|' TPost _ lToasties i Appetizing As the Parsees and the treasured Persian pets of the world‘s wealthy women hailed originally from the same land it is a curious fact that the Parsee reganrds all cats with loathing. So when a wealthy Parâ€" see found the domestic pet of his Mohammedan neighbor, Mookerâ€" jee, wandering into his house every night and curling up on the most sacred corners of his abode, he sent sharp protests next door. Mookerjee gave him the laugh, so he threatened to kill the cat the next time it intruded. Six Years‘ Legal Feud Over a Cat and Millions Snent. The Indian passion for the law has reached its record in a case just finished at Bombay after a six years‘ legal feud that all began about a cat. That feline animal has cost millions since the quarrel began. Along came the cat the following pight and went to sleep in the fireâ€" Ea,ce. Bo the Parsee slipped her to a sack and threw her out the bepmost window. The Mohammeâ€" dan‘s servant picked her up and reported to his master, who deâ€" tlared an eternal feud on his neighâ€" bor. The correspondence that folâ€" lowed was heavily charged with acid, till one day the cat disapâ€" The only point in which the parallel falls is this ; Scipio died outâ€" side his beloved city of Rome ; Welâ€" lington has his monument in St. Paul‘s Cathedral, London. â€" But the rZrallel between the careers of these two extraordinary men reâ€" mains as one of the curiosities of history. Seventeen years elapsed from the Battle of Zamaâ€"seventeen years to the very dayâ€"when the great Scipio was tried on a question of bribery. He was not slow in his defense to remind his judges that on that â€"lay he had saved the republic: Sevenâ€" teen years elapsed from the Battle of Waterlooâ€"seventen years to the ery dayâ€"when the great Wellingâ€" ie«n had to take réfuge from the atâ€" tack of a London mob, angered on anccount of his opposition to the Parliamentâ€"reform bill. Neither of these great generals met his archadversary until the hnal and decisive battleâ€"Zama and Waterloo respectively. And the result of both battles was exile to the defeated chiefs. Hannibal reâ€" bired to Ephesus. Napoleon was kieported to St. Helena. ‘ But the parallel does not end here. Both Scipio and Wellington exchanged a military for a political career. And here the same . fate pursued them. Scipio iscurred the pnmity of the Roman Senats; Welâ€" lington gained the hostility of the London populace. And here folâ€" lows the most remarkable feature pf the parallel drawn between these bwo great men. Ready to serve right Each was descended from _ &n rncient and noble family. _ Each was the second greatest soldier of his age, pitted in a lifeâ€"andâ€"death struggle against the greatest. As Beipio was to Hannibal, so was Wellington to Napoleon. Hannibal threatened the very existence . of Rome ; Napoleon was on a fair way to become the master of Europe. Again, Spain was the center of the most splendid achievements in Bpain are too well known to need recapitulation, and â€" Wellington‘s briumphs in the Peninsular War Jorm one of the commonplaces <{ history. "YWO REMARKAEBLE CAREERS. Jue of the Greatest Curiosities of History.

The way to avoid serious results is to cleanse the wound and apply Zamâ€"Buk. Zamâ€"Buk is a powerful yet painless germâ€"killer, and when applied to the broken skin is abâ€" sorbed into the tissue, instantly destroying the germs that spread disease and stopping the pain and smarting. That is why Zamâ€"Buk is so popular with children. Take a simple illustration. When a knife, a rusty needle, a splinter of dirty wood, a barbed wire fence, or a thorn, seratches the hand, the latter is in inoculated with germs. Morris Quatzam, an elevenâ€"year old Windsor boy, fell off his bicycle and â€" seratched his wrist. He thought nothing of the injury, but blood poison set in and he is dead. Such incidents as theseâ€"by no means infrequentâ€"ought to make people realize the danger that may lie even in the smallest wound.
