Ghe Robin Hood Legends.


Like other heroes, great and small, it
appears that Robin Hood is in consid-
cradle danger. Not long ago somebody
suggested that he is no more than Z" the
last survival of some degraded deity"
and now MIR. Isaac Taylor writes to a
literary cotemporary to point out that
be is perhaps only the result of that
sun myth which is 20 constantly turning
up under unexpected forms. William
Tell, we know, has been long ago, con-
signed to this sort of Immortality, and
William of Cloudesley has gone the same
way; though whether this fate is to
overtake Adam Bell and Clym-of-the-
Cleugh we have not yet heard. at any
rate, Robin Hood is closely connected
with William of Cloudesley; and MIR.
Taylor brings together many circum-
stances which go far to establish the
theory OF the solar explanation of
Robin Hood. The Nottinghamshire
hero is the Hodr of northern mythology
(the Hotherus of Saxo EXAMINATIONS
gets very close to the name), "the good
archer, the last reflection of the Sun
God," as Prof. Max Muller says, by
whatsoever name called. Like other
solar heroes, he has his faint reflection
in Little John, who stands as Patroclus
to Archilles, or Gunnar to Siguard in
other forms of the legend; and Maid
Marian becomes no less parsonage than
the lawn.maiden whom the mythologists
have found to their satisfaction in Bryn-
hid, and perhaps also in Briessis and
Guinevere. If so, however, it is worth
noticing that in our midland legends the
charms OF the dawn maiden do not seem
to have worked any such dire effect rs
they do in some of the other versions.
1t might, perhaps, be added, that the
guarded gold of the Nibelung story
which is stolen by the solar heroes is to
be found in the treasure of the "proude
Sheryfe of Nottingham which Robin
Hood and his merry men convey" F"
Lastly, Mr.. Isaac Taylor observes and
this is really signifcant-tha the Robin
Hood ballads and legends are localized
precisely in those parts of England in
which the Scandinavian element was
known to be the strongest.

A traveller for New York house found
a new firm down in Jersey town about
three months ago, The sign over the
grocery read: "Jaoob Reber & Co."
On his next trip down the sign had
changed, 1t read: Jacob Reber &
Son." When the traveller struck the
town the third time he looked for the
sign and discovered that thread: "Hans
Reber & Father" The old man stood
in the door, and the traveller halted and
said:

Chronic Lassitude.
[From the Scientific American.

tHioHI 'he SeleutiuC AmtIlCan.J
There are certain characteristics con-
nected with lazy man which are admir-
able. They excite in the twanging, jing-
ling breasts of the nervous fidgety a
feeling which borders on respect and
akin to awe. Your double-geared fd-
getty man will spin all day like top and
run down in the cool of the evening on
the identical spot on which he started
oil after breakfast. The man suffering
from chronic lassitude will keep still,
keep cool, keep in the shade, put in a
full days work resting himself and ar
rive on time at sundown, cool, calm
and collected, without having once sweat
under the collar or laid a hair.
The professional lazy man seens to
eat, drink and sleep with as much gusto
and sang fl old as his figety brother with
the high pressure anatomy and patent
double cylinder, fast, perfecting, hy-
gienic apparatus, who gets hot in the
box, and wears and grinds and cuts his
life away like piece of mistit machin-
cry. The fact of the business is the m an
of hustle wears his life away for the
want OF the oil ofrest. The lazy man just
soaks along like handful of cotton
waste in the oil cup of box. car axle.

An Old Story of Frederick William

Near San Souci, the favorite residence
of Frederick the Great, there was mill
which much interfered with the view
from the palace. One day the king sent
to inquire what the owner would take
for the mill; and the unexpected reply
came that the miller would not sell it for
any money. The king, much incensed,
gave orders that the mill should be
pulled down. The miller made no re-
sistance, but folding his arms, quietly re-
marked, "The king may do this, but
there are laws in Prussia
And he took legal proceedings, there
suit of which was that the king had to
rebuild the mill, and to pay good sum
OF money besides in compensation. AL
though his majesty was much chagrined
at this end to the matter, he put the best
face he could upon it, and turning to his
courtiers, he said, 81 am glad to see
that there are just laws and upright
judges in my kingdom
A sequel to this incident occurred
about forty years ago. A descendant of
the miller of whom we have just been
talking had come into possession of the
mill.
AFTER having struggled Tor seVerrl years
against ever increasing poverty, and be-
ing at length quite unable to keep on his
business, he wrote to the king of Prus-
STA, reminded him of the incident just
related, and stated that if his majesty
felt SO disposed, he should be very
thankful, in his present difficulty, to sell
the mill. The king wrote the following
reply in his own hand:
My DEAR NEIaHBoR-I cannot allow you to
sell the mill. 1t must always be in our possess
sion as long as one member OF your family ex-
lists, for it belongs to the history of Prussia.
regret, however, to hear that you are in such
Strengthened circumstances, and therefore send
you herewith $4,000, in the hope that it may
be of some service in restoring your failing
fortune.
Consider me always your affectionate neigh

soluble particles. When the soil is fine
as dust the water, as it penetrates
through it, is able to dissolve all the
plant food that the growing crop needs,
and the soil is very productive. Then
again the finer the soil is the more
spaces the roots of growing plants have
in which to extend and seek their sup
plies of food. These are some of the
reasons why fineness of the soil contrib
utes to its fertility. In order that soil
may bo fertile, its character must be
such that it will be favorable to obtain
leg and retaining sufficient moisture for
the support of plants. Soil has the
power of withdrawing from the air, va
por, and ;ondensing it in its pores where
it is available for the use of plants.
Not all kinds of soil possess this power
in equal degree.

Did He Pay Enough? (?
tFrom the Burlington Hawkeye.


A Nashville man had to pay $500 for

high, brethren, $500 but she was the right
kind of schoolma'am, with pink cheeks
and white apron, not so tall by head

whether to be roguish or serious, a
mouth made for smiles, and her chin
fastened on with dimples, just ripple
III her hair, a-a-er-a-and the Nash
vile man was deliberate about it and
enjoyed it, and didn't kiss her like ter

For a writer to palm off the work of an

Hon. George F. Lord, of Elgin. keeps
100 COWS on 300 acres of land, and has
not raised pound of hay for years. The
corn is sowed in drills 81 feet apart, and
about the time it blossoms it is cut with
self-raking reaper, cutting one row at
time, the machine throwing it off in
ganels. When sufficiently wilted it is
bound and set in large stacks and al
lowed to cure standing on the ground
until winter sets in, when it is hauled
to the barn. He secures yield of about
seven tons of cured fodder to the acre,
worth as much as the best hay. He is
