A Queer Legend of the Isle.

A legend exists on the Isle of Man 10
the eject that fairy who exerted a
baleful influence over the island was
pursued by knight, and only escaped
in moment of extreme danger by as
Stunning the appearance OF wren. In
consequence of this, on the specific an
niversary, the islanders devoted their
enegeries to the extirpation of the fairy,
and the wrens were pursued, pelted and
fired at without mercy. Their feathers
were preserved with great care, there
being a superstitious belief that they
possessed the peculiar charm of pre-
serving against drowning or from death
by shipwreck. Any fisherman going to
sea without such safeguard was looked
upon as exceedingly foolhardy. Every
year, after Christmas Day, boys go
about the Isle of Man carrying wren in
a cage, suspended upon pole, and they
pluck out her feathers and present one
to any literally minded person who
pays them for their song.

The Circle Squared at Last.

On the 18th of August, says the Lon
don News, @. E. Parker-Rhodes exhib-
tied to few gentlemen, at Anderton's
Hotel, Fleet Street, an invention by
which be can be able to do what mathe-
maticians have vainly attempted for
1000 years-namely, to square circle.
He believes also that his invention will
prove useful in education and to pro-
fessional and commercial men, and it
will enable them to Immediately, and
without calculation, ascertain the ex-
act square of any area, however irreg-
ular in shape. The appliances used are
extremely simple, being merely guam
tlty OF small shot and shallow, square
trough, with which, and an adjustable
fright ANGLE" squares of various
sizes may be made. When the
the latter is cut in some hard
material. The circle thus formed is
placed on a level slab. and carefully
filed with small shot, none of which
are allowed to be above the others.
Then the shot are placed in the shallow
trough and the fright angle" adjusted
till they exactly fill the square formed
by the Fright angle" and the corner of
the trough. This is the square of the
circle into which the shot were first
measured. When the square of an ir-
regular area is required, the process is
somewhat similar. IF, for instance, a
surveyor were dealing with piece of
land of many angles and unequal sides,
he would make a small drawing of its
outline ''to SCALE as the professional
phrase goes. He might then cut the
figure out in cardboard, the thicker the
better, and fill the hole in the card
board with shot. The area covered by
the latter would afterward be measured
by means of the fright angle" and shall
low trough. Mr.. Parker-Rhodes did
not demonstrate yesterday the mathe-
NAUTICAL accuracy of his process; but he
maintained that such demonstration
was practicable, and he offers the dis
covery freely to all who may choose to
adopt it, Certainly it seems likely to
be practically useful, if not theoreti-
cally perfect.

Dining Out on Terms.
TFrom Household Words.l

lcEO I1OuseuOlu
The following story was quoted by
the author of the Paris letters in LAS
semblee Rationale as an episode that
actually occurred shortly before. Some
days since manufacturer happened to
be dining with magistrate. All the
guests were greatly enjoying the lively
talk of novelist, who. also works for
the theater, and, by the way, works ex-
ceedingly we'll. That evening he was
full of fun, his wit sparkled like dis
charge of fireworks. The dinner went
off like flash of lightning. This, YOU
perceive, is a French way of writing
briskly for a country newspaper.) When
they had left the table the manufacturer
took the novelist aside, and, with bow.
said:
"Ah, monsieur, how much you have
gratifed mel"
Monsieur"
Yes, really; you have great repu-
tation for talent, but I did not expect to
find you SO very amusing"
But, monsieur
Monsieur" continued the manufact-
urer, my wife is indisposed."
"Ahw
For some time past she has been i'll
and out of spirits. Would you have the
goodness to come and dine with me one
of these days? You will amuse her."
You believe that I will amuse your
wife,"
81 do, indeed. Do come"
Very well, monsieur, but of course
you know the terms?"
The manufacturer stared at the nov
elist.
The terms" he repeated, like man
who tries to understand what is meant.
Certainly" replied the other, with
out hesitation; 'when I dine out-with
manufacturer that's 500 francs"
"Ahp
''To be sure! You manufacture chem
icals, or cotton goods, or beet-root sugar,
or heaven knows what; you sell those
things, and get your living by them,
don't you?"
Yes, but"
81" continued the author, "work my
brains, and [ live by what I can spin
out of them; that's my merchandise,
you understand. When a gentleman
invites me to dinner to amuse his wife
who is dull, that's 900 francs"
What a capital joke"
No joke at all. Madame-your wife
is little low. Eth bien! send me the
cash, and I will come and divert her."
The dinner has not yet been reported.

I was walking in the Strathfeldsaye
park with him one afternoon, when we
paused at a railedof clump of trees.
"Here," said he, Giles Copenhagen.
By the way" he said, "do you know the
famous up, guards, and at them z is
not my fathers at all, but Lord
Saltoun's, and the right words
are: up, guards, and fire low?
My father sat Copenhagen fourteen
hours at a stretch at Waterloo. He was
a horse not much to look at, but of great
endurance and spirit. The duke got
him in Spain, and rode him through
his Spanish campaigns; he was very
fond of him. For years before he died
he was kept here as pet, and the ladies
were all proud to ride him up and down
the terrace in order to boast of having sat
on his back. He was buried here very
early in the morning. All the servants
turned out, and to their surprise the
duke, who was then very old and failing,
got up and appeared at the funeral.
When the horse was brought out he i'm
mediately noticed that one hoof was off.
He was very angry, but could not dis
cover the robber. Some months after
ward he thought he should like a hoof
and had Copenhagen dug up, but his
three remaining hoofs had rotted away.
A farm-laborer hearing of this asked to
see my father, and told him that he
knew the man who had done the deed,
for he had himself bought the hoof for
IS. 3D. In this way the duke recovered
Copenhagen's hoof, which he had set

A very singular case has come out re-
Gently in regard to young girl who
was engaged TO be married. She was
poor, and her intended husband bought
her wedding dress at an expense of
about $50. Before the wedding day
the intended bridegroom was taken sick
and died. The bride-eleot mourned
her loss, and finally imagined that he
was present about her, and that she
would still be married to him. Sie told
her parents how she felt, and they told
her that she must get rid of the we'd
ding dress. She sold it for $40 to an
acquaintance and soon recovered her
spirits. The girl who bought the dress
after she got it imagined that she would
lead bad life, and was so affected that
she was out of her head, and her par
ents sent the dress back and she recov-
cred. No. was soon affected as be-
fore, and so much so that she sent the
dress back to No. 2 again, and then she
recovered. No. 2 was again affected,
and an attempt was made to return the
dress again to No. 1, but her family de-
chned to receive it. This morning a
police officer was sent to take the dress
back, after consultation with counsel,
but neither party would receive it, and
now the friendg of the officer are look
ing to see him go off his base on ac-
count of the dress 1t would seem as
though the old Salem witches possessed
the dress, and it is barely possible that
the garment may be burned.

ACCORDING to the Indiana Farmer, q
man near Nashville, Tenn, is making a
profitable business growing persim-
mons. He has realized as much as $40
bushel for his best cultivated variety,
and has devoted goodly portion of his
land to persimmon orchard, with the
intention of showing the American
people just what can be done with a
product that grows in every old field in
the Southern and Central States, and
has heretofore been looked upon as
little less than a nuisance.
II may be matter of rejoicing to the
old-fashioned poultry raisers who al
low their fowls only the trees as a saw
ing of quarters, but the droppings thus
lost are annually more than the cost Of
good coops, to say nothing of loss of
eggs from insufficient warmth and care.
1t may be consoling that the trees are
tertilized by the droppings, but even
this is not a safe conjecture, as the ex-
posure to the sun, moisture and winds
soon deprives the manure of it's ammo
MIA, which is very volatile.

MY FATHER.
BY HOLLY HOOK.

Cold and gray and hoary
The day doomed up to me;
For all was winter in my soul,
No brightness could l see.
The sun, in all his glory,
Rose to greet the day new born:
But all was darkness in my soul
That beautiful, sweet May morn.
Upon the bier, with folded hands,
Ny sainted father lay;
Those icy lips did not respond
To mine as they had Away.
| Clasped his hand and called his voice
To come backward gain to earth,
Nor leave me here, with darkened life,
While he rose to the higher birth,
When 10 brightness seemed to come
From out the heavens sent,
Flooding with glory my poor soul,
And inward my gaze bent.
l saw q light, surprising fair,
Which dazzled my dim eyes;
Beheld, in robes of filmy white,
My own beloved father rise.
A smile of sweetness born of heaven
Sat well upon his radiant face;
He held his hand toward me, and even
Then | seemed to feel his grace.
my child, be comforted,' he said;
''rhOu shalt ever know my care;

Whether l am here or there"
Then the white light slowly faded
And | found myself alone,
With only my loved dead before me-
The spirit fed its earthly home.
But my soul was filed with rapture,
And l chung not to the frame,
But with clearer vision saw him,
And I ne'er shall mourn again.

The famous St. Bernard dogs are
very carefully trained. A traveller who
visited some of the monastaries of the
monks of St. Bernard, few years ago,
found the monks teaching their dogs
from the earliest stages of puppyhood.
Not only is physical and mental train

each with a tin dish before him, con-
tanning his repast. Grace is said by
one of the monks, the dogs sitting mo-
tionless with bowed heads. Not one of
them stirs until the "amen" is spoken.
If frisky puppy attempts to sample his
meal before grace is over, one Of the
older dogs growls and gently tugs his
ear. The Intelligence displayed by
these animals in rescuing unfortunate
travellers among the mountains is abso-
lutely wonderful. Many a man who
has lain down in a snow-drift owes his
life to the sagacity of the st. Bernard
dogs.

Thomas Andrews Hendricks, the
democratic candidate for vice president,
was born in Muskingum county, Ohio,
on September Z, 1919. The boyhood
and youth of the embryo statesman
were spent in hard study, and he gradu-
ated at Hanover college, Indiana, in
1841. He at once engaged in the prac-
tice of law, and took active interest in
the politics of his adopted state. Before
attaining the age of 80 years he had
served in both houses of the state legis-
lature, and in 1851 was elected a men,
Der of congress, serving subsequent
term and declining a denomination.
He was appointed land commissioner
by President Pierce in 1855, serving in
that capacity until 1859, when he was
made the democratic nominee for gov
ernor of Indiana. In the election which
followed he was defeated. When the
democrats secured majority of the
state legislature in 1868 Mr.. Hendricks
was chosen United States senator,
serving in that capacity until 1869.
He then engaged in the practice of
his profession until 1873, when he was
elected governor of the state. In 1876,
before the expiration of his guberna-
torial term, he was leading candi-
date before the st. Louis convention |
for the democratic presidential nomna-
ton, and when Mr.. Tilden secured this
