SQUEALING PIGS

WHEN pigs squeal or grunt more
than usual 1t is sign of rainy
weather-some say simply of bad
weather." This is superstition al
most universal In the rural districts. II
is a question whether all the so-called
superstitions regarding the power of
animals TO foretell the weather really
belong in the superstition category.
Lord Bacon believed that all out
door animals were weatherwise, at
tributing this to susceptibility they
acquired to atmospheric conditions by
their constant exposure to the ele-
ments. The ancients attributed the
weather-wlsdom of birds and animals.
on the contrary, to some mystic quail
ity drawn from NEUROLOGICAL sources
The idea that squealing pigs predict
wet weather has its evident origin in
the status of the pig in ancient Egypt
where ii was closely connected with
agriculture and was sacrificed to Isis
at the Feast of the New Moon, the
moon Qsis) being the source of moIs-
ture.
The Egyptian farmer who heard the
squealinS of the pigs being sacrificed
upon the altar of Isis knew that be-
cause of that sacrifice he need not fear
a drought. So the Yankee farmer of to-
day when he bears the successors OF
those pigs of Isis squeal knows that ii

ls.s influence in modern superstition is
remarkable fact.
In this connection it is interesting

INQUIRY BEGUN
IN POSTAL
RATES
Postmaster General New is
First Witness Before Joint
Congress Group

A general investigation OF postal
rates was started today by a
special joint Congressional commits
sion, under the craftsmanship of
Senator George II. Moses Rep) of
New Hampshire.
Appearing before the commission
with a summary of receipts and ex'
penditures under the old and the
new laws, Postmaster General New
said he expected there would be
an increase in revenue under the
rates which went into effect last
April, but that he could not tell
what the total expenses would be
under the increased postal salaries
authorized by Congress. Previous
estimates by the Postoffice Depart
ment have placed the deficit under
the new law at $40, 900 900 this year.
There has been a heavy decrease
in the mailing volume of private
post cards and of circular matter
by reason of the new rates. the
Postmaster General told the com.
mission. The general public has
reduced the mailing of publications
he said. although the publishers
have accepted the increased rates
and thS-e has been no material of
lossening OF revenue from that
source.
Much complaint has come to the
Postoffice Department from patrons,
he said, because Of the increased
cost and special charge OF reg
istered, insured and cash-on- delivery
mail.
1.-THE result has BEEN" New de-
clared, that the business Of private
insurance concerns has been in
creased or those using this service
have adopted the plan Of self in
surance"
He submitted figures which
showed a decrease in May receipts
OF as per cent over May of 1924,
but the returns of fifty selected
cities in June show an increase of
5.6 per cent. He estimated, there
fore, that the general revenues of
the Postoffice Department for six
months ending October, 1925, would
show an increase over the preceding
six months.
Senator Moses suggested that the
commission would be unable to get
the exact effect Of recent changes
in the rates until the holiday bust
ness had been tabulated and that
the work of the commission couIG
not be concluded before next March.
General New said ii was essential
In his opinion that the holiday bust
