The meaning of the evil eye, the
"Ophthalmos baskanos" of the Greeks,
the 'fascinare" of the Romans, was
probably far more than a vulgar super
stition. We find traces of it in almost
every country, notably to this day
among the canny Scots who inhabit the
western isles of the sea, of "Ulva dark
and Colonsay," of Skye and the Heb
rides; and among the Turks, who dis
trust the evil eye of the stranger. But
in old classical days the power seems
chiefly to have been used for the pur.
pose Of grievously affecting the live
stock of disagreeable neighbors.
So we find to this day in Ireland,
parts of Scotland and the west of Eng
land, where this belief is still prevalent.
Certainly, in some form or other, mes
meric fascination by the eye has always
been known; but that any one person,
with no matter how evil an eye, should
be able to charm frightened animals to
any extent or number is ridiculous, and
not seriously TO be entertained for a
moment.-Chambers' Journal.

life has been taken-yot such is the
ornament which decorates the private
Office of Charles lie Barber, one of the
younger criminal lawyers of this city.
The deodand is a broken handled
razor, upon the blade of which is the
blood of the victim in whose throat
the keen blade was buried again and
again. Within the neat frame which
incloses the blood stained razor is a
photograph of an Italian man and
woman. Below the photograph is the

Washington News,

Washington News" is a private
street running from University place to
Fifth avenue in New York, in the rear
of the fashionable homes fronting
Washington square. The name per
haps occurs nowhere else in the city, if,
indeed, it is to be found in any other
American town. The word "mew" has
an odd and interesting history. 1t
means primarily to change, then to
mOlt, or shed feathers, as birds do at
certain seasons. Then the noun came
to mean the place where hawks were
kept while molting, then to mean a
cage, and finally, since hawks were kept
in and about the stables, to mean any
stable The term is still common
enough in English towns. All the
houses bordering Washington news are
either stables or the homes of servants.
