of tbe origin oi roast pig. Tbe owoar of
a Utter of Juvenile porkers, roosted to
death by tbe caaoaJ burning of tbe fam
ily sty, In picking about among the
reins and sorrowfully handling tbe
crisp remains chanced to burn his fin
gers. Clapping them to pl$ mouth, be
tasted a pleasure so exquisite that It
made him at once forget bis pain and
loss. Pouncing on tbe prise, be not only
dispatched the whole barbecue at a sit
ting, but licked bis lips for more.
The story got wind, and the entire
country was ablaze with burning pig
pens, nor was It till many years after
that some adventurous Innovator shock
ed the adherents of conservative cook
ery by proposing a new and lees expen
sive process of preparing a favorite
dish.
It Is not for us lawyers to laugh at
this. None has been more prone than
we to roast pigs according to precedent.
All of us can remember when in every
action to recover the value of one
man's property wrongfully appropriat
ed by another It was necessary to al

cause the first case of the sort, bun-:
dreds of years ago, happened to be one j
of real losing and finding. Nay, I have !
even known the loss and finding of a j
patch of cabbages to be solemnly aver- j
red, and no lawyer thought of smiling

"It Is always amusing to watch the
rooks In the period of their courtship,"
says au English writer. "When the
male bird first begins to seek a mate
the fact Is soon made known to the
world at large by a curious hoarsening
of his voice. There Is no accounting for
tastes, according to an old proverb,
and to the female rook there Is no inu
sic equal to the hoarseness that her
lord begins to show about the middle
af January. Then begin the violent
tournaments of which she is a passive
spectator. The two claimants for ber
favor often begin pecking at one an
other at the very tops of the trees, and
as in the fury of their onslaught they
lose foothold they drop and drop and
drop till they bump against the ground,
often at the very feet of some human
onlooker who has been watching their
proceedings with Interested curiosity.
Darwin tells us of similar Incidents in
the life history of deer aud cites as
somewhat of an argument against the
doctrine of the survival of the fittest
that while two lordly and robust stag9
are fighting for the hind it will often
happen that a timid and feeble third
stag will come In and carry off tb
prize.
"But no such capriciousness as that
is allowed the female rook. Probably
before the battle begins he who aspires
to be her future lord and master has
selected the home In which they are to
live, and should any other rook at- i
tempt to share It with her he will fight
him to the death. In this case the sur
vival of the fittest is Insured.
"When once they are mated the rooks
seem to stick together and be subject

WHY INDIANS PAINT.
M.n Apache Learend Which Account
For the Grotaaque Custom.
Once an old Apache Indian, when
asked the question why the people
painted their faces, told this little leg
end: "Long ago, when men were weak and
animals were big and strong, a chief
of the red men who lived m these
mountains went out to get a deer, for
bis people were hungry.
"After walking all day be saw a
deer and shot at it but the arrow was
turned aside and wounded a mountain
Hon, which was also after tbe deer.
When the lion felt the sting of the ar
row he Jumped up and bounded after
the man, who ran for his life.
"lie was almost exhausted, and when
be felt his strength giving way he fell
to the ground, c.'"ug on the, big bear,
who, you know, is Ui grandfather of
men, to save Mm.
"The big Ik. : . nnl t' . call and saw
that to save the Mar he bad to act
quickly, so ne r-;r.r, od his foot and
sprinkled .u WcV er the man.
"Now, you ki.o that no animal will
eat of rle ben or taste of his blood.
So wi-en rh' lv; approached the man
he smt'tlP'I of che blood aud turned
away, bvt ps i.u did so his foot scraped
tli face of I'm man, leaving the marks
i 'ax clavs on the blood smeared
face.
"vnien the mn found that he was
arm,1vTtKl he was so thankful that he
feft the blood to dry on his face and
never washed it kt aQ, but left It until
it peeled off.
"Where the claws of tbe lion scraped
it off there were marks that turned
brown In the sun, and where the blood
stayed on It was lighter. Now alJ men
paint their faces that way with Mood
and scrape it off In streaks when they
bunt or go to war."
