Black Cats and Evil
Linked in All Ages

That verdict rendered against a
Lynn (Mass.) woman charged,
among other things, with having
undertaken by her formulas ito
still crying babies and fighting cats
with equal ease," calls up a chap
ter in the lore of popular beliefs
to which every age contributes new
material. And for sheer interest it
is the pugilistic felines, not the
lachrymOse infants, which take the
cake. That black cats portend
evil is a delusiOn that goes back
to the most ancient times; so,
white or black, they have every
where been the material for all sorts
of superstitions. In the Orient
cats have knowledge of the future
ascribed to them, along with SEN
sitiveness which can penetrate into
things dark for the eye of man.
When the cat tears at cushions or
carpets it is believed to be raising
the wind. There is sure to be
changing weather if it sneezes, and
a frost may be looked for when
the animal sits with its back to
the fire.

Diet for Sailors

The serving of proper food at
sea has always presented great
difficulty. People not familiar with
naval service often wonder what
the sailorman eats while away from
port. In 1894 each man got one
pound of bread. one pound of pork,
one-half pint of beans or peas,
four ounces of cheese and one-half
pint of distilled spirits a day. AS
late as 1887 the diet was built
around bread, salt, or picked beef
or pork, peas or beans, potatoes,
cheese, sugar, coffee and tea. A
typical breakfast Of the up-to-date
man-Of-war consists of chilled
grapefruit, french toast, soft-boiled
eggs, bread, butter, coffee. Dinner
brings vegetable soup, pot roast,
gravy, creamed corn, combination
salad, pie, bread, butter and coffee.

''Days Of Real Sport"
In Rural Community

To many who have never lived
In the country the life of the farm
er seems to be an endless round of
labor, with little, if any, pleasure
to break the monotony. However,
like many opinions formed by one
half of the world in regard to how
the other half lives, this point of
view is erroneous.
True, the farmers toll is inces-
SAINT throughout the year. 1t has
ever been thus. On the other hand,
there always has been much to re-
Iieve it Of which the city-bred peo-
pie know little or nothing.
1t also contained in the olden
days certain picturesque elements
lacking in the country life of today.
There was a color and sparkle
which the more or less sophisticat-
ed rural life Of the present time
knows not.
Think of the sleighing parties,
the husking bees, the apple-paring
bees, the quilting parties and the
singing school, to say nothing of
the "raisings." Some of these in
volved labor, of course, but the so
cial element overshadowed the
work element; and a "raising" was
nm eagerly anticipated event.-Bos-

Knockout Ended Duel
Between Rival Hares

An English naturalist describes
q duel which he witnessed in the
moonlight between two hares, the
cause of their dissensiOn being a
third, which was a female that
went on nibbling grass during the
encounter without paying the least
attention to the contest. The bat
tiers were facing each other in a
real fighting attitude, their fore
paws held in front looking like hui
man fists. Standing on their
launches these two fighters went
all out. They boxed in fine style,
their little fists" darting in and
out like flashes. Some blows were
cleverly parried, others went well
home, and as they fought f0otwOrk
was not absent, for they circled
round, but always faced each other.
5One lost his balance and sprang
lightly aside, to be instantly fol-
lowed up, and the punching was
renewed. Apart from the soft noise
of the blows going home there was
no sound. The end came quickly.
1t was almost a knockout, but |
am afraid our rules would have put
it down as a foul. One hare slipped
down, landing on all four feet, and
quick as lightning his opponent
turned and gave him a kick that
landed him many yards away.

Take American Ideas
and "Coin" to France

1t is curious that both in the
southeast and southwest of France
there have been long what the
French neighbOrs call American
villa towns. But those who live in
them are not our Americans at all.
One of these towns-Barcelon-
! nette, on the motor road from Nice
to the French Alps and Lake Gene
va-has been given all the priv
ileges of a tourist station by gov
ernment decree. 1t has some 5000
Inhabitants, with streets laid out
/ regularly and the outskirts built
! up in what are known as American
shouses-square and white and with
! green blinds.
Those who live in them are pure
ly French emigrants of full CEN
tury ago, or their children, who
have come back from Mexico and
our Mexican frontier after making
fortune. 1t is said that the least
successful returned with $4,000,
and some with 100000 and even
more. They built up their little
neighbOrhOOds to resemble what
they had for themselves in the New
world. One--from Texas-built a
veritable chateau, but society must
have been too strong for him in
France, and he took his family back
to free America. Perhaps his grand
children are among our own Amer
leans who now own 1900 villas on
the Riviera.--Exchange

Everett Theatre. NIiddletOwn

Wednesday and Thursday Amer
ica is given full credit for the de-
feat of the German Army in the
World War, according to the offic-
ial war picture released in this
country by Paramount entitled,
Behind the German Lines" These
pictures are the official films taken
by the German government and
give an unbiased account of what
took place Behind the German
Lines" UFA, the leading motion
picture concern of Germany as
sembled the film. Preparation for
the final big drive of March 81,
1918, which every German heart
knew had to be successful to bring
the war to an end with victory for
them, is shown. The seemingly un-
ending lines of troops going up to
the front lines, and the long lines
of supply trains give a clear ac-
count of what this tremendous
drive meant to them. According
TO an official dispatch taken from
the files of the German War Office,
the war had to be ended by this
drive before the full pressure of
America was felt on the Western
front. That the tide was finally
turned by American troops at the
battle of Chateau TERRY is not de-
MED, and the war pictures show
just what happened at this point
of conflict.

Grasshopper Is Found
in Stone Age Carving

Paris.-One of the oldest repre-
sentations of an insect in art has
come to light in the archeOlOgically
famous cave of the Three Brothers
in the commune of Montesquieu-
Avantes. 1t is a grasshOpper crude
ly carved out of bit of ancient
bison bone now in the possession of
COmte Begouen, father of the three
youths who first discovered the
cave of prehistoric wonders.
1t is the first time that an in
sect of this type has been found
in the art of the old Stone age ac-
cOrding to Comte Begouen, and pre-
sents a considerable puzzle to
psychologists to explain, since such
insects were rare in the cold eli
mate that prevailed in France in
the Magdalenian epoch when the
carving was probably made.

Buried Cities

The soil that covers a buried city
sometimes indicates the manner in
which it was buried. For instance,
if the city is buried in sand it is
reasonable to believe that some ter
rife sandstorm enveloped it. On
the other hand, if the overlaying
earth is volcanic in character it
is indicated that some eruption
caused the loss of the city. For
many cases historical records are
available telling of the nature of
the catastrophe.

BOND PRICES WEAK

New Low Average Reached

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 30.-Bond
prices were weak today, in small
volume of trading. A new low average
was reached in domestic bonds, al
though foreign loans were stronger,
notably French, German and Brazilian
issues.
Continued high money keeps the in,
vesting public away from the bond
market, and as result the only issues
that are at all active are the conVertl-
bleS. American Telephone AIS were
dipping down today, at one time OF )
points. International Telephone 4l2s
were also weak.
As usual there was little trading in
the higher-grade rails and utility mort
gage issues. Southern Pacific 4l2s were
fractionally lower and Chesapeake

In the general list, Cuban Cane Sugar
rs established a new low at SIS. Allie
gheny SIS of the 1914 and 1949 maturity
dates dropped fractionally with the
rest Of the market. Comparatively heavy
trading took place in these two issues.
American I. G. Chemical moved IL
regularly, as did American Internation-
al. The latter bonds were inclined TO
strength.
Dodge Brothers IS, Armour g. Co. of
Delaware 5l2s, Goodyear Tire e. Rub
