The Mouse Trap
The child is father to the man
said an inventor For instance there
was a millers son who invented at the
age of seventeen an automatic mouse
trap a trap that used the recoil from
one mouses capture to set itself for
another mouse This trap worked well
caught eleven mice at the first go off
and soon rid the millers mill of its
mice myriads Well sir the boy in
ventor of that mouse trap used the
traps recoil principle for his greatest
invention the Maxim gun for it is
Sir Hiram Maxim Im talking about
and if you go to the Maine village of
Sangerville theyll show you there one
of the automatic rapid firing mouse
traps that presaged the famous Maxim
gun

FISH SUPERSTITIONS
Queer Old Time Notions Some of
Which Still Survive
The one fish medicine of which mod
ern bclcncc thoroughly approves Is cod
liver oil and this though in far less
nauseous form than formerly is swal
lowed in tony every year
In old days n much wider use was
made of fish as cures for various evils
and some o these practices have sur
vived to the present day Some little
time ago ii hoy died of epilepsy In a
north Wales parish The doctor called
In too late Inquired If the deceased had
been given any medicine Oh yes
was the answer We caught a trout
drowned It in new milk and gave It to
the boy
Eels are supposed to possess all kinds
of virtues In the dark ages of medi
cine a powder made of eels liver was
considered an absolute specific for deaf
ness and was also employed in cases of
ague or fever A decoction of eels fat
is still used hi Dutch peasants as a
remedy for falling hair
But the most valuable part of the eel
according to popular superstition is its
skin Many an old farmer wears a
belt of eelskin as a ipreventive against
rheumatism and some believe that a
garter made of the skin of this snake
like fish worn next to the human skin
as a preventive not only against rheu
matism hut also against sprains or
similar injuries
Another cure for rheumatism which
finds favor with salt water fishermen
Is a red herring The herring being the
most plentiful of all the sea fish a
number of superstitions have attached
themselves to it For luck through the
ensuing year one must be sure to eat
a herring on New Years day
Fishermen believe that each shoal is
headed by a king herring which is
more than double as large as any of its
followers They believe that when one
of the kings comes tip in the net it
should bo thrown overboard otherwise
the next days fishing will be a failure

THE HEADSMAN
He Used the Sword and Not the Ax
Prior to 1483
I am inclined to think that prior to
14S3 the sword and not the ax was
usually employed as the weapon for
judicial decapitation and that a block
was dispensed with the victims receiv
ing their doom meekly kneeling upon
their knees and in this opinion I am
fortified by the concurrence of an emi
nent clerical historian This learned
writer agreed with me that the ax did
not become the regulation lethal im
plement until after the rough and ready
heading of Lord Hastings on the
Tower green when he was summarily
dispatched by order of the protector
Gloucester
In this instance according to the
chroniclers the victims neck was
stretched upon a piece of timber then
in use for the repair of the adjacent
church of St Peter ad Viucula prob
ably a putlog part of the scaffolding
which we read conveniently lay in
the way Contemporary accounts
seem to indicate that the executioner
straddled over the prone body and
from this position I infer that the de
capitation was effected by the tool
known as an adz the cutting edge of
which is at a right angle to and not in
a plane with the haft
I may add that the only contempo
rary reference I have come across of
the use or proposed use of an ax and
block for inflicting capital punishment
prior to this tragedy is in one of the
Paston series of letters describing the
peril of an unfortunate captive of Jack
Cades rebels A D 1430 a generation
before Lord Hastings was so clumsily
hacked to death London Notes and
Queries
The Hair
A single hair which can support a
weight of two ounches is so elastic
that it may be stretched to one third of
Its entire length and then regain its for
mer size and condition Dr Pincus
has measured the growth of hair by
cutting off circles about one inch in
diameter from the heads of healthy
men and so comparing the growth of
the patches with that of the rest of the
hair He found that the growth rate
generally became slower after cutting
that in some cases the hair on the
patches grew at the same rale as the
rest but that it never grew any faster
The ordinary length of the hair on
the head ranges- between twenty two
inches and about forty five inches the
latter being considered unusually long
London Standard
Beetles
The Rev Theodore Wood a well
known English authority on beetles
makes an interesting observation on a
little beetle found frequently in the
flowers of the primrose but nowhere
else which is quite a mystery It is
small brown and flat and Mr Wood
remarks of it How its life is lived
nobody knows Where its eggs are
laid what the grubs feed upon where
the chrysalis be hidden nobody knows
Xobody knows even why the perfect
beetle gets into the primrose blossom
An Easy Way
In order to succeed in life said the
experienced person you must not be
afraid to make enemies
Then answered the tractable
youth you would probably advise me
to put in some time as a baseball um
