Why Women Are Afraid of Mice.

In all ages women were supposed to
be more prone to superstition than
men, and who knows but that the
dread of a woman on the appearance
of a rat or mouse may not be due,
In part at least, to an ancient super
stition which has Travelled down the
ages from the time when our remote
forefathers believed that rats and mice
were the souls of the departed? Nj
merous are the stories which made the
ancients believe that souls were rats
and mice, and some of these stories are
very curious.
"In Thuringia, at Saalfeld," says
Barring Gould, "a servant girl fell
asleep while her companions were
Smelling nuts. They observed a little
red mouse creep from her mouth and
run out Of the window. One of the fell
lows present shook the sleeper. but
could not wake her, so he moved her
to another place. Presently the mouse
ran back to the former place and dash
ed about, seeking the girl Not finding
her, it vanished. At the same moment
the girl died"

The owl was in former times gen
orally regarded as an omen of mis-

OF an owl the Athenians. who Were
under the care of this goddess, looked
upon the appearance of the owl as a
favorable omen. 1t therefore formed
upon the ancient coins referred to the
