The reader need not yet give oredence
to the sensational cable despatch which sum-
marizes aletter from Constantinople to a Lou
don paper. The troubles In the Turkish princi-
pail OF Bulgaria have been OF short duration,
and 1t lie preposterous TO tell US that within tina
time the Turkish Bashi-Baxouks have siaugh-
tered between eighteen and thirty thousand OF
the Christian population. The account Of the
Constantinople correspondent compels the
Inference that the Turks carrying IRE and
sword through Bulgaria, reducing the towns TO
ashes, Unfortunately massacrins tho In
habtsnts, carrying OF the women, and
putting the little girls TO night. THIS Is truly the
old Turkish way Of waRins war upon their enc
mics; but we should certainly have heard Of
these operations In bulgaria before they went 70
far as they are represented to have gone. We do
not doubt that the Turks practised atrocities
upon the Christians during the recent disturb
anee In that princ,paliiv; but the BulgariAns are
too wsrlike people TO submit 20 destruction

ter OF the population Of tho principally are NO

DISCOVERIES IN SWEDEN.

At Nymo. place In the neighbor-
hood Of Christianstad, a peculiarly in
teresting discovery has been made by
DR.. Hans Hiidebrand, the Swedish
antiquary. In ii tunuius OF the bronze
age there were found under heap OF
stones two burned corpses and small
bronze ring. In stone chest close by
were found the bones OF about twenty
persons, all buried in a sitting posture,
together with two amber beads and o
bone spear head. But the most i'm
portant discoveries were made in
wholly untouched 'Jettestue" at Fjel-
kinge. BY the side of the entrance
were several hundred fragments Of
richly ornamented clay pots and two
flint axes Inside were found human
skeletons, a quantity OF amber, a per-
forated animal tooth, four bone ves-
sells, flint knives, etc. In the southern
portion OF the chamber itself were
bones OF four sitting figures, and q
skull was picked up in perfect pres
ervation. The discovery has created
quite sensation among lovers Of the
antique, and renders the name Of DR..
Hildebrand, always indefatigable In
pursuit OF relics, more celebrated than
ever.

MAGIC.

Some months since an Englishman
named Atkinson bought a country
place near Pithiviers In France. For
many weeks thereafter carpenters
and masons were busily employed In
repairing and altering the chateau;
and after their work had been com.
pleted. Mr. Atkinson issued invitations
for large dinner party to all the
most prominent families in the neigh
borhooa. The. guests arrived at 8
o'clock, and on taking their seats at
the dinner table noticed with surprise
that there was not even one servant
TO be seen. The soup was consumed
In silent astonishment. When all
had partaken OF II the host sounded a
whistle, and as IL by magic the soup
plates disappeared, and three mag
niiicent silver platters, each contain
ing roast goose appeared. Little
cries OF terror were heard from the
ladies. Mr.. Atkinson took no note OF
his guests surprise, but remarking
that il was a very warm evening,
whistled again and the whole ceiling
disappeared. the hosts black coat
vanished it the same moment, leaving
him clothed In a white suit. The
guests, alarmed, were about to rise
from their chairs, when they found
themselves, their chairs, and the table
suddenly raised five feet above the
floor. They however, were soon
lowered again to the floor, and took
refuge in hasty fight from the de-
moniac abode. 4 judicial investigation
was instituted, and il was found that
Mr.. Atkinson had been for ten years
the chief machiniSt at Covent Garden
theatre in London, where he had
amassed IA nice little fortune. The
dinner was "a little freak to indulge
his fondness for his old pursuit.

lows every bend of the eharmer, The
majority of cobras carried about by
these men will he found not only fang

terized, so that the poison teeth can
not grow again. Mr. Nicholson In his
excellent book on Indian ophiology,
has very truly pointed out that even
the deadliest snakes may be taken up
with impunity by those who have nerve
and quickness OF touch. Unless fright
ened or hurt they are remarkably
slow to exercise their power. The great
thing is, in fact, not to terrify the ter
rible ndga, and half the mystery OF the
business stands explained when this
odd amiability in the deadly cobra is
understood and the perfectly collect
ed manner OF the charmcr is also OBJ
served. 1t is considered rather lucky
to have cobra In the chuppur OF the
hut, and the children put out milk and
eggs every night for their uncle. who
keeps down the rats and will live a
whole season about the place without
doing any kind Of harm. Religion and
legend combine to protect these rep
tiles in India, and, besides all the my
thology which clusters round the great
serpent OF Nishnu and its antique wor-
ship, Hindoos believe that cobras guard
all kind Of underground treasures.
"The jugglcr having no other gar
ment on him than the lingouti, chooses
serpent of n harmless species and
places it in basket, which he covers
with lid. He then rises and filings
his arms about, the while muttering
some cabalistic words which his COM
panion accompanies on a tambourine.
Suddenly he arms himself with a flex-
ible wand, which he whirls for some
minutes above his head, and then sud-
denly throws down at our feet, where
1t arrives in the form OF a serpent. In
spite Of the closest attention on two
repititions Of this feat | could not de-
tect the moment when the wand was
exchanged for the serpent"
That is an example Of the marvel
lous adroitness Of these Mats and
Madari, or snake people, who are
thought by some authorities to be
Identical with the gypsies OF Europe.
Mr.. Nicholson, for example, points to
the word S1rpeHgro In the Romany
language, which means the same
thing, and is almost identical in spell
ing with Sdfpe,idrea, one name Of the
great serpent Vusuki, in the Indian
mythology. IT may, therefore be that
In the Bombay snake charmers the
Prince saw the relic OF nation and Of
practices infinitely more antique than
Agha khan'S ancestor, and certainly
1t Is curious iS,w religious myths have
made the serpent as little dreaded by
the Hindoo people as he Is detested
and feared by the European races, who
believe that in Eden. as Burns puts 1t,
he gave the infant world shog maist

WORKS OF ART FOR THE GREAT
CATHEDRAL IN NEW YORK.

In describing the elaborate altar
that is in course Of preparation In
Europe for the great Roman Catholic
Cathedral, the Sunday Democrat says,
that Paul Cube, the we'll known
sculptor Of st. Brieuc, In France, In
addition to the work that he is doing
on the altar, is making the new Car
dinals throne, the font and the altar
Of the Virgin Mary. Most OF the
different pieces are already completed
and the altar will probably be set up
In the new Cathedral within two years.
1t Is expected that the entire work OF
the Cathedral, with the exception OF
the towers, will be completed within
three years. When Cardinal Nc
Closkey was in Rome about a year
ago, the Roman sculptor Carimini's
portion OF the work was almost COM
pleted, and the models were on exhi-
bition in his studio. As soon as the
Cathedral is rooted in ard the high
alter set up 1t is to be used for public
worship.

BITING ONES THUMB.

Scott whose habit OF writing notes
to his works might be advantageously
initiated by the poets OF the present
day-says that to bite the glove or the
thumb was border pledge Of mortal
revenge; and in illustration relates
how young Tcviotdale laird, upon
discovering on the morrow Of hard
drinking bout that his glove had been
bitten, insisted upon knowing with
whom he had quarreled, as he must
have satisfaction, although he remem-
bered nothing at all about the matter.
His curiosity was gratitied, and he fell
as he deserved to do, in the duel. In
England thumb-biting was practiced
to goad an adversary into fighting.
Decker tells us that st. Paul's walk
was notable for shoulderings, jeerings,
and biting Of thumbs to beget quarrels; !;
and Shakespeare imports the fashion
into Verona. When Gregory and
Sampson espy two Montague men, out
fly their swords; but prudent Samp-
son, to compel the others to take the
initiative, bites his thumb at them,
(which is disgrace if they beargit."
Challenged with the question, did
you bite your thumb at me, sir?" he
replies, mo, sir, I do not bite my
thumb at you, sir; but I bite my
thumb" and In a few minutes the
fray begins. 1t was not absolutely
necessary to put the thumb to the
mouth. In 1891 rude fellow was sent
fo pricop FOR aactinr villa ooptorp re
upon the clerk of the Sheriff Of Lon
don, by raising his thumb and saying,
"Iphurt, Iphurt!" ''in manifest con-

Neapolitan wishes to anger another,
he places the palm OF the right hand
on the back OF the left and shakes the
crossed thumbs, symbolical Of DON
Keys ears, at him; a pleasant bit Of
pantomime answeringto to the taking
a sight" popular elsewhere-a sign Of
contcmptuous defiance, said to be at
least as old as ancient Assyria. At
any rate 1t Is as old as Rabelais,
who thus describes Panurge receiving
Thaumaste: "Panurge suddenly lifted
up in the air his right hand and put
the thumb thereof into the nostril OF
the same side, holding his four fin-
gers straight out and closed orderly
in parallel line to the point Of his
nose, shutting the left eye wholly, and
making the other wink with profound
depression OF the eyebrows and eye

TO REMOVE FOREIGN BODIES FROM
1iE EYE.

A medical correspondent OF the Lon
don Lancet makes n suggestion which
may prove useful on emergency to
some OF our readers. He says:
I'm consequence OF the difficulty I
experienced in removing from q pa
tient a portion of steel imbedded In
the cornea, which did not yield to spud
or needle, some other means OF remov-
al became necessary. Dry, soft white
silk waste suggested itself to me, and
was wound round a thin piece OF wood,
SO rs to completely envelop the end.
This soft application was brushed
once backward and forward horizon
tally over the part Of the cornea where
the foreign substance fixed To my
astonishment, it was at once entangled
by the delicate but strong moshes OF
the silk and was withdrawn with the
greatest ease, caught by the same. A
gentleman, in turning steel at lathe,
suddenly felt that a portion had en-
tered his eye. He went at once to a
surgeon, who, with the most skillful
manipulation, failed to extract the
same. saying il would soon work out
OF itself. The next morning the pa
tient saw me, hnEing suffered severely
since the accident, and on the first ap-
plication the portion Of steel was ex-
tracted -
