origin OF Mermaid stories.

The dugong. species of whale found
abundantly in the waters of both the
great oceans, but especially of the
coast Of Australia in the Pacific, is be-
lieved to have furnished the slender
basis upon which all mermaids AMI
mermen stories have been founded. Its
average length Is from eight to twenty
feet. 1t has hand much resembling
that OF the human species, and breathes
by means Of lungs. 1t feeds upon sub
marine seaweeds, and when wounded
makes noise like a mad bull. Long
hair in the female species and hair and
beard in the male add to the resem-
blance of the head and deck. The flesh
OF this species OF whale Is used for food.
and Is said to have the flavor of bacon,
mutton or beef, according to the part
OF the body from which the meat Is
taken. Orleans Picayune.

A Cranky idea.

We believe in taxing every man
fully up to his ability to bear it. Tax
him for all the property he has, or all
the common sense he hasn't, for all the
luxuries he enjoys, and for all he don't
enjoy. says the Germantown Telegraph.
Grumbling Is one of the luxuries which
only farmers can fully appreciates; he
has 80 many things to grumble about.
and to grumble ut, and makes 1t such
nm important item OF his social stand
ing, and then 1t is so annoying to his
cattle, hoga hens, family and neigh
bors. that he can we'll afford to pay.
And we hopo to SEQ the day when
grumblors will pay all the taxes re-
quircd to run tho government to pay
OF the national debt to support anti
grumblers themselves. their heirs and
assigns forever. There nre enough OF
thcm to do It all easily.

SUFFERING CONTAGIOUS.


So Pronounced by High Scientific Author
tiles In Germany.
Some alarm has been created In Ger
many by the recent publication OF the
official report and statistics OF education
which show that among the children
now attending the public schools In
Emperor Williams dominions there are
no less than eighty thousand afflicted
with the defect of speech known rs
stammering. The city Of Bresau alone
contributes quota OF twenty four hun
dred suffering children to the total;
and in some places the number OF STAN
merers attains the large proportion Of
10 per cent OF the school attendance.
Realizing the growth as we'll rs the
gravity OF the mischief, the German
government has for some months past
devoted considerable attention to thu
subject and has gathered together
much interesting information about the
matter. The most valuable report Is
that contributed by Mr.. Gutzmann. so
well-known throughout the world for
his successful teachings OF deaf mutes,
and whose absence from the interna-
tional convention OF instructors of deaf
mutes recently in New York was mat
ter Of sincere regret 70 tho delegates
According to DR.. Gutzmann, whose
report has been adopted and published
by the German government, involun-
tary mimicry plays a great part in
suffering. Like yawning, it is catch.

more initiative, the more apt it is to
imbibe any defects OF speech on the
part of those by whom 1t is surround
ed. Conclusive evidence OF the con-
tagious nature OF stammering is TO be
found in the fact that the number OF
Sufferers in school increases steadily
as the children pass upward from class
to class. In the public schools OF
Berlin. for instance, the number OF
stammerers among the children in the
lowest class was 0.52 Of the total force
of the class. This proportion rose from
year to year, as the children passed up
ward in the educational scale, until in
the highest class the percentage was
discovered to be 1.61. or more than
bHTco tlIucS Ill6 HuIuDeT lOuTu when
the same children were IN the lowest
class.
Comprehending that it would be
only with special care and particular
precaution on the part of the teachers
that the public schools could be pre-
vented from becoming centers for the
propagation OF the grave defect OF
suffering, the German government
has encouraged DR.. Gutzmann to
start special course of scientific in.
struction for public school-teachers
showing them how to deal with the
stammerers; and the public schools in
all parts Of Germany have now sent
teachers to Berlin for the purpose OF
acquiring DR.. Gutzmann's method. So
satisfied is the emperor with the latter
that he has taken leading part in
securing its general adoption by all
the educational institutions in his do.

Many years ago there lived in an
eastern land q man who was con-
sidefed both prominent and rich.
When he died. however, it was found
his possessions were very slight indeed.
In his will among some triffling legacies
was the following:
'Of the three young men who con-
slider themselves my children have q
just claim to one alone. will not say
who the rightful heir Is, but have left
the matter to the decision OF the cadi.
In his possession is 1000 pieces OF
gold which will be given to my true
child, after he has proven his claim. "
The three reputed sons at once re-
paired to the cadi. He thereupon
handed each Of them q gold ring, say
ing:
Take this ring and go about in the
world and seek your fortunes. Use
the jewel as talisman, watch over it,
preserveit, and after three years return
TO me. will then announce who is
the true son Of his father, and deliver
to him the 1000 pieces OF gold"

appeared in different directions amid
the crowded haunts OF men. They
never crossed each others path nor
heard of one another. but at the ap-
pointed time again made their appear
