story of gentleman who proposed to
the Indy who is now his wife at dinner
party. He had been lover for some
time, but never quite persuaded himself
up to the point OF popping the question.
During tho eventful dinner he learned
from the person sitting next him that "A
rival intended that evening to make an
attack upon his Dulcinea's neart. She
was sitting some distance from him ut
the table, and tho rival was ut her side.

ever, for, tearing n half leaf from his

sent the missive to "the lady in blue at

however, and-tuclling the note into her

SWAN LEGENDS.
The Romance which Surrounds tho
Graceful Bird.
Ip.u Mail Gayaita

Ipall Mall Gazette.
In the northern legends swans play
most romantic part. Two separate cur
rents may be distinguished in the swan
myths Of Teutonic and Scandinavian
countries. To one current belong the
various stories of swan maidens, to the
other those concerning the knights of the
swan. Here, again, both traditions OF
beast worship and images OF nature, po-
etry may play part; though it is not
clear that the swan maidens OF the north
had any other origin than the obvious
one which would lie in process OF magma
tive reasoning like this: Swans are beings
all softness, grace and purity; SO are
some rare maidens; therefore, some rare
maidens are in reality swans.
At any rate there was no question that
such supernatural beings existed. They
were both fairer and wiser than mortal
women They could change from one
shape to another at will. To assume
the human shape they doffed robes of
down or 'swanshirts," but retained IN
variably gold or silver chain about
their necks. She whose swanshirt was
carried off by mortal could no longer,
while he kept it safe, become bird
again or resume its freedom. On the
other hand, she from whose neck In her
human shape the chain was taken, I'M
mediately became a swan again, and
could not recover her humanity until she
got back her chain.
Sometimes hunter approaching a for
est pool would descry n damsel OF more
than mortal beauty bathing in its waters,
would notice the chain about her neck
and the robe Of down hanging from
tree, would seize the robe and bear the
damsel home to live with him in happi-
ness until one day he should forget the
key which kept her magic garment from
her, and return to find her flown forever.
Or swan-brides would consort of their
owa accord with warriors who had sur
prised them at dawn as they sat spinning
in human shape beside the margin of a
mountain turn, until after seven years
their hearts would change, and they
would fly away, leaving their husbands
to sally after them over the snow In
vain.
Another Icefandic story tells how Helgi
and Olaf fought on the ice'of frozen
lake, and how Kara, the mistress Of
Helgi, lowered over tho heads Of the
combatants in the likeness of q great
swan, and by her magic blunted the
weapons of them that fought against
Helgi, until by chance he struck off a
leg Of the swan with his sword, and i'm
mcdiately the fortunes of the battle
changed.
The other great swan myth of the north
is that of the injured maiden, to whose
aid, in her extremity, there comes sailing
a knight in boat drawn by an enchanted
swan, and who, after the knight has res
cuQd and made her his bride, destroys
her happiness by insisting that he shall
tell her who he is and whence he comes.
| We are all familiar with this tale as it is
told By Wolfram Won Eschenbach, and
has in our own day been recast by Wag-
ner concerning Elsa of Brabrant and
Lohengrin. the son Of Pcrciyil.

A LIKE on n Horse.

A Detroit merchant had horse which
was the terror Of every pedestrian who got
within three feet of his head. The ami
NAL had teeth like shark, and would bite
everything within reach except pile Of
grindstones. Whipping had no effect,
and he would get rid Of muzzles as fast
as they were put on. The firm had paid
ont considerable money to settle for his
bites, and were wondering what they
could sell him for, when along came
man who guaranteed cure for S5. He
was told to go to work, and his first
move was to get an old suit of clothes
and stuff it with straw. The horse was
driven down the street, and the suit was
tied to hitching-post, back to the street.
A full pound of Cayenne pepper was
then rubbed into and sprinkled over the
garments and the straw stuffing, and the
Joke was ready.
The horse came Jogging back, and the
driver left him standing within six feet
Of the man of straw The Old bitcr's
eyes had twinkle as he saw a fine
chance to use his teeth, and as soon rs
left alone he began edging toward the
post. When ready for business he made
sudden lunge and caught the imam"
by the shoulder. That old horse meant
wickcdness, but he had surprise in
store for him AS he lifted the figure
off its feet and gave it shake It fell
apart, and his mouth, nose, and eyes
were filed with smarting powder. Great
tears rolled down his long nose, he
sncezed and snorted and coughed, and
he was just as chagrined at the general
laugh on him as man would have been.
lie backed away from the remnants,
opened his mouth to cool it, and hung
his head in shame. He did not cease
weeping for day, but when he got so
that he could look the public square in
the face he was a changed horse. Any
body could pull his ears or rub his nose
with IMMUNITY, In fact, he would court
caresses where he had detied them, and
on the approach of stranger would shut
his eyes and mouth, as if fearful Of an
other dose

An Engineers Wager.

An amusing incident in the career OF
Mr.. A. L. Holly is related by New
York paper. While working as an en-
gineer on one of the railways, he made q
wager with some of his fellows that he
could run locomotive a mile without
fire, water or steam, the locomotive to be
taken empty and cold from the shop and
towed by another engine to point at
some distance on the road where a level
stretch of track favored the experiment.
Young Holly rode in solitary state on his
cold locomotive to the scene of trial, and,
unsupported by his escort, set his locomo-
tive for backward running, so that the
revolution of the driving wheels moved
the pistons in such way as to pump air
into the boiler. This gave him, by the
time the destined point was reached,
more than one hundred and fifty pounds
of air pressure in the boiler, by means Of
which he ran his mile and won his wager.

others Won are GOOD to Yourself.

HydrOphObia.

Hydrophobia seems to be generated
from the saliva of other animal than
dogs. Cat bite has produced it, though
it is not in evidence whether the cat was
spontaneously hydrophobic or was moe
ulated. Tho Duke Of Brunswick died in
Canada from hydrophobia from the bite
of pet fox. In all cases the bite which
poisona thus seems necessarily to be that
of carniverous animal. Possibly the
larger carniyora may at times be similarly
affected, and spontaneously, though we
can hardly expect, from the few cases Of
human beings who survive the immedi-
ate effects of the bite, to find case OF
hyClrophobia thus recorded.

A Turkish Joker,

The best known story Of the tradition
al Joe Miller Of Turkey is that Of his
thrice fooIlng an assembly of true be-
levers out Of sermon by three success
i've jocuIar replies. Tho first time he
uscended the pulpit he sud
"Oh, true believers, do you know
what am going to say2 ?"
They replied:
"No;' whereupon he asked
"Of what use IL it to preach to such
ignoramuses? ?" and came down from the
pulpit.
The next time, when he asked the
same question, they answered:
4" Yes, we know ;" whcrcupon he said :
"Thcn it is useless for me to tell you, /"
and came down.
The third time, having taken counsel
together, the congregation prepared an
answer which they thought would cor
ncr their joker-preacher, and said:
"Some of rs know and sOmo of us
DON'T" whcreupon no promptly re-
piled
Let those who know tell those who
don't" and once III ore came down.
