HuuDAasr FOLK LORE.

King Knsa bad received from Sakre, the
chief of the gods, a jewel, which wasaoc-
tagonal in shape, and he used to wear il
suspended by q string, which had been
miraculously passed through the centre,
notwithstanding the eight bsndings or an
giles, from one end to the other. The
jewel had descended TO King Wedeha, but
the string by which it was suspended had
become decayed and rotten, aud no man
knew how to pass string through the
centre by reason of the eight bendings in
the jewel. Now, King Wedeha wished to
wear the jewel, anI SO lie sent it to the
villagers of the eastern village, where the
pandit dwelt, and bade them take out the
old decayed string from the interior part
of the hole, and replace it with new
string throughout, that the jewel might be
hung, as before, from the Kings neck
But these villagers were not able either to
take out the old string or to put the new
string in its stead. So Mahaushada,
knowing their trouble, sent for them, and
telling them not to concern themselves
with the matter, oriered them to bring him
q little honey. He then smeared some
drops of honey in the holes at the two ends
of the jewel, and having twisted a new
string of woolen thread, lie dipped the
end thereof in honey, and pushed it a
short distance in the hole of the jewel, and
placed it in an ant hole from which the
ants were coming out But the ants issu-
ing forth from the ant hole, by reason of
the smell of the honey, ate up the old
thread which had rotted in the jewel, and
taking in their mouth the end of the woolen
thread which had been dipped in the
honey, dragged it underneath and brought
it out at the other side. When the pandit
found that the string had been passed
through the jewel, lie gave it to the vii
layers and bade them present it to the
King. The pople of the village sent it to
the King, and when he beard the device by
means of which the string Lad been put
through the jewel he was greatly pleased.

TINE EASTER FEAST OF EGGS.

The custom of eating eggs at Easter has
been traced up not only TO the theology
of Egypt, but to the philosophy of the
PersiMns, tie Gauis, the Greeks, and the
Romans, all of whom regard the egg as an
emblem of the universe and the work of
Deity. Easter" says Gebelin, sand
New Years have been marked by similar
distinctions. Among the Romans the New
Year is looked upon as the renewal of all
thiugs, and is noted for the triumph of the
run of nature, rs Easter is with the Chris
tians for the Son of Justice, the Saviour of
the world, over d, ath by his resurrection" !"
The early Christians of Mesopotamia had
the custom of dyeing and decorating eggs
at Easter. They were stained red in
memory of the blood of Christ shed at his
crucihxion. The Romanish Church adopt
ed the custom, and regarded the eggs as
the emblem of the resurrection, as is
evinced by the benediction of Pope Paul
E. about 1910, which read thus: "Bless o
Lord we beseech thee, this thy creature
of eggs, that it may become wholesome
sustenance to thy faithful servants, eating
it in thankfulness to thee on account of
the resurrection of the Lord" Thus the
custom has come down from ages lost in
antiquity.

GOOD HEGSNN1NG oR1s7o.

While petitions innumerable are being
circulated asking of Congress further,
and, if possible, more ettectual legislation
to break up polygamy in Utah and else
where, and while these petitions are
being almost daily presented to that
law-making body for the suppression of
this peculiar social institution, the Su-
preme Court of the United States, that
final arbiter of all Constitutional and le-
gal questions, has just settled the whole
subject once. and forever. The decision
was SO unanimous that there is no posi-
bility of its ever being questioned or
reversed.
One Reynolds was sometime since in
dicted in the Courts of Utah for having
contracted a bigamous marriage. He
was tried and found guilty. He ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court of the Ter.
ritory, and finally to the Supreme Court
of the United States, The Supreme
Court of the United States on Monday
last affirms the judgment of the lower
Courts and decides that Congress haG
the power to pass laws prohibiting polyg
amy in Utah or elsewhere in the country
and that such laws are Constitutional.
The opinion in the case was long and
carefully prepared, as it had to grapple
with that clause of the Constitution that
forbids any legislative interference with
religious belief. The Court holds thai
the plea of religious conviction is not
valid defense for the violation of any
general law for the protection of public
or private morality any more than i
would be for violation of the rights O

property or the security of life or liberty
1t is settled, therefore, that Congress did
not transcend its constitutional powers
in passing laws for the suppression Of
polygamy in Utah. Justice Field dis
sented so far as related to the admissi-
bility of certain evidence admitted in the
Lower Court, but upon the main cues
ton of the eonstitutionality of the act
of Congress, there was perfect una
nimity.
This being an irrevocable settlement Of
the whole polygamous question, the over,
stocked Saints had better commence at
once rafting off their surplus stock OF
wives. Grand Jurors, backed by this
decision, will probably hereafter do q
large business in unsealing the hsrems Of
the hoary Saints and bring the said Saints
to judgment.

SLEEP.

The most violent passions and excite.
ments of mind cannot preserve even pow
full minds from sleep; thus Alexander the
Great slept on the field of Arbela, and
Napoleon upon that of Austerlitz. Even
stripes and torture cannot keep off sleep,
AS criminals have been known to sleep on
The rack. Noises which at irst drive away
sleep, soon become indispensable to its
existence; thus stage coach stopping to

unparalleled performance of walking two

she would fail in the attempt, but she

son. Male pedestrians and glass ball de-
Btroyers, who carry off fortunes in gate

The Gaine of Scandal.

There is game called "scandal," )"
which creates a great deal of amuse-
ment when it is played properly.
The persons who are engaged in the
game stand or sit in circle. The
more the better; thirty or forty will
make more fun than ten or twelve.
When all are ready, the person ap.
pointed takes his rlght-hand neigh
Dor aside and whispers in his ear a
short story; it may be about some
one present, or about public per-
sonage; but whatever it is, he must
write 1t down and keep it as proof
of what his statement wac. The
neighbor, in his turn, repeats the
story as exactly as possible to the
person on his right-hand, and he,
having listened, passed it on. At
last the tale returns to its original
narrator, who writes it down as he
received it. 1t is said, and L believe
truly, that never once has it been
known to come back as it started.
The most astonishing alterations
occur. Innocent jokes have turned
to frightful accusations, and only
the reading of the first story can
convince any one that he did not
repeat exactly what he heard. There
ia no better type than this amusing
play of the time-worn game of
scandal that the world is playing,
and has been playing ever since it
began. That number of innocent
people, with no intention of dis
torting facts, cannot hand the
simplest story from one to another
in the same room for q few mo-
ments without ridiculous altera-
tions, proves tho impossibility of
getting at the truth of any story
which had passed through many
lips. The disposition of the hearer
colors the tale even as he listens,
and more than this, many people
are deaf without being conscious of
it, and in peculiar way. There is
auricular illusion as we'll as optical
illusion. l know persons who,
while intently listening, hear words
that are not uttered, and who in re-
peating the impression that has
been made upon them, do not in
tend to tell falsehoods, but who
will, nevertheless, say to you, with
q bland smile:
II have told every one that you
told me that Mr.. KS beautiful
young wife had eloped, and they
are so sorry for him." And while
you deny that you made and such
statement, and stare in wonder at
the speaker, you remember having
told her that "Mr. KS new country
house was situated on beautiful
slope of the hill, and that he had
bought it to please his young
wife," I, myself, no longer believe
anything hear, and only half that
L see.
When you hear an evil story of
any one you k9aoW to be good dis
credit it, and say so. Grapes are
not gathered from thstles. Neither
do thistles grow upon a grapevine.
The fruit tells you from what tree
it came; but you know also what
fruit q tree is likely to bear. One
you know to be good and kind and
sweet and noble is not likely to
have done bad orcruel or spiteful
or petty things. Why should you
believe tale of him who is the
subject of scandal?-Mary Kyle
