Origin of Some Famous Legends.

Not among the different members OF the
great Aryan family only, are the germs OF many
of our best known stories discoverabe. They
seem to belong to humanity. Prot. Fiskc, OF
Harvard University noticing how the will
lam Tell" legend Gor it is a Legend, and that
which among the Welsh celebrates the death of
Gelerts faithful hound, and good many others,
besides, are found everywhere, says: ave must
admit, then that these fireside tales have been
handed down from parent to child for more
than hundred generations; that the primitive
Aryan cottager, as he took his evening meal Of
yava and slipped his fremented mead, listened
with his children to the stories of Boots and
Cinderella and the Master Thief, in the days
when the squat Laplander was still master OF
Europe and the dark skinned Sundra was as
vet unmolested in the Punjab." True but may
we not 20 further, and say that, finding these
tales or counterparts among Lulus and Mon

either pronounCs them to be Inmate ideas or
else hold that man had invented them in the

The Change of Climate in Europe.

A Swedish paper, just received publishes an
interesting article under the heading why is
the climate Of Europe growing colder" The
article states that in the bay of Komenok, near
Roma, in Greenland, fossil and very charac.
teristic remains of palm and other trees have
been discovered lately, which tend to show
that in these parts formerly rich vegetation
must have existed. But the ice period of ge-
ologists arrived and, as q consequence of the
decreasing temperature, this fine vegetation
was covered with ice and snow. The sinking
in the temperature, which moved in q sout.cr-
ly direction, as can be proved by geological
data, that is, the discovery of fossil plants of
certain species, seems to be going on in our
days.also During the last few years the ice
has increased far toward the south; thus be
tween Greenland and the Arctic Sea colossal
masses Of ice have accumulated. On European
coasts navigators now frequently find ice in
ATTITUDES where it never existed before during
the summer months, and the cold reigning up,
on the Scandinavian peninsula this summer re-
suits from the masses of ice which are floating
in the region where the Gulf stream bends to-
ward our coasts. This is REPETITION of the OBJ
servations made in the cold summer of 1865
The unaccustomed vicinity of these masses of
ice has rendered the climate Of Iceland so cold
that corn no longer ripens there, and the Ice.
landers, in fear of a coming famine and icy
climate, begin to found new home in North
America.-N0tJfe.

Those who had bibles took them
out; but this soldier had neither
bible nor common prayer-book,
and pulling out pack Of cards he
spread them before him. He first
looked az one card and then ano'h-
err. The sergeant of the company
saw him and said:
Richard, put up the cards, this
is no place for them.
Never mind that, said Richard.
When the services were over the
