The true northerner., 1885-01-29

We came to low, whitewashed cot
tage, where lives, high up on the noun
tain top, tottering old man, ninety
five years of age. He looks after
small garden, and whenever he wants
anything he walks into Hermoupolis to
do his shopping. Our muleteer called
him out and he came to welcome us; he
was full of stories about the wonderful
changes he had seen during his long
eventful life; how he had fought for
his country's liberties; how he had as
sisted in building the first house for the
refugees down by the harbor. When
we left him, / asked our muleteer If
people frequently lived to be so old at
Syra. @Yes," was the reply, "an old
woman died ut 100 only q short while
ago; in former years people lived SO
long that the aged had to be thrown
down mountain cliff, which is still
called Gerousi." This tradition of Ion
gevity in Syra is curious, and more es-
pecially so in connection with the
slauqhter Of the aged. On the neigh
boring island of Koes ii is well known
that the old and useless members of
society were obliged TO swallow hem

The Able della Rocca, one of the
Roman Catholic brethren in Syra, writ
ing century ago, tells us Of the same
tradition existing then abont the great
age and general heaithiness of the Sy-
riotes. Homer gives us the following
testimony:
There in the city, void OF pain and fears,
They dwelt, and even as they wax I'm years
Apollo coming with his silvery bow
Aims with his sister the light-feathered spears
Against them, and the sweet life fades like snow.

THE reputed site of the Garden OF
Eden, at the junction of the Tigris and
Euphrates, is now sterile tract, where
the only vegetable life consists of a
clump of date trees near very small
and dirty village called Gurana, at
which the Turks maintain garrison
and telegraph Office. The inhabitants
point ont to strangers tho tree of knowl-
edge most sickly specimen, bearing
!. a small green berry which would cause

The place was the old Warsaw camp
ground in Milton county, Georgia. The
time recently. a large and seriously
attentive congregation had assembled for
the night service, the negroes in the rear
of the pu pit, as was the custom in those
days before the war. The preacher was
a talented young man, at that time sta
toned at Marietta. lie had reached q
point in the sermon at which he held the
almost undivided attention of the vast
audience, and perfect quiet reigned.
Just at that moment, when the interest
was most intense, Al old negro woman
hoped over into the altar, right in front
Of the preacher and shrilly cried out
"Hailelujahi the judgment day am
come" Her joyful exclamation caused
the crowd to look out from under the
arbor, and, sure enough, there was a
striking and magnificent spectacle.
The northern heavens were lit up by a
gorgeous aurora. Not many in that
crowd understood the phenomena, which,
in fact is rare Y Observable from southern
attitudes, and, not understanding, many
concluded that the ola auntie's eXplana-
ton was the true enc. "Ah. then there
was hurrying 10, and gathering tears,
and tremblings Of distress" Indeed, so
great was the commotiOn that there was
imminent danger of a stampede and that
somebody would be crushed in The sway
ing crowd.
1t was at this crisis pre-, cher, well
known to Methodist circles, tall, angu-
lar, red-headed, with the voice of a
stentor, ran out and mounted a con-
venieLt stump. "Be calm, my friends, "
he shouted, ''be calm. This is not the
judgment day, for how could the judg-
ment day come in the nightI' The in
congruity struck the people with sooth-
ing force. their fears subsidized, the
preacher finished his sermon and order
reigned in Warsaw. - Fairjuln (Gd.)

only an adjunct to social conversation,
however, and during the play one can
scarcely hear what is said upon the stage

the acts the house is cmptied into these

The introduction of the megaph one
on shipboard "A sort Of telescope for the
ear, or machine for magnifying the sound
is said to be a boon in prospect for
mariners. Its design is to enable per-
son to hear or carry on conversation
with people at a distance, ana it is con-
s'ructcd of two huge cone shaped tubes,
eight feet long and three in diameter at
the large end, which diminish to an apex
in the form of rubber tubes small enough
to place in the ear. Between these tubes
are two smaller ones, constructed in the
same manner. but not more than half the
diameter. BY placing the rubber tubes
in the ear and speaking through the
smaller cones the person can hear and be
heard Mt long distance, and it thus aids
mariners in listening for the sound of
breakers, or carrying on conversation
with PERSONS on shore or on other vessels
at o distance.

Drowned Whales.

The boy who pumped water on frog
''to drown it." was laughed at for his
pains; but on the other hand many for
get that ones own element or habit OF
life may have death in it when dcranged
BIZ a little violence. 1t would be strange
to read Of an eagle falling from the
Washington monument and breaking his
neck, but the thing would be quite pos
sible if the birds wings were tied; and
so if the gills of a fish are forced to a
use opposite to nature, by forcing water
up through them instead of down over
them, the fish will drown" Anglers
often accomplish this by holding the
hooked fish with tail up stream, or by
raising and then suddenly lowering
stop their respiration.
1t is still easier to drown whale
(Which is not fish, and, in fact, the
animal must be more than half drowned
before the lance can be used. very
curious eTempliication of the fact oc-
cured some years ago. \ whale had
been harpooned, and had dived perpcn-
dcularly. The whale remaining below
far beyond the usual time, the men
thought that it must have died from its
wound, and signaled for the ship. The
line, after being passed on board, was
carefully hauled up, and after a while
up came the dead body Of the whale.
But there was no sign of the hsrpoon,
and on further investigation, the line
was found to be TANNED at the back Of
the whales mouth, and twisted round its
body-whales will sometimes roll over
and over when struck, lust as an old and
experienced salmon will do when hooked.
After unro ling the whale from the hnc,
the men found that no harpoon was at
tached to it, and that the rope, after
passing through the animals mouth,
hung downward, and quite taut.
Hauling again upon the line, they
brought to the surface the whale which
had been struck, and in whose body the
harpoon still kept it, bold The fact
was that both whales were drowned.
After the first whale had descended the
second must have come across the line
while feeding with open mouth. Then
feeling the unexpected sensation of a
rope at the back of its mouth, it instinc
lively closed its jaws, and tried to shake
OIL the unknown intruder by rolling itself
over and over.
In doing this it would prevent the
first whale from rising when its breath
was exhausted, and so the animals man
aged to drown each other, and to afford
their captors the unique spectacle Of two
dead whales hanging on a single line,
one uninjurcd, and the other without
the intliction of mortal wound. - Cas-

says be found everything there in first
class order. He says that each buck on
the reservation is tagged, and is required
to wear his tag in sight. These tags arc
made Of brass ana in different shapes.
The shape indicates the tribe to which
the bearer belongs, and letter of the
alphabet shows to which band of tine
tr be he is attached. A number stamped
on the tag indicates the individual In
dian. On the roll his name is written
opposite to that number, so that in the
payment of annuitles and the issuing of
Iatlons each buck is easily identified.

comes around. any Indian who does not
produce his tag is sentenced to sixty
days in the guard house, Washington

YhitcWashed Sayagps.

A missionary stationed at one of the
South sea Islands determined to give
his residence a coat of whitewash. To
obtain this, in the absence of lime, coral
was reduced to powder by burning.
The natives watched the process of burn
ing with interest, believing that the
coral was being cooked for them to eat
Next morning they beheld the mission
ary's cottage glittering IN the rising sun,
white as snow. 1t was so beautiful in
their eyes that they danced, sang, and
screamed with JOY. The whole island
was in commotion. Whitewash be
came the rage, and happy was the CO.
quette who could enhance her charms
by daub of the whitewash brush Then
contentious arose; one party urged their
superior rank; another obtained posses
sion Of the brush and valiantly held it
against all corners; a third tried to upset
the tub in his ea@crness to get some of
the precious cosmetic. At last, to quiet
the hubbub, more whitewash was made,
and in 4 week not a hut, domestic
utensil, a warclub, or a garment but
was as white as snow; not an inhabitant
but had a skin painted with grotesQue
designs; not pig that was not whit
encd; and the mothers might be seen in
every direction capering joyously and
yelling with delight at the superior
beauty of their whitewashed babies. -

The coast line south of Callao docs
not differ very much from that north 70,
a long distance, writes a correspondent
Of the Kansas City Jo4raa'. The valleys
form along creyices, gorges and abysses
created by the melting SHOWS high up
in the Cordileras. These in time unite
and make a larger stream and gorge,
which, as it courses toward the sea,
widens out for miles and miles, making
rich alluvial lands where its irrigating
waters are trailed but a. the stream comes
to the ocean it meets wall of sand,
through which it rarely cuts its way, but
in which it usaally sinks out of SIGHT.
The coast is ever green, save in eXcep-
tional spots, but it presents almost a
dead uniformity of sand or bars, me-
tallic looking mountains iutt'ng down
into the sea. On the faces and clcits of
these mountains sea birds and seals are
often seen, and the former in places
create the valuable guano deposits.
From the upper deck, or lookout on
the bridge" one can, with a field glass,
now and then catch a glimpse of one of
these fertile valleys and always behold a
scene of great beauty. The fields are
yerdant as spring the hacicndas large
and imposing, surrounded with gardens
Of flowers and fruit and outbuildings
enough for Il small village. Thase
princely estates and lovely environs seem
to extend beyond the reach of the mag
nifying glass.
