Cuckoo legends.

OuCkUU loACAuc.
1t is common belief that the cuckoo
is a transformed girl, calling her
brother. In Servia the cuckoo, knkd
uttza, was a girl who lamented her
brothers death so long that she was
turned into a cuckoo. This in itself
is not very circumstantial, but Alba
MIA supplies a more complete story.
There were once two brothers and a
sister. The latter accidently killed
one of them, by getting up suddenly
from her needlework, and piercing
him to the heart with her scissors.
She and the esuryiving brother mourn
ed so much that they were turned
into birds he cries out to the lost
brother by night Qjon, Gjon and she
by day, ku, ku, ku, ket, which means,
"Where are you?" &
The cuckoo, says the Bohemian
LED end, once had = crown on hGs head.
till at a wedding among the birds, at
which the hoopoe was bridegroom,
she lent it and has never been able to
get it back. She is always crying out
Klltku, which means, "You rascal"
to which the other replies jda, jdot,
81 come, l come," but comes not.
The Bohemians also take the cue
koo for an enchanted miller or baker.
The latter is the more interesting
story, as being either of post Christian
origin or else pagan memory trans
ferred, as so often happened, into a
Christian dress. Christ, passing one
day a bakers shop, sent one of his
disciples in to ask for some new bread.
The baker refused to give it, but his
wife and six daughters, who were
more compassionate, delivered some
secretly to the disciple. In reward
they were placed among the stars, as
the Pleiades, but the baker was turn
ed into cuckoo, and 1T confirms this
story, this his cry is heard as long as
those seven stars are visible in the
sky.
In Poland long ago it was capital
crime to kill a cuckoo. The apparent
reason was that Zywiec, who in old
Slavonic mythology was the ruler OF
the universe, used to change himself
las Zeus once did and Indra, too, in.
to cuckoo in order to announce to
mortals the number of years they had
to live; a belief so real that multi
tudes used to flock every May to
ZyWiec's temple on the mountain
that was called after his name, to
pray for long life and prosperous
health. To this day it is common
article of folk lore belief that SO many
years yet remain to man of life as
he hears the cuckoo's voice fer the
first time in the spring. And monk
ish historian has handed down, for
the edifcation of posterity, the story
of that Wordly-minded brother who.
tired of the monotOny of convent life,
resolved to ask fthe cuckoo the num-
ber Of years allotted him to live. The
bird having said twenty-five the
monk resolved to devote himself for
q season to the pleasures of this world
and yet have time before him to pre-
pare for the next; but, alas the bird
was .heathehish and therefore false
oracle to listen to, aud death surpris-
ed the recreant monk in the twen-
tIeth year, still absorbed in temporal
enjoyments and yanites.

PrOmiscuOus Kissing.

A kiss is an effectionate demOnstra-
tion, and when discreetly regulated
and fervidly bestowed is not very OBJ
jectionable, as it brings the parties
into close relations of amity and is
occasionally eXhilarating in its effects
as draught of sparkling champagne.
But oscillations is sometimes attend
ed with considerable risk. Surprises
must be guarded against and under
no circumstance should kiss he
given unless the participants in such
luxury are sincerely attached to
each other. PromisCuous kissing is
a dangerous pastime, reprllant to the
instincts ofmOdest reserve, and is also
exceptionable if regarded from a SAN
itary point of view. A physician in
San Francisco mentions several in
stances of children having contracted
diphtheria by kissing some infected
school-mate or playmate. Other dis
eases more loathsome if not 50 imme-
diately fatal. he says, have been com
municated by osculatory enjoyment.
Parents should caution their children
against indulging in habit liable to
be attended with such ill results, and
grown persons ought to be more cir
cumspect as to time and place and
especially as regards the health of the
parties on whom they confer kisses
as evidence of affection.-Ldncastey

Mistakes in Life.

Somebody has condensed the mis-
takes of life. and arrived at the con-
clusion that there are fourteen of
them. Most people would say, if
they told the truth, that there was
no limit to the mistakes of life-that
they were like the drops in the ocean
or the sands of the shore in number,
but il is well to be accurate. Here,
then, are fourteen great mistakes !:
1t is a great mistake to set up our
standard of right and wrong, and to
judge people accordingly to meas
ure the enjoyment Of Others by our
own to expect uniformity of opinion
in this world to look for judgement
and experience in youth to endeav-
or to mould all dispositions alike; not
to yield immaterial trifles to look
for perfection in our actions; to WOr-
ry ourselves and others with what
cannot be reinedied not to alleviate
all that needs alleviation as far as lies
in our power, not to make allowances
for the infirmities of others to con"
slider everything impossible that we
connot perform to believe only what
our finite minds can grasp; to expect
to be able to understand everything.
The greatest of mistakes is to live
only for time, when any moment may
launch us into eternity.

AN OHIO TRAGEDY.
A Divorced Man shoots His Former Wife
and Kills Himself.

CLEVELAND, March 7.-William Lyon
entered the house Of his divorced wife, at
1913 Garden street, about $50 O'Clock this
afternoon and asked her If she would make
a bowl of soup. She replied that she would
and began preparing the repast. While she
was thus engaged Lyon pulled a revolver
from his pocket and held 1t moment in his
hand. The woman asked him IL he intended
to shoot her. He replied, In laughing
way, 81 don't know; perhaps Lwill."
The woman was standing at the stove pre-
pairing the soup when Lyon moved to the
other side of the stove, facing her. While
she was looking down at the utensil on the
stove, Lyon raised the revolver In his left
hand, and, taking direct aim at the woman,
fired. The ball entered her right cheek, ,
near the nose, and came out behind the left
ear.
After the man had fred the shot he cried
In loud voice: "Now I've settled you,
and I'll settle myself, too" He immedi-
ately placed the revolver TO his right temple
and fired, the ball entering his head and
killing him instantly. He fell down beside
the stove and never stirred. The neighbors
came rushing in. They found Mrs. Lyon
standing near the stove, with stream of
blood pouring on the floor. The injured
woman was removed to the Charity Hospi.
tai, few doors from the scene of the trag
edy The coroner will hold an inquest to-
morrow over Lyons remains. The dead
man was about 80 years of age and formerly
kept an auctioneering establishment on St
| Clair street. He was divorced from his wife
about five years ago. OF late he has been
drinking heavily.
Mrs. Lyons is comely woman, about 4S
years of age. 1t is said the couple have had
several serious quarrels during the past two
years. The revolver with which the shoot
ing was done Is of common make, known a,
s'Hard Pam" and is 30 calibre. Mrs. Lyon
was no better at late hour tonight, ant
she probably cannot live through the night
Lyons some time ago heard that his divorced
wife was soon TO be married again and jeal
ousy prompted his terrible deed.
