In the middle ages Satan’s favorite form was a black cat. Witches always have a cat as thelr familiar—a stray black pussy in preference. If a white cat races across Yyour yard a child is going to dle. If a stray cat of any color takes up with you, making your house its home, you will have good yuck. Napoleon Bona- parte showed a morbid horror of cats, The night before the battle of Water- loo a black cat passed near him, and at the sight the great warrior was com- pletely unnerved. Hg saw an omen of defeat. Henry IIL of France swoon- ed wheneyer he saw a cat, and one of the Ferdinands of Germany would tremble in his boots if a harmless tabby 8ot in the line of his vision. Among the Romans cat was a symbol of lib- erty. The W;yptians held the animal in veneration under the name of Aelu- rus, a deity with a human body and a cdt’s head. Whoever killed a cat, even by accident, was put to death, Diana assumed the form of a cat and excited the fury of the glants. A Bad Break. . At a banquet held in a room, the walls of which were adorned with many beautiful paintings, a well known _ college president was called j . at the table?’ upon to respond to a toast. In' the course of his remarks, wishing to pay a compliment to the ladies present and designating’ the: paintings with one of hig , characteristic gestures, he said, “What need is there of these painted beauties when ‘we have so many with Yellowtail Fishing, There are no “between rounds,” mno breathing spells, with the yellowtail. He Is fighting for his life desperately, no quarter given nor asked, with an amazing staying power akin to that marvelous faculty of the leaping tuna, The augler is far more Jikely to be the first one exhausted; the Inches of line gradually granted to the “pump- ing” rod are earned by the sweat of his brow and the semiparalysis of the bi- ceps. “Have I got a fish or a devil?” ex- claimed a weary Englishman after a half hour’s work, with Sir Yellowtail stlll gamboling at the end of 200 feet of line. And many have shared his astonishment while “catching” these animated galvanic batterles, That man has lived and lived In-|* tensely to whose bending rod a half dozen lusty yellowtail have capltulated in a bright afternoon. . May his re- maining history be ever so humdrum or prosaie, that crisp encounter wil illuminate the dullest moments.—I, L. Harding in Field and Stream, The Mind Historinn. ‘Willlam Hickling Prescott, who was born at Salem, Mass, on tbe 4th of May, 1796, was the son of a prosper: ous lawyer, entered Harvard eollege in 1811 and graduated in 1814. Early In his college career he had his left eye blinded by a plece of bread playfully thrown at him by a fellow student, and the other eye soon became sympathet- lcally affected. He traveled in Eng- land, France and Italy and then de- voted himself to severe study, but it was not till the beginning of 1826 that be found the work of his life within the range of Spanish history. Fortu- nately his means were ample, so that he was able to procure the services of ussistants and to live amid conditrons of comfort. By constant habit he gain- ed the power of carrying a great deal In his memory, and after he had revoly- ed the whole of a chapter in his mind he quickly transferred it to paper by means of his stylus and an ingenious writing case especially constructed for the blind. He published his “History of Ferdinand and Isabella” in 183% whick earried his name across the ocean to the old world. This was followed by his “History of the Conquest of Mexi- co” in 1843, and of “Peru” in 1847. These gave him a great renutation His Last Name. A gentleman once asked a lad what was his last name. “Johnny,” replied the boy. “Well, what is your full name?” “Johnny Brown, sir.” “Well, how can Johnny be your last name?” “Because, sir, when I was born my name was Brown, and Johnny wasn't glven to me till I was a month old.” A Narrow Escape. The company had assembled in the church, but the bridegroom was no- where to be found. Finally a mes- senger announced that the young man had been run over and killed while on his way to the church, “And just think,” she said a month afterward to a friend, “what a narrow escape I had from becoming a widow!" A Prank of Memory. Why have we memory sufficient to retain the minutest circumstances that have happened to us and yet mnot enough to remember how often e have related them to the same person? —La Rochefoucauld. Weighing Common Air, The weight of air has often been tested by compressing it in receptacles by the air pump. That it really has weight when so compressed Is shown by the fact that the weight of the ves- sels s iIncreased slightly by filling them with compressed air and that such vessels become specifically “light- er” as soon as the air contained in them is exhausted. Many elaborate experiments on the weight of air have proved that the cubic foot weighs 536 grains, or something léss than one and a quarter ounces. The above experi- ment on the weight of air is supposed to be made at the surface of the earth with the temperature at 50 degrees F. Heated alr or air at high elevations is much lighter., A Deferred In a certain town in the county of ‘Wexford there is a house the door of which must be raised a little to be opened, and for this purpose the hatchet is generally used. One night lately a knock came to the door, and a youngster was sent to see who was “Who is there?” he inquired. “Me,” sald a voice outside, The youngster, knowing the voice, shouted back (In such a tone that the person outside could hear him): “It's Mrs. Murphy. Get the hatchet!” Needless to say Mrs. Murphy didn’t wait—Pearson's Weekly. The End of Books, ‘What brings about the end of books? Is it fire, water, worms? As every ship launched is bound to be wrecked, every theater to be burned, the finis of the book Is its reduction to ashes. What became of the Alexandrian li- brary? Did the Saracens burn it in 640? There is this question asked: Was there any library at Alexandria contalning 700,000 books? Gibbon in- clines to the opinion that there was no such library. Canon Taylor insists that If there had been a library it was burn- ed In the time of Julius Caesar. Tra dition seems to indicate, however, that there was a library In the serapeum, by no means a large collection, but whether, destroyed by Theophilus or Theodosius I8 not knowa. It looks as if the charge brought against the Arabs rested on no foundation. Explorations of Alexandria in 1895-96 show no traces of the serapeum. . The seaport of Bgypt was built on a damp foundation, and granting that there was a library, if not destroped by fire, then the papyrt might have suffered from decay due to water, Books of today taken to India, to the southern states and to the West Indles perish through mildew.
