TIE STOOL PIGEON.
Its Part In Capturing the Wild Birds
In Former Times.

In Former Times.
There are occasional reports of small
tlocks of wild pigeons having been
seen i'll different parts of the United
States and Canada Possibly these
are the harbingers of their return from
South America, whence they migrated
for some unknown reason fifty years
ago
1t may not be generally known that
the somewhat odious term "stool pi-
geon" as used today arose from the
stool pigeon that used to be employed
in catching wild pigeons in former
times. They used to be so plenty that
they were taken in great numbers by
the use of spring nets. These nets
varied in size, but We're from two to
ten yards long and were half as wide
They were concealed as much as pos
sible, being partly covered with hay or
straw or whatever was most suitable.
At each end was a strong spring. to
which ropes were attached, something
like $50 feet long, to where the watch
er was concealed. Close to the net was
a stool, or stand, where the "stoo pi-
geon," usually a tame or captured one,
was placed. The pigeon was tied by
the feet to the STOOL and from this
stool a rope extended TO the person in
concealment Wheat or some other
grain was scattered about the net, and
when the flock was passing the rope
attached to the stool was pulled, caus-
ing the pigeon to rise and fiutter its
wings in trying to escape. This at
tracted the attention Of the passing
flock and induced them to light where
the grain had been scattered. Then
slight pull on the ropes would release
the spring to the net. which would be
thrown over them so quickly that they
had no time to escape Sometimes
many hundreds were captured In this
way at a single haul.-Amateur Sports

The JEWISH BADGE.
Distinguishing Mark That Was Re-
CURED by European Countries.

qureG by European Countries.
To the Jews of today it is fairly well
known that their ancestors in Europe
We're forced to put up with a great
deal of humiliation One of the most
insulting methods was to require the
wearing Of badge which would
stamp the wearer as an "infidel Jew"
The wearing of a badge was made
general order throughout Christendom
in the year 1915, but it must have been
required in isolated places before that
date
The most usual form of badge was
that of ring of distinctive color at
tached to the upper garment. Any one
of French-Jewish ancestry viii know
that his forbears wore a ring Of this
sort, varying in size and in color-now
red now yellow and white, according
to the whims of municipalities and
monarchs. 1t was generally worn upon
the breast. and at one time 1t was or
1ered to be worn likewise upon the
back, so that a Jew might be known
fore and aft" When a Jew WAS
found without the badge, he was fined.
Evidence Of the wearing of this badge
is found as late as 1892 in France. The
forefatbers Of the Spanish Jews car
ried a yellow and red badge-the men
on their breasts, the women on their
foreheads. The wearing of the badge
was not so prevalent in Italy, but the
municipalities almost all required
1t. The badge was known as the
co. from its shape, resembling prob
ably the ring in France English Jews
should feel the distinction of having
had peculiar sort of badge forced
upon their ancestors. 1t was first in
the form Of a band, first white and
then yellow, and later Jews were re.
CURED TO wear badge with the shape
of the tables of the law. In Germany
yellow badges We're worn, but here the
hat was the chief means of identified
ton. In Austria and in Poland there
are few traces of the badge, but in
Hungary Jews wore a badge on their
left breast 1t Is interesting to know
that in Crete at the present day some
of the houses of Jews are marked with
the ''o."-American Hebrew.

Coffee, the inspirer,

The Italian composer. Donlzetu,
courted inspiration by means
which proved so injurious That 1t
caused the premature decay OF his
faculties. He vas accustomed to
shut himself in his room with :
quantity of mu-ic paper, pens, and
ink, and three OF four pots of strong
coffee. He would then begin to
write and drink, and when the sup
ply of coffee was exhausted. he
would order more, and continue to
drink as long as he wrote
He asserted that the coffee was
necessary for his inspiration The
result of this pernieioAs habit. was
a yellow, parchment like complexion,
with lips almS t Jet black, and a
nervous system, which soon caused
his breakdown and death.
