j A Bird That Is Feared
The elster Pica candataj is a bird
that is respected and Soared through
ccut south Germany It belongs to the
raxren tribe and is about the size of a
dtive with black and white feathers
and long pointed tail It builds its
nest in orchards and its life is sacred
If it is seen three times in succession
on the same housetop In a place re
mote from its home it is believed to be
a sure sign of death in that house If
it flies over a house where any one is
ill and gives its peculjar cry the sick
person is sure to die but if it does not
scream the patient may recover It is
better for the sick person if the bird
does not come near No one could be
hired to bother these birds for fear
they might seek revenge and if by
chance one of them should die it is a
sign of bad luck to the owner of the
property where it is found The
bird is a valuable insect destroyer and
in this way probably more than com
pensates for the fear it occasions

New Buckeye State Law Said to
i Be First of Its Kind
A BOON TO THE WORTHY POOR
They Will Be Enabled to Borrow
Money Without Being Forced to Pay
the Exorbitant Rates Demanded by
Loan Sharks
I The Bertsch municipal pawn depart
ment bill said to be the first of its
jkind has just become a law In Ohio
iThe new law takes its name from Jo
seph F Bertsch its author Some for
eign countries have such departments
but they have been established by the
cities without asking the state for au
thority or power thafefor
The new law is intended to be of
benefit to the worthy poor and its
working In Ohio will be watched with
interest by the authorities of other
states with a view to adopting some
such measure in their localities
There are thousands of deserving
persons whose income does not allow
of their acquiring real estate or saving
money And tBere are times when
JOSEPH P BERTSCH
these people need money and quickly
The problem has been where and how
they will get it Banks and loan asso
ciations will not lend money without
security The only way then that is
open to them is the pawnbroker or the
private loan agent Frequently an ex
oi interest is charged and the
so called loan sharks are not over
scrupulous The municipal pawn de
partment is established for the benefit
of this class of borrowers Poor peo
ple who are deserving of help will thus
be given an opportunity to borrow
money at the lowest possible rate of
interest and on the most reasonable
security
Under the Bertsch act these loan de
partments re to be a subdepartment
of the department of public service
and are to be presided over by a super-
recognized the kadun mistress of the
lntendent appointed by the mayor
house is a mother to her servants
whom she treats as children and no
children in the world are better treated
than Turkish children The most pain
ful thing the kadun can do to a maid
is to say The master has found a
good husband for thee Thou wilt be
married at such and such a time
Oh mistress what have I done to
be thus abandoned is the usual sor
rowful response
Even after the servants marriage the
kindly relations between mistress and
maid continue There are no fixed
sen ant wages in Turkey Faithful
servants are rewarded from time to
time in accordance Avith their masters
or mistresses good pleasure or circum

A Trick of the Sun
Upon a mountain in Andalusia
quaint spectral forms are frequently
seen Whenever there is a heavy mist
and persons are ascending the moun
tain they appear in all their ghostly
splendor ai d sometimes so suddenly
as to strike dismay into the hearts of
those who see them for the first time
Of course it is all a trick played by
the sun When a mist partially
shrouds the mountain the sun Is nat
urally obscured and then he revenges
himself by projecting the shadow of
any person who is ascending the
mountain until it assumes the form of
of a gigantic specter
An Insect Gunner
Many insects have some means of
defense from their natural enemies
none of which is more curious than
that of a small beetle which when
closely pursued discharges a puff of
poisonous vapor with a distinct deton
ation Undoubtedly in many instances
this aids the diminutive gunner in his
escape mainly in all probability by
startling his pursuer and causing him
to abanadon the chase From this
peculiar acquirement this little fellow
is known as the bombardier beetle
