HERE was c
time a King -n
was verv ill, a
all physicians agreed that he could never
recover unless he could hear the phenix
bird sin?. The King had three sons, whom
he called to him and said:
"To the one who brings me the phenix
bird shall I give my kingdom." The three
youths set out on the journey, and traveled
together until they came to a large tree
wmcn stood at the cross-roads. .Here the
brothers decided to separate, and after cut
ting their names on the bark of the tree.
they promised that whoever should return
first would await the others. "When the
eldest prince had traveled a short distance
he met a huge bear, who asked:
"Where are vou going, traveler?"
"That doe not concern you," was the un
gracious reply.
The second prince met the same hear, and
in answer to the question, "Where are you
goingy saio:
"Don't trouble yourself about mvafiairs."
The bear was very angry at this lack of
courtesy, and growled furiously
u.ne youngest prince, whose name was
Ferdinand, traveled several hours without
meeting any one; then the bear finally
crossed his path also, and addressed to him
the same question which he had asked his
brothers. The boy answered:
"My father is very ill, and cannot recover
unless he hears the phenix bird sing, and I
amxroing with mv brothers-in search of this
bird."
"If you will trust yourself to me," said
the bear, "I will show you where the
phenixbird is to be found, and how you can
obtain it. Xoir seat yourself on my back
in order that you may travel 'faster."
The boy obeyed, and soon was speeding
rn
like the wind over the country. Twelve
hours they traveled over hill and dale, and
at nightfall stopped before a large city.
"Within these walls," said the bear, "lives
the King who owns the phenix bird. Go
into the castle and seek a place as a servant;
you will then have an opportunity of going
into the birdbouse andeenring the phenix
bird which stands in a wooden cage. In
that cage you must carry it away, or else all
will go wrong with yon."
Early the next morning the youth went to
the castle, as the bear had told him to do,
and was fortunate enough to obtain a posi
tion in the bird house. By his diligence he
soon won the confidence of the head master,
who one day went away and left Ferdinand
in charge of the birds. "Now," thought
the bov, "this is mv opportunity to escape
with the treasure." So, taking the small
wooden case that stood in the corner, he was
about to leave the room, vhen thinking it a
pitv to carry so handsome a creature in such
a homely cage, he selected a golden one,
and, putting the bird in it hastily, left the
castle. But as he was pressing the conrt
yard the phenix bird began to scream and
make snch a noise that all the servants ran
to see what was the matter, and poor Ferdi
nand was seized and thrown into prison
"Oh, if I had only obeyed the bear," he
cried.
"Yea, that is what yon should have done,"
said the hear," suddenly appearing before
him. "But as this is your first offense I
shall forgive you and help vou out of this
trouble. Yon must beg permission to be led
to the King; then tell him why you wished

his bird, and say that if he will give it to
jou, you will bring him the most beailtifnl
steed under the sup." The boy carefully
obeyed these instructions, and was released
by the king, who willingly promised the
bird in return for the horse.
The bear was waiting at the palace cate,
and taking the boy on bis back traveled
with him up hill and down until at dusk
they reached a large city, where the bear
said a king lived who kept the most beauti
ful horses in the world. Ferdinand must
seek the place of stable boy, and then he
would have an opportunity of securing the
horse; but he must be sure to lead him away
bv his own leather halter, ptherVise great
misfortune would come upon bim. The
Prince went to the castle and was engaged
as stable boy. One day being left alone in
the stable he took the heautilul horse by the
halter and led him out into the yard; but he
thought it would not do to present to the
King snch a handsome auinial with snch an
ugly halter, and taking a golden bridle that
was near he (lipped it on. At that moment
the horse became unmanageable and cried
out, "Thief, thief." The court officers soon
assembled, and again poor Ferdinand was
thrown into prison.
"Oh. what shall I do now," he cried, "the
PHtMIX BIRD.
PITTSBTJBG DISPATCH,
bear will certainly have nothing more to do
with me?"
His old friend, however, appeared before
him, and, after Reproving him severely,
i(h "Since you are sorry for your dis
obedience I shall help you once more. Go
to the King, tell him why you wished his
horse, and say that if he will give it to you
you will bring him a jewel more precious
than ever seen by man."
The Prince lost no time in following this
advice. He was setjat'liberty bv the King,
who promised to give the horse in return for
the precious jewel. Mounting the bear
Ferdinand sped over the country till he
came "to a high mountain.
"Now," said the bear, "in a few moments
the mountain will open and will remain
open for one hour. Enter fearlessly; for,
although you will see lions and all other
kinds of wild animals, they cannot hurt
you. Go to the end of the cave, and there,
lyine apart on a golden plate, you will find
the precious jewel. Do not stop to gather
other gems, for if the mountain should close
upon you I could do nothing lor you."
Ferdinand resolved to profit by his former
experience. When, a few moments later,
with a noise like thunder, the mountain
parted, the boy, unmindful of the frightful
monsters hich appeared on all sides, rushed
into the cave, looking neither to the right
nor the left, until he found the object of his
search. Then turning round he
walked rapidly toward the entrance,
within a few feet of which
he discovered a large quantity of exquisite
pearls. Thinking that it would require but
an instant to snatch a handful, he bent over
the stones, when, from an invisible hand,
he received such a violent blow on his head
that he was serjt reeling from the cave out
upon the mountain side. When Ferdinand
recovered himself there stood the bear
smiling grimly at him.
"You may thank me for that blow," he
said; "in an instant more the mountain would
have closed, and you would have been shut
in forever."
The Prince was grateful for his escape,
and having seated himself on the back of
the bear, soon came to the owner of the
handsome horse, who willingly gave his
steed for the precious jewel. Ferdinand
then hastened to secure the phenix bird,
which was readily given him for the horse.
"And now," said the bear, "vou do not
need me, and I shall go my way."
But Ferdinand would listen to no such
proposition, and finally persuaded this
kind friend to accompany him to his
father's palace.
There was great rejoicing in the court
when it was learned that the youngest
prince had returned and brought the
phenix bird. The other brothers had long
since returned unsuccessful, and the old
King was now too week to leave his bed.
Ferdinand entered the palace amid blow
ing ot horns and flourishes of trumpets.
Turning to look for his old comrade, he
was astonished to see, not a great shaggy
bear, but a noble Prince, who had been en
chanted by a wicked fairy.
The phenix bird sang merrily, and the
old King joined in the dance given inhonor
of his son's return. Ferdinand received
the kingdom from his father, and became
the greatest ruler in the land. JPatsie.
A bird fabled to exist single, and to rise
again from its own, ashes, and hence used as
an emblem of immortality.

As the train left Dayton, south bound,
the conductor came into the smoking car
with a cry of "Tickets, pleasel" and as there
was only one fresh passenger he walked di
rectly up to him. This new arrival was
from the farm, and in nothing of a hurry.
"What's up. Kurnel?" he asked as the
conductor halted before him.

"Yes. Is she on time?"
"Yes."

consternation, the farmer lor the first time
apprehended the fact that he had left tbe

rWRITTKN FOB T3Z DISPATCH.
There is much that is curious and anomal
ous in the relations between woman and the
The salt water usually goes under a
masculine name, although the ancient
Greek and the modern Frenchman alike
used a feminine appelation for it The
goddesses of the sea were all powerful,
sharing with Neptune the dominion over its
waters. The chosen patroness of sailors in
Greece was Athene, a female goddess.
Derceto, Isis, Thetis, Juno, Artemus, Ino
and Doris, arriong the Greeks, and Syrians,
Skathi and Ban among the Northmen, and
other inferior female deities, possessed more
or less power over the waves, according to
legendary myths. There was traditionally
a multitude of feminine beings sporting in
the foaming waves, such as the Oceanids,
the Nereids, the Hindoo Apsaras, the Ger
man Nixies, which were the ancestors of the
modern mermaids. Female deities of the
sea are not unknown in our days. The
Chinese have a favorite marine goddess,
Ijoong-Mdo, and Ke-Hung and Ma-Chua
are also venerated by sailors.
4ncient myths also represent woman as the
offspring of the salt foam. Venus arose from
its blue waves, and Lakshuii, a Hindoo
goddess, had a similar origin. A certain
tribe of Arizona Indians revere a "grand
mother goddess of the sea," who, they say,
brought mankind and speech with her from
the bottom of the ocean. It is usually a
male oemg woo, coming irom the sea
depths, brings with him the sciences and
arts. Audaman Islanders say the first
woman came from the 'sea. The Virgin
Mary is to Catholic sailors all-powerful at
sea. Her chapels line the coast of Southern
Europe, and are filled with tablets, inscrip
tions, pictures aud gifts made by pious sail
ors in times of distress and danger. Eras
mus, in his "Shipwreck," says: "In ancient
times. Venus took care of mariners because
she was supposed to be born of tbe sea, and
because she left off taking care of them the
Virgin Mother was put in her place." In a
hymn to the Virgin in use in Catholic
churches she is called "Star of the Sea,"
and is asked to calm the waves. According
to old legends, Saint Christine was thrown
into the sea, with a stone about her neck.
The cord broke, the stone sank and the
saint walked ashore. Saint Anne is the
patroness of Canadian sailors. Saint Hele
na calmed a storm at sea, and other canon
ized women are fabled to have certain power
over the deep.
BOEN OF THE SEA.
Woman is still more closely connected
with the sea in other legends. Hesiod
makes the ocean offspring of Mother Earth
and Father Uranus. According to Polyne
sian myths, Tane is mother of the sea, as
well as of fresh water and of the winds.
Sailors in Brittany call the sea "grand
mother," while in Spain they allude to it as
"godmother." When the sea is smooth and
tranquil. Portuguese sailors call it "the
ladies' sea," and Breton boatmen call it
"ladies' weather." A bay on the coast of
Potbio i, f.'illorl Tla h...lTlati at f trivia9 T
and Spanish discoverers called the tropical
sea, when the gentle trade winds blow, the
"ladies' gulf." (Gnlfo de las damas.)
In many popular legends women dwell at
the bottom of the ocean. This is generally
trne of the old goddesses of the sea, of the
nymphs, the mermaids and nixies. In
Greenland myths, an old woman lives at
the bottom of the ocean, guarded by seals,
and seeds forth the animals of the sea.
Mermaids have beautiful palaces to which
they sometimes decoy men. Sometimes,
on the contrary, the men of the sea carry
away earthly brides, who sometimes leave
them in the lurch, like the forsaken mermaids
of the beautiful ballad.
In Russian story, Sadko marries a daugh
ter of the Tsar Moskoi, King of the Sea,
and lives in a golden palace at the bottom
of the ocean. An ancestral god of the
Japanese was reported also to have married
the daughter of tbe King of the Tides. An
Irish legend reports the same ot the semi
historical King Diarmid. One of the most
bizarre of these stories of men detained be
neath the waves is one formerly told that
the officers of the Royal George. Admiral
LKempenfeldt's ship,thatsankather anchors
at bpitnead, were detained in tbe wreck by
the spell cast over them by Portsmouth
women, for whom they had manifested great
attachment. The magic of these diabolical
sirens was broken when, the bulk was de
stroyed by an electrical mine.
A tradition of Colonsay Island recited
that a certain MacPhail was carried off by
a mermaid, whom he atterward deserted.
And ever as the year returns
Tbe charm-bound sailors know the lay,
For sadly still the mermaid monrns
The lovely chief of Colonsay."
Such -tales are numerous. There are
many localities on the eastern coast of the
Atlantic where such beings are said to lurk.
ready to drag down the unwary sailors for1
wnom especially tney seem to have a predi
lection. THE SAILOE'S WIFE.
The sea itself, however, is sometimes
cruel to women. An old Briton legend
asserts that a group of roots in a certain
locality are certain young girls who derided
a maritime saint whose chapel is near the
spot. Tennyson, in "Enoch Arden," por
trays the desolate condition of the wire of
the absent mariner, and there is olten truth
in the Tamil saying: "Tbe wife of the
shipmaster is in a lucky situation so long as
the ship is safe; if it is lost, she must beg."
Witches and such uncanny females had
great power over tbe sea. Certain Druid
esses on the Isle la Sein, off the French
coast, were anciently reported to have great
power over the waves. Lapland witches
were especially noted in former days fortnis
power. "O'ons. I'll marry. a Lapland
witch as soon, and live "upon selling
contrary winds and wrecked vessels," says
one of the characters in an old English play:
There were many famous English witches
who were said to have caused storms at sea.
In King James II, of Scotland's day, Ag
nes Sampson conspired with others to wreck
that monarch's ship, and raised a storm by
throwing a cat into the sea. Many others,
like the witch in "Macbeth," possessed
power over the elements, and Scott tells of
Bessie Millie who drove a prosperous trade
in winds as late as 1814. These same ladies
sailed about iu selves and eggshells.
Virgil makes the ships of his hero turn to
female nymphs.
""Now, wondroug! as they beat the foaming
Tbe umber softens into flesh and blood.
The yards and oars now arms and legs design;
A trunk, the hull; the slender keel, a spine;
Tbe prow, a female face: and by degrees
The galleys rise green daughters of the seas."
Notwithstanding a physical dread of the
sea, fashion makes of women persistent sea
bathers, and some doubtless believe in the
many absurd things frequently said about
the wonderlul efficacy of sea water. In
former days sea baths were believed, to puri
fy from sins, and a mbdern traveler tells us
that Sidonian women still assemble on a
certain beach to dance and to bathe in the
sea for the purpose of washing away their
sins. On the shores of tbe Bed Sea, widows
get rid of theirsuperfluous grief by n sea bath
immediately after the funeral, accompanied
by their female friend. In many islands-of
Oceanica infants are bathecUn tbe sea by
their mothers at soon as convenient alter
birth.
ISLANDS INHABITED BY WOMEN'.
A widespread legend existed of islands in
the ocean inhabited only by women, like the
Homeric Isles of Circe and Calypso. Jason
and the Argonauts found women onlv at
Ul'UU.
Leunoi. Arab geographers in'.the Middle J
Aees stroke ofGeziret-el-Nesro. where no
male being ever landed, and they had other J.
traditions ot isles innaoiteu oy immuruu
women, similar to that described by the
Fijians as lying to the nprthwest of their
archipelago. Old Harco Palo brought to
Europe traditions of such islands, and there
is still a legendary Woman's Island near
Japan. Columbus "reported of Martinique
that women were its only inhabitants. Fonee
islands, on the contrary were forbidden to
women. Such was the holy Isle lona, where
'monks alone dwelt. The wives of servitors
and tradesmen resided in tbe neigh
boring Woman's Island. The same
was reported ot another priestly
island. Lindisfnrsep. Neither women
nor hogs were allowed on the Isle of
Shoals prior to 1674, and women are still
prohibited on tbe Island of Fernando
Novouha, and on Navassa Island, the scene
of a recent tragedy. It was quite the fash
Ion to place the middle ages heroines upon
islands in tbe sea, and Astolpho makes
Alcina inhabit an insular paradise, and in
another were the enchanted gardens of
Armida. Ovid tells us of a maiden,
Peumele, who was turned into an island,
and there are other Greek legends to the
same effect.
Popular proverbs connect woman with the.
sea, usually to her disadvantage. Old
Greek and Latin proverbs were: "Fire, Sea
and Woman three evils;" and Italian and
Bussian savings repeat the same. In Sicily
they say: "God keep us from the sea, from
fire and from women."
Woman, fire. Mars, wind and sea,
Make five Ills ot great degree;
reads an old French proverb. A Danish
slander upon the sex is, "When a woman
has no answer ready, the sea will want
water." "Trust not the discourse of the
great, the duration of a calm at .sea, the
lucidity of, the day, the speed of thy horse, or
the speech of woman," says a Turkish pro
verb. Two very old English proverbs con
nect women further with the ship: "A ship
and a woman are ever repairing," and "A
ship and a woman always want trimming."
These also furnish reasons for the sailor's
calling his ship "ohe." There are many
other alleged reasons for this. The ship is
capricious and fitful, "the rigging costs more
than the hull," and looks best when fully
rigged out. The ship possesses many parts
of the female attire has a waist, collar,
stays, laces, bonnets, ties, riblands, earrings,
chains, jewels and scarfs, and is full of pins,
hooks and eyes. The ship is the sailor's
sweetheart, but the impressionable mariner
often divides his affections between this and
other loves.
MAEEIAGE AND THE SEA
are connected by several pithy sayings, and
a ludicrous anecdote illustrates the same
union. An old Scotch saying is: "Mar
riage wad tame the sea, if a match could be
made for her." "When yon walk," says
the Bnssian proverb, "pray once; when you
go to sea, pray twice; when going to be mar
ried, pray three, times."
Two French women were walking by the
sea, and one, astonished by the high and
furious waves, asked the other: "Is tbe sea
married?" "No." "Ah, if it were only
weddedl I promise you its Iriskiness would
be soon tamed!" Spaniards say: "Tuesday,
don't marrv, eo to sea, or leave your wife;"
while Italians have a similar proverb:
"Friday, don't marry, don't travel."
"Give a woman luck and cast her into the
sea," is an old English saying, and some
such sentiment must have prompted the
German who threw his wife overboard to
lighten the ship in'a storm, saying: "All
freight lightens." An old epigram refers
to this or a similar anecdote:
Wbattyme a troublous tempest rose and tost
tbe trembling seas;
Each one threw in his heaviest stuff, the loaded
boat to ease;
But Molzut (one among the rest)cast in his
wife, and salde,
'Naught heavier than skoldlng wife I deme
there can be waled.'
Women are not famous as navigators. An
old French saying emphasizes this:
If tbe sea was never rough.
Every woman would be a sailor.
Women are acconnted as unlucky at sea,
and sailors used to dread seeing them on
board. Fishermen in many places do not
allow them near their boats or tackle, and
count it a bad omen to meet
one early -in the- mormntr.
Although I
woman seems physically incapacitated from
the sailors' calling, there have been in the
annals of the sea, many notable instances of
female sailors. In a few rare cases women
have disguised themselves in male attire,
and have been efficient as seafarers, while
accounts ot the bravery and good seaman
ship of the wife of some merchant captain,
whojias been driven to take her husband's
place, come to us occasionally. In the
melancholy records of shipwrecks, women
otten shine conspicuously as examples of
fortitude, endurance, and resignation. There'
are certain duties best performed by women,
and the multiplication of ocean travel has
led to the employment of
AN AMAZONIAN FLEET
of stewardesses, most of whom seem to be as
little affected by the motion of the vessel as
their male associates. Upon the gre.at
lakes there are many women employed s
cooks on board the coasting schooners. One
ol the best amateur yacht sailors of modern
days was the now deceased Lady Brassey,
who seemed to delight in the lite at sea.
Since yachting has become so fashionable,
more women are to be found at sea. If we
argue Irom the habits of women in the
islands of the Pacific, or in Greenland
waters, women may become as much habit
uated to the waves and as skillful in the
management of boats as men. The oomiks
or "woman boats" of Arctic regions are
manned by females alone. Gilbert's satire
on milk and water sailors in his ballad,
"The Hot Cross Buu," may but foreshadow
what we will see in the future, when some
gallant captain shall be persecuted by the
attentions of amatory female seawomen.
Ihe ignorance of women concerning nauti
cal things has made them the target for wits
on many occasions. "Pshaw," said a
Frenchwoman who saw the ocean for the
first time, "the ebb and the flow is, alter all,
nothing but green water." Another ex
claimed: "Ah I tbe big pond! bat if it over
flows I shall be completely overwhelmed!"
The fisherman's egotism in naming the At
lantic "the herring pond" was equalled by
the Breton washerwoman who cried out at
sight of the sea: "You have there a big
washing pond, but iwill take many wash
ing stones to surround it."

TIM CAMPBELL AND TWEED.
A Prediction About the Grent Boss That
ffni Fully Verified.
New York Snn.l
OneoftBe stories that went around at
Tim Campbell's Oriental Club banquet tbe
other night was the one of Mr. Campbell's
alleged remarks to Tweed when the latter,
then in the height ot power, had caused o
be ofiered to Campbell an immense sum if
he would join the Tweed ranks.
"Mr. Tweed," Campbell is said to have
E3id, "you're a good fellow and I like ypu,
but you can'tet anything out of me; I'll
be up here at Albany yet when you're be
hind the bars."
After Tweed's fall and when his residence
in Ludlow street jail made him a constitu
ent or Campbell's, the two men struck up a
great friendship, and Campbell used to go
around to the jail evenings aud play cards
with the old man. Tweed himself then
spoke of Campbell's remarks of several
years belore and talked mournfully of the
fulfillment of the prediction.

SUNDAY THOUGHTS
-ON-
AND
BY A CLERGYMAN.
Certain theorists dream of the day wben
national boundaries shall be obliterated and
nations melted into one vast brotherhood.
'Tis a more fanciful "Utopia than SirThomas
More's. Prof. Goldwin Smith, in his lec
tures on the Study of History, points out
the fact that the division ot mankind into
nations has clearly entered into the counsels
of creation. It is secured not only by bar
riers of sea, mountains, rivers, intervening
deserts barriers which conquest, the steam
vessel, the railroad might surmount but
also by race, by language, by climate, and
other physical influences,so potent that each
in its turn has been magnified into the key
of all history.
The reason is plain. If all mankind
formed a single Commonwealth, with one
language, one constitution, one literature,
and this state became corrupted, what re
demption would there be? As the keen stu
dent above mentioned wisely says, nations
redeem each other. They preserve for each
other principles, truths, hopes, aspirations,
which, committed to the keeping ot one na
tion only, might, as frailty and error are
conditions o man's being, become extinct
forever. They not only raise each other
when fallen, tbey save each other from fall
ing; they support each other s steps by sym
pathy and example; they moderate each
other's excesses and extravagances, and
keep them short of the fatal point by the
mutual action of opinion. They do for
each other nationally very much what men
of different characters do for each other
morally in the intercourse of life; and that
they might do this it was necessary that
they should be as they are, and as the; ar
rangements of the world secure their being.
at once alike and unlike alike enough for
sympathy, unlike enongh for mutual cor
rection. Those, therefore, who would destroy na
tionalities, whether by the sword of the
conqueror or the catchwords of internation
alism, should understand that tbey have to
contend not only against morality, but
against natnre.
The attempts which have been made by
conquest have been significant failures.
Take Austria a horde of different races
held'together under the lock and key of
despotism. Its weakness, its tendency to go
to pieces is an open secret. Take Tureev.
Proverbially, it is the "sick man" of Eu
ropesuffers from chronic dyspepsia,
caused by the effort to digest mongrel
bloods. On the other band, the strong na
tions are Germany and France, which are
homogeneous.
Or to go further back, ancient Borne con
quered the world. "What was the result?
Political' and social corruption. Whence
came relief? From without. The warlike
tribes ol the North shivered under the yoke of
Borne, and after an agony of six centuries
restored the nations. The brotherhood of
the future will be Christian, not national
spiritual, not earthly. "My kingdom,"
said Jesus, "is notof this world."
A Foolish Satire.
One of -the holiday comic papers published
a cartoon representing a clergyman iu the
act of disposing of his multitude of
Christmas presents at a cash sale. He
stands behind a counter crowded with
various articles, useful and ornamental,
with a bevy of fair purchasers in the fore
ground. This is meant to be funny. Unhappily,
the satire fails because there is no truth un
derlying it. In an active ministry of 20
years, in what would be called important
charges, the writer testifies that he- never
experienced any snowslide of holiday gifts,
and a careful iuqiry among his ministerial
friends has dismally failed to discover any
such experience in their case. The truth is,
this idea that clergymen are specially and
airmail (nvAVArl at CYtrtatrrrlSh ia ahb. nftl,...
popular fallacies that" linger long arid die
l hard, occasionally a clergyman, excep
tionally placed, or young and unmarried,
and hence fair game tor cfear-stalkers, is a
spoiled parting of Santa Claus. But, as a
rule, the clergy suffer from neglect, not sur
feit, and give much while receiving littje.
The ordinary parish is liberal In criticism,
but stingy in co-operation; unstinted in its
demands and stinted in its supplies. While
the average salary of ministersvis less than
the average stipend of skilled mechanics, it
is clear that they are anaemic, not plethoric.

Uesr Yonr Own Bnrden.
The Christian Inquirer thus comments
upon "carking care:" "Much of the
anxiety of mind which troubles some
Christian people is of their own creating.
They have ambitions which they believe
must be gratified or life will be of little ac
count. They form plans of whose righteous
ness they are themselves doubtful, or they
engage in business ventures which they feel
are opposed to the teachings of the New
Testament. Necessarily, in such circum
stances, it is impossible to cast tbese cares
on God. Every man must bear his own
bnrden when he trusts his own wisdom and
walks after the desire of his own lieart. It
is these burdens, made np of pride and
greed, that often crush Christian people.
A Characteristic of the Times.
Speaking of one characteristic of our
times, the Eev Dr. John Hall remarks:
"This is pre-eminently an age of literature.
Books in every variety ot form go every
where. The serial literature of the time is
itself a marvel, and the "body." "society,"
"community," "town class" or "view" that
has not its "organ" is of small account in
deed. Are we to be afraid of all this? Are
we to show jealousy of it? Are we to stand
aloof irom it? Are we to be indifferent to
it? Are we to talk as if our souls pined for
the good old times when people read only
their Bibles and the whole dnty of man?
"Not if we have even a little wisdom.
Do not we ministers read the newspapers
and magazines? Did we not, when we had
time, read Sir Walter Scott, Thackeray,
Dickens, Byron even, Ben Jonson, and
perhaps other and more varied worksV
Why should we ignqre the desire of others
to read corresponding literature, adapted to
their level and their means? 'I want you
to speak to my son,' said a good Christlau
mother in great anxiety, to her pastor. The
pastor had a very good opinion of the boy,
the intelligent son of a carpenter. 'Whv?'
said he, 'what makes you anxious about
him?' 'Well, he's took to a kind of books I
don't know anything about, and I don't
like.' 'What sort?' 'Well, he's constantly
at the works of one Mr. Shakespeare. I
think he giv' himself to makiu' plays for
the stage.' Grammar, happily, is not "essen
tial to goodness. This good mothlr had little
education. What should the pastor say to
her or to him? Interdict Shakespeare,?
Then quote him, perhaps, the next Sunday!
No, surely. A friendly talk was bad with
the mother and the boy, making the im-
pression that Shakespeare was read by
nearly all the educated people, and that
neither bis nor any othlr works must super
sede God's word. It did its work, and 15
years later that mother and son weic intel
ligent tourists over the Eastern States. The
family had gained a competence in the
West. And such an attitude a minister
must take toward all literature that is not
positively vicious. He ranst teach others to
discriminate, commend and introduce the
good, and, it he has the gilts and tbe oppor
tunity, speak through it by his own pen."
A Soggeallve Incident.
A Western pastor relates the following
suggestive lnoident; When the late Dr.
Hodge was drawing near tbe close of his
life he spent two or three days at my house.
He discovered In my study a piece of furni
ture he greatly admired, and asked me to
buy for him, if I could, a duplicate. Upon
receiving it from my hand, he pulled out of
his pocket a purse ia order to reimburse me,
but there. was nothingin it. I playfully re
marked that his treasures were all laid up
in heaven. He bade me pause to see-if he
did not still have all he needed for the
earth. He soon found the change be was in
search, of, and handed it to me to pay lor
the furniture, saying: "I nave from boy
hood taken the precaution to have some
treasure at both ends of the journey." This
simple expression contains the sum and sub
stance of his masterly tomes on didactio
theology.
A SngifeitlTe Fact.
America is not alone in its growth. Since
1800 the population of Europe has just
doubled itself. Then the population was
175,000,000; in 1830, 216,000,000; in 1860,
280,000,000; in 1880, 331,000,000; in 1888,
350,000,000. The beginning of the twentieth
century will probably put the figures at
400,008,000. Indeed, the rapid increase of
population throughout the civilized globe
is a striking lact of modern times. It is
an eloquent proof of the development of
sanitary knowledge, and shows also that
with the improvements made of late it is
easier to get a living than it was of old.
Dancers of Overwork.
The deaths, in quick succession, in the
prime of life, of Bey. Drs. Hatch, Elmslie
and Macfayden, in Great Britain, are the
subject of general comment in English
journals. They are attributed to "overwork
and overworry," and no doubt with truth.
Each one, it is said, was doing the work of
three men. Tbe papers claim that as a
mere matter of finance it does not pay to
exhaust the physical power of snch men to
such a degree that when seized with disease
they have no power of resistance and fall an
easy prey. What is true in Great Britain
is true in the United States.
Aggressive Christianity.
Outside of the thousands of churches in
London there are 500 missionaries. Each
one of these calls on 600 families every
month. They visit the rum-holes and slums,
and are subjected to many dangers. Daring
the warm season, open-air meetings are held
each day and evening in the streets and
pnblic parks. Thus an active and
aggressive Christian propaganda is always
proceeding. Souls sea-sick with sin, or
stranded, are sought out and ministered
unto by these gospel life-savers. What a
gracious mission! How like "Him who "went
about doing good I" Why cannot something
equally apostolic be started in this city ? Is
there not need of it? Are there not workers
enough? '
Facta and Fancies.
It is stated that "in 1800 the Bible was
translated into the languages of one-fifth of
the population of the globe, and that now it
is translated into the language of nine
tenths." If the good book goes on tailing out
of use at this rate, by the end of the century It
will be translated info every known tongue.
This ratio of advance mast be very encourag
ing to unbelievers!
There is no help in mere negation. There is
no Gospel In the "everlasting no." William
JLf. Taylor.
Often there comes from the. pastor laid in
the grave a more persuaslvo and melting elo
quence man ever comes irom the pastor stand
ing in tbe pulpit. Deep, often, is tbe appeal
that comes from the grave, and spirit-stirring
the discourse which "he being dead yet speak
etb." John Cummxng.
Those are dead even for this life who hope
for no other. Lorenzo de Medici.
It is Impossible for the man to be brave who

aira. Bnlllnston Booth Tells" Why the Ttto
Dlnj Go Together.
New York Tribune
Mrs. Ballington Booth, wife of Marshal
Booth, who has charge of the Salvation
Army movement in this country, tells of
the work of the army in the slnms of New
York. On the platform, among the mem
bers ot tne organization, sac six young
women who are actively engaged in the
work, dressed in plain calico dresses and
gingham aprons.
Mrs. Booth's pleasant manner, her easy
flow of speech and the earnestness with
which she treated her subject won the
hearts of her audience, who listened atten
tively to her long talk. She narrated many
pathetic incidents which the workers bad
witnessed during their life of self-sacrifice
in the slums, and described the methods
which they employ. She said:
"Ton cannot hope to raise these people by
stooping down Irom a higher level; you
must go down and live with them. There
are quite as many possibilities for the future
in the degraded girl in the slums of this
great city as there are in the life of you or
me, and her soul may become just as pure
and jnst as beautifnl .as ours. These co
workers of mine on the platform have holes
in'their aprons not because they are too
lazy to mend them, but because they want
to be like tbe people among whom they live.
So effective has been their work tha't they
are now sent for at all times when assistance
is needed, and yet the people don't know
who and what tfiev are."
FREE PASSENGERS UN E0ARD.
Both Dlsenie nnd Creeping; Thloas In Ordl.
nary Street Cars.
Philadelphia Ledger.:
The attention of the Board of Health was
yesterday called to the placing of hay and
straw on the floors of street cars, in a letter,
asking if there was not an ordinance pro
hibiting this practice. The letter said: "The
Spruce and Pine Streets Passenger Bailway
line have their cars filled with hay, ill
smelling and dirty a convenient lodging
for all kinds of disease." He concludes:
"If anything can be done to mitigate this
nuisance, those compelled to use this line"
will be very thankful."
Dr. Keyser thought the action of the
board in this matter should also include the
consideration of the upholstered aud velvet
seats in some cars, which, he said, harbor
contagious troubles.
"That is not a nuisance," said Secretary
Hirst
'Anything is a nuisance that harbors con
tagious diseases," returned Dr. Keyser.
"Why, I have actually seen vermin in
those seats."
"We tried to break up the practice of put
ting bay and straw iu the cars," said Secre
tary Hirst, "and it was contended that we
would have to prove each particular car a
nuisance." No action was taken.

Not only have tbe English accommodat

thus providing low ireights for the rivers as
well as for the ocean, out they have also
established banks and banking agencies in

against merchandise. This financial system
is found in nearly all the leading cities of
South America.
There are bank' In London, Hamburg,

which, with their agencies in every popu

ready to carry accounts of 3, 6 or 13 months
and to cash drafts against cargoes going in

the greatest valne in developing trade, and
Americans, if tbey aim to compete in earnest

An Innocent Come to Grief Among the
Sharps of Cincinnati.
Cincinnati Tlmes-Star.k
Tbe following incident, which actually
occurred, shows the depth of verdancy which
is existent in some unfortunate individuals.
A native of a back county in Kentucky
came into the city on the 'Southern road a
few days ago to "see the sights" and to pur
chase one or two Christmas presents. He
hadn't been in the city more than half an
hour before he loaned a pleasant, well
dressed stranger $35 on the promise of the
latter to return with the amount as soon as
he cashed a check. The Kentucky man
waited patiently at Fourth and Central
avenue, but the stranger came not. In an
hour the man from the country became
slightly uneasy, in two hours he was actually"
suspicious, in three hours he was convinced
that he had been dnped. The $35 was all
the money he had. and he walked sadly back
to the Grand Central depot, where be re
lated his wrongs to Officer White. -The big
copper advised him to go home before some
one borrowed his pants.
"But I kyan't go home," said Kentuck.
"I ain't no money to go on. I'm dead
broke."
"Go up to tbe Mayor's office," advised a
sympathetic hackman; "maybe he'll give
you a free pass home if you sing him a nice
song;"
Kentnck looked doubtfully at his coun
selor, and meditated for' 10 minutes as he
walked up and down squirting tobacco
juice right and left.
"Blamed if I know what to dol" he re
marked at last.
"Better do as I said," repeated the hack
man. "Go up to tbe Mayor, sing him a
nice song about your trouble, and he'll fix
you up wid a pass."
Kqntuck again transfixed his adviser
with an eye of mistrust. Something was
troubling him besides his loss. At last,
with a heavy sigh and. an inimitable drawl,
he remarked: "Stranger, I kyan't sing."
WOHDEES OP HUMAN 3IECDANI5M.
Movements of Nerves and Mtneles la Play
ing a Piecs of Mntlc.
Popular Science monthly.
Science, says Sir James Paget, will sup
ply the natural man with wonders un
counted. The author had once heard Mile.
Janotha play a presto by Mendelssohn. She
played B.B95 notes in four minutes and three
seconds. Every one o'f these notes involved
certain movements of a finger, at least two,
and many of them involved an additional
movement laterally as well as those np and
down. They also involved repeated move
ments of the wrists, elbows and arms, al
together probably not less than one move
ment for each time.
Therefore there were three distinct move
ments for each note. As there were 24
notes per second, and each of these notes in
volved three distinct musical movements,
that amounted to 72 movements in each
second. Moreover, each of those notes was
determined by the will to a chosen place,
with a certain force at a certain time and
with a certain duration. Therefore there
were four distinct qualities in each of the 72
movements in each second. Such were" the
transmissions outward. And all those were
conditional on consciousness of the position
of each hand and each finger before it was
moved, and by moving it of tbe sound and
the force of each touch. Therefore, there
were, three conscious sensations to every
note.
There were 72 transmissions per second,
144 to and fro, and those with constant,
change of quality. And then, added to that,
all the time the memory was remembering
each note in its due time and place and was
exercised in the comparison of it with others
that came before. So that it would be fair
to say that there was not less than 200 trans
missions of nerve force to and from the brain
outward aud inward every second, and dur
ing the whole of that time judgment was
being exercised as to whether the music was
being played better or worse than before,
and the mind was conscious of some of the
motions which the music was intended to
inspire.
MONTANA FEMALE MINERS.

St. Lonls Republic. 1

Mrs. P. A. McAdow, of Maiden, who
heretofore has enjoyed the distinction ot
being the only woman in Montana engaged
personally in mining, will now have to
share that rather unique position with Mrs.
Dottie Lakel, of Castle, Meagher county.
Mrs. Lakel is a pioneer in the Castle moun
tain mining districts, and is tbe owner ot a
part interest in tbe Anna, Little Dot, Cum
berland No.2and Hidden Treasure mines, the
latter property being well developed. She is
a short, heavy-set woman, rngged in1 appear
ance, with a few silvery threads in her black
hair. She has seen the ups and downs of
miners' life, and dates her experience back
to the early days of California. She stopped
in Helena on her way back to New York,
where she goes in an endeavor to dispose of
some of her holdings.
In conversation with the Republic corre
spondent she showed thorough acquaint
ance with mines and their different forma
tions, as well as the way in which to de
velop them. She does her own assaying,
and is Superintendent of the properties in
which she is interested. She goes down
into a mine, and gives all the directions as
to the way in which she desire3 the work
done, telling her men to drift or cross-cut
for the lead, just as any male manager
would do.
She takes East with her a nnmber of sam
ples of ore from tbe Hidden Treasure, and
talked enthusiaistically of. the iutnre of
Castle district. She had prepared a map of
Castle district, showing all the locations
within four miles of the camp, and which is
a very neat piece of work, and would be a
credit to any surveyor. Her partners in
the Hidden Treasure have allowed her, she
says, to pay all the expenses of developing
the mine, and she is now going to try and
sell her interest in that claim, and use the
money to work some of her other claims.
UNROLLING A MOMMY.
A Process That Enquired Two Hoars ot
Dilleeat Labor.
London Telegraph.
At the Botanical Theater of University
College, Gower street, in the presence of a
large company ot professors, students and
tbe general public, an .Egyptian mummy,
from Upper Egypt, was unrolled by Mr. E.
A. Wallis Budge, of the British Mnenm,
who has had considerable experience in such
"spoiling of the Egyptians," and did. not
seem to shrink from tbe task of dissecting a
pos'sible subject of Cleopatra or one of the
Pharaohs. Though the process occupied
nearly two hours, it was watched intently
by the spectators, and when, disentangled
from the yard upon yard of swathing cloth
in which it bad been wrapped, the outline
of the figure appeared clearly, the Interest
increased. -
Bekk Ban. as Mr. Budge informed his
audience, could hardly have beeii s person
of high rank, as there was neither ring nor
scarabsus. The whole body had beeu en
cased in bitumen. Strangely eiougb, the
authorities of the college knov nothing as
to where the mnmmv came from, or who
placed it in the college museum. It was
possibly hard on the deceased Bekk and his
family when a young lady observed that the
only use to which mummies could possibly
be devoted was tbe development of tooth
powder.
