Oriuin of Seals,


The origin of seals is lost In the
shades Of antiquity. In Assyrian and
Babylonian ruins seals still are found,
and it is certain that their use passed
from those countries to Greece and
Rome, to all European countries and
from England to America. Originally
they were set in rings. The earliest
references TO them in Biblical history
is found In Genesis xxxviii. where it
is recorded that. pending certain nego-
tiations between judah and lamar,
the widow of his son, lamar demand
ed a pledge and judah gave her his
signet and other belongings. And
when Ahab, king of Israel, tried to
buy Naboth's vineyard and couldn't
his wife Jezebel "wrote letters In
Ahab's name and sealed them with his
SEAL" In the Book Of Esther, chapter
viii, it is written that King Ahasuerus
said to Esther and Mordecai. write
We also for the Jews, as 1t liketh you
in the kings name and seal it with the
kings ring, for the writing which Is
written in the kings name and sealed
with bis ring may no man reverse"
Seals doubtless were used long be-
fore the stirring events described In
the quoted chapter Of Genesis. but no
one took the trouble to write about
them. From the time of jeremiah to
William the Conqueror the pen was
practically unknown to king. noble or
peasant, so the seal was absolutely
necessary Kansas City Star.

and strain in the pursuit of it to the
point of heartbreak. One might sup

How Animals Learn.

DR.. T. Zell. q German naturalist, has
collected many instances to prove that
animals learn by experience and thus
become wiser than their uninstructed
parents. Game animals Of all kinds,
he AYERS, have learned the range OF
modern rifles. GreyhOunds quickly
learn to let rabbits alone, and fox
hounds pay no attention to either rab-
bits or hares. Killer whales and gulls
follow whaling vessels. just as vul'
lures follow an army Crows begin to
accompany the channels hunter as
soon as they have seen the result OF
his first successful shot. and rough
legged buzzards follow the sportsman
after winged game. The number OF
birds that kill or injure themselves
by flying against telegraph wires Is
much smaller than 1t used to be. Dr.
Zell also refers to the fact that
birds and quadrupeds have learned to
disregard passing railway trains. as
horses quickly cease to be frightened
by automobiles. His instances Of the
intelligent election exercised by sheep
dogs are familiar to all.

Wine CargOes Arrive

New York, Oct. BIAS if it were
that all America suffered from one
great thirst, six large ocean liners
and several smaller boats came
hurrying into the port of New York
inthepast sc hours laden with cham
payne, wines, brandy and liquor
But the thirst which promoted
the haste was one of gold-not for
liquor
At midnight tonight the duty
on champagne jumped from Sc to
S9.60a case, and other wines and
liquors proportionately, because
of the termination OF a tariff agree
ment of the United States with
France, Switzerland Bulgaria.
For several weeks importers have
been anticipating the change and
so many large consigments of intox-
icants have been rushed to New
York that it is possible that never
before has so enormous a quantity
of drink been on hand here at any
one time.
The United States Government,
| in accord with the action Of the
authorities of France, ordered the
customs office at New York to re-
main open today and until mid
night.
La Touraine, of the French Line,
came closest of any of the incom-
ing ships to losing the race against
time, tide and tariff.
She steamed into port late in the
evening, and her commander, Cap
tain Mourand, was taken off in a
tug to the customs house, where he
presented affidavits that he had
300 tons of wine and liquors
aboard for admission under the
lower duty. His papers were 0 KID
thus saving the importers nearly
100000.
The White Star liner Baltic, the
American liner St. Paul and the
Amerika, of the Hamburg American
Line, reached their docks earlier in
the day, allladen with thousands OF
cases of champagne, brandy and
liquors.
Prices of champagne, other wines
brany and other Continental liquid
importations affected will probably
be raised throughout the United
States.
