​ SAND-HILL CRANE. A very large species of crane (Grus Mexicana) found in the Mississippi Valley and southeastward to Georgia and Florida. It is a shy bird, with acute sight and hearing. Its body is about four feet long. The name is extended to other cranes, and is also erroneously given in some places to the great blue heron. See Crane.

Miss Murray in her remarkable anthropological study The Witch-Cult in Western Europe gives the names of nearly 700 witches, male and female. As regards the women there is an entire absence of Saxon names, Old Testament names are so few in number as to be negligible, Scandinavian names are not found, essentially Puritan names hardly occur, but the great mass of the names fall under eight heads with their dialectical differences: Ann (Annis, Agnes, Annabel); Alice (Alison); Christian (Christen, Cirstine); Elizabeth (Elspet, Isobel, Bessie); Ellen (Elinor, Helen); Joan (Jane, Janet, Jonet) ; Margaret (Marget, Meg, Margorie); Marion (Mary).
The Devil’s names include Abiron, Antecessor, Aspic, Barrebon, Black John, Blackman, Christsunday, Crebas, Daniel the Prophet, Helen Mcbrune, Hou, Iupin, Janicot, Klareanough, Jean Mullin, Leonard, Mamillion, Orthon, Quillet, Robin, Sathan, Simon, Thom Reid, Traisnesac, Tramesabot, Walliman, and William Simpson. Magic words, surprisingly few, include: Benedicite; ‘Thout, tout a tout, tout, throughout and about’; ‘Rentum, Tormentum’; ‘Horse and Hattock, in the Divellis name’; Maikpeblis.
Not the least interesting portion of the book is the appendix on Joan of Arc and Marshall Gilles de Rais. Anatole France has realized that behind Joan there lay some unseen power, which Charles VII feared and from which he unwillingly accepted help. Miss Murray's view is that Joan, such a common witch name, was the rallying-point of the religion—witch-cult—which permeated the lower orders in France as in England. ‘The questions asked by the judges at Joan's trial show that they were well aware of an underlying organization of which they stood in some dread. . . . In comparing the facts elicited at the trial with the Dianic cult, the coincidences are too numerous to be merely accidental.’ Gilles, the chosen escort of Joan, was executed as a witch nine years later, and much that is inexplicable in connexion with him seems simple on Miss Murray's theory.

The Periplus of the Erythræan Sea
Travel and Trade in the Indian Ocean by a Merchant of the First Century
Translated from the Greek and annotated

The Periplus of the Erythræan Sea is one of those human documents, like the journals of Marco Polo and Columbus and Vespucci, which express not only individual enterprise, but the awakening of a whole race, toward new fields of geographical discovery and commercial achievement. It is the first record of organized trading with the nations of the East, in vessels and commanded by subjects of the Western World.
The author of the Periplus was an Egyptian Greek, a Roman subject, who traded from the Red Sea down the East African coast and as far as Southern India, in the second half of the first century after Christ. Like Hippalus, who taught the Roman world the use of the monsoons, he steered his course straight across the ocean before the trade-winds, without compass or other aids to navigation. The Periplus is a merchant-captain's log, an original and truthful record of navigation and trade.
The notes comprise an exhaustive survey of the international trade between the great empires of Rome, Parthia, India and China, at the beginning of intelligent interaction from end to end of the continental mass; of the mediation of the lesser kingdoms, in Abyssinia (the first known record of that African state), Arabia, Southern India and Further India (the first accurate record of those regions in the Roman world), Ceylon and Central Asia; of the articles dealt in, the methods of trading, the trade-routes and trade-centers; of the political and commercial alignment of the world's powers of the 1st century; and include numerous new identifications of articles and places, important to the history of the period.
The book contains a historical introduction, an inquiry into the date and authorship of this Periplus, and a complete bibliography. Also, a classified list of articles of trade mentioned in this Periplus; a list of articles subject to duty at Alexandria in the Roman period; a summary of opinions of various commentators regarding date and authorship; a list of rulers of various kingdoms mentioned in this Periplus, with identifications; and an alphabetical index.

"Dwarfs of the Southern Countries" acting as temple guards. From a relief in the Temple of Bubastis.
PYGMIES
Homer, Iliad III, 6—Chapman's translation:
"At all parts like the cranes that fill, with harsh confusion. Of brutish clanges all the air and in ridiculous war (Eschewing the unsuffer'd storms, shot from the winter's star), Visit the ocean, and confer the Pygmei soldiers' death."
Aristotle: "The cranes go up as far as the lakes above Egypt, where the Nile originates; there the pygmies are living; and this is not a fable, but pure truth; men and horses are, as they say, of small stature, and live in grottoes."
​Karnak temple, Ptolemaic era—of the nome of Nubia:
"The dwarfs of the southern countries come to him, bringing their tributes to his treasury."
H. M. Stanley, In Darkest Africa, Vol. ii, passim: On pages 40-42, describing a couple of pygmies, one of whom, a man about 21 years old, measuring 4 feet in height, he observes:
"This was the first full-grown man we had seen. His color was coppery, the fell over the body was almost feathery, being nearly half an inch in length. His head-dress was a bonnet of priestly form, decorated with a bunch of parrot feathers; . . .
"Twenty-six centuries ago his ancestors captured the five young Nassamonian explorers, and made merry with them at their villages on the banks of the Niger. Even as long as forty centuries ago they were known as pygmies, and the famous battle between them and the storks was rendered into song. On every map since Hecatæus' time, 500 years B. C, they have been located in the region of the Mountains of the Moon. When Mesu led the children of Jacob out of Goshen, they reigned over Darkest Africa undisputed lords: they are there yet, while countless dynasties of Egypt and Assyria, Persia, Greece and Rome, have flourished for comparatively brief periods, and expired. And these little people have roamed far and wide during the elapsed centuries. From the Niger banks, with successive waves of larger migrants, they have come hither to pitch their leafy huts in the unknown recesses of the forest. Their kinsmen are known as Bushmen in Cape Colony, as Watwa in the basin of the Lulungu, as Akka in Monbuttu, as Balia by the Mabodé, as Wambutti in the Ihuru basin, and as Batwa under the shadows of the Lunæ Montes."

CARTHAGINIAN TRADING
Herodotus, iv, 196:
"The Carthaginians further say that beyond the Pillars of Hercules there is a region of Libya, and men who inhabit it; when they arrive among these people and have unloaded their merchandise, they set it in order on the shore, go on board their ships and make a great smoke; that the inhabitants, seeing the smoke, come down to the sea, and then deposit gold in exchange for the merchandise, and withdraw to some distance from the merchandise; that the Carthaginians, going ashore, examine the gold, and if the quantity seems sufficient for the merchandise, take it up and sail away; but if it is not sufficient, they go on board their ships again and wait; the natives then approach and deposit more gold, until they have satisfied them; ​neither party ever wrongs the other; for they do not touch the gold before it is made adequate to the value of the merchandise, nor do the natives touch the merchandise before the other party has taken the gold."

# The Outdoor Girls at Rainbow Lake/Chapter 22
#### CHAPTER XXII
##### WHAT MOLLIE FOUND

"Did you get—it?"
Betty hesitated a moment over the question.
Will, Frank and Allen stood just outside the tent of the girls. They had come back from a hurried race after the white object that had again disturbed the slumbers of the campers.
"We only had a glimpse of it," answered Will. "Then it seemed to melt into the water."
But it was big," said Frank.
"And made lots of noise," added Allen.
"That's just the way it acted before," declared Mollie.
In dressing gowns, warmly wrapped up, and in slippers, the girls were talking through the opened flap of the tent to Grace's brother and his chums.
"Can you imagine what it may be?" asked Aunt Kate. She had been making chocolate—a seemingly never-failing remedy for night alarms.
​"Haven't the least idea," answered Will, "unless it's someone trying to play a so-called practical joke."
"I'd like to get hold of the player," announced Allen. "I'd run him off——"
"Off the scale," interrupted Betty, with a laugh.
"That's it," conceded Allen. "Are you girls all right?"
"All but our nerves," answered Grace.
The boys made a search in the gloom, but found nothing, and once more quiet settled down. Nor were they disturbed again that night. In the morning they laughed.
"Oh, but it's hot!" exclaimed Mollie during the forenoon, when the question of dinner was being discussed. "I think we might go for a swim. There's a nice sandy beach at the side of our dock."
"Let's!" proposed Grace. The boys had gone off fishing.
Soon the girls were splashing around in the lake, making a pretty picture in their becoming bathing suits, of which they had more use than they had anticipated.
"Let's try some diving!" proposed Mollie always a daring water sprite. "It's lovely and deep here," and she looked down from the end of the dock.
​"I wish I dared dive," said Amy. She was a rather timid swimmer, slow and deliberate, probably able to keep afloat for a long time, but alyays timid in deep water.
"Here goes!" cried impulsive Mollie, as she poised for a flash into the water.
She went down cleanly, but was rather long coming up. Grace and Betty looked anxiously at one another.
"She is——" began Betty.
Mollie flashed into sight like a seal.
"I—I found something!" she panted.
"Did you strike bottom?" asked Betty.
"Almost. But that's all right. I'm going down again. There is something down there. Maybe it's the ghost!"
"Oh, do be careful!' cautioned Betty, but Mollie was already in the water. She was longer this time coming up, and Betty was getting nervous. Then Mollie shot into view.
"I—I found it!" she gasped.
"What?" chorused the others.
"The missing canoe those boys have been looking for! It is down there on the bottom, weighted with stones. We will get it up for them!"

All hail vernal Phoebus! all hail ye soft breezes! Announcing the visit of spring; How green are the meadows! the air how it pleases! How gleefully all the birds sing!
Begone ye rude tempests, nor trouble the æther, Nor let blushing Flora complain, While her pencil was tinging the tulip, bad weather Had blasted the promising gem.
From its verdant unfoldings, the timid narcissus Now shoots out a diffident bud; Begone ye rude tempests, for sure as it freezes Ye kill this bright child of the wood:
And Peace gives new charms to the bright beaming season; The groves we now safely explore Where murd'ring banditti, the dark sons of treason, Were shelter'd and aw'd as before.
The swain with his oxen proceeds to the valley Whose seven years sabbath concludes, And blesses kind heaven, that Britain's black ally Is chas'd to Canadia's deep woods.
And Echo no longer is plaintively mourning, But laughs and is jocund as we; And the turtle ey'd nymphs, to their cots all returning, Carve 'Washington,' on every tree.
I'll wander along by the side of yon fountain, And drop in its current the line, To capture the glittering fish that there wanton; Ah, no! 'tis an evil design.
Sport on little fishes, your lives are a treasure Which I can destroy, but not give; Methinks it's at best a malevolent pleasure To bid a poor being not live.
How lucid the water! its soft undulations Are changeably ting'd by the light; It reflects the green banks, and by fair imitations Presents a new heaven to sight.
The butterfly skims o'er its surface, all gilded With plumage just dipt in rich dies; But yon infant has seiz'd the poor insect, ah! yield it; There, see the freed bird how it flies!
But whither am I and my little dog straying? Too far from our cottage we roam; The dews are already exhal'd; cease your playing, Come, Daphne, come let us go home.

# The Posthumous Works of Ann Eliza Bleecker/To Miss Brinckerhoff, on her quitting New-York

Eliza, when the southern gale Expands the broad majestic sail, While Friendship breathes the parting sigh, And sorrow glitters in each eye, The vessel leaves the flying shores, Receding spires and less'ning tow'rs; And as it cleaves the lucid sea, The distant tumult dies away:
Then pensive as the deck you quit, Caressing sable rob'd regret, Indulging every rising fear, And urging on the pendant tear, While Recollection's flatt'ring eye Your former pleasures magnify; Then shall your guardian spirit smile, Rejoic'd that Fate rewards his toil; And as he mounts on ærial wing, Thus to his kindred angels sing: 'Hail, happy hour that snatch'd my fair 'To æther pure, from city air, 'Where Vice triumphant lifts her head 'And hisses Virtue to the shade; 'Where Temperance vacates each feast; 'Where Piety is grown a jest; 'Where Flatt'ry, dress'd in robes of truth, 'Inculcates pride in heedless youth; 'Where oft with folded wings I spy 'The torpid soul inactive lie, 'Shut up in sense, forbid to rear 'Her plume beyond our atmosphere.
'How bless'd my charge, whom gentler fate 'Leads early to the green retreat, 'Where every object thoughts inspire 'Exalted to seraphic fire; 'And where the speculative mind 'Expatiates free and unconfin'd; 'There surely I shall find access 'To cherish ev'ry budding grace, 'Enlarging still each nobler pow'r, 'Till active, like myself they soar.
'And when my pupil learns her worth, 'She'll feel a just contempt for earth, 'And six her elevated sight 'Alone on primogenial light: 'Nor shall her charms external fade, 'But bloom and brighten in the shade; 'While innate graces still shall rise, 'And dart their radiance thro' her eyes.'

# The Posthumous Works of Ann Eliza Bleecker/To Miss M. V. W.

Peggy, amidst domestic cares to rhyme I find no pleasure, and I find no time; But then, a Poetess, you may suppose, Can better tell her mind in verse than prose: True---when serenely all our moments roll, Then numbers flow spontaneous from the soul: Not when the mind is harrassed by cares, Or stunn'd with thunders of intestine wars, Or circled by a noisy, vulgar throng, (Noise ever was an enemy to song.)
What tho' the spiral pines around us rise, And airy mountains intercept the skies, Faction has chac'd away the warbling Muse, And Echo only learns to tattle news, Each clown commences politician here, And calculates th' expences of the year; He quits his plow, and throws aside his spade, To talk with squire about decrease of trade: His tedious spouse detains me in her turn, Condemns our measures and neglects her churn. Scarce can I steal a moment from the wars To read my Bible, or to say my pray'rs: Oh! how I long to see those halcyon days When Peace again extends to us her rays, When each, beneath his vine, and far from fear, Shall beat his sword into a lab'ring share.
Then shall the rural arts again revive, Ceres shall bid the famish'd rustic live: Where now the yells of painted sons of blood With long vibrations shake the lonely wood, All desolate, Pomona shall behold The branches shoot with vegetable gold; Beyond the peasant's sight the springing grain Shall wave around him o'er the ample plain; No engines then shall bellow o'er the waves, And fright blue Thetis in her coral caves, But commerce gliding o'er the curling seas, Shall bind the sever'd shores in ties of peace.
Then Washington, reclining on his spear, Shall take a respite from laborious war, While Glory on his brows with awful grace Binds a tiara of resplendent rays. How faint the lustre of imperial gems To this immortal wreath his merit claims! See from the north, where icy mountains rise, Down to the placid climes of southern skies, All hail the day that bids stern discord cease, All hail the day which gives the warrior peace: Hark! the glad nations make a joyful noise! And the loud shouts are answer'd from the skies; Fame swells the sound wrapt in her hero's praise, And darts his splendors down to latest days.
