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

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 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

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.

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.

you know, as I passed the grocer's he
glared at me like mad. We owe him

You are crazy, Maria! And then the

I turned the corner; he shot me a savage

it is about time you cashed up!' Maria,

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. I am sure
we can stand him off another three
months."

to this flat only a few moments ago."
"Why, if you mean dear Mr. Trotter,

dear fellow, he is as sweet and good as
you could wish. Why, this afternoon
he came in and said he would get us

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. Cornhill Maga
