The liberty cap, that bag shaped he.'jdgCir so often seen on the head of the Goddess of Liberty, owes its origin to the Roman empire, where it was given .to slaves as a sign of , their manumission. The principal ’ significance of the liberty cap to the American mind is not, however, its Roman origin, but rather its use ns Hie official cup of the successive doges of republican Venice, that “model of the most stable govern­ ment ever framed by man.” In the, doges’ palace at Venice there is a; gallery full of portraits of the men i v/ito ruled the republic for 700 years, and the conspicuous place oc- cupied by the liberty cap in these portraits shows its importance as a; national symbol of freedom, i It rather heightens tho signifi­ cance of this ancient symbol in the minds of good Americans when it is remembered that the Kmperor Fred* critic Barburossii humbled- himself before a wearer of the liberty cap ' and that AndreaDandolo wore i.t on the fourth crusade and at the eon- quest of Constantinople.

A rat has recently caused consid­ erable consternation in a French family. A gentleman on leaving his office in Baris locked tip in his Cup­ board for temporary safety a can­ vas bag containing about fifty gold coins. Next morning when he went to fetch the money to pn^ in the bank the ci pboard was as bare as that of Mother Hubbard. The po­ lice were called in and set to watch certain suspected persons, but in the meanwhile some one noticed a small hole nr the cupboard, suggesting « four legged thief. Bo small parcels of meat were locked up in the cap- board for two wights. These also disappearing, some of the woodwork was taken up, and the remnants of the meal showed the way to a rat hole four feet away where the re­ mains of a canvas bag and the miss­ ing coins were duly discovered.-— Golden Benny. • ..
