Few persons know that Pueblo has
a home for the care of elderly people

ASSOCIATE PIG WITH DEVIL
Have Refused to Eat Pork
in Any Form.

Among the ancient "geasa" or ia.
boos in Scotland none was of greater
interest than the "geaS' which pro-
hibited the eating of pork. Thousands
of living Highlanders refused either 10
keep pigs or to eat pork in any form
They despised pork as keenly as did
the Hindus, the Jews and the modern
Greeks of northern Arcadia.
The pig was often associated with
the devil. Fishermen refused to put
to sea if, when walking toward their
boats, they met a pig or a hare.
One of the names which the Gaelic
speaking people of Scotland had for
the devil was the big black pig"
When the devil appeared in human
form he had usually a horses hoof, but
also sometimes Il pigs foot. He was
in the habit Of visiting young people
who played cards, which were, nOtori-
ouSly, the devils books
Although the pig was generally as
ISOLATED with the devil there was
Highland evidence that it might as a
supernatural being be, like the fairies,
Of assistance to mankind. 1t could as
sumo a bird form. The deNil-pig and
the god-pig were met with on the
sculptured stones of Scotland.

An interesting parallel has been
drawn between the different varieties
of rubber trees in the tropics and
those of maple trees in this country.
Out of about 1000 varieties of trees,
all of which produce more or less rub
Der sap, only forty or fifty have been
found whose product is considered
commercially valuable. When a would.
be cultivator of rubber goes to a
tropical country and sets out a
plantation of rubber trees which the
natives know do not belong to the right
variety, he causes amused comment,
such as would be excited by a South
American who came to the United
States and bored holes in soft naples
with the expectation of obtaining sugar
sap. Experience has shown that eX-
cellent rubber trees trausplantCd from
their native habitat to other regions
having apparently identical sor and
climate may flourish in growth, vet
lose their producing power Rubber
culture requires great expert bnowl-
edge-Philadeuhja Ledger.
