It is wonderful how every little duty and necessity of every day life is sur rounded with halo of charm and legend ary lore Some things seem so simple and practical that we imagine that noth- ing of weird description can possibly be associated with them. yet in many in- stances the simpler the operation the greater the affinity it appears to have for things supernatural.
 Offhand, we should say that washing cannot be invested with any romance, but old wives will tell us otherwise. Woe betide the person that dares to wash his or her hands in the same basin of water that has been or will be used by another individuall They will be sure to quarrel. Or, again, if you wipe your hands upon the same towel and at the same time with another person, you and that person will at some period of your lifetime go begging together.
 The late Cuthbert Bede, however, tells us that he was informed in Ruthland- shire that these dreadful things would not happen provided you first made the sign of the cross oyer the water Another curious thing, too. m connection with this is that the quarrel only supervened when basin of water was used. You might wash together in running stream as often as you pleased and no ill effeei would come of 1t. Chambers Journal

Ancient American Cloths.

The Mexicans spun and wove cotton, and the Peruvians both cotton and wool, into fabrics which the Spaniards found in every way equal to anything they had known at home The Peruvians, in particular, were adopts in the art. When Pizarro made the conquest of their country in 1533, he found in the empire of the Incas four species of an imals little different from each other, which he called the sheep of the country (carneros de h terrah because of their general resemblance to the Spanish sheep, and the similar utilization of its fiber
 Two of the species, the llama and alpaca, had been in state of domestica- tion from time immemorial, the remain ing varieties, the vicuna and the guam aca, living in wild state in the fast nesses of the Andes. From variety of sources we are able to obtain minute de- tails of the importance which the gov ernment attached to these animals, and the large part which they played in the domestic economy of the country s.

 The orign Of testaments IS lost m ob- scurity. but doubtless they followed soon after the first institution of private prop erty. Eusebius says that Noah made a will soon after the flood wherein he dis posed of the whole world. He was cer- tainly possessed of considerable landed estate. but Eusebius' story of the testa- ment in writing and witnessed under his seal needs confirmation.
 In the forty-eighth chapter of Genesis. however, we do find mention of will, wherein Jacob bequeathed to his son Jo- seph twice as much as to his other chil- dren. This was not testament in writ. ing, but verbal or 'nuncupative" testa. ment, declared by the testator ''in ex- tremis" before witnesses, and depending upon oral testimony.
 Such ''nuncupative" testaments were at one lime recognized in English law. but in the eighteenth century Black slone says tlsey were fallen into disuse, and hardly ever heArd of.-All the Year Round9

Cranky Hen.

Men are often more fussy and par ticular about insignificant things than women. There are thousands of men in New York who go miles out of their way to get shaved. I know men who come down on the elevated, i, and who get off kt some intermedi- ate point to patronize favorite bar Der. They have done 80 for years. The array of private cups in any shop illustrates the strength of this shaving habit. When busy business man will sit halt an hour in one of these shops and tumble and fash papers while he waits for his particular ton. sorial artist to be at liberty, it strenthens the conviction that he is weaker than woman. The man who doesn't learn to shave himself while bis heard is young is laying up life of slavery to public barbers
 In the course of an ordinary long lifetime he will spend about three years sitting around barber shop and year or two more going and coming New York Herald.
