animals in the world. 1t has both it's
inpatients and it's outpatients, and it
ministers to animals of all kinds as
carefully rs human beings are admin

Over 1900 animals are taken into the
hospital each year. and well on to
1000 are treated az outpatients. In
all there are some forty buildings,
large and small. connected with the
hospital, and the architectural struc-
ture and the appointments Of some of
them are indeed superior to those Of
many Of our regular hospitals. This
splendid hospital for animals was
founded BY a native Indian. a Parsi
merchant, Sir Dinshaw Manockjee Pet.

Lord Lytton's Eugene Aram was q

associated with in ste:lling flower roots
for they were both gardeners-and
finally murdered him to secure a few

Cats az Witches.

In Montferrat, Italy, it is believed
that all the cats who wander about
upon the roofs during the month Of
February are really witches, whom it
is lawful and even necessary to shoot.
An old German superstition has it
that il a black cat sits upon the bed
Of a sick man it is a presage of his
death. while if after his decease it is
seen upon his grave it is enough to
arouse doubts as to the locality to
which his soul has departed.
In Hungary it is thought that cats
generally become witches between the
ages Of seven and twelve years.
A French belief concerning the cat is
that If the animal be carried in a cart

any part Of the horseman's clothing be
made Of cats skin the horse will feel
as though it carried a double burden.

Red Rains.

Red rain is fairly common, and in
May, 1885, there was a heavy fall Of
blood red hail at Castlewellan, County
Down, Ireland. The red hue was not
merely on the surface. When one
squeezed the pellets the fingers were
deeply stained.
A remarkable red rain fell at The
Hague in the year 1910. The town was
in uproar one morning upon finding
lakes and bitches which had contained
water overnight now full Of "blood."
A physician, however, took some OF II
from one of the canals, put it under his
microscope and found that it was due
to swarms of tiny red animals, all in
state of lively commotion. This, how
ever, by no means treasured the popu
lace, who thought such a prodigy NJ
less awful than actual blood.

should they fail to remedy the situa-
ton the commission itself would find
a way to do 80. The a shortage Ia
said to have been found to be due In
part to delay in unloading cars, the
slow movement of cars and the fall
ure of railroads to return cars to the
lines owning them.
In the latter case 1t is said railroads
hold care, paying a nominal charge
for their use. This the commission
