Hardening the Drain.

While we were waiting at the depot in
asmall town in Arkansas, a colored wo-
man came up and asked if any oneof the
six white men was a doctor. Ono of
them proved to be, and she rolled her
check apron in her hands in a fussy way
and asked if he wouldn't list step ober
to de cabin an see what allied her ole
man," He found that he had time, and
said he would go, and two or three of us
went along to see what we could see. AS
we drew near the cabin the woman halt
ed us and said:
"I'ze bin all de doctah he's had, an TIE
willin' to allow dat l might her made
some mistakes. When he was fust TOKEN
l gin him turnip seed tea. Was dat right,
d~octall?"
81 guess So"
"Later on l changed to a poultice OF
wild onions. Was dat right
cit might have BEEN"
"Den l soaked his feet in hot water wild
wood wood ashes in it., an put Il mus.
tard poultice on de back of his neck"
EYES,"
"Den he allowed lie felt wuss, an SO !
changed de mustard to his stomach an
soaked his head. He dun complained
all the mawnin', an now lie got mustard
OH his feet, a poultice on dc middle,
horse raGish on his neck, an he's takin'
sassafras tea to warm up de inside"
"Well!'
"Wall, if dcre's been any mistake,
doan' let on to de ole man. Just skip it
ODER"
We went in and the doctor examined
the patient and found he had a broken
rib, and told him what tc do for it. As
We left the cabin the woman followed us
out and exclaimed:
"Fo' de Lawd, doctah. but what bless
in dat you dun come along! was dun
doctorin' de ole man fur softenin' of de
brain, an if 1 hadn't cotched you today
| was dun gwine to try to harden 'em UP

Among the hardest things to get uset
to in India are the scorpions. They in,
fest everything, and one gets as used tt
turning out ones shoes in the morning
as to waking up. In calling on one Of
my colaborers shortly after my arriva
in India, spoke of the scorpion nuisance
and he casually remarked, "Well, yes, ]
suppose you think SO; but you will &c,
used to them. l killed thirty this morn.
ing, and thought it a poor morning 70,
scorpions, too"
Snakes are pretty bad, too, and it's
not so easy to get used to them. Cobras
have a lingering tenderness for ones
bathroom. The reason is natural. Few
things are cool in India, and the bath
room is about the coolest place in the
house. 1 very nearly stepped on one
coiled up in my bathroom one morning.
1t darted into a hole near by and part Of
its tail stuck out. l offered one of the
natives about the house four annas te
pull it. He took the money and notonly

Derivation of the Word Magician.

Many of the supcrstitious observances
and ideas common among the Greeks
and Romans, and some of which sur
vived till later times, were originally de-
rived from Egypt and Persia. These
countries, with Chaldea and Arabia, ap-
pear to have formed fountain of knowl-
edge to mankind, either truthful or con-
sistent with nature, or altogether vain
and delusive. At a period fully 1900
years before Christ Persia and the ada
cent regions of B~aby1onia and Chaldea
were inhabited by a comparatively
learned people. Persia in particular was
distinguished for its wise men or magi,
whose knowledge of geometry, astron-
omy and other branches of science be.

of dealing with beings of a supernatural
order. Thus from the general appella.

rise, and was deemed equivalent to that

ent; but ten years later it was Joined to
the diocese of London again, and many
of its estates appropriated to the repairs
of st. Paul's cathedral. One hundred
years later, in 1910, we find in "Outland,
ish Proverbs" selected by Mr.. George
Herbert, priest and poet of classic re-
nown, the subject of II of Walton's
Lives, the proverb altered and set forth
as follows: "Give not St. Peter so much,
to leave st. Paul nothing" This proverb
is quoted by Francis Rabelais early in
the Sixteenth century. Upon the death
of William Pitt, earl of Chatham, in
177s, each of the metropolitan cemeteries
laid claim to the honor of burial. The
city of London argued that so great a
statesman as William Pitt should be
buried in st. Pauls, while parliament
took the ground that the dust Of so great
a man as lie should come near to the
dust of kings, and that not to bury him
in Westminster abbey would again be
"robbing st. Peter to pay st. Paul.

Shell Deposits in Maine.

Ever since the whites settled the coast
of Maine numerous deposits of shells of
both the clam and oyster have been dis
covered from time to time. These shells
We're found either on the coast itself or
on the banks of rivers not far from the
sea. The oyster shell heaps on the west
ern bank of the Damariscotta river early
attracted the wonder of the settlers, and
became, many years ago, celebrated
throughout the surrounding region.
A mile above the village of Damaris-
Gotta indications of shells appear on the
river banks. From the point of their
first appearance the shells are in small
and struggling heaps. AS one ascends
the river, however, the heaps become
larger and the intervals between them
become shorter. Soon continuous white
mass of shells appears, extending several
hundred feet along the river. The mass
assumes the form of bluffs whose tops
are covered with trees and shrubbery,
but whose precipitous faces have never
been covered, but have been kept ex-
posed by the erosive action of the tides
and by the frosts of amending years.
Exact dimensions of these deposits can
not be given for reason that no extensive
mining of the shells has ever been under
taken. They occupy a peninsula of sew
eral acres area.-Boston Globe.

Real gobelin tapestry is hard to find in
the dry goods stores. Much is sold as
gobelin tapestry that is not genuine.
Gobelin has quite a history, and gave a
new word to u vocabulary. A Elem.
ish painter named Gluck found n process
for dyeing a beautiful and n very pecul.
lar scarlet, and sold it to Giles Gobelin,
who built a factory in France, where he
made tapestries and cloths of this pecul-
lar color. Everybody looked on him rs
. crank, and his factory was always
spoken of as "Gobelin's Folly" but he
made a go of it, and his success was so
great that those superstitious old folks
supposed he was aided by the devil. The
devil vas supposed to have taught him
the art of dyeing scarlet on condition
that at a certain time the devil was to
have him.
When the time was up the devil came
after him, and caught him going through
~ yard at night with a little piece of
lighted candle in his hand. Gobelin
begged for time. but the devil wouldn't
let him have it. At last Gobelin re-
quested his satanic majesty to wait until
the bit of candle in his hand burned out,
and the devil consented. The willy old
Gobelin, as soon as he got this concession,
threw the candle into the well and
pitched the devil in after it. Tho devil
was very angry, but before he could get
out Gobelin gathered a guard of enthu-
sl1sts about him and secured himself
from any further attacks.
Now, for the new word. From this
story came the word goblin" ghost
or specter, and it has become one of the
words of the language, but it had its
origin in this silly story that was told
about the man who first made these
tapestries.-St. Louis POST Dispatch.
