CAT SCORED. USUAL VICTORY
Japanese Legend Merely Another
Feather in the Cap of the Ever
Conquering Feline.

There is an enchanting story told by
the Lady Sci Shonagon, a beauty of
Japan of nine centuries past, of the
emperor's favorite cat - herself a
spoiled beauty. She had received a
cap Of honor and had been raised to
the third rank of nobility, with the
title of Wiyobu-no-Ototo or "Chief Of
the Female Attendants" and was a
cat of many graces. Unfortunately,
on a day of ~disobedience, her lady-in-
waiting summoned the emperor's dog,
Okinamaru, to startle her into good be-
havior. He barked ~obediently, and
the cat dashed madly behind the
screen, where his majesty sat at break
fast, and sought refuge in his arms.
The emperor. much shocked, sent for
the lord high chamberlain, and pro-
nounced sentence on poor Okinamaru.
A thrashing and exile! The Lady Sci
describes him as hitherto a happy dog
and much esteemed. But a short time
before he had been carried in a process
sion in a willow litter, with peach
blossoms and hollyhocks on his head!
He was now an outcast IN dog island,
"and none so poor to do him rever-
ence." He may possibly have found
life easier without the hollyhocks, but
1t is interesting to see that the eternal
cat is victorious as ever. The dog is
vanquished the lady-in-waiting ruined,
and the cat lies in the emperor's lap
and purrs. SO was it always; so will
1t ever be, writes L. Adams Beck in
Asia Magazine.

CATS BOARD NO "NECEsSlTY"

MontcIair Judge Rules Out Woman's
Claim Against Landlord.
A cats board. under certain condi-
tons, is not a necessity, in the opin-
ion of Judge Harry N. Reeves of the
District court, at Montclair, N. j. Miss
Mary F. Apperson, a worker in the
Newark public library, brought suit
against Alphonso DreyfNs, owner of
an apartment house in Newark, to re-
cover damages for failing to allow her
possession Of an apartment which she
had rented from May 1 last. On that
day Mss Apperson moved her personal
belongings to the house, but she AYERS
that Dreyfus refused to permit her to
put in her furniture until May Is.
At q hotel in Newark, where Miss
Apperson spent the time between May
1 and Is, she was not permitted to
keep her cat, and therefore was COM
pelied to pay board for Tabby, which
cost her So a week. Her suit was for
$81, including for the first moving
S2os hotel bill, $35; cats board, So!
The Judge awarded damages for her
claim, less the cats board bill.

FINDS OLD VICTIMS OF
INFLUENZA ARE SAFE
St.dy of Disease Shows Definite
Immunity Will Last for
Several Years.

Influenza attacks carry with them
"a definite immunity to subsequent at
tacks, lasting several years." accord
ing to conclusions reached by the
public health service after intensive
study in the homes where the disease
was epidemic in 191S-19.
'Inasmuch as the epidemic of 1918
and 1919 affected so very large a pro-
portion Of the population" the state

added, there would seem to be reas-
enable grounds for believing that even
should flu become prevalent here and
there (this winter) it would not as
sumo the epidemic proportions of the
last two years, nor would it rage in
such v FORM
Gen. Cumming pointed out, however,
that there was no way of definitely
foretelling whether this winter will
witness any recurrence of influenza in
epidemic form" He added that it was
unfortunate" that the public took
such interest in Spectacular epidemic

medical knowledge, he said, pointing
out that $4,000 annually died of
diphtheria despite the existence of an
effective antitoxin which could have
prevented practically every one of

Another 10000 deaths were due to
typhoid fever, he said, in similar cir
cumstances, and there were 400 cen
tirely unnecessarily deaths from small

If the rural delivery is at your door,
the city market is there for your small
produce, say specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture. At
present many producers are neglect
ing entirely this marketing medium or
are not utilizing it to the extent they
might. Wider use of the parcel post
for marketing eggs is particularly ad-
visable for the small producer who
can easily and advantageously build
up O direct trade with the city. When
more produce is marketed directly
from the farm to the city there will
be less complaint on the part OF the
producer that the prices he must sell
for are too low. and less on the part
Of the consumer that the prices he
pays are too high.
Sell Only First-class Eggs.
1t IS preferable to produce infertile
eggs for market. as fertile eggs de-
teriorate rapidly in warm weather and
are the cause of much loss. The eggs
should be gathered at least once q day
and stored in q well-ventilated place,
where they cal be kept as cool as pos
sible. AS washing removes the muci-
laginous coating of eggs and opens the
pores of the shell, it should not be
practiced in the case of eggs intended
for high-class trade. Soiled eggs
should be used at home or disposed of
otherwise than to a parcel-post Gus
toner.
If there is any doubt concerning the
freshness or quality Of the eggs, they
should be candled, so that all eggs
showing any defect may be held at
home, say poultry specialists of the
United States Department of Agricul.

essential that uniform containers and

Isn't the Law Wonderful!

A Belgian paper tells Of a woman
living at Mons who is denied q mar
rage license because she does not
know her name, age or birthplace and
therefore "has no legal e%xistence.'
The case is analogous to that of a
man named Mahony who was hanged
some years ago. When the prison
physician pronounced him dead, the
body was cut down and delivered to
the relatives. Life was not extinct,
however, and a few hours later the
mai was quite himself again. He was
shot by a murderer some time after
ward, but the assassin could not be
brought to justice because. as the
court said, "Mahony was legally dead,
and therefore could not be killed SUBJ
sequently by anybody"

TESTING OF SEED CORN
Even When Carefully Selected and
Stored 1t Should Be Tested Be-
fore Planting.

Even where seed corn has beer
carefully gathered and stored it
should be thoroughly tested in the
spring before planting. The best way
to do this is to make a seed corr test
ing box and test 100 ears separately.
Each kernel that is tested must be
perfect. and not injured at the tip
when it Is removed from the ear.
Hand-shelling will give much fewer in
Jured tips than machine Smelling, and
should be used with all seed corn. If
three or more kernels out Of ten from
any n ear fail to grow it will be
wise to test every ear in the entire
supply of seed. If the 100 tested ears
no poor ones, further testing of
the supply is unnecessary.

COMPOST HEAP MADE
! FROM GARDEN WASTE
Organic Rubbish Of All Kinds
Especially Suitable.
Start by Laying Down Bed of Stable
Manure and Alternating With
Refuse ENTHUSIASTICALLY VAL
liable for Hotbeds.

Garden waste, decayed vegetables,
dead vines, weeds, and the organic
rubbish that collects about the place
during a busy summer may be cleaned
up and put to work again through the
agency OF a compost heap, say spe-
clalists Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Start the heap
by laying down a bed of stable ma
nure which has not been burned or
heated. The size Of the plot will vary
with the amount Of refuse to be used:
FOR ordinary uses, if the bed is made
eight feet long by six feet wide and
Two feet deep it will serve the our
pose. Over the manure spread a two
loot layer of refuse and cover with
another layer of manure. This last
layer need he only a foot in thickness.
If it is desired to add to the heap
from time to time the top layer may
be opened and the new material emp
tied into the hole thus made. This is
convenient for the suburban home
where there is no animal to
the kitchen waste. In the spring the
heap Is we'll mixed with a fork and
the compost is ready to be spread on
the garden plot. The heating manure
Will effectively destroy any weed seed
present and will also break down the
structure of most of the materials
that have been thrown upon the pile.
Ihe process may be continued indefi-
nitely by simply adding enough ma
nure to insure heating. Comp6S. is
especially valuable for use in hotheds
and cold frames.

HEART CAN FEEL NO PAIN
But Vital Organ Sends Out Its Mes
sage of Warning When Physical
Danger Threatens.

The heart has no nerves Of sensa-
ton. Stanley M. Rinehart, M. D.,
writes in the Saturday Evening Post.
II the surgeon could.get to it without
cutting through the sensory nerves on
the surface of the body he could OPP
crate upon the heart itself without
causing pain. And yet pain is some
times Il symptom Of heart disease, but
II Is produced in a roundabout way.
II the heart cannot feel, how can
there be pain in heart disease?
Branches Of the heart nerves go to
certain %suhcenters in the spinal cord,
and there they connect with the super
fetal nerves Of sensation. Continued
irritation OF the heart nerves is thus
communicated to the surface nerves
and there is reflex or referred pain,
not in the heart, but in the chest wall
over which the sensory nerves are dis
tributed.
True heart pain is always due to ex-
haustion of the heart muscle and may
be recognized by the presence Of other
symptoms. 1t is made worse by
the slightest exertion; by anything
that increases the rapidity Of the
hearts contractions. And nearly al
ways the respirations are labored and
deep, expressing the desire of the slug
gish blood stream for more air. But
the pain is in the chest wall, never in
the heart. l
More significant than pain is a feel
ing of contraction, of tightness in the
chest behind the breastbone, which
may be experienced by those Of middle
age. 1t is especially noticeable after a
full meal, after smoking or during ex-
ertion. This is another Of natures
quiet warnings. 1t usually accom-
panies high blood pressure, with or
without hardening Of the arteries. The
more often the sensation recurs and
the more easily it is induced, the more
attention it demands.

TAKE MANY TONS
OF COLD FISH
Caught in Fishing Grounds Of
Portage River in Ohio.
SENT TO new YORK MARKETS

Strange Migration May Be Result of
Big Floods Of 1913-HauIs of From a
Ton to a Ton and a Half at a Time
Have Been Reported by Fishermen
Who Have Their Seine Grounds for
Carp Fishing-Not the Glass Bowl
Fish.
Many tons of gold fish have been
caught in the fishing grounds Of the
Portage river at Port Clinton, O., by
local fishermen, during the last few
weeks. Where these fish come from
is a mystery, although they have been
seen in this section before, but never
in such large quantities.
According to some. Of the fishermen
the scattering of the fish was found
in 1913, after the big floods of Ohio
and the lake regions, and it was
thought at that time that the fish may
have been liberated from some of the
park and resort aquariums, by the
overlooking Of the flooded artificial
ponds.
The first fish were found in small
numbers at intervals by the fisher
men who had their nets in Lake Erie,
and an occasional one would be brought
ashore as a curiosity. Later the fish
found their way to the marshes and
inland waters of the fishing grounds
of the Portage river, and it has been
only during the last few months that
they have been caught in such large
quantities.
Hauls of from a ton to a ton and
a half have been reported at a single.
time by the fishermen who have their
seine grounds for carp fishing, and
these fish have appeared in large
schools, making a very interesting
sight when they are being rounded
up for the lifting Of the nets 9
Not Glass Bowl Fish.
The fish are not of the glass Devil
variety, but seem to be more Of @
carp species, and will measure severaF
inches and weigh as much as a half
pound each. They are placed in live
cars and brought here to be loaded In
to express cars and shipped in tanks,
alive, to New York markets, where
they are sold to the retail and whele-
sale trade.
Up to this time the local trade has
not INDUCED in the gold fish for a
food product although it is said to be
the same. The larger fish have tile.
features of a carp, with the large
scales. but a decided difference In the
coloring. These fish are highly col
ored in yellow and gold shades, with a
little sprinkIing of red which makes,
them very attractive.
Won't Grow in Jars. J
1t is said that some of these fisk
have been placed in glass jars, and
held for some time, but that they did
not take on additional size.
Charles Klingbeil of the United
States h%atcheries here, is of the opin-
ion that these fish came from the
aquariums of Belle Isle and Detroit
during the flood times of 1913, and that
during these last seven years have
multiplied until the shallow waters of
this vicinity have become inhabited
by millions of fish.
AS the gold fish are adapted to the
warmer waters, they have found the
marshes of this section desirable quar-
tiers for their summer maneuvers, and
during the winter months they seek
the deeper waters Of the Portage riv-
er, where they are protected from the
Ice and the freezing which would con.
front them in the marshes.
