According to the legend, Vishnu the

stroyer, was changed by Maya into the
stone, through the hole of which the
Destroyer as worm wound his way,
says the Popular Science Monthly. The
Italian salagrana is Il stalagnite, which
is believed by the people, on account of
its resemblance to the little mounds
thrown up by 'earthworms, to be n such
n mound pctriticd. They carry it in n
red bag, along with certain magical
herbs, and pronounce over it an incan-
tation to the effect that the irregulari-
ties and cavities in it have the property
of bcwildering the evil and depriving it
OF its power. The author was informed
by believers in such things that any.

In the Morse mythology, Odin as n
worm bored his head through stone
in order to get ut ''thc mead OF poetry"
Hence all stones with holes in them are
known as Odin stones, also as ''holy
stones" and are much used at the north
as amulets. Hung at the head of the
bed, they are supposed to drive away

ment About to Charge.
Suddenly. shrill and clear, the bugle
sounded the garde n vous. and n trcmor
shook the two regiments. The swear
ing and grumbling ceased, and a dead
iilencc seemed to fall on the ranks.
The men swung themselves into the
saddle, refined their horses into lire and
waited. ~ few officers gallopcd along
the front, an order passed down the
Inc, and the mounted, breasted
mass moved forward out of the shadow
into the sun. AS of their own accord,
the squadrons deployed and again
waited. A staff officer rode down tho
front and waved his kept.
"Boys!' he cried, "thc country needs
you. You arc going to charge. Ahead
OF YOU are ten thousand bayonets
glory, and death. Behind you, our
shattered right wing. You must save
them, cost what it may. Good-by,
boys Go it as your fathers did at
Waterloo"
"All right, general! We; haven't for
gotten how the old fellows charged"
The next moment the hoarse cry of Vivc
Ia France! rang from one thousand two
hundred throats.
And then again there was pause.
Several horsemen wheeled into place in
their respective positions. a half
ineligible order rippled through the
ranks. The bugle sounded. The lines
oscillated, and instinctivcly the squad
rons chose their ground. The front
moved ahead, and the long diagonal
shranll into column. Then again they
halted for n moment, and the first
bullets, fired from too great distance
to do any harm, rang against the steel
cuirasses with dull swinging, melan-
choly sound.
Saint Brissac reached over and shook
Sargcnt's hand-and they were off.
Twelve hundred swords flashed from
their scabbards and cast bar sinister
of shadow across the golden shield of
the FURNISHED cuirnsses; and the long
horsetails strcamed out behind the star
of light that sat upon each mans he'll
met.

How the Presidents Time Will
BE Occupied
Between Now and the Presi-
dental Election.

Owing to Mrs. Harrison's Illness the
Contemplated Two-EI onths' Stay at
Cape May Has been Abandoned--Will
Visit Chicago in October When the
Worlds Fair Buildings are Dedicated.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Private Sec
rotary Halford is back at his White
House desk after brief stay at the sea-
shore. He says the reports received
from Mrs Harrison were very encourag-
ing Mr.. Halford also said that the ill
ness of Mrs. Harrison has made it neces-
sary to abandon the contemplated stay
of two months at the Cape May cottage,
and such outing as the president has
will be taken at Loon lake.
Mr.. Harrison will return in time to
take part in the Grand Army encamp-
ment, which occurs in Washington
about the middle of September.
About the time this closes the presi-
dent will be making his arrangements
for going to Chicago, where he will ded-
icate the worlds fair building in Octo-
Der. His acceptance of the invitation
has already been given, but this is mere
~ formallty, as the law imposes on
the president the duty of formally ac-
cepting the building 1t is expected
that Secretaries j. w. Foster, Elkins,
Rusk, Tracy and Attorney General
Miller will accompany the president to
Chicago No arrangements for the
Chicago trip have as yet been made as it
is supposed here that the Chicago
worlds fair officials will arrange the de-
tails. The president expects to remain
in Chicago for two days.
While he is in the west it is probable
that he will make flying tour through
Indiana, Michigan and perhaps Wis
consin. Senator Mcmillan, chairman of
the Michigan state central committee,
has already urged the president to spend
few days in Michigan. On this trip
he will make no political speeches, Of
course.
Mr.. Harrison expects to be at his In
dianapolis home the later part of Oc-
tober. He will return to Washington
shortly before the election and will re-
ceive the election returns at the White
House.

DR.. GEORGES ARREST.
The Governor of MARYLAND Makes All
Reparation Possible.

Reparation Possible.
WASHINGTON, Aug. II. - Attorney
General Poe, of Maryland, called upon
Secretary of State Foster Tuesday, and
handed him the report of Governor
Brown, of Maryland, in regard to the
arrest of DR., Georg, attache of the
Swiss legation, who was arrested at Bay
Ridge, Md, charged with appropriating a
purse of a Mrs. Borde, of Baltimore.
Governor Brown after reciting the facts
in the case says:
at is clear that under the accusation,
for which there was not the slightest
color of excuse, DIR. Georg has been
subjected to gross indignity. I'm
fortunately it is not within my power
to mark my condemnation of this
indignity by any punishment further
than by calling for the prompt dismissal
of the officer, Deputy Sheriff Lowman,
who made the arrest, whose blunder was
the occasion of this most deplcrable
incident.
This I have DONE" continues Gov
ernor Brown, land he has been dis
charged from the service of the sheriff
and of the Bay Ridge authorities, and
will not be reinstated." Governor
Brown asks that DR.. Georg and the
Swiss legation be aware of his official
action in the matter and at the same
time to express his profound regret at
the unfortunate occurrence and his in
ability to offer DR.. Georg any further
redress or reparation for the affront to
which he has been subjected.
In conclusion Governor Brown says
that under the laws of Maryland the
governor has no power to punish the
officer who made the arrest further than
by dismissing him from office.
