A FEW SUPERSTITIONS. oiue or the Charms" Formerly Used to Prevent SIcknesi. ' To allay hemorrhage, n toad, well dried in the son iaud put into a bag, was bang round the neck by a string sufficiently low to touch the region of the heart; and a preparation of garlic and honey smeared on the person was said to act as a charm against the bites of dogs and teptiles, or the sting of nnmerons insects, likewise ef fecting their care. Toothache could be charmed away by a few leaves of the "shepherd's parse," placed in the solo of the shoe on the reverse side of the body to that in which the tooth was aching. An excellent recipe for weak or sore eyes was the expressed juice of the calyx of the red honeysuckle; provided always that the flowers were gathered kneeling, repeaticq nine paternosters in honor of the trinity, nine more "to greet Oar Lodye," and a creed, ltest and sleep were required after application. Another 'prescription for the eyes much in favor with Anglo-Saxons was a paste of the strawbery plant and pepper, diluted with sweet wine. Children were passed through the split stem of a tree for the cure of the riekots, but the fracture must be afterwards bound up sufficiently tight to insure cohesion. For ague a very well salted herring, split open, was applied, us hot as possible, to the soles of the feet. It might be also mitigated by the habitual wearing round the neck of an emerald a gem equally potent in epilepsy. Precious stones were accredited wiih marvelous powers over the moral qualities and affec tions, as well as physical disease hence the origin of their beiug set in rings and worn. The teeth of old age were fied firmly in the gams by an infusion ot powdered jet; while water in which the beryl had been steeped afforded a valuable wash for strengthening the eyes, besides insuring the mutual love of a weeded couple. Hospital. TheUreen Cheese Theory Repudiated. Apropos of Matthew Arnold, it seems that his son Slat had very decided opinions. One night the boy heard some one say that the moon was made of green cheese. Very quickly he said: "I don't believe the moon is made of green cheese." "Don't von?" said his falhei. "Why notV" "Ob." said the young gentleman, "I don't know why, but I don't." -Well, for my part," said the father,"! have no respect for persons who give opin ions for which they can give no reasons." Young Mat was very much mortihed and went off by himself to hide his feelings. The next morning, as bright as possible, he greeted his father with this: "I kuow now why the moon is not made of green cheese. I found it out in Gen esis." "Ah," said Matthew Arnold, sr., "you have the advantage of me. I did not know the subject was mentioned in Genesis." "O, yes, papa," said the boy, "there is on account of the creation, and the moon was made before there were any cows." So Matthew the younger triumphed over Matthew the elder.

I1Y AN ENGLISH DETECTIVE. Yes, sir, I call it my first case, be cause it was the first of any importance in -which I was engaged, and because, thanks to the happy chance of which I am going to tell you, it gave me a start in my career which I have never iost. It was one morning several winters ago when a diamond merchant who had reported a loss of diamonds worth $20, 000. Further than that the house was in Soho, I need not give any particulars of this gentleman's name or addre3s. I was then very young to be entrusted with so important a case, but we wero busy at the time, and my chief was kind enough to express his faith in my ability. I had not been ten minutes in the house before I saw that I had before me a task of no little difficulty. The room in which I stood was oblong in shape. One end was occupied by a large win dow looking on the .street. Standing with your back to the window, on the right hand side, was a fireplace, on the left the door; between them stood a large square table; above which was the chandelier with four oi five lights. Against the right hand wall some little distance from the fireplace stood a large safe facing into the room. Save one or two chairs there was no other furniture in the room. It was from the safe that the diamonds in question had been stolen. But there was the puzzle the safe had been drilled open, a work which must have taken at least an hour and a half, and the room remained all night with the blinds drawn np aud the gas lighted, in full view of the passers-by in the street and of the policeman on the beat, who passed every half hour. There were two keys of the safe one in the possession of Mr. and the other belonging to his son. The custom was that the old gentleman left the office first and went home to his place at Dnlwich, the two clerks, left at G o'clock, and the son was usually the last to leave, locking the sufe and see ing that all was left in security. The 'other rooms in the house were let out as offices, but all the tenants left before 5 o'clock, and when Mr. 's office was locked up the only occupants of the house wero tho caretaker and his wife, who lived in the attic. The robbery had been discovered by Mr. on his arrival first at the of fice on the morning in question. He had been followed by his clerks and his son in the order named, and I found all four present when I reached the house. On making inquiries I found that Mr. himself had locked the safe on the previous evening. The clerks had gone as usual at C, and Mr. , hav ing had to remain later than usual, saw everything clear before his departure. He and his son left together, the father going home and the son going to dine with a friend, with whom he went to the theater and at whose house he slept. The housekeeper had twopt and cleaned the offices as usual and had finished work by 8 o'clock, at which hour she and her husband went up stairs to their own rooms at the top of the house. They did not come down again that night aud heard no noise. I felt little difficulty as to the en trance or exit of the thief. He might have entered the house at any time on the previous afternoon and, as there was more than one unoccupied room in the house, have lain perdu till it was time to commence operations; and, as I found a window at the back of the house unfastened. I corn-tailed he had made good his escape through the yard and by way of a low w all into an ad joining court. But how had he been able to worl: so long without attracting attentidh from any one? The street was not a busy thoroughfare, but there must have been some wayfarer, despite the fact that the night had been au inclem ent one, and, a3 1 have said, a police man passed every half hour. I made a careful inspection of the room, but found nothiug save a broken piece of amber from the mouthpiece of a pipe. On looking at the walls I noticed at op posite sides of the room, high up near the cornice, two marks, as thongii nails had been torn out of the plaster, but on pointing tuese otu to -ui. could give me no information. he He had never noticed them before, but they might be old marks for all he knew. I then pioceeded to make iuquries: first a to the whereabouts of the clerks on the night in quetiu. Mr. had told me he h.ul no suspicions as to their integrity, bn, of course it was my bnsi-ne-s to make sun-, and I found they weit- ab!c to accmut for their time quite j h.ilifactoiiiy. The policeman who had been on duty ct:iid not help me. He had passed each half-hour but had seen nothing suspicions. A number of per sons had i aa-ed up and dowuthe street, but he had only recognized one man, a chemist, v.h' lived on an adjoining btieet. Application to this gentleman eHciteo nothing further. Ha had passed down the --tree: between 10 and 12 on his waj hou;e aud hid looked at the lighted wiadjw a twul but there was certainly no on ii th" window theu. I returned to l!-il:n?r:e-i to ma'te my prelimiua'-y re ,t 1 directed that careful iu.tui U mV. -vitii a ue to identifying, if possible, any persons who were in the street throughout Ihe night Well, sir, for two days t was at my wit's fend. All our endeavors proved fruit less and the more I turned the matter over the more hopeless I felt. On the third day I was passing through B street and looked in to see my brother, who was laid np through an accident. He lodged in rooms over the shop of a house and sign painter, who had a small but a fairly prosperous business. On leaving him I came down to the shop to give some instructions to his landlord and whilst I was talking to the latter he was called away for a few minutes. Amusing myself by looking about me, my eyes were attracted by the rough sketch of a safe which was lying on the couuter. Although my head was full of safes, as you may suppose, I doubt if I should have looked twice at this one. had it not been that the sketch was an exact copy of the safe in which I was so much interested, and which, I should have explained, was of peculiar appearance in that it was much narrower in propor tion to its height than is customary. On the painter's return 1 held up the sketch and asked him if he had gone in for a new line of business. "Well, ye3, sir," ho said, Iaughling. ''That's a sketch I used in my first attempt at sceue painting. A young fellow for whom I've done a little business came in the other day aud persuaded me to paint him a scene for some private theatricals he was getting up. It rep resented the wall of an office and that safe stooil in one corner. He was good enough to say that I succeeded veiy well, and he told ine afterwards that it had given great satisfaction." Well, sir, the whole thing tU-dn-d on me iu a moment. My gentleman had hung up this drop scene in front of the safe, and the room then piesented its ordinary appearance to the street, while behind this ingenious screen he had been able to "work his wicked will" upon the safe at his leisure. To cut a long story short, the painter gave me such information a3 enabled me to put my hand on this amateur actor, and he was in due course tried, convicted and punished, while we were able to recover a large portion of the stolen diamonds, greatly to Mr. A s satisfaction. uon siaxKKYs akk c.truitr. Almost all monkeys which one see- in the United States, come from (Jor gona, a little village which is situated a short distance from the Panama liail road. The inhabitants of this district are mostly native negroes for no white man could bear the climate without drinking plenty of whisky and almost constantly swallowing quinine. The whole region is marshy and covered with extremely profuse tropical vegeta tion. At night there arises a thick va Kr, laden with fever, which hangs over the woods like a cloud. The region of wood is the paradise of the monkeys. Tkcy travel in troop3 around the woods, led by an older monkey. When the people receive the information that the "traveling monkey troops" are near the village, they re pair to tho woods in crowd 4 to chase them. Their plan is very- simple. They cut a hole in a coconnut largo enough for a monkey's paw. The nut is then hollowed out, and a piece of sugar is placed in it. A piece of string h then fastened to it and it is placed in it. A piece of string is then fastened to it and it is placed in tho road of the ap proaching monkeys. It is known that monkeys are very inquisitive animals. Sure enough they see the "lonesome' cocoanut in the grass, and hurry to ex amine it thorongly. It is a curious sight to see how they climb from the trees, chattering, to take a good view ol tho concern. It docs not take them long to find out that the inner part contains a piece of sugar. One of the boldest and greed iest sticks a paw into the nut to get the sugar and grasps it as tightly as he can. But his fist is so large that he cannot draw it out of the hole again with the sugar, which he holds fast to cost what it may. The negroes now pull the string until nut and monkey arrive in the vicinity of their ambus cade. In the meantime the other mon keys wonder what is the matter vith their comrade. They hurry to see where he is being pulled to with his paw in the cocoanut. They crowd around him, chattering and gesticulat ing to their heart's content. Now the great moment has come. The negroes have a large net ready and they spread it out over the unsuspecting monkeys and before they know it they are prisoners. They are sold to the em ployes of the Panama railroad aud reach the North American market through commercial dealers. Brooklyn Eagle. AX UXFOHTUXATK POSTCAKD. The Siam papers contain an account of the imprisonment in Bangkok of a Turkish subject, named Belitski, foi seven months without being In ought to trial by the Siamese authorities. His offense was that, having lately arrived in Bangkok from Hong Kong, he had addressed to his wife, Madame Char lotte Belitski, Toruovie Seimeu, Rou nielia, Turkey, a postcard, on which the following was written in the Ger man language: '-Baugkok, December 7, 186S. Here everything is wild and uncultivated; the women go about half naked. All vices flourish here a paradise for prob lematic existence-!. What a contrast to the highlv civilized natives of China and Japan, where I have lately been ! Siam is a genuine Wallachian country. It is the wildest country I have ever seen in my travels. "Bobep.t Belitski." On the sixteenth of December, Belit ski was arrested on a charge, as he un derstood it, of libeling the Siamese government. He was never brought to trial, and waa liberated on the repre sentation of certain British subjects. He made his way to Batavia to lay hia complaint before the Turkish consul there, Turkey having no treaty with Siam.
