The Znliiac.

AS to the signs of the zodiac, Prof. A.
Fl. Sayce says that the origin and mean
ing of some Of them are plain enough.
It is not difficult, for instance, to dis
cover the horns of the bull IN tie symbol
of Taurus or the arrow in that of Sag
ittarius. But the meaning OF others,
such as the symbols Of Virgo, OF Scorpio
Or of Capricornus is not 50 self-evident.
These symbols are OF comparatively
modern invention, and first came into
use along with the symbols still en-
ployed by astronomers TO denote the
planets. But, modern though the use OF
them may be, it is quite otherwise with
the signs themselves, and the majority
of the names by which we still call them.
Recent research has shown that the gen.
eral voice Of classical antiquity was right
in regarding the Chaldeans as the first to
map oat the path of the sun during the
year into separate regions or constella-
lions. There are indications that names
of.he zodiacal signs were originally given
when the vernal equinox still conceded
with the entrance Of the sun into Taurus.

PraSentiments.

There IS strange story about the last
victim unfortunately no longer the last
TO the Irish agitation, Mr.. Herbert. A
year ego he got up one morning early,
and told his family that he had been
greatly troubled by terrible dreams. He
thought he was shot down on the road
between the house and Castleisland, and
had q presentiment on the subject,
which has now been verified. 1t is not
unnatural for people living in Ireland at
present to dream Of murder, and it may
be thought little surprising that such
presentinents should occasionally be
fulfilled. However, s'Mr. Herbert's
story reminds me OF similar circum-
stance in my own experience when,
though the scene is also laid IN Ireland,
as it was before Mr.. Gladstone's first
Ministry, the country was perfectly
peaceable l was visiting some friends
IN q beautiful part Of County Wicklow,
and mad crossed Ashford bridge IN one
OF my excursions that night I suffered
greatly from Q dream, in which / in
agined that some great, unexplained
calamity had suddenly befallen me at
this bridge, and awoke with feeling SO
strong on ne that il was great relief
to lind it all unreal But / was I'M
pleasantly reminded OF my terror some
months later, when, after going home 10
England, happened TO be called by
business to Wicklow once more. My
horse, 8 borrowed one, ran away with
me and threw ne at Ashford bridge,
breaking my knee against the wall. AS
[ lay in agony on the ground, TIE con-
seriousness rushed back on my mind
that I had gone through the veg same
! sensations once before at that very pace,
IL ray well remembered dream. { do
noe attach any importance 70 dreams or
preseIrtimeIts generally, but this was q
curious coinc.dt nee. Mr.. Herbert seems
to have been punished for doing Lis
duty rs d jurymln. thing naturally n
j tolerabie 10 the Kerry brigands. So,ne
years ago l was in Italy, and when I
visited Ravenna and Sicily those r-aces
were disturbed by secret societies, and
jury men and magistrates were usually
murdered, when they could not be
bGihed or intimidated. "-,Speetator.

Warming 10 Farmers.

Farmers should be careful about set
ting Old straw stacks on fire. 4 Sew
Jersey farmer burned a straw stack, and,
just as the flames were becoming torrid,
six tramps orawled out of the stack,
their hair singed, and smoke oozing out
OF their collars and places where the
clothing was torn. They upbrailed the
farmer for bis careiessness, and threat
ened to sue him for damages. A straw
stack Was burned neas Racine and hui

best way to do, before burning straw
stack, is to take pitch-folk and, run il

Good and Bad Tahie Manners.

Some people eat instinctiveIy with
great elegance some never achieve Gle.
gance in these minor matters, but all
Should strive for il. There is no more
repulsive object than a person who eats
noisiiy, grossly, inelegantly. DR.. John
son is remembered for his brutal way Of
eating almost IS much SIS for his great
learning and genius. With him 1t was
selfish preoccupation.
Fish and fruit are eaten with silver
knives andforks; CT, # silver tish-kniyes
are not provided, piece OF bread can be
he'd in tie left hand. Fish corrodes a
steel knife.
Never tilt soup-plate for the last
drop, or ostentatiously scrape your plate
clean.
A part of table manners should be the
conversation. By mutual consent, every
one should bring only the best that is IN
him to the table. There should be the
greatest care taken In the family circle
to talk Of only agreeable topics at meals.
The mutual forbearance which prompts
the neat dress, the respectful bearing,
the delicate habit Of eating, the atten-
ton to table eteqnitte, should also make
the mind put On its best dress, and the
effort Of any one at meal should be to
make himself or herself as agreeable as
possible.
No one should show any haste in b
ing helped. any displeasue at be- n
left until the last. 1t Is always ply ,De
at an informal meal to ask for s. cor
cut, to say that rare or underdone peef
more to your taste than the morfJ cooke
portions.

fish; one is rarely helped ty ice a. des
seri. These dishes, also So lad, are SUP
