Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1890-11-23

"Bestiary," tells the story of the lamia with
much the same machinery as that which was
used by Keats, but Topsell, being plain
man, is little disposed TO linger over such
moonshine as the tale of the young man of
Corinith, tine beautiful wandering woman,
and the cynical philosopher. "To leave,
therefore, these fables" he says, with great
dignity, land come to the true description of
the lamia. \ n The hinder
parts of the beast are like unto a goate, his
forelegs like beare's, his upper parts to a
woman, the body scaled all over like a
dragon, as some have affirmed by the OBJ
servation of their bodies, when Probus, the
Emperor, brought them forth unto publike
spectacle; also it is reported of them that
they devoure their own young ones, and
therefore they derive their name lamia, Of
Lamiando; and thus much for this beast.
i less terrible combination of man and
animal was the centaur, a creature so old
that the first record we have of him is As
syrian. The centaur is, perhaps, one OF the
most attractive of NEUROLOGICAL beings. In
sculpture he was favorite subject of the
Greeks, and those imaginary portraits OF
him, which survive from the Athenian
wreck, show that he was always conceived
as model Of muscular development The
torso was noble, and in the whole body there

which was paid as tribute to the King of
France in 1868, was valued at what would
amount in our day to over $500, 900. Uni
corns, 1t would be observed, were luxuries,
and yet they were not difficult to capture.
Thus Topsell:
''It is sayd that Unicornes, above all
other creatures, doe reverence Virgines and
young Maides, and that many times at the
sight of them they grow tame, and come
and sleepe beside them, for there is in their
nature q certa1ne SAVIOR, wherewithal the
Unicornes are allured and delighted; for
which occasion the Indian and Ethiopian
hunters use this stratagem to take the
beast: They take a goodly, strong and
beautiful young man, whom they dresse in
the APPAREL of a woman, besetting him
with divers odoriferous flowers and spices.
The man so adorned they set in the Noun
taines or Woods, where the Unicorne
hunteth, so as the wind may carrie the
SAVIOR to the beast. and in the meane season
the other hunters hide themselves; the Q mi
corne deceaved with the outward shape of
a woman, and sweete smells, cometh to the
Young man withouf feare, and so sufereth
his head to bee covered and wrapped within
his large sleeves, never stirring, but lying
still and asleepe, as in his most acceptable
repose. Then when the hunters, by the
signs of the young man, perceave him fast
and secure, they come uppon him, and, by
force, cut off his horne, and send him away
alive"

zens of the earth. Leaving terra frma and

assume that it is pretty far back. Mortimer
Collins touches upon the question OF geneal-
ogy here with delightful humor:
There was an ape in the DAYS that were earlier;
Centuries passed, and his hair became curlier;
Centuries more gave thumb to his wrist
Then he was man, and positiyist.
1t is asserted by Darwin that the men, for
SO we NAV call them, Of that prehistoric
period were gifted with tails. He is con-
hrmed in this view by the records of many
writers VINO saw, Indeed, that in Borneo and
Java not only the men, but the women also,
wore the pretty decoration. Peter Martyr
describes one race whose tails were so stiff
like those of fishes or crocodileS-that all
their benches had holes in them through
which the Objectionable extremity was
thrust whenever the wearer sat down to rest.
But, as Mr.. Ashton says, the tailed man,
the "Ouran Outain," is cast completely in
the shade when we go even deeper into the
records Of zoology. There is the cyclops,
whose fanged mouth was placed between his
shoulders, whose one eve CLEANED from a
commanding position at the very top of
what was supposed to be his nead, who had
wings resembling pair of cast-otf goloshes,
whose solitary foot was turned sideways, and
who lived, according 10 Pliny, in the very
center Of the earth, in Italy and Sicily.
Then there is the GryphoI, whose nose is
sometimes planted in the middle of his
chest, the elephant-headed man, the man of
Ethiopia, who has only one foot, and that
amiable family OF the Island of Dodyn, of
which Vaudeville says that ''the father eat
eth the son, and the son the father, the hus-
band his wyfe, the wyie her husband"

form resembles in some particulars that of a

venturing either into the air above or the
waters under the earth, we still are sur
rounded by curious creatures. In the air
especially the name of the monsters is
legion, for wings are the easiest of all things
to attach to ones visions. The angels furnish
a good precedent for the creation of the
human bird, but that the celestial attitude
could not be lightly assumed is evidenced
by the fact that the harpies, the chief bird
women, were notoriously wicked. Shake
speare, in his 'Pericles," causes Cleon to
say:
Thou'rt like the harpy,
Which to betray dost. with thine angels face.
Seize with thine eagles talons.
The siren WAS an Improvement upon the
harpy in physical structure, being an angel
from the waist up, but she was no more to be
trusted than the less beautiful bird. Her
silvery voice, her exquisite form and grace,
were used onl y to lure seameu TO their de-
struction. The air gives us also the phoenix,
the martlet or footless bird, the two-headed
goose, the four-footed duck, the griffin and
the haicyon. All these "lowls" were fear
fully and wonderfully made, and all were
once familiar objects to travellers in the un-
known countries. The dragon, as the form
in which Satan is popularity supposed to be
most at home, is naturally frightful beast
to the old writers. Our illustration shows
the way In which His Satanic Majesty ap-
peared to the famous Aldrovandns centu-
ries ago. As will be readily seen, Aldro-
vandus did not stint the evil one in scales
when he put him on paper.
In approaching the sea it is dangerous to
doubt. The sea serpent has been seen, be-
lated sailors have firted with bewitching
mermaids, and colossal crabs, beside which
Rider Haggard's dwindle visibly, have
been captured. The Greeks worshiped q
mermaid in Astarte and Ialer on they
evolved their goddess into another, Venus
Aphrodite, who was the type of the perfect
woman. Aphrodite was always attended
by women. and, of course, by mermaids.
The pair embracing each other so affection
ately in our illustration might easily have
taken part in one of the triumphs of the
loam-born goddess.

THE NEW MONEY IDEA.

One of the Latest Fads Noticed at the
Metropolis.
New York Times.l
"Can you give me 5000 in new money!"
inquired young man at the teller's window
in one of the big banks down town few
DAYS ago. "Mr. wants it for his wife" I"
Certainly" replied the teller, recogniz-
ing in the applicant the confidential clerk of
one of the banks heaviest depositors The
money was handed out in clean, crisp tens
and fves that had never been in circulation.
After the young man had gone, the teller re-
marked to the writer: "That new-money fad
is on the increase, Just as soon as a man
begins to feel little tony he gets the notion
that no member of his family ought to
handle the soiled and crumpled currency in
general circulation. When the madam
goes a-shopping she must have her purse
filled with brand new bills. Many
persons explain their mania for
new money on the theory that there
is contagion in the much-nandled bills.
They seek to keep disease away from their
family circle by excluding, to as full an
extent as possible, all money that has been
in circulation. They keep supply of new
bills of various denominations constantly on
hand, and the ladies of the household feel
that they are thus we'll protected against
contagion."
Most of the new money is procured
directly from the banks, but there are fire.
quent individual applications at the sub
Treasury for new bills and new coin.
When the sub-Treasury has an abundance
of small denomination bills on hand such
applications are unhesitatingly complied
with.

was always splendid energy and grace.
Even in our own time the centaur is famil-
lar character Maurice de Guerin, the
French poet devoted long and beautiful
work 10 him. The centaur, in fact, like the
fawn, the nymph, the satyr, and many other
NEUROLOGICAL creatures, is recognized as a
legitimate imaginative property" of which
every poet is at liberty to make free use.
There is one condition, however, in which
the centaur will not be accepted, and that is
without his forelegs. Deprived of these
supports, ne is groveling, miserable beast,
of no beauty whatever. OF him one old
poet saws:
The Onocentaur is a monstrous beast;
Supposed half man, and half an Asse,
That never shuts his eyes in quiet rest.

Such were the centaures in their tyrannie,
That liv'd by Humane flesh and villainie.
A four-footed beast that has always
seemed fabulous is the unicorn. Pausing to
notice its likeness to the rhinoceros, of
which we give an illustration, we may re-
mark that proofs of the authenticity of this
animal have existed. Does not Paul Hentz-
ner, a writer of Elizabeth's time, declare
that at Windsor he was shown, among other
things, the horn Of an unicorn of above

ABOUT M0THERS-IN-LAW.
The Ways Different Nationalities Treat the

The Ways Different Nationalities Treat the
Same Subject.
Perhaps the most singular instance of the
way in which different people regard the
same thing, says Spare Moments, is the
manner in which mothers-in-law are treated
in various parts of the earth. In France
they are esteemed; in Britain they are the
undeserved theme of much cheap wit and
some very material antipathy. Among
many Indian tribes it is in the highest de-
gree improper for a mother-in-law to speak
to her daughters husband. If she finds it
necessary 10 communicate with him, 1t is
etiquette that she should turn her back, and
address him through the medium of third
person.
Others carry this conventionality so far as
to prevent the father-in-law from holding
any conversation with his son-in-law, and
among the wild Kalmucks woman would
be suffused with crimson were she asked to
speak to her husbands father, or to sit down
in his august presence.

STANLEY AND THE SIOUX.

How the Explorer Once Helped Disrobe a
Mummy of an Indian Maiden-t Was
Risky Business, for Scalping Might
Have Resulted-Indian Burials.
In a recent interview the incident of
Henry NJ. Stanley's part in disrobing the
mummifed body of an Indian maiden in
1867 while with the Indian Peace Commits
sioners was given SO briefly and hurriedly as
to put the matter, perhaps, In disadvan-
tageous light, saws writer in the St. Louis
Post Dispatch. 1t is we'll known that the
various bands of the Sioux tribe followed
the custom of disposing of their dead by
placing them on scaffolds and in the
branches of trees when available, to prevent
them being devoured by dogs and the
coyotes or prairie wolves, the hyenas of the
Western plains.
The first We saw of this method of burial
was at Fort Laramie. Chaplain Wright
kindly furnished Stanley and the writer
with comfortable room and one day he
piloted us two or three miles above the fort
to Deer Creek, an affiuent of the Laramie
river where, in a large grove of cottonwoods,
he pointed out some 10 or II skeletons o. In
dams, grated, as it were, on the trees. The
bodies were wrapped in blankets and buffalo
robes and deposited in a sort of trough made
OF poles, the ends of which were fastened to
limbs at height of about II feet from the
ground. Mr.. Wright pointed out the wrap
pings of Chiefs daughter that had been re-
posing for many years undisturbed in a
large cottonwood tree, and we began our
archaeological explorations. The chaplain
returned to the fort after reminding US that
our sealps would not be safe should stray
Indian happen along, as they held it as the
highest desecration TO disturb their dead.
The Indian maiden was found wrapped in
a bundle of cerements composed of the skin
of an antelope. plaid shawl, several pat
terms of colored calico prints, and over all
was bound buffalo robe, tied with thongs
OF bulls hide. The face was not unpleasant,
though the skin and flesh were shrunken to
the bone, presenting the appearance of an
Egyptian mummy, the dry climate pro-
ducing an embalming effect. The wrappiugs
were restored to the condition in which they
were found, and Stanley brought away a
ring from one of the toes, and myself a nice
ly worked figure with porcupine quilts on
the buffalo robe, which soon after was cast
away in disgust. So that, our curiosity be-
ing appeased, it did not amount to case Of
body-snatching.
