YOMKERS HAS THE CUCKOO
Citizen Complains That the Birds Are
Somewhat Too Attentive to
Business.

A proud but truthful resident OF
YOnkers admitted that there were a
lot of cuckoos there. He wasn't proud
of the cuckoos, particularly. AS far as
cuckOos are concerned, his pride is
strictly civic. If one must have
cuckoos he prefers the Swiss kind,
which are vocal only when wound up
and then only at intervals.
The Yonkers cuckoo doesn't have to
be wound up. The imported eight-day
cuckoo is a pker beside the Yonkers
cuckoo. The YOnkers cuckoo stays
awake half the night waiting for the
dawn and each has the same pride in
being the first to salute the earliest

has in getting her washing out before

From the moment that the night be-
comes family luminous until about

cuckoos knock off for lunch. Then
they're at it again until dark. They

ONE or OLDEST TRADITIONS
Picturesque Legend OF the Slaughter
of St. Ursula and the Eleven
Thousand Virgins.

The legend of st. Ursula is one Of
the most picturesque Of ancient tradi-
tons. It relates that she was the
daughter Of the Briton, Theonotus, and
was desired in marriage by a heather
prince named Holofernes. She con
sented on the condition that he become
a Christian, and allowed her three
years in which to make a pilgrimage.
He consented, and Ursula set out ac-
companied by 1000 virgins. They
journeyed up the Rhine as far as Basic
and thence by foot, to Rome, where
they were Joined, for their return
march, by the pope and a retlnue of
clergy.
When they reached Cologne, on the
return trip, they were attacked by
horde of wild Hunnish barbarians, and
all were slain, although Attila, the lead
or of the Huns, attempted to save the
life of Ursula that she might become
his wife. She fell, however, pierced
with an arrow, which has become her
attribute in pictorial representations,
As soon as the massacre was over an

slaughtered virgins, and put the bar
barians to flight. Soon after a
church was erected among the graves

THREAT THAT is EFFECTIVE
Ceylonese Creditors Have a Remark
ably Effective Method of Enforc-
ing Collections.

The native of Ceylon is an intract-
able creditor He possesses an lire
sistlble method of securing payment
without recourse to the baill6's, cita-
lions, judgments, duns or summonses
which fall like hail about the ears Of
European debtors.
The Ceylonese creditor betakes him
to the house OF the man who owes him
money, holding In his hand some leaves
of the neungala, an extremely poison
GUS plant, and declares that, unless he
is paid on the spot he will poison him
self.
The debtor pays up without hesita-
ton. At home he would of course
simply laugh in the face of the shoe
maker or tailor who made such a
threat and tell him to go ahead; but
in Ceylon there is Il local law which
imposes an enormous fine on anyone
who IS the cause OF the suicide of an
other. And there is no case on rec
ord in which a creditor was permitted
to carry out his threat.
The question, however, seems to be
whether in the face of an obstinate
refusal to pay, the creditor would
not be wiser to lose his money than
his life.

raAIAN's SOUL IN HEAvEM7
Prayer Of Pope Gregory Said 10 Have
Resulted In Entry Of Pagan
Into Paradise.

The Roman emperor Trajan was
The only pagan, according to medieval
theologlans, who was received into
Paradise. Ills salvation came about
through the offices OF Pope Gregory
the Great. The pope was one day
walking through Trajan's forum In
Rome, musing on the emperor's many
merits and grieying that 50 good a
man should be eternally lost. He nc
cordingly dropped 10 his knees and
prayed for Trajan's salvation, and
presently n voice was heard from on
high Announcing that his prayer was
granted, but that henceforth he must
pray only for Christians.
There arc several different c0rclus-
ions to this legend. One Of them mar
rates that Gregory, although his con
duct was pr0lseworthy and success
full, "broke the rules" by praying for
Trajan's soul, and was therefore pun
lshed by numerous distressing mala-
dies. Another IS to the effect that
Trajan's soul was sent back TO his
body, which was duly baptized by
Gregory, whereupon the soul took i'm
mediate wing TO heaven.
The whole circumstance was one
Of the knottiest problems which the
casulsts Of the Middle ages endeav-
ored to solve, for they all recognized
the humanity which inspired Greg
ory's prayers, but could not forget
that the unbaptlzed pagan was, after
all, an unbaptized pagan.

Beautiful "plamond Beetle"

One of the most beautiful of all in
sects is the diamond beetle" of Bra
Ill. According to the recent investi-
cations of an American naturalist, who
has lately visited that country, the
sparkling colors of this beetle, which
bazes with extraordinary brilliance in
he sunshine, originate in an entirely
different way from the hues of butter
dies. The scales of the diamond
beetle appear to consist of two layers,
separated by an exceedingly thin in

them experiences the effect of inter

Vapor Cure" for Whooping Cough.
In Deyonshire, England, the peas

4 sheep makes on the grass by lying in
one place all night When the animal
gets up in the morning, a sort of va

derneath into the cold air of the early
dawn.
The sufferer is taken out into the
meadow where the sheep are at day
break, laid face downward on the
forme, and has then to breathe this va
por In, not merely through the nos
trlls, but with open mouth. He must
breathe 1t until the ground Is cold and
there is no more vapor to be sucked
into his lungs. This takes about five
minutes. Then the patient goes back
to bed, and in a few hours his cough
has left hln--or at least so say the
