The Indians believe that il the stiffness

any careless word the spirits Of the place
will be offended In the days of the
early settlers, we are told, q white woman
had occasion to cross Lake Saratoga, and
the Indians, who were TO row her across,
warned her of tho danger that one rash
word might bring; but of course, being
white woman, she was superior to all
such superstitious notions.
1t was calm, cloudless day, and the
canoe sped like an arrow across the
smooth waters. Suddenly, when in the
middle of the lake, the strong minded
woman determined to prove to these
simple folk the folly of their belief So
she lifted up her voice in a wild cry that
woke every echo of the hills.
The Indians were filed with consterna-
ton. They uttered no word, but, strain
ing every nerve, rowed on in frowning
silence. They reached the shore in
safety. and the woman triumphed; but
the Mohawk chief looked upon her in
scorn. "The Great Spirit is merciful,"
he said; che knows that the white wo-
man cannot hold her e."-Youth's

Natural Inequality Of Men.

Thus men are certainly not born free
and equal in natural qualities; when they
are born the predicates Gree and
'equap' in the political sense are not APP
plicable to them, and as they develop,
year by year, the differences in the politi-
cal potentialities with which they really
are born become more and more obvious
ly converted into actual differences the
inequality of political faculty shows it,
self to be a necessary consequence of the
inequality Of natural faculty.
1t is probably true that the earliest men
were nomads. But among body Of
naked, wandering savages, though there
may be no verbally recognized distinc-
lions of rank or office, superior strength
and cunning confer authority OF more

Abbey guaranteed him 500, 900 for fifty

could not work In more than forty-four

as though he had sung fifty times. --Chi-

LOVING a sToNs.
A German Legend OF How . Serpent
brought a Diamond to q king.

German Legend OF How Serpent
brought a Diamond to King.
When the German Kaiser Karl lived.
at Zurich, according to an old legend, he
dwelt in house called seThe Hole, /. In
front Of which he caused pillar to be
erected with bell on the top Of II, to
the end that whoever demanded justice
should have the means Of announcing
himself. One day as he sat at dinner In
his house he heard the bell ring, and sent
out his servants to bring the claimant
before him. But they could find no one.
A second and third time the bell rang,
but still no human being was to be seen.
AT length the kaiser himself went forth,
and he found a large serpent, which had
twined itself round the shaft of the pillar
and was then in the very act Of pulling
the bell rope.
"This is Gods will, said the monarch.
''Let the brute be brough before me. ]
may deny justice to none of Gods crest
ures, man or BEAST
The serpent was accordingly uahered
into the imperial presence. and the kaiser
spoke to 1t as he would to one Of hia own
kind, gravely asking what it required.
The serpent made most courteous rev.
erence and signaled in It's own dumb
way for him to follow. He did 80, ;ac-
oompanied by his court. and thecreature
led them TO the shores of the lake where
1t had its nest. Arrived there the kaiser
soon saw the cause Of heserpentsssseek-
ing him, for its nest. which was full pf
eggs, was occupied by a hideus toadsof
monstrous proportions.
LET the toad be flung into the fire.
said tho monarch, land let the serpent
have the possession OF the nest reatofed
to it."
Three days after, as the kaiser again
sat at dinner, he was surprised at the APP
pearance of the serpent, which this time
glided into the hall unannounced.
What does this mean?'' thought the
kaiser.
The reptile approached the table, and
raising itself on Its tail dropped from its
mouth into an empty plate which stood
beside the monarcha precious diamond.
It then silently disappeared. This dia-
naond the kaiser caused to be set In "a
costly ring, which he presented to HIS
wife, the much beloved Fastrada.
Now, this stone had the virtue Of At
