A crow had been captured by the
children in southern family and
brought home and tanned. They were
very fond of the crow and treated it
with kindness. AS in most houses
where there are children, there was
also a pet cat. The cat and crow were
not friendly. One day an unusually
nice morsel was given to the cat. This
the crow not only looked at with en-
vious eyes, but made several attempts
to secure. The cat beat off each at
tempt, however, and the crow had to
resort to stratagem. Disappearing
through the open door, he returned in
few moments with long string that
had been raveled from Il rag carpet.
Placing this ON the floor some little dis
lance in front Of the cat, he proceeded
to wriggle it as he had seen the chill
dren do when playing with the cat
The cat instantly jumped to catch the
string. This was, of course, exactly
what the crow wanted, and he
bounced upon the coveted morsel and
few away with it.-Harper's Weekly.

A BLOOD TAX.
Payment by French Town to Spain
For an Ancient Crime.

For an Ancient Irtme.
Seven hundred years ago some shep-
herds Of the valley Of Roncal, In Ma
varre. were murdered by shepherds OF
the valley of Bareton, in Bearn, the
crime taking place ON the high pasture
lands of Aras, in the Pyrenees. 1t
would have been difficult to. bring the
murderers individually to justice, anu
the Spaniards were preparing to make
war upon the valley from which the
French murderers had come when the
French villages proposed that peace be
maintained at the price Of yearly tax
or tribute, to endure for all time, and
this proposition was accepted.
The payment Of this blood tax-origl-
nally three white mares, but later three
cows of a particular breed and color
has been made ever since, the custom
lit is nothing morel having survived
even the great wars in which both
France and Spain have engaged and
the storm of the French revolution.
Yearly the representative men of the
two valleys meet on the frontier at =
certain stone remote from any town
and go through the ceremony of pre-
senting and receiving the cattle. The
order Of procedure, which Is elaborate
and impressive, is fixed by a document
bearing the date 1875, though the tax
was paid hundred years prior to that
time. The records of each yearly meet
ing and payment are duly attested and
deposited In the archives of the Ron.

LUCKY SWISS HOUSEWIFE.
She Lets the Rain Co All the Family
Washing FOR Her.


Swiss methods of laundering are orig
inal. practical and labor saving. The
women there have learned well how to
make the best use of their opportuni-
ties with the least eXertion. How they
use the tourists every one who has
travelled in the country Of the Alps
knows. They also know how to make
nature do their homework.
In most of the towns everything that
Is washed or cleaned is washed or
cleaned in one of the big watering
troughs that stand at regular intervaa
along the main thOroughfares. Into 1t
goes everything from potatoes to hu
man beings. and the only sanitary
regulation existent is that it must be
cleaned out with a large broom made
of bush or twigs after the potatoes
have had their bath. But when 1t
rains then everything else gives way
to the family wash, no matter If it is
Thursday or Sunday or Saturday or
Wednesday, for in Switzerland they
seek the rainy days for wash days, in
stead of deploring a cloudy Monday.
The steady downpour provides run
ming water in the village washtub.
Into the sweeping current the family
linen goes, and there 1t Is whirled and
twirled about until every speck of dirt
is thoroughly rinsed away. The scrub
bling board is not put into commission
ataL Occasionally the good housewife
protected under the family umbrella
held over her head by one of heI
Youngsters, who is allowed to enjoy
the drips from that same umbrella
takes look at her wash and encour
ages ii with gentle poke with hei
husbands best cane. But the rest OF
the day she enjoys to the full In hel
snug chalet, while the elements do hel
work In fact with her conscience a
rest that her days tasks will be done
she can spend her time gossiping will
her neighbor. whose conscience Is als'
at peace.
On the next day the wash goei
through process of bluing and starch
ing-all in that same basin-and fin
ally. when the sun shines, it Is lait
out on the wonderful green grass O
the Swiss matten and is there bleach
ed to a snowy whiteness. If the gla
ciers ana the landslides were to &C
commodate her by rolling down owe
her wash and ironing it out withou
soiling the Swiss housewife would no
be at all surprised. In fact, it is no
to be doubted that she now regards
an OVERSIGHT the failure of Dame Ma
ture to provide an ironing board.-Ney

Vienna once possessed the strictest
dramatic censor ever known In the
person of Franz Hoegelin, who held
that post In the Austrian capital at
the beginning of the last century.
Hoegelin published manual for the
guidance Of censors. "a pair Of lovers
should never be allowed to appear on
the stage alone. They must always
be accompanied by third person of
mature years." Marriages out of ones
class were also strictly forbidden by
Hoegelin on the stage, and he quotes
an instance Of play which he re-
fused to pass because the author made
the hero, Count Valdemar, marry q
gardeners daughter. "Such misalli-
ances have unfortunately been known
to occur in real life, but that is no
reason why they should be allowed on
the stage" he said.
