MERMAID STORIES.
From An The Year Ronndl


Sailors and seaside folk have always
had tendency to believe in mermaids.
They see more varieties of fish, and
stranger forms of amphibia, than lands
men and, moreover, they enjoy mar
velous stories about wonderful things.
Classical writer's tell us that the Sirens
were two maidens who sat by. the sea,
and so 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 names) 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, vcuched for with all the gravity of
genuine belief In an old book de-
scriptive of Holland, the reader is told
that in 1480 a tempest broke through
the embanlzments of the low-lying dis
tricts, and covered much meadow and
pasture-land with water. Some mai
dens in the town of Edam, in West
Friesland, going in a boat over the
flooded land to milk their cows, per-
ceived n 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 Haarlem, where she lived
for several years, though still showing
an inclination for the water. "They
had given it, " we are further informed,
"some motion of a deity, and it made
its reverences very devoutly whenever
it passed by a curifix."
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
tilted to be veritable types of human
beings, excepting, We suppose, III re-

question was, in Che same century, set
tied in a peculiar manner by engravers
and herald-paintsrs. Mermaids with
two tails were often engraved in French
and German books on heraldry; n dou-
ble-tailcd mermaid was engraved in n
Swiss edition of Ptolemy's geography,
published in 1910; and the Venetian
printers had a 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 in the character
of mermaid, sitting on dolphin. One
has been discovered in the state-paper
oflice--a mean and unmanly production,
intended to cast ridicule on woman
who could not defend herself from It's

pearance of this caricature, had it in his

oOncerning Bathing Of the BOdy,


think our sanitarians are very ex-
travagant, and they have done great
public mischief by setting the great
towns to pIunder the rivers of their
supplies from the head streams. Even
the prophet of Mohammed, fanatic of
cleanliness, regarded friction with sand
as compensatory for washing. If any
ohe supposes that the limbs and trunk
of the body cannot be kept as perfectly
clean by dry rubbing as by any amount
of washing, I say he has something to
learn. Undoubtedly, in hot climate,
or hot weather, there is nothing so
pleasant and so rapidly effectual as
bathing, if the temperature of the water
be not too low, as it is apt to be with
US, even in our hottest weather. have
always enjoyed swimming; but reluct-
antly give it up because the cold makes
my hands dead, which cannot be health
full. I once brought on a severe attack
of illness by using sitz bath. All the
hardy barbarians of the north have, at
all times, been reproached by southern
people for their neglect in washing.
The old Romans did not, as a nation,
betake themselves to baths till the era
of effeminacy set in. Tacitus says of
the Germans In the midst of this
dirt they grow up into those limbs
which we admire" The Scythians of
Herodotus were reported not to wash /;
but in cold weather, at distant inter
vals, to cover their hodies with hot.
spicy paste. It dried on them, and
dropped off when cold, leaving the
flesh clean. Northern races know that
cold water takes strength out of them,
and they do not volunteer to touch it.
Their practice has more weight with
me than recent theories. No doubt
where hot baths, warm dressing-room
and luxurious towels can be COM
manded, warm bathing tends to human
beauty. Perhaps it makes a more deli
cate animal, more susceptible to icold.
1 think it does. A hot-air bath is a
very different thing, and more akin to
Scythian practice. But, granting that
wealth may advantageously avail itself
of warm water, with cold shower bath
after it, that does not justify a universal
command to men and women, rich and
poor, to wash their whole bodies every
day in cold water, as many of our sani-
tarians do Herald Of Heath.

Aud certain stars shot madly from their spheres
To hear the sca-uaids music"
We well know that Shakespeare made
many of his characters talk about mer-
maids and sea-sirens-''Ill draw more
sailors than the mermaids shall :" "Tn
stop mine ear against the mermaid's
song;" " At the helm n seeming mer-
maid steers" "Oh, train me not. sweet
mermaid, with a motel" "Her clothes
spread wide, and, mermaid-like, awhile
they bore her up" are passages we'll
known to readers of Shakespeare. Nor
are musical folk less acquainted with
the charming air which Haydn gave to
the mermaid's song, where the siren of
the sea says to some enchanted mortal
"S9%s TSs,s With Min ros,! me and nd We; we Tll go
An almanac for 1865 gravely told its
readers, =" Near the place where the fa-
nous Dee payeth it's tribute to the Ger
man ocean, if curious observers of Won
derful things in nature, viii be pleased
TO resort thither on the LIST, 18th and
29th of May, and in divers other times
in the ensuing summer, rs also in the
harvest time to the 7th and 1lth of Oo
tober, they viii undoubtedly see pret-
ty company of Mar Maids, creatures of
admirable beauty, and likewise hear
their charming, sweet, melodious
voices" The prognosticator kindly
tells MS the exact song which these
Scottish mcrmnids would sing; it was
nothing less than new version of GOOD
save the king" but, rs the year 16Ss
was rather a critical one in matters dy-
nastic, we are left somewhat in doubt
whether the king to be thus honored
was James III. or William of Orange.
At any rate, the mermaids were pious
as well as loyal, for one of the things
there were 10 do was "To extol their
Maker and His bounty praise" About
the same timc, Merollo, aSpaniard, or
an Italian, who made a voyage 20 Congo,
told the readers of his narrative that he
saw, in the sea, some beings like unto
men, not only in their figures, but like
wise in their actions for we saw them
plainly gather great quantity Of n Ger
tain herb, with which they Immediate
ly plunged themselves into the sea. -
The sailors tried TO catch them in net,
but the mermcn were too wide awake,
" they lifted up the net and made their
escape.
In 170l, according TO Brands " De
scription of the Orkney and Shetland
