Plattsmouth, Nebraska LUMBER Mytha of Ancient Mariners. , Sailors' yarns have always Leen cele brated for their imaginative character. Th'.e f today, however, have no oppor tunity for f ivor.ible comparison with the stories r7l,l by luuiinors o antiquity. The latter were able to '.count upon an .iriejhaiwtiliy,viulilic...cre(ljilityt notlan which they could poKsibly invent being too monstrous or unusual for belief. Their tales presumably did much to augment the fe;irs of the sea which were commonly entertained in those days, giving birth to many of the myths of ocean. They told alout the strange land inhahitated by lotos eaters, who fed upon the fruit of forgetfuluess and lost all memory of country and friends. Iley- ond was the terrible land of the one eyed giants, called Cyclops, they said, while elsewhere ware to Ixj found the 6trange islands where the enchantresses Circe ami Calypso Jived. These islands were in the narrow western Mediterranean, and beyond was the Cimmerian land, where the people lived in darkness al ways, inhabiting gloomy caves, There were the Sirens also, whose song was death. They were condemned to die when a man should pass them with out stopping. Ulysses accomplished this by putting wax in his ears. So they were changed into rocks of Sorrento, where they f till exist a terror to mari ners. The Sirens t3'pify the surf, whose harmonious murmurs are often the death music of the sailor. lu like manner the a " -" - 'J - - - -...v.. u . W .........

Not less to le feared were the dreadfid Symplegades huge moving rocks which were fabled to crush ships passing be tween them. It has leen 6urmised that the tradition respecting these rocks was derived from the floating icebergs, which during the glacial peri oil must have issued from the Black sea; but this seems hardly likelj. Washington Star. A Wonderful Battler. I once knew an old nnreconstructed Confederate in Arkansas who had a colony of rattlesnakes that were trained to play 'Dixie' with their rattles to his intense edification," said Colonel J. S. Evans, of Meridian, Miss. " l he man belonged to my regiment dnring the war, and he had a rattle snake that followed him all through the Louisiana campaign like a faithfnl dog. He lidn"t join the army until near the close of the trouble, and he brought his snake with him. When the reptile got tired on the march her master would coil her around his neck and trudge along with his pet until camp was struck. At night he put the snake in a circle formed with a hair rope, so as to keep her from crawling around to the dread of other soldiers. During battle that snake would dart in and out be tween the ranks of the fighting men un til she found her master, when she would stick her tail straight into the air and rattle off the first few bars of 'Dixie' with pronounced distinctness and the most ecstatic delight. Her master had of course taught her to do it. "After the war he took his snake back to the Arkansas farm, and in a little while her progenj- was wonderful. When I went to see him fifteen years ago his barnyard was given over to rattlesnakes, and on a signr.1 from him, by ringing a bell, the reptiles would dash to the cen ter of the j-ard, and the clang of 'Dixie' that the swift movements of their tails produced was as deafening as it was in spiring." St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Guillotine and Its Inventor. One of the most widely disseminated of popular errors is that Dr. Guillotin invented the grim machine which still bears his name. The real inventor of this sinister contrivance was Dr. Louis, a wen Known medical man and perma nent secretary of the Parisian School of Medicine, or Acadeniie de Medicine. Dr. Guillotin, who died in 1814, ener getically but vainly protested against the use of his name in connection with this disagreeable subject an evidence, if one were wanted, of the great diffi culty there is of correcting a popular error, heedless to say that the legend that Dr. Guillotin was among the vic tims of his friend's ingenious and merci ful instrument of destruction is wholly apocryphal. He died at a good old age, and in his bed, surrounded by his chil dren who, however, obtained permission to change their name. London Satur day Iteview. The Difllealty with Chinese. The difficulty of a foreigner learning the Chinese language may be inferred from the statement of an English trav eler. Tie ami his companion, previons to starting for China, had supplied them selves witn a Chinese grammar. In a day or two the discovery was made that the single letter i had 14.3 ways of being pronounced, and that each pronuncia tion had an entirely different meaning. Then it dawned upon them that there was no poetry about the Chinese lan guage, that it was not worth learning and their grammar was secretly con signed to the river mud by being drop ped overboard. Yankee Blade. Waiters Who Io Very Well. Waiters in some of the more expen sive restaurants, where they work all day, get as much as forty dollars a month. It is a very old statement that their in comes much exceeds those of the best paid clerks and bookkeepers, but they earn them. That is, most of them do. Girls who work as waiters in the cheap luncheon places get six dollars a week and their meals. They fare better than typewriters, school teachers or seam itresses. New York Herald. For Kffeet.

"It Take a Woman to Scheme," fch Said, an She llewrd lflm Snore. When Fitzboodle came home that night he sunk into a chair and said: "Maria, liiave lost my job." "Is it jtosfiljleV" exclaimed the woman. "It isMaria, and with only ten dol lars in cash things look pretty black." "Yes," said the woman vaguely. "It is the ten dollars I gave you this morning, Maria; you know I told you at the time it was all I had in the world. You are so good to me, Maria; you keep my money so well." "Yes," she said feebly. "i reel dreadful," he went on. "Do you know, as I passed the grocer's he glared at me like mad. We owe him al: a. i i i . mineen uouars, ana nave promised to 6ettle eleven times now." "Oh, that's all right," said the woman, brightening. "Why, when I was in 4"V. . r , t i i -1 -. "cio uiou ciock ne smiieu ana was so pleasant sugar wouldn't melt in his mouth. He told me to order a big bill of goods at any time." You are crazy, Maria! And then the doctor. Why, I ran plump into him as I turned the corner; he shot me a savage iook as much as to say, 'Humph, I think it is about time you cashed up!' Maria, 1 am a ruined man! Jii no, Charlie. Why, when I met the doctor on the avenue at 3 o'clock he bowed like a prince and came over and shook my hand and said I never looked more charming in my life.

How he snapped his teeth as I passed him in the hall leading to this flat only a few moments ago." "Why, if you mean dear Mr. Trotter, the owner of the property, why, my dear fellow, he is as sweet and good as you could wish. Why, this afternoon he came in and said he would get us new curtains, fix up the cellar, repaper the halls and fix the plumbing in the kitchen. We can hold him off half the summer, I believe." " on are clean crazy, woman! I never heard of such a thing. Give me that ten dollars till I go down and give half to the grocer and hair' "I I haven't it!" "What?" "I I spent it." "Spent it? How dare you? And the last money I had in this world." "Oh, cheer up, Charlie. I took the ten dollars and bought that lovely new uat you promised me. L wore it out on the avenue all afternoon. Everj-body who saw me said: 'My stars! why, old Fitzboodle must be making lots of "cash. for if there isn't his wife all togged out in the latest millinery, with gloves to match!' The effect was like a charm. y-n t i wiiame. i Knew you nad lost vour place, and 1 did it as an act of policy. When I called on the tradespeople they all acted the same as the people on the avenue. Now go to bed, dear, and never again say I do not know all about po litical economy! "!N ever," he said, falling into her arms. "Oh, it takes a woman to scheme!" 6he ejaculated, as she heard him snoring half an hour later. New York Recorder. A Strange Animal. A useful South American animal is the kinkajou, which, as the dictionary will tell you, is a procyoniform quad- j. i j -i . . rupeu wim a protrusue tongue ana a prehensile tail. Under ordinary circum stances if you were to meet a kinkajou in the street you would look for an Ital ian with a hand organ, though I should be inclined to look for a policeman, be cause I know how unpleasant the ani mal can be, particularly in the fruit season, for the kinkajou loves fruit and eats all he can find. The chief reason for asserting that the kinkajou is useful is that in addition to his fondness for fruit he has a great liking for insects for lunch, and when tamed is a valuable assistance in southern homes, where fly paper is unknown and where a mosquito net is more expensive than a silk dress. It has always seemed strange to me that some enterprising person has not imported a few thousand of these insect eaters from South America for use in North American summer hotels. Tbey could not cost more than $100 a dozen, and many people would rather pay that amount than spend the night with a swarm oi mosquitoes and unprovided with means of defense against them. Harper's Young People. A Competent Teacher. The London Times once contained an advertisement for an assistant "capable of teaching the classics as far as Homer and Virgil." Among the answers re ceived was this delightful specimen: 'Sir With reference to the advertise ment which was inserted in The Times newspaper a few days since respecting a school assistant, I beg to state that I should be happy to fill that situation: but as most of my friends reside in Lon don, and not knowing how far Homer and Virgil is from town, I beg to state that I should not like to engage to teach the classics farther than Hammersmith or Turnham Green, or at the very ut most distance farther than Brentford. Awaiting your reply, I am sir, etc." The Highland Pipers. The Highland pipers have always been noted for bravery in action. At Porto Novo the Seventy-first's piper played with such good will that Sir Eyre Coote called out, "Well done, my brave fel low j you sliall have a pair of silver pipes for this!" At Vimiero a pijer unable to walk coolly sat down and played, "Up and war them a', Willie," for which th6 Highland society afterward presented him with a set of pipes.
