Aycry remsrkablo fact concerning 'Chinese folk-lore is the strange simi larity between Cbineso myths and atones and those of Western Europe. Here is a tale tho analogue of which is found almost everywhere in Western folk-lore. The Seven Sleepers of Ephesus, the' media; val romance of, Ogier le Danois, and the old Gaelic le gend on which that romance is based, of Oisin's sojourn in tho land of youth, are a few of tho many forms which it takes in the West. The Chinese story -"f is 'as follows: "Two -friends wander among the mountains culling simples. - At a fairy bridge, the azure bridge, they 'iind on guard two maidens of more than earthly beauty. Comc across the bridge,' cry the maidens. This done, the friends are fed on huma (hemp, the Chinese hasheesh), and falling deeply " in love with their hostesses, spend with them, in the Jasper City what seems the ishort though blissftil period of a few days. At length Uiey are seized with a desire to. Visit their earthly home, and . on getting back they' lind that .seven generations have passed, and they have , become more than centenarians.1' The tbty is given in tho Liao chai chih yi, -. ..with the -date A. D. 60 to 70, and. the K "nanles-of tho two friends! . "'. ,v Anpther equally circumstantial tale , jrecords- Jlow Wang Chih, one of. the patriarcbjfcRf the Taouist sqct, vas one; day gathering tire-wood in tho moun ' tains of Ku Cliow, when he entered a grotto where some old men were deep in a garae-.of chess. He laid down his ax and watched them; whereupon one of the old men handed him what looked like a date-stone, telling him to put it in his mouth. No sooner had be tasted it than ho ceased to feel hunger .and . . . thirst. By-and-byone of tho players said, "It is lous since j'ou came here; you should go home now." Wang -, . ' Chih went to take-up his ax, and found the handle Jiad moldcred into dust. "Undismayed, however, ho went home, but found that centuries had passed sinco he went, out wood-cutting. No vestige of his kinsfolk remained. The end of IJiis tale is certainly un-Euro-pean; for Wang Chih retreats to a cell . ,.;ir the mountain, aruLcle voting himself torclmous exercise, finally attains im yiglOoJtauty. ?, Sometimes the mischievous fairy is almost identified with one of the mon key tribe. Thus a man with a very pretty-wife, "traveling- near .Cltaag-tih, was 'warned that hard by lived a shen who was given to woman-stealing. He hid his wife in an inner room; but in tile fourth watch of the second night she, was carried off. Ho sought her high and low, his romantic and perilous adventtfrcs being described in " The History of the White Monkey," by -Kung Tsing. At last he came to a : stone door in the face of a mountain. - Some women, who were passing in and out, told him his wife was there. " Get us,1' said they, " ten dogs, two barrels of- spirits and a quantity of hempen r' rope, and we will try to deliver her for i you. After all these .things Jiad been provided the shen came in, and drankl the spirits and ate the dogs,, and while he was gorged and helpless tho women .'"bound him to the bed. They called in the husband, who found that he was an enormous monkey. He straightway killed him, and set free, not his own . wife only, bnt many other women who --were held in captivity. Talking of f ionkeys,.wo may remark that they, as 'well as men, are supposed to have f hosts. A .man in Canton, named Ling, ad had a yuan monkey fh his family forty years. This species is supposed to grow to a very large size if it is al 'lowed to drink plenty of water; and as ., Xing preferred a small monkey, his pet; . was kept on short .water- .allowance.

A few years ago the following was gravely related in the Pckin GazclU; "When the Mohammedans were besiegimr Cbannweit they suddenly halted and run away. Tho face was, they had ap proached tho temple of Ta-ppch (god of the planet Venus), and there they saw an awful vision:. gisV- in golden .mail, nuMcrotu as forest trees, and armed with sword and shield, were drawn up in battle array along the cftv wall, and red lamps innumerable lighted them up.

"When the bell lower of I'ekln was Duut," says air. Sten, in a paper on Chinese legends. " the Emperor Yunir-lo, of the Ming dynasty, ordered a great Mandarin, named Kuan-vu, to cast a -bell big enough for 'snob s. aoble building. Time after time JCuan-yu and the clev erest workmen in the country tried to cast a bell, and failed; the casting was always honey-combed, and tho Empe ror said that if thero was one more fail ure, Kuan-yu's head should pay the forfeit. Now, Kuan-yu had a daughter, a lovely girl of sixteen, named Ko-ai; and when she learned what was to be done, she went to a celebrateol astrolo ger and asked the eanso of her father's failure! Some demon, she was told, re quired a maiden's blood to be mixed with tho metal, and, unless' this was done, tho next casting would be a fail ure like the others. Ko-ai at once took her resolution. She got leave from her father to be present at the casting; and amid tho dead silence which prevailed when the taps were drawn and the molten stream poured down into the mold, a shriek was heard, and crying out, For my father,' Ko-ai threw her self headlong into the seething metal. One of tho workmen triod to seize her, but only succeeded in getting hold of a shoe, which came off in his hand. The father had to be held back by force from following Ko-ai's example. Ho was taken home a raving madman; but the bell was perfect in make and toue, and when struck, its sonorous boom is to this day followed by a low, wailing sound lik'e tho Avail of a woman in ag ony, and when people hear it they say, 'There's poor Ko-ai calling for her shoe.' " Whero did those talcs come from which wc call the Arabian" -Nights? Some of them, wef know, tell us about Chinese Emperors and Princesscs Badroulboudour, to wit. Of others, Chinese legends givo'us. other forms. Thus "Open Sesame" finds its parallel in tho story of a cave near which lived a poor young herdsman, who bore tho tint: iimiciinl nn mo nf fMifinrr. OnIV- as he was passing, ho heard a voice say, Stnno. door, nnnn: Mr. Kwei-ku is Stone door, open; Mr. Kwei-ku is coming." The cave opened, and the invisiblo speaker entered; and by-and-by the samo voice said, "Stone door, shut; Mr. Kwei-ku is going." Where upon the cave closed so that no one could see where the entrance had been. Chang at once detennined to see what was inside; so, one day, taking care that Mr. Kwei-ku was gone out, ho used the formula, and at once gained an en trance. Chinese legends are often un practical, so we need not wonder that there is no hint of any treasure inside. It was simply a vast romantic cavern. He came out, shut the door by using tho proper form of words, and then tola his only living relative, his. grandmother. She must needs see.it too; but, wander ing inside, they' got separated, and Chang, fancying she had leftfirst, came out and closed the cave's mouth. Not finding her at home, he rushed back, horror-stricken, to seek her; but now all his efforts to obtain an entrance failed. The magic words had lost their power; and he felt that his grandmother must be either starved to death or de voured by Mr. Kwei-ku. Just then this Tlreaded-personage appeared to him, and told nim that tho fates bad taken His grandmother; thq cave demanded a victim. Let him marry and take com fort in the thought that his" children "would have power over demons. And so it was; Chang s son became the mas ter of heaven," the first holder (A. D. 25 is about the date assigned to the story) of an oulco which has lasted on to the present day. Stories of magic -tombs are found among most peoples, nor are they want ing in China. Kungming was a sort ol Chinese Michael Scott; and one day the Emperor Hung-wu and his chief coun cillor, passing near his tomb, were seized with awish to visit it. The Em peror and his courtier wore suits of iron mail, after the fashion of those days; so, breaking through into the ante chamber, they read an inscription that whoever visited ihe tomb should have his hands tied a prophecy fulfilled'by their hands getting for some time fast wedged into the passage through which they squeezed themselves. Breaking through the second door, they found several figures, toward which they be gan to bo attracted by an irresistible Force! Full of terror, .they flung ofl their armor and fled, notingas they ran out another inscription, which may be rendered thus: " I'll 6trip off tho skin ' Of whoo ventures In To open this my grave." Of course the figures were of loadstoue, which in the legend, ol medimvnl Eu rope, as.we'l as in the Arabian Nights and in Chinese stories, was credited with very, mysterious powers. When Confucius ud, one of his disciples cased his camb in loadstone; and thus tint Emperor Chin was baffled in his at tempt to open the sages tomb the workmen's pickaxes and spades lost their heads, the armor of the soldiers on guard was 'stripped off. their bodies; altogether 1 Kings took -such a strange turn that the attempt was given up. Even the judgm.c.nt'Of Solomon finds its parallel in Cninaonly the mandarin who plays Solomon orders that the child shall be taken away from both women, and brought up as a Govem jaentrofficiall He judges that the real mother will eagerly accept so good a -chance for her. offspring, while the woman who. enly -wanted to sell the, babe, or-to use'tt.in begging, trill, olamorfor ate restoration. -He there fore hafilsftbie little: one to the -claimant who,, though; with tears and sobs, jhad'accepted Jus proposal.

One occurs to me now, which made crno milu aloud. " Fancy the following read gravely, as though it were a complete sentence: Illrds ia their little mt arrce And 'tltathitmcfui tight! Bat on the same day, when we attended the service in the chapel, it was still worse. The old gardener having to read out the lines: God is Ills own Interpreter, Aad Ho will make R plain. read tho first line: Ood Is Ills own Inlrumpettrt . Sometimes even in the Established 1 Church, the ignorance of tho rclerk" gave rise to amusing contretemps. I remember an old man who was clerk at St. Mary's at Leicester, forty years ago. ' vorite hymn of the vicar, " was tfoc well-known one who alwas bogglea at one wora in a ia- The hymn i we've no abiding city here I j one 0f tj,e verses commences thus: Wo'ro no nbidinir city here. This may distress tho worldling' mind. That word tcorldlinq was indeed pons asinonim for the poor old clerk. and tlio couffrc'iration were all in a tit ter when ho cameto it. "This ma-ay distress the wor-rul wor-rul wor-ruld wor-ruldin' moind," was generally about what he made of it. and the or ganist, tho clever Mrs. Wood, always played the organ its very loudest at that line, to drown the tittering of tho congregation. Tho greatest liascoes, however, arose from the selections of inappropriate tunes. One in which the words" "And bow before the throne," were rendered thus: And bow-wow-wow, wow-wow-wow-wow-wow wow. And bow-wow-wow before the throne. I have been looking through some letters lately, and am ablo now to givo a few more specimens. Thero is a hymn I forget in what collection in which the line "With Thy benediction seal" occurs. I have a memorandum that this hymn was sung at a chapel in Cheshire, to the tune of "Aaron, 7s," and this is how tho above line camo in the music: With Thy bonny With Thy benny With Thy benediction seai Another favorite tuno in those days was called "Job," which was made to do duty for all sortt of "long meter" hymns. Two singular specimens of its inappropriateuess nrc appended. The line in one was, "Stir up this stupid heart to pray," and this was. the way it was sung: Stir up this Ptew Stir up this stcwpld heart, etc The other was" And love Thee better than before" -which was sung And love Thee bet And love Theo better, than, etc. There is a tune Miles' Lane" in which, when sung to its own hymn, "Crown Him Lord of all," the repeti tion of the words "Crown Him" has a very fine effect. .Unfortunately in the days I am speaking of the people in charge of the singing thought more of the music they had to sing than of the words, and the following three exam ples show how "Miles' Lane" was made ludicrous. In Dr. Watts' collec tion the hymn 32 ;in the secoud book concludes "And see salvation nigh." "Miles' Lane" made it thus And see sal see sal see salvation nigh. The hymn 104, first book, samo col lection, has tho lines Wo would defile cur hearts no more, No more pollute our hands. The last line being sung to " Miles' Lane" became No more poll more poll more pollute out hands.. 1 The 12Cth hymn, second book of Dr.- Watts, has Gilds the wholo scene with brighter rays. And mure exults our Joys. "Miles' Lano" translated the final line into And more eggs moro eggs more exalt our Joys. There is anothcrtune called ' Boyce," of which I will give an example from No 17 hymn, in Dr. Raffles' Liverpool collection, and the line is "And learn to kiss the rod." " Boyce" makes this And learn to kiss And learn to kis And lcatn to kls the rod. Bradford (Eng.) Observer. A Stray Billet-Doix, Three ministers sat in tho pulpit of an East Liberty church on Sunday evening. A rising young artist who has a comfortable studio if studios are ever comfortablo on a street running from Water to Liberty who is one of the workers in said chuich, walked bravely to the pulpit before service and gave one of the ministers a notice to read before benediction. The services were about1 being closed, when the young artist again went forward and reminded the minister that ho must not forget the notice of the temperance meeting down town. Tho minister beggedpardon for his remissness, took the slip of paper from his vest pocket, read it, looked dazed, rubbed his eyes, then smiled. He passed the note to a brother minister. He smiled. Then passed it to the other minister, and he smiled. Then all smiled. Then No. 1 remarked that he would like to speak to the young artist. The latter advanced to the pulpit, received the notice, looked at it, colored very red. and looked as though he would like to jump through the window. He had given the pastor a notice of a temperance meeting which read something like this: Dear John I am so sorry I can't let you come to see me as frequently as usual, but papa and mamma think I 6hould not receive even my "very dear friends during the Lenten season. It's awfully disagreeable, if not positively cruel; but then you know we Episco-palians-can't go back ou Lent. 1 shall see you oftener than usual, I hope, when the holy season is gone where the woodbine twineth.

Kc The, Gem Puzzle assy fairly- he M to have gained a popularity that hi phenomenaL Beginning ia Boston .a few months ago. it has becorse hterallr an epidemic, and U raging from the Atlantic to the Pacific No child too puerile to be beneath its entertaining powers, and no man is too vigorous or in too high station to escajKs in fascina tion. At first he lovks on it with con tempt, and thinks it unworthy bis at tention; but let him hesitate, eye It. and push a few blocks around, and ho Is lost. Whole cities are distracted, and men are losing sleep and going crazv over it: and if this state of af fairs" continues loug the public mental condition will be seriously deteriorated. The Inter0am is therefore perform ing a great general good in telling the whole truth about the thing, what can be done with it, what cannot, and why it cannot, so as to put a stop to the haggard anxiety of the spcil-bouad victims who cannot U?t it alone. As is well known to nearly every one by this time, the puzzle "consists of fifteen blocks of wood, set iii a small box just large enough to hold sixteen blocks. The blocks may be three fourths of an inch square, "and the box three inches square and half an inch deep. When the fifteen blocks are in, there is one vacant space remaining. The blocks are each given a number, from one to fifteen inclusive, and are put into the box at raudoni. The puz zle consists in getting them in consecu tive order bv pushing them around, anil without iffting them from tho box. When the puzzle is solved, the blocks will stand as ahown in the following diagiuu xo. 1: aa vm- 1 s t 6 6 7 1 9 10 11 13 13 14 5 The first three rows are easily ob tained. The trouble begins when the last row is reached. The number of combinations possible is equal to the continued product of all the numbers from 1 to 15 inclusive, that is 1,.'07, 571,308,000, of which one-half can bo solved, and the other cannot. The so lution is determined by tho way in which the blocks are first placed in the box, and tho chances are just equally divided that the player will strike a solvable or an unsolvable combination. It is as if the bottom of the box were divided into squares to correspond with tho size of the blocks, and one-half the squares were colored as on a checker boardand in putting the blocks in at landom the player should place on black squares blocks which should go on white squares, and on wlrite squares some blocks which should go on black squares; if the number of these mis placements were odd the puzzle cottld not be solved, for the reason that at the end there would still be one uncorrected, and the player could not reverse it without reversing some ether ono to get it around. The number of permutations given above is possible when the four rows are used. In three rows the number is 39,91G,800, m two rows 5,010,and in tho last row, which containsbut three blocks, the number is six. When tho blocks in tho last row are Nos. 13, 14 and 15 the positions which they may assume is shown in the following table or counixATioss: Xo. 1, 1. 14 13. Xo. 2, 15-13 It. Xo. 3, It 13-15. Xo. 4, It 15-IX Xo. 5, 131511. No. 6, 13-1415. The last is of course tho solution of the other five, and tho player In tho end is therefore reduced to the problem of solving five, combinations. Now, of these tivc, Nos. 2 and 4 can be solved and Nos. 1, 3 and 5 cannot be. Any one of the last three can, however, be changed into cither of the remaining two, and the moves by which Nos. 2 and 4 are solved, and by which Nos. 1, 3 and 5 are interchanged, are the same. To show how this is, let the player di vide the bottom of his box into sixteen squares, and number them from 1 to 1G, inclusive. As the first three rows are easily obtained, it will be assumed that Aey are in order, and tho beginning will be made from the desired combina tion in the lower row.

Ttie difficulty is there fore simply transferred from one part of the board to another, and is not re moved. For which re.-ason It is Impossi ble to solve any of the combinations Nos. 1, 3 and 5. The principle is the same on the checker-board, whore three men try to pen two, and are always one move too late, or are always lacking another man to stop just the right square. The claim has been made by some that the puzzle would be solved with round blocks, but not with souare. This is an error. What they call a solution is none. The way it is done Is this : Supfoe the combination 13, 15, 14 to be in the bottom row the blocks can readily be arranged in this order: IUAC.UAM .HO. 4. 4 8 12 3 7 11 15 2 0 10 14 1 5 9 13 Now, if tho blocks arc round, each one can be turned one-fourth tho way around making the top of each block move to the left and the box can be turned one-fourth the way round to the right, and the numbers will appear as the do in diagram No. 1 above. But this is evidently not the original puzzle, which"was to have tho box stationary, and to have the blocks move only in straight lines. Very often, too. play ers obtain the solution apparently, bo causo in moving the round blocks about tho six becomes substituted for tho nine, and the number of moves is chanced from an oven to an odd one. In all cases, if the moves necessary aro an otld number, the solution is possible, and if an even number it Is impossible. Various other devices have been called solutions, aud as this: uiaqhau no. 5. 1 J 3 4 5 8 7 8-9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Or this: DtAOUAM NO. 0. 12 3 4 5 0 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 It 15 Or this: UiAcnax no 7. 13 9 5 1 It 10 6 2 15 11 7 8 12 8 4 But a captious and unfeeling public has not taken kindly to these, looking oa them more as evasions than as solu tions, and ridiculing their defenders. By taking the sixteen blocks a magic square may be made, in which every column, whether perpendicular, hori zontal, or ' diagonal it must be a straight line, however when added up will foot 31. This is obtained by mak ing the 15 change place with the 2, the 14 with the 3, the 12 with the 5, and the 8 with the 0.

Light In the Hump. The eminent Knglish writer. Dr. Kichnrdsou, produces in one of our con temporaries, nn article called "llcaltn at Home," which Is replctu with wis dom. A most important point, ami one on which he dwells. U the fact that so many people are afraid of tho light. "u 44 la n ilurlr ttttil fwl t iratt ilfjk 'Sttl tlitl.il - - - -. can soo tho dirt that pollute it, Dirl tu u.ii iw .hiu tiwmi i uwuii. j wu v vi accumulate on dirt, and tho mind soon learns to apologize for this condition because tho irloom conceals it," Ac K': cording v. when a house is dark and uiugy, me air uauuiua inipiuv, mt imij on account of tho nbsenee of light, but from the Impurities which arc accumu lated. Now. as Dr. Richardson cleverly puts it, we place llowersmourwindpws that they may have the light. If thil be tho case, why should we deprive ourselves of the sunshine and expect to gain health and vigor? Light, and plenty of it. Is not only a purifier ol things inanimate, but it absolutely stim ulates our brains. It is in regard tc sick rooms that this excellent authority Is particularly impressive. It used to be tho habit of physicians in old times to sedulously darken the rooms, and this practice continues to some extent even to-day. In certain very acute cases of nervous diseases, where light, the least ray of it, dinlurbs in over ex citing the visual organs, this darkening of the room may be permitted, but or dinarily to keep light out of the room U to deprive the patient of one of the vital forces. Children or old people con demned to live in darkness are pale and wan, exactly like thoso plants which, deprived of" light, grow whhe. Dark ness in the daytime undoubtedly makes the blood flow less strongly and checks tho beating of the heart, aud thc.o con ditions are precisely such as bring con stitutional suffering and disease. The suppression of the light of day actually increases thoso contagious maladiet which feed on uncleanliness. Dr. Kich ardson states: "I once found by ex periment that certain organic poisons, analogous to the poisons which propa gate theso diseases, aro rendered innoc uous by exposure to light."
