ANCIENT CAT LAWS

While there are very few specific
laws in relation to cats in modern
statutes-t;leir legal status being that
of ferae naturae--it is interesting to
know that in the ancient law the cat
occupied a very different position.
Among our elder ancestors the
Ancient Britons," says Blackstone,
."cats were looked upon as creatures
of instrinsic value, and the killing or
stealing of one was grieveus crime,
and subjected the offender to fine,
especially is it belonged to the kings
household, and was the custos horrei
regii, for which there was peculiar
forfeiture" The fortunate cat that
held the office Of warden of the royal
barn was thus protected by the law:
The evening Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1918-1920, 1918-10-28

noon at ten o'clock, and the body was
taken to Derby Center, and placed in
the Barnard cemetery. Rev. L. A.
Richards officiated. She leaves be-
sides her mother, one brother, with
whom she made her home.
Little Mary Magee, aged 2 years
and five months, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ned Msgee of West Charleston
passed away Saturday afternoon. The
cause of death was pneumonia. The
funeral services were held Sunday af-
ternoon at three o'clock. The burial
was made in the West Charleston
cemetery.
The evening Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1918-1920, 1918-10-28

"If and one shall kill or bear away by
theft the cat which is warden of the
royal barn, it shall be hung up by the
tip of its tail, its head touching the
floor, and over it shall be poured out
grains of wheat until the last hairs
of its tail shall be covered by the
grain"
An English law of the present day
provides that "the master of a ship
freighted with goods which are the
subject Of depreciation by rats is
bound to have cats on board, or he
cannot charge the insurer of such
cargo"

New Venerable Butter.

Shea butter, the reddish oil Of the
West African shea tree tButyrOsper-
n3m ParkiD, is one Of several vegeta-
bic buffers that are now Of unusus1
interest to makers of margarine, choc-
Olate, candies and soap. The sweet
and wholesome pulp of the nut is much
priced by the natives, and is said to
be nearly two-thirds butter. Great
Britain controls the source of supply.

The reactionary sentiment which had

Predicts Large Deposits.

Henry A. Schenck. president OF the
RoweTy Savings Bank, predicted yester-
DAY that the savings banks will receive
large additions 10 their deposits as soon
- the Fifth Liberty Loan has been
Placed. The habit OF saving money, pro-
d1ced by instalment payments on Lib
Sriy bonds, will be continued. and much
q this new element OF savings will go
directly to the savings banks, in his
opinion. The Liberty Loan sales have
'tiped rather than harmed the savings
banks he said. although tho bond invest
'1ents have taken money that otherwise
would have gone to savings institutions
" Schenck added '-The end of the year

Der the tendency has been strongly up
