Such quarrels, frequently ending in fatall- ties, serve as reminders of other be- liefs that sanctify various beasts. Throughout history, and in nearly every land, animals--domesticated or wild--have been held sacred by large numbers of persons. Cattle have been highly respected in many lands. In Egypt the cult of the bull Apis was famous. When death came" to the reigning Apis, wide search was made mark. The new Apis received an edu- cational course lasting several months in the city of Nelopolis. A birthday was assigned to it and became-the great festive event of the year. Snow- white oxen were sacrificed te Apis. No woman was allowed to go near it, from"it, At death there was great mourning, and the mummified body of | Apis was buried in a rock tomb with splendid ceremony. To-day certain wild tribes in Africa and Madagascar keep sacred bulls. The water buffalo, found in nearly all tropical countries of the Old World and used as a beast of burden, is held in semi-reverence in some few.places. Tribesmen work these buffaloes their rice fields, but the meat is not eaten except at the yearly sacrifice of a young buffalo bull, and then only by adult males of the tribe. ' Sacred White Elephant On the flag of the kingdom of Siam is a white elephant. When a white elephant is born or captured it is taken at once to the king. It is then baptized and feted and is sacred as long as it lives. Every white elephant is supposed to contain .the soul of some dead person--usually some one of importance, even a Buddha. The sheep is held sacred among a few wild African tribes. In ancient! Thebes the God Ammon wag Tam- headed and the ram was regarded as sacred. A yearly sacrifice was held by the Thebans and the ram's wool was made into raiment for the idol. Of wild animals a great variety are either sacred or otherwise celebrated.

The natives all weep over its ap- proaching sacrifice. But once the fat- ted dub fis killed the flesh Is eaten amid great revelry and dancing. A bear-goddess dug up in Switzerland a century ago indicated that at some prehistoric time bears were sacred among the Alpine tribes. Leopards, lions, tigers and wolves have all been held sacred in some de- gree, probably because people hoped In West Africa the leopard cult flourish- es. Among the Ewe a man who kills a leopard may be put to death for his crime; a leopard skin must not be ex- posed to view, but a stuffed leopard is an object of worship. On the Gold Coast the slayer of a leopard must oracles were sought and obtained) paint himself to resemble his victim; silent, he is carted around the village behind the body of his kill. In Loango a crown is placed upon the head of a dead leopard and the natives dance in its honor. The ancient Egyptions had a lion god, as did certain Aryan tribes. To- day there is a lion idol among the Bo- Janda of Africa. Tiger gods are found in parts of Indiasand Mongolia. At a (tiger festival in Nepal the natives j dress tof resemble tigers and dance and worship in the tiger's honor. The monkey god, Hanuman, is a favorite in parts of India. Where this is the case monkeys are perfectly safe from all harm in spite of the fact that they frequently become great nuis- ances and raiders. Reptiles, especially the serpent, have many worshipers. At Whydah in Africa a great temple erected to |the serpent contains some fifty snakes. | Some of the species are so sacred that if one is killed, even accidentally, the penalty is death. Some African tribes believe that serpents are Jeesased re- latives incarnated. Birds and fish are Often the object of Tévérence.

He immediately set about the task of founding the city and succeeded in doing so in the face of strong opposition from the Indians and the French. Sentries had to be posted on the outskirts and armed parties sent out with the pioneers to cut the timber for, building the log huts, The table around which he formed the first provisional government in 1749 on board one of the warships which brought the settlers to Halifax, is located in the Legislative Building, Halifax, the oldest existing parliament building in the British Empire, and it was at this table that Canada's new Governor General, the Earl of Bess: borough, was sworn in.

There is no pain with Kruschen, 1 have told hundreds of my little wonder-working bottle."--(E. C. Fergusson.) Dizziness is a symptom of a deeper- seated disorder. It is one of Nature's danger signals--her urgent waming of an impure blood-stream which, if not attended to in time, may wreck the entire health with some dangerous, indeed lifelong, disease.
