. He took a
little piece of chalk out of his pocket
and began working out problems Oh
the black satin cover of the mantel
piece. He became so absorbed in what
he was doing that all the guests left
without his noticing them, and when
he wrote down O. L. D. no one was
left in the room except Nine. Fon-
tanes, and she unfortunately sat fast
asleep on the sofa where Ampere's
sword lay hidden.
Ampere went down upon his knees
and pulled gently at the sword, so as
to get it away without waking the
lady. He pulled and pulled, and pres
emily the sword came out-without the
scabbard. At this moment Nine. Fon-
tanes awoke and alarmed the house
with her screams OF terror at seeing a
man on his knees before her with a
drawn sword in his hand.
But mathematical professors have
not the monopoly of absentminded-
ness. La Fontaine, whose fables are
the delight of adult Frenchmcn and
their children's earliest task, went to
the court of Louis XVI. to present a
copy of his fables to the king. And he
forgot the book. Fortunately, the king
knew La Fontaine, his fables and his
foibles and gave him a thousand pis-
toles about $3.50. Unfortunately,
though, La Fontaine left the money in
his hired carriage on his way back to
Paris.
But the prettiest piece of absent
mindedness of which have ever heard
was that of Professor PozZi, who ask
ed lady who was bewaillng the fact
that she had no children whether she
thought the falling was hereditary.
This is even more amusing than the
delightful answer made by the engl-
neer of the Seine tunnel, NJ. Berller, to
a servant who told him when he went
to call upon his lawyer that that gen.
tleman had died that morning. oh
said NJ Berlier, dear, dear. I'm so sor-
ry. But tell him J won't keep him q
minute st. James Gazette.

Equal to the Occasion.

Some time ago a friend of mine got
a curious present from Il sea captain.
1t was fine specimen Of the bird
which sailors call the Laughing jack
ass" and he was a little proud of It.
AS he was carrying it home he met a
brawny Irish NAVY, who stopped and
asked him:
'Phwat kind of a burrd is that,
sorr?"
That's laughing jackass," explain
ed my friend genlally.
The Irlshman, thinking he was be-
ing made fun Of was equal to the oc-
caslon and responded, with a twinkle
in the eye:

Oil Walls at Sea.

The whale is by no means the only
source of marine oil. Though little
known to fame, the humble menhaden
yields oil and fertilizer worth $1,000
600 year, giving employment to 1,S00
fishermen and 1000 employees of fifty
factories. The people who are so
probably engaged in Strengthening
T0OOO0,000 Of these fishes every year
naturally claim that they were created
providentially for the express purpose,
since they are not fit for food, and yet
the supply seems inexhaustible. No
one knows whence they come or with
er they go. All we know is that every
spring vast schools of them appear In
the gulf of Mexico heading north in
closely packed masses, near the surface,
utterly incapable of either defense or
escape. All that is needed is simply
to scoop them up with big seines.-
