snnsr.titinn About Storms.

Caverns were supposed by the Ro-
mans to be secure places of refuge
during thunder storms, and they be-
lieved that lightning penetrated
more than two yards into the earth.
Acting on this superstition the EN-
peror Augustus used to withdraw into
some deep vault of the palace when
ever a TEMPEST was feared, and it is
recorded by Suetonius that he always
wore a skin of seal around his body as
a protection against lightning. That
both precautions are equally unavail-
ing need scarcely be mentioned.
Lightning has been known to strike
ten feet into the earth; but not even
the marvellous accuracy of modern
science can determine at what distance
from the surface a safe retreat may be
found from the descending fluid; and
even were this ascertained, the dan
gers from ascending electric currents
remain the same. With regard to seal
skins, we find that the Romans attach
ed so much faith to them as non-con-
ductors that tents We're made of them,
beneath which the timid used to take
refuge.
1t is a curious fact that in the neigh
borhood of Mount Cavennes, in the
Languedoc, where a~nciently some Ro-
mar colonies were known to have ex-
listed, the shepherds cherished a SINH
lar superstition regarding the skins of
serpents. These they carefully col
lect, and, having covered their hats
withal, believe themselves secure
against the danger of the storm. M.
Labossiere is disposed to see a link of
interesting analogy between the leg
end which yet fingers in the mind of
the peasant Of Cavennes and the most
costly superstition held in reverence
by his Latin ancestors.-New York
Mail and Express.

The average boy may be trusted to
draw an inference, if it has to do with
his own pleasure; but if the question
be an abstract one, the issue is more
doubtful.
A New York teacher, according to
one of our exchanges, was trying to
illustrate to his pupils the precise
meanings of the words biped and
quadruped. For this purpose he
showed them two pictures, one repre-
senting a horse, the other a rooster.
He explained the origin and mean
ing of the two words, exhibited the
pictures, and of course thoughthe had
made himself understood. So, by
way of review exercise, as it were,
he held the pictures aloft, and asked,
in encouraging tones:
Now, scholars, which one am II"
THE rooster, sir" was the prompt
and confusing answer from several of
the pupils.-Youth's Companion
, 1889-10-01

There was told in my hearing the
other day a tale which carries with il
a moral. A gentleman who travels q
good deal, being a bachelor with a
good fortune and plenty of leisure,
has, when in town, a suite of rooms at
the house of his married sister. He
returned recently from a trip, reaching
home in the evening.
In the morning he slipped into his
dressing oom to remain until the
maid should do what was necessary
in his chamber, and, taking a book,
he sat down to read while he was
waiting. He always carried with
him a diamond ring which had been
his mothers, which he sometimes
wore and sometimes had in his pocket.
This he had left with his watch on the
stand by the head of the bed. He sat
reading for some time, and even af-
ter he heard the maid go out he kept
on with his book. Suddenly he heard
a slight noise in his chamber, and,
folding his dressing gown about him,
he opened the door and looked in.
The chamber was apparently empty,
but his eye was caught by a cord
which seemed to extend from the open
window toward the bed Going for
ward 10 eXamlne this he perceived O
monkey, till then hidden from sight
by the bed, that, with his diamond ring
in his clutches, was marching off.
The owner of the ring shouted and
ran forward, when the theivish ami
NAL dropped its prey and skurried out
of the window as fast as its skinny
legs would carry it, and picking up
the jewel TO assure himself it was all
right, the gentleman reached the win
dow in time to see an organ grinder
making off with the monkey on his
shoulder. There was no doubt that
he had trained the beast to climb into
the windows and steal any valuables
upon which it could lay its hands,
and the incident may serve as a warn
ing to those who allow monkeys to
scramble at will over their chamber
blinds and windows. But the i'm
pressive aspect of the story, if one con-
siders, is the position in which the
chambermaid would have been put
had the owner of the ring appeared
on the scene but a moment later

The destinations of the press are
great. To enter upon the caree re-
quires no capital. According to the
Marquis of Salisbury, who, during a
period of arrangement from his ia
ther, was partly dependent o his pen,
the sole requirement is brains" His
lordship's opinion that comparatively
little training is necessary will not be
readily accepted by those who are
practically acquainted with the work
ing of q newspaper in these days,
when it can no longer be said hat the
best writing is done by young men of
leisure in other professions. Brains
alone will not produce a good leading
article, Notwithstanding that this is
of the three feats of which every
a believes himself capable. An
amusing illustration of the fallacy
was furnished in a provincial office.
One of the proprietors, a carpet manu-
facturer, wrote a leader. 1t was sub
mitted to the editor, a gentleman dis
tinguished in his calling, and appear
ed next morning in form hardly rec
equitable by the writer. He had read
many a leader, and thought that he
could write one. .Sir," replied the
editor, tapping the floor with his foot,
81 have walked on many a carpet,
yet | never thought l could make
one" Leader writing is not the only
branch of journalism that demands,
in addition to brains, a combination
of qualities rarely found in one man.
