I've been about the court house

my life I've never seen but one court
trial-excepting divorce cases-in
which the litigants ON both sides were

lea. No. indeed. We boast of our
civilization and of our modern judicial
system. but we haven't yet mastered
The art Of delivering Justice and equity

The Judge paused for breath.

the floor over In a corner of the court
room and the litigants sat down on

CATS ANCIENT AND MODERN.
Experts Differ a. to the Species That
the Egyptian Knew a. House
hold Pets.

Experts have held that the so-called
"cat" of the ancient Romans and
Greeks ("ailurus." the wavy-tailed
one) was not a cat at all. but a kind
Of weasel. The mummif1ed Egyptian
animal. however, was genuine cat.
even II certain peculiarities about its
teeth make 1t dimcult to regard it as
q near relative of the modern domes
tic puss.
The exact origin of the latter &c.
mains a puzzle. 1t appears first. mys
teriously. in the middle ages, when It
was decidedly rare and highly priced
throughout Europe. though the Wild
cat still abOunded everywhere. And
experts have not been able to satisfy
themselves that the domestic cat and
the wild one are really the same.
AS a result of the recommendation
of DR.. Koch Of Germany that cats are
the best preventives of the plague
the japanese authorities have been
taking cat census. At Osaka 1t was
found there were $3.50 cats kept by
1922 families. In addition there
were $685. homeless cats. In the
plague spots of the city no cats were

Origin Of Americas Name.

It is q curious chance that America
received its name from q German
geographer. Old Prof. Waldseemuel
Ter made q mistake, indeed, when he
named the new countries at Brasil
after the Florentine Amerigo Yes
pucci. 1t would have been far more
just to name the new world after Co
lumbus, but though Waldseemuellel
recognized his mistake and withdrew
the name, 1t remained in use. Ana
curiously enough, that Amerigo Yes
pucci whose name gave origin to thu
name of America, had himself, though
an Italian, still q German family
name, Emmerich. Emery in English
Thus America is q continent with q
German name. the meaning of which
might, perhaps. be interpreted as
rich in corn" II this is correct, Prof
Waldseemueller chose an incorrect
but appropriate name.-Prof. Al
brecht Penck, in Science.

TRUE TO THEIR INSTITUTIONS
Exchanging Character Of the Saxon
Race a. Evinesd Throughout
the Centuries.

This tribe Of Saxons had, by acct
dent or wise leadership. happened
upon the very country best suited to
them. A fertile island. cut OF from
the rest of the world and with room
for all, SO that each one might, with
his family. have kingdom Of his own.
This, with as little machinery Of gov
eminent as possible and yet all ready
to combine as equals in self-defense.
But AZ they made their land product
i've. a. they became rich, they became
the prey Of other peoples from north
western Germany and what Is now the
Scandinavian peninsula and were
forced to defend their possessions
and their customs against Angles.
Danes and Normans.
It is q curious feature of the abid-
ing. unrelenting purpose of these Sax
ons to govern themselves and to be
let alone that. though they were con-
Quered in turn by Angles, Danes and
Normans. they swallowed up all three
in the end and imposed their customs.
and their institutions upon each of the
invaders in turn. They would have
nothing to do with the half-develOped
feudalism of Angles and Danes. nor
with the full-devel0ped feudalism Of
William the Conqueror and his follow
ers. The conqueror claimed that the
land was his and that every holder Of
land owed fealty to him personally.
It took about 100 years for the Saxon
idea to prevail over the feudalistic
notion. and the result was magma
charta. The magma charta wrested
from King John by the barons was In
reality the shaking of personal allie
glance to a chieftain by the Norman
barons, aided by the Saxon gentry.
who had finally imbued them also
with their own love of independence
and free government. They insisted
then. and have maintained ever since.
that they derived their rights. their
liberties and their laws not from q
king, but from themselves. In the
days of William the COnQueror their
king was elective. though chosen from
the reigning house. AS late as 1859
the commons voted that King James
had abdicated and that the throne was
vacant! They chose their own rulers.
