The shrew, or shrewniousc, uh It la commonly called, Is found In nearly all parts of the world. It is distinguished by an elongated, pointed muzzle, small eyes, plantigrade, six toed feet and glands that secrete a musky fluid. Al together It closely resembles a mouse, but It Is really not related to the mouse family. When at home it Is either under n pile of rubbish or In a hole which It has burrowed in the earth. It Is noc turnal in its habits, but perfectly harm less. Yet ut one time it wbb much dis liked and persecuted because It was thought to be n dangerous, mischievous animal. Among the Italians the notion was prevalent that the bite of a shrew was extremely poisonous. The French nnd the English believed that If a shrew ran over an nnlmal's foot the animal felt great pnln and eventually became paralyzed; hence If a horse, a cow or a goat became n little stiff In Its limbs the foolish people at once de clared It "shrew struck," and the poor shrews had to suffer in consequence. Of course the "shrew struck" animal had to have something to cure It, so an ash tree was selected and a deep hole wus bored into its trunk. Then a Bhrow was captured, put alive Into the hole, the bolo was securely plugged, and the Innocent little animal was left to die of starvation. Tho Ignorant believed that after such an act the ash trco had power to euro "shrew struck" animals, and whenever an animal becamo Inactlvo or a littlo numb In Its limbs Its owner hurried to tho "shrew ash," cut a switch from It and switched the ' "shrew Btruck" beast. Tho Hmartlng j caused by tho switching naturally made the helpless animal move about as much as It possibly could, and In a short time It was prouounccd "cured."

A small but distinguished company of English lawycrB sat talking over old times. Among them was Mr. S., who told the following story: "I was retained," ho said, "by an ex. soldier to suo for the recovery of .35 which ho had lent to a friend. The late Mr. J. was counsel for the de fendant. J. cross examined tho plain tiff In Ills usual forclblo way. " 'You lent him tho money?' Mr. J. asked. " 'I did, air.' "'It was your own money? "'It wus, sir.' " 'When did you lend him the mon ey?' "'In July.' " 'Where did you get that money, Bir?' " 'I earned It, Blr.' " 'You earned It, eh? When did you earn It?' " 'During the Boer war, sir,' he Bald In a very humble tone. " 'You earned It during tho Boer wur? Pray what wus your occupation during the war?' Mr. J. inquired. " 'Fighting, sir,' the man replied mod estly. "'Oh. fighting!' Mr. J. said, some what taken down. "I smiled triumphantly. Mr. J. was very angry. Well, we went to the Jury, and 1. of course, hud the last to say. I sailed away to glory. I spoke of the war, of the lives which It cost us, of tho awful battles which helped to build up the glory of our nation, of the self denial and bravery of our men, who left home and wife and children and father and mother and everything that was dear to them nnd went forth to the fight. I worked up tho Jury and got a verdict for the full amount. As we were quitting tho courtroom Mr. J. said: " 'S., your war speech gained you the verdict. If you hadn't discovered through my cross examination that the man had fought In the Boer war, you would have been beuten.' " 'My friend,' I replied, 'If you had only asked the man which side he fought on you might be going home with a verdict. My client served un der the Boer Aug.' " Maiden Insurance. The Maiden Insurance compan) Is a singular Denmark Institution. It is confined to the nobility, and the noble man, as soon as u female child Is born to him, enrolls her name on the com pany's hooks and pays In a certain sum and thereafter a fixed annual amount to the treasury. When tho young girl has readied the age of twenty-one she Is entitled to a fixed Income and to an elegant suit of apart ments, and this Income and this resi dence, both almost princely, are hers until she either marries or dies. Tho society has existed for generations. It has always prospered. Thanks to It, poverty stricken old maids are un known among tho Denmark nobility, but every maiden lady is rich and hnppy. iioiu lo Dodge.
