Bean Lore.

The Towering beans were anciently
supposed to give out a perfume that
made men light-headcd; hence, when u
person seemed unusually silly, the ex-
preston used Of him was 'Beans are
in flower" Another saying connected
with beans was: "Ogni grano ha la sua
semola" Every bean has its black, "
that is its black eye. This was equivalent
to saying: Livery person has his
fault"
Beans have always had something
mysterious connected with them ever
since the days when Pliny wrote of
fythagoras's rule against eating them.
"that beans contain the souls OF the
dead" And long ago in the city of
Rome the priests said that the dark
lines on bean blossoms were letters.
Still the modern mind is doubtful rs to
the success of the said priests in reading
such alphabet. But the lard of mys'
terious beans was Fgyot, where the
priests dared not look upon the vege'
table
To Pope Euticianus Is attributed "the
blessynge of benes upon the aultar, and
the ghosts of the dead were appeased by
the Romans, during the lemuria, by
throwing beans on the fire of the altar
every other night for three times.
And an ancient Popish book, of 1868,
SAYS of some ceremony to which beans
belonged: "We do not use to seeth ter
or twelve beans together, but as many AZ
we meane to cate; no more must b'
steepe, that is, mediate, upon ten OF
twelve shines only, neither for ten ol
twelve dayes, but upon all the SHINES
that ever we committed even from ou
birth, If it were possible to remember
them. m."--IIldepeHdeR.

American ladies agree to let Mrs. C,eve-

she in her last tour in New England

Establishing Rigid Ouarantines.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. 22.-Some fifty yellow
fever refugees from Alabama points arrived
in this city yesterday, and 100 more are re-
portei to be coming. A meeting, attended
by thirty local physicians, was held last
evening, over which the mayor presided. 1t
was decided not to establish quarantine and
refugees will for the present, at least, be ad-
mtted. The baggage brought by the
refugees al irving was left outside the city.
