MERMAID STORIES.
From All the Year Round. !

Sailors and seaside folk have always
had tendency to believe in mermaids.
They see moro varieties of fish, and
stranger forms of amphibia, than lands,
men; and, moreover, they enjoy mar
yelous stories about wonderful things.
Classical writer's tell us that the Sirens
were two maidens who sat by the sea,
and 80 charmed with their music all
who sailed by, that the fascinated way
farers remained on the spot till they
died. The Sirens (afterward increased
to three in number, and called by va
rious namos) are supposed to have had
much to do with mermaids-that is
people who believed In the one had no
difficulty in believing in the other.
Tracing down, century after century
we find an abundance of mermaid sto-
ries, vGuched for with all the gravity of
genuine belief. In an old book de-
scriptive of Holland, the reader is told
that in 1880 tempest broke through
the cmbankments of the low-lying dis
tricts, and covered much meadow and
pasturc-land with water. Some mai
dens in the town of Edam, in West
Fricsland, going in boat over the
flooded land to milk their cows, per-
ceived mermaid entangled in the mud
and shallow water. They took her into
the boat, and brought her with them to
Edam, dressed her in woman's apparel,
and taught her to spin. She fed like
one of them, but could not be brought
to speak Some time afterward she was
brought to HARLEM, where she lived
for several years, though still showing
IN inclination for the water. "They
had given it," we are further informed,
"some motion of deity, and it made
its reverences very deyoutly whenever
it pussed by a curifx."
In 1860 on the west coast of Ceylon,
some fishermen brought up at one
draught of net "seven mermen and
maids" which n Jesuit missionary GER
titled to be veritable types of human
beings, excepting, we suppose, i'll re-
gard to fish-shaped tails. This tail
question was, in the same century, set
tied in peculiar manner by engravers
and herald-painters. Mermaids with
two tails were often engraved in French
and German books on heraldry; a dou-
mermaid was engraved in a
Swiss edition of Ptolemy's geography,
published in 1910; and the Venetian
printers had liking for the same kind
of symbol on their title-pages.
Mary Queen OF Scots was made the
butt of numerous caricatures, some of
which represented her i'll the character
of a mermaid, sitting on a dolphin. One |
has been discovered in the state-paper
office--a mean and unmanly production,
intended to cast ridiculo on n woman
who could not defend herself from its |
effects. 1t is supposed that Shake
speare, writing some years after the ap-
pearancc of this caricature, had it in his
mind when he created the "Midsum-
Dream" Oberon says to
Dnnk.
