RAINING CATS AND DOGS.
Various Explanations of the Origin Of
This Expression.

Various Explanations of the Origin Of
This Expression.
Many explanations have been given
of the origin OF the expression raining
cats and dogs" One Is that 1t Is per
version of the French "catadoupe."
waterfall-"it is raining catalogues,
or cataracts. Another explanation Is
that the male blossoms of the willow
tree, which are used on Palm Sunday
10 represent the branches OF palm.
were called ''cats and dogs" In some
parts of England. where they increase
rapidly after a few warm April show
ers. and the belief prevailed that the
rain brought them.
Others trace the saying to northern
mythology, In which the cat is said to
have great influence on the weather.
and sailors still have a saying. THE
cat has gale Of wind In her tail.'
when she is unusually frisky. Witches
that rode upon the storms were said
to assume the form of cats. and the
stormy northwest wind is called "the
cats nose" In the Harz mountains
even at the present day. Then the dog
is a symbol of wind. which In old Ger.
man pictures is figured as the head OF
a dog or wolf from which blasts issue
The cat therefore symbolizes down
pour of rain; the dog. strong gusts OF
wind, which accompany 1t. and so
rain '.of cats and dogs" is heavy rair
| with wind.

Judge Gillett's Home
Damaged By Fire

Damaged BY Fire
From Last Weeks Kingman Leader-Courier
Yesterday morning the fine home
of Judge P. B. Gillett was discov-
cred to be on fire and but for the
prompt work of the neighbors and
the fire department, would soon
have been in ashes. The hydrant
at the corner near his home was
found to be frozen up tight, so that
no water could be thrown, but a
bucket brigade was formed and
soon had the fire located and ex-
tinguished, with but minor loss,
the loss from water damage being
perhaps the greater. 1t is believed
that 500 will cover the damage
sustained, although the insurance
adjusters may find this figure far
too small. The fire seemed to have
started through defective work in
the building of the hue for the fur.

the hue, while it was being build.
ed, and the hot air from the fur
mace ignited this and as it burned
away it connected or carried the
fire to the partition walls between
the ceilings, making a regular draft
which carried the fire upwards and
clear to the roof, effecualIy con-
cealing it until it had gotten under
good headway. Had the fire start
ed in the night time, while the
family were asleep, it is fearful to
contemplate what might have been
the result, for the entire interior
from celler to roof would have been
on fire before it would have arous.

were on hand in quick time and
when they found the nearest hy-

connections made and hose line
