In the Mountains of Greece there was
great cave, and in that cave lived
man who was half horse. He had the
head, and breast of a man, but horses
body and legs. He was famed for
knowing more about everything than
any one else IN all Greece. He knew
about the stars. and the plants CT earth.
which were good for medicine, and
which We're poisonous. He was the best
archer with the bow, and the best player
of the harp, he knew most songs and
stories of old times, for he was the last
of people half-horse and Mailman,
who dwelt in ancient times on the hills.
Therefore, the Kings in Greece sent
their sons to him to be taught shooting,
singing, and telling the truth, and that
was all the teaching they had then, ex-
cept that they learned to hunt, and fish,
and fight. aud throw spears, and tosss
the hammer, and the stone. Many
the boys taught by Chiron became f
nous. Among them was Orpheus, who
played the harp so sweetly that wild
beasts followed his minstrelsv, and even
the trees danced after him, and settled
where he stopped playing; and there
was Mopsus, who could understand
what the birds say 10 each other; and
there was Butes, the handsomest of
men; and Tiphys, the best steersman
of a ship; and Castor, with his brother
Polydeuces, the boxer; and Heracles,
the strongest man in the whole world
was there; and Lynceus, whom they
call Keen-eye, because lie could see so
far, and he could see the dead men in
their graves under the earth; and there
was Euphemus, so swift and light-footed
that he could run upon the gray sea,
and never wet his feet; and there were
Calais and Zetes, the two sons of the
North Wind, with golden wings upon
their feet; and many others were there
whose names it would be too long to
tell. They all grew up together in the
hills, good friends, healthy. and brave,
and strong.-Andre,v Lang, in st.

Hoards of the Vikings.

Further news OF the finding of hoard
Of oriental treasure in cave in the Island
of Skye. near the northwestern coast of
Scotland, has just been received. Among
the treasures are seventeen oriental silver
coins of the class known as Cutie, about
the size of a form, and minted at the
time when the seat of the Mohammedan
caliphate was at Cufa or Bagdad.
The psychologists are trying to account
for the curious fact of the existence of
these oriental treasures in a cave Of one
of the isles of northern Scotland. The
time of their concealment, 1000 years
ago, was that in which the Vikings and
sea rovers were in the height of their
glory. At this period there was much
commercial intercourse between the
Asiatic countries lying to the east of the
Caspian sea and the countries bordering
on the Baltic, the route being by the
Volga to the north OF Russia. The Vik-
ings were traders as well as plunderers,
and when they could not plumber they
traded. always striving to convert all
booty into silver, which was then the
universal medium of exchange.
1t was in the way thus indSated that
the Baltic Vikings got hold of the silver
coins and jewelry from far Asiatic coun-
tries. The long ships. of these rovers
were then sweeping the North sea, turn
ing into the Atlantic, and operating on
the west coast of England and Scotland,
as we'll as on the Irish coast. They were
especially active at times in the region
of the Hebrides, and it was doubtless
some of them who buried in a cave in
the Island of Skye the treasures that
have been found after q thousand years
Of concealment.-[W Washington Star.
