Cats Discussed as Snakes.

ture student. S'Well, sir, she Kisses as
a flying criminal puts on blue goggles
and false beard. With that hiss she
tries instinctively to disguise herself
as q snake.
"Did you ever notice the markings
on a cats tail? They are transverse,
like snakes markings. The print
tive cat in the wild state lived in rath-
er tall grass. When danger approach
ed he Kissed and at the same time put
up his tail and waved it slowly. The
oncomer heard that serpentine hiss.
He saw the tail, and only the tail.
which waved in an ominous serpen-
tine manner. He said snake in the
grass and withdrew.
'The cat of today, Kissing horribly
and waving to and fro his erected tail.
follows ancestral precedent. 1t helps
him not at all; nevertheless he always
! does it, thinking it the right thing. Is
not man sometimes like the cat in this
respect?''

THE MEASLES CANNIBAL.
Method Of Vancouver Island Tribe
to Drive Away Disease.

Method Of a Vancouver Island Tribe
to Drive Away Disease.
A few years ago an epidemic of
measles broke out among the Indian
tribes living on Vancouver island: in
British Columbia, not far from Fort
Rupert, and the shamans or medicine
men came to the conclusion that a can
nibal sorcerer, whom they termed the
"hamatsu" (measles cannibaD. was
Staying their children to eat them and
that he would continue to do so until
he was killed.
AS they could not STAY ghost in his
own person they arranged ceremony
in which one Of their number posed as
the cannibal and was treated as they
would have liked to treat the real foe.
This fact Of substitute was, Of
course, not made public, only the med
icine men knowing the truth of the
matter.
Against wall Of rock was painted
an imitation opening, in the center of
which the ''cannibal" was fastened.
At the proper time after going
through various lamentations, a cover
ing was jerked away, exposing the
cannibal apparently springing through
the solid rock. He was promptly grasp
ed by two of the priests, who dragged
him out and rushed him through a fire
which was burning in front Of the
place and which was surrounded by
all the members Of the tribe beating
drums and singing at the top of their
voices. By some jugglery the canni-
bal was got rid of, and the people were
told that he had flown away through
the air and would not come back.
After this ceremony had been re-
peated several times to put an end to
other epidemics, which were only too
prevalent among the Indians, it grew
into a sort of annual affair, managed
by the members of secret society
whose members know that the sup
posed "hamatsu'' was only a man.

The Composers Trick When Money
and Firewood Were Scarce.

The Composers Trick When Money
and Firewood Were Scarce.
Here is an anecdote Of Wagner's
early life as related by List: '.Wag-
ner. Bulow and i were all quite young
when we lived together in Leipzig and
had good time that is, I enjoyed
myself, but Wagner was already fer
menting with his political :,n1 philo-
sophical ideas. and our prosaic cir
cumstances offered little ground for
the idealists of the future. We called
Bulow 'Kritikus,' and we, especially I,
always feared his sharp tongue lit
tie OF course all of us had little mon
ey, but Wagner put our slender purse
to great strains. He could not bear
money worries, and we let him feel
them as little as possible.
"Once, after long autumn, it be-
came cold suddenly, and Wagner
with his nerves suffered from the
sudden change in the temperature.
He demanded heated room at once.
For two whole days the debate ragged
between him and Bulow as to the i'm
mediate purchase of wood with our
reduced purse.
II was not asked, because Bulow
knew that l would yield, but he as
treasurer contended that it was ridicu-
1ous to buy wood in the month of Sep
tember. But am freezing said
Wagner in a rage, to which the mex
orable Bulow suggested that he go out
and get warm by running or warm
himself by his muse. Laughing at his
cheap, spiteful advice, Bulow and l
went out, but when we returned after
two hours we were thunderstruck to
find Wagner in the room heated to
sufocation. He sat at his writing ta-
BILE deep in his work. His face was
red.
Where began Bulow, but the
words stuck in his throat, for a. glance
around the room showed him how
Wagner had helped himself. Several
chairs and our work tables lay on the
floor, permanently crippled. Wagner
mad cut off their legs and made the
ire with them. Bulow was speechless
with rage, but stood at the door and
laughed till the tears came at this in
gen1ous way of helping oneself. Bulow
lamented that we would have to re-
place the landlady's chairs and tables
and that he could not sit down or
work.
wagner answered spitefully: I
nave what needed! Fellows like you,
who do nothing but go walking, need
neither chairs nor tables. If you had
given me the money right off, your
valuable furniture would still be in ex-
1stence. You wished it so! Firewood
would have been cheaperv"

LOST BOTH WAYS.
A Toss of Coin With an unexpeeted
Result

Result.
"A New York travelling man was tell
ing stories of 'Toothpick Tom" IA
nous Bowery character, who lived by
his wits as gambler. Tom was
known far and wide, not only because
OF this gambling mania, which was in
satlable, but because of his quaint wit
and originality. He was an illiterate
and could neither read nor write. bnt
in the course Of his career he handled
perhaps little more than the average
gamblers share of coin raked in across
the green cloth.
"One afternoon Tom woke I'D with
a healthy appetite for breakfast said
the New Yorker HE found on in
vestigating his pockets that he had a
five dollar gold piece, and he set out
for the nearest cafe to appease his
hunger. But just as he was about to
enter the restaurant he suddenly rec
ognized the entrance to the next place
as the one leading to gambling house
which he had not visited for some
time. Tom paused. He felt himself
torn between two emotions, hunger
and the spirit of gambling.
Should he risk his gold piece on the
faro table or the roulette or should he
eat? That was the question. He might
make killing in which event. Of
course, he would eat sumptuously.
Then, again, he might lose and face
starvation. The natural thing for Tom
to do was to leave it to chance.
"'Heads up, eat breakfast; tails,
play said Tom and tipped the coin.
1t was heads up, and Tom scratched
his head thoughtfully and said:

sidewalk and disappeared. Tom look

Punishment In Effiay.

Punishment in efigy was legally
practiced in France and with great
solemnity up to the time Of the first
revolution. If the man condemned es-
capped, a dummy was put up in his
cell and the entire routine of the law
allowed to take it's course. The war
rant was read to it, and on the day
appointed it was conducted to the
scaffold in the presence Of all the le-
gal functionaries and with all the cir
cumstance of the law Sometimes
the same person was executed in efgy
simultaneously in several cities, but
that did not exempt him from actual
punishment should he be afterward
caught.
