HIM From Death by Starvation asiiecreed by the Wicked King Rich- ard III. Some scholarly enthusiast should write a volume OD the folklore of eats, So long as we believed that the domestic oat de- scended from the*wild European species its appearance in legends and fairy tales. was in no wry more puzzling than that of the fox or the wolf, but science has wrecked- that comfortable theory, and it seems to follow that all the folklore of oats well worth the study of those who take in- terest in such subjects. 'Our cats are a heritage from ancient Egypt. Mai Muller pronounces that even the Sanskrit word isi "comparatively recent." India received the animal probably from the Greeks, who themselves had only lately become ac- quainted with it The intelligent schoolboy will jeer at this assertion. Does not Aristophanea re- fer to the g•ale, and le not gale a cat? The husbandman in "The Peace" euspects it of stealing game from his larder. "Any- how," he says, "I heard the gale making a great noise there last night." What could this household pet be unless a cat? Professor Rollesten has demonstrated that it could be the white breasted marten and was, in fact, a delightful little creature for those who could bear its smell, and one not to be surpessed at mousing. It would seem that tbe Romans wore not familiar with cats, even in Pliny's day, for he evidently thinks that they smelled like a gale. It is alleged that the whole Roman literature contains less than half a dozen allusions to oats before the Christian era. Upon the other hand, a oat is represent- ed in one of the grandest and apparently one of the oldest Etruscan tombs. It has just caught- a mouse and holds it. No doubt there was intercourse between the Tuscans and the Egyptians. But in north- ern mythology the chariot of Freyga, or Frigga, ls drawn by two oats. She was goddess of love and luck, very properly as- sociated with a oreaturo which is gentle and tender at the domestic hearth, buten- terprising in courtship- apd fearless in rneetipg a rival. Is it to be credited that Freygaa3 oats wore the wild variety? The matter is not so uninoportant as it looks,1 but decidedly this is not the place for an excursus upon the date of the Asa gods. man, Thorolf Sleggja, defying the venge- ance of his neighbors under' protection of 20 ente. At length the chief of the district seusteted 18 men and assailed the house. Thorolf posted bia cats at tho door, "and I they looked very fierce mewing and roll- I ing their eyes." Wh'en the chief ap- proached, "they cried put and began to act hideously." So he remarked, 'iThie is a wicked company," and withdrew to the fence, where his men pitehed firebrands on the r burst ou under oa and jun holding treasure his hous ward, "and evil was thought to dwell A -volume is needed for thie subjeot, bel - cause ainong other . reasons it must be 11- lustroted by stories, or the public) will pe bored, and stories fill up. A mere string of facts "goes in ateone ear and out at the other." In such a volume the legend hf Dick Whittington would require several scores of pages for proper treatment. Here We say nothing about it. I But there is another folklore tale of the Same class not nearly so familiar to the publio. Sir Henry Wyat was committed to the tower by Richard III and pitifully,. treated. Ho had neither bed nor clothes and only food enough to keep him jdst alive. Winter sot in, and be was like to perish with mild. One night a cat -Old down the chininey, mune to bim purring and confident, as to its master, curiech it- self upon his chest and kept him warm till morning. Then it passed up the chimpey again, to reapp.ear presently with a pigeon, ' which it put into Sir Henry's band • and vanished for the day. 1 When the jailer carne, he begged I for more food, but the man replied that be durst not. "Then wilt thou dress any I provide?" asked Sir Henry. Very willing- ly the jailer promised, and be keptIbis word, though startled and alarmed at eight of the pigeon. So things went on for a time. But wicked Richard detented to starve his enemy to death and gav or- dersto that effect. Then the cat paidIsev- eral visits during tho day, bringing, A pi- geon each time, and the jailer, rightly con- cluding that "there were miraeleslabeut," revere-ntly cooked them. So Henry I out- lived his persecutor, and the story 1# ex- tant to this day alumni the muninients of that ancient family; but not transcribed I by the hero, as we understand, nor lb hit generation. The account states, bowbver, that a picture of Sir Henry, with tire oat and the pigeon, was to be seen. Like evi- dence is put forward in Whittinkton's Since all things are possible, it must not be said that either wondrous narrative is untrue. But meantime we class ahem both among folk tales.—Pall Mala Ga- zette. i Edelen Won't Talk Into a Phonograph.

FLOWER VIEWING IN JAPAN: A YELLOW FEVER FIGHT. Staten Island Onoe In a State of Bebellima/ Oyer the Disease. The first "packet" running between New York and Staten lelsind began ite voyages semiweekly in 1755, and the fer- rymen summoned the palleengere by the blatit of a born. For a number of. years afterward communication between the city and Staten Wand was generally intermit- tent,' and the attempt made officially 40 years ago to.utilize a portion of Staten Ise land, now the most tranquil, law abiding, bur:mike sylvan and plaold subdivision of the city of brew York, for quarantine pur- poses created a disturbance so remarkable in obaracter, so clearly at variance with the paeifie nature of the inhabitante and so dangerous to the state that the reoord of it seems ahnost to be exaggerat- ed. - The old provincial council years be. fore the breaking out of theRevolutionary war established a quarantine, especially for vessels coming from. the West Indies, many of them Dutch possessions -at that time, on Bedloe's island. After the close of the Revolutionary war the quarantine establishment was removed to Governors island, but that was objected to on the ground of its proximity to New York. Nevertheless it continued in use until the state purchased 80 aores of land within the township of Castieton for quarantine In the summer of 1856 there was an out. break of yellow fever and the inhabitants of Castaeton organaed into a mob and armed with, stioks, stones, guns and torches; attacked a quarantine building, which they seem fire and destroyed; &- smite the resistance of the local authorities and calls for soldiers from. other states - The state authorities began to erect new quarantine buildings, but these in turn were burned by another mob of violent -Staten blenders, all e_fforts to placate whom failed utterly. Recruits even were "ant to aid the Staten Islanders from New Jersey.. The hostility to the establishment of a quarantine inereased in strength. The Castieton board of health declared it a nuisance, andein the night of Sept. 1,4856, the place was attacked by a mob, the sick wore carried from the hospitals and laid upon mattresses in tbe fields,. the officers and physicians were driven off, and all the buildings, save the WOUND'S hospital, were destroyed by.fire. The next night the ill- umining hospital was burned down. The governor deolared the island in re- bellion and sent troops against the Staten Islanders, but without effect. John A. King, a resident of Long Island, was at. that time governor. He proolaimdd Staten Island under martial law, but the inhab- itants remained obdurate. They refused to recognize King and after destroying buildings declared that they would never lay down their arms until the "yellow jack" was removed. Ultimately Richmond county was compelled to pay for all the losses occasioned, but the state receded from its position and abandoned ite claim to the right of a quaranttne on Staten Is- land, a floating hospital being established instead by a commission appointed by the legislature for that purpose. Horatio Sey- mour was at the head of it.—New York Sun. National Custom to Mak. Family Ex- cursions In Blossom Time. Miss Ida Tigner Hodnett writes of "The Little Japanese at Home" in Se. Nicholas. Miss Hodnett says: It is one of the national customs to go out on excursions, in parties of two or three families to view the flowering trees and plants in 'their season. The Japanese love all flowers, but prefer those to which they look up—the fioevere of trees. They Visit the plum blossoms in February or early March; the pherry, especially be- loved, in April; the lotus in July, azaleas during the summer, chrysanthemums in the autumn and 'Camellia') in December. In the pleasure grounds connooted with every temple there are always magnificent collections of flowere. Am expedition espe- cially to see the flowers is called a hanami, or flower view. The bank of the Surnida river, which crosses the city of Tokyo, is covered with cherry trees. These give a pleasant shade, and the spot Is a favorite promenade for the citizens all the year round, but in time of "cherry bloom" the crowds that throng the avenue are larger than ever. It is crowded on moonlight nights and also wben the snow lies freshly fallen. Being fully alive to the. beauty of their country, wherever there is a point from wbioh a picturesque view may be obtained the Japanese will build a pavilion, or a teahouse, or Rome similar place of repose, from whioh the eyes may feast on the love- ly' landscepe. In the family`pionice or ex- cursions, which are frequent, some place of beautiful situation from which there is a good view either of land or sea is always These expeditione are not discontinued oven when the cold of winter comes. Snow scenes are greatly enjoyed, and when the freshly fallen snow is lying on the ground numerous parties are seen at points com- manding a fine view.

Kelly says: The country about Kahlniona is, I think, the most beautiful in Egypt. Being the center of the date growing industry, large groves of palms are so numerous as to be almoi3t one continuous forest, broken here and there by small open patches of hemline and vegetables, principally beans, the fragrance of which in the early spring is deliolous.and, under the hot sun and with the drowsy hum of the wild bees, makes one long to lie in the shade of the trees and dream forever. The town itself is buried in the midst of a particularly dense grove, and en one side is the usual birkeb, or pool of infiltrated water, common to all villages, and meaning so much illness and epidemic, among the people. These birkeh are formed by the exeavation of the mud with which the houses are built, and, filling with water, they. usually be- come open osespools into whioh all the filth of the village percolates, breeding inillions of mosquitoes as well as malaria, As if this were not enough, the village cemetery was placed on the brink of the pool, the graves being below the water level, and I aotually saw women drawing water from the pool for domestic use! Needless to say, I touohed no water in this village, except that which my- own men brought from a distance. MARRIAGE LICEISES ISSUED AT THE HURON EXPOSITOR OFFICE, NO WITNESSES REQUIRD, The Inquest.

Death on the Cross Was a Most Terrible ,Form of Torture. "Cruoifixion was a terrible death," writes the Rev. Amory H. Bradford, D.• D., in Tbo Ladies' Home Journal. "It was reseeded for offenders of a servile close and never used for a Roman citizen. The bands and feet of the victim were nailed to the wood, and a kind of rude seat was provided—just enough to prevent the weight of the body from tearing through the flesh. The canoe spot where Jesus was crucified oannot now be identi- fied. Golgotba was probably some skull shaped hill 'outside the oity wall.' Thith- er a strange procession wended its way— the condemned with their crosses on their backs, the hard hearted rabble making fun of them as they passed. The strength of Jesus failed before the destination was reached, and another was compelled to carry the cross for him. The crucifixion, like all others, was oruel and barbarous in the 'extreme. The executioners were Roman deldiers, but a host of Jove feast- ed their eyes on the hideous sight. "Such agony was no protection against the gibes of the crowd. With but one of Ms disciples in eight, and only two or three friendly women near—ono of them his mother—Jesus praised the last hours of his earthly life. Those who Buffered by 'crucifixion sometimes lingered three or four days—Jesus lived about five hours. While banging on theorem he spoke seven times. Soon after the cross was raised, looking over the coarse and brutal soldiery and the mistaken fanatics who had hound- ed him to that hour, he uttered a prayer, which has probably made &deeper impres- sion on the world than any other single prayer ever offered—' Father, forgive them, t for they know not what they do.'

Manning, el wee taken with au acute attack of rheumatism. I had not been feeling well for some time previous to that date, having been troubled with sleep- lessnees and general debility. My consti- tution seemed completely run down. Be- ginning in the email of my back the pain soon paeted into my hip, where it remained without intermiesion, and became a ter- rible sufferer. All winter long I was scarce- ly able to do any work, anti it was only with the acuteet of suffering that I managed to hobble to the barn each day to do my chores. I appealed to medical men for help, but they tailed to bring Any relief. At last I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, and with their use came a complete and lasting cure. I had not used euite three boxes when I began to feel decidedly bet- ter.
