The "Nixy" of Germany.

The Milky" of Germany has by some
been supposed traceable to "Old Nick"
but this is not probable, since St. Nicholas
has been the patron saint of sailors for
many centuries. 1t was during the time
of the Crusades that a vessel on the way to
the Holy Land was in great peril, and st.
Nicholas assuaged the tempest by his
prayers. Since then he has been sup
posed to be the protector Of mariners,
even as Neptune was in ancient times.
The German Milky was no doubt later
form of the old Morse water god, Mike.
You meet with him again in another
form in Neckan, the soulless. The
'Nixy" along the Baltic coast was once,
however, much feared by the fishermen.
1t was the same spirit which appears as
the Kelpie in Scotland-a water demon
causing sudden floods to carry away the
unwary. Generally speaking, however,
Mikes may be described as descendants of
the Maids of ancient times, and as some
what resembling the Russian Rusalkas,
of which the peasantry live in SO much
dread.
A Russian peasant, it is said, is so afraid
of the water spirits that he will not battle
without cross around his neck nor ford a
stream on horseback without signing a
cross on the water with scythe or knife.
In some parts these water spirits are
supposed to be the transformed souls of
Pharaoh and his host, and the number is
always being increased by the sodden souls
of those who drown themselves.

Melrose Abbey,

Scotland's celebrated ruin, Melrose alb
hey, was founded in 1136 by David and
completed in LAG, and dedicated to the Vir-
gin Mary. In 1922 it was destroyed by the
English army of Edward II, but it was soon
rebuilt by Robert Bruce in style of mag
nificence which ranks it among the most
perfect ecclesiastical constructions in the
best age of Gothic architecture. In 1885,
and again in 1915, it suffered at the hands
of the English armies. and during the Ref
ormation many of it's choicest sculptures
were mutilated. In later times many of
the stones have been taken away to use in
other buildings, but the church remains
and a part of the cloister and choir. These
show plainly the original beauty of the
building AS an abbey the history of Mel
rose is but meager. It's first occupants
were Cistercian monks. In it's line of alb
bots there was but one saint-St. Waltheof.
King Alexander II was buried within its
walls at his own request. Bruce left it the
legacy of his heart.

Coins Bearing Dogs.

There is an important group of about
forty coins containing outlines of dogs,
which deserve careful study. The Fan
ciers' Journal says concerning them: "The
interest of some of them is mainly myth
ical, as with LBlaps, then hounds of Ac-
taeon presented to Cephalos by Procris, or
with the dog of Segeste, which symbolized
the river Crimisus
1.-THE coins afford no evidence of the de-
velopment of spaniel there being no ex-
ample of pendulous ear, or of mastiff,
though bulldogs were undoubtedly known
in the arenas of imperial Rome. But
they prove conclusively that the ancients
had four kinds of dogs-the wolfdog, the
hounds, the greyhound and the terrier.
The Umbrians had their wolfhounds, the
Apulians of Asculum their greyhounds.
the more rugged hunters of the Tuscan
forests their foxdogs. The favorite dog
of Artemis Lephria, as on coins of Patrae
and Sparta, was a greyhound, while Ac-
irons dogs must have been half bred deer
hounds. Rhegium, if the coins may be
trusted, had his sheepdogs; the Macedo-
MAN city of Mendaits terriers, and Cumae,
just above the bay of Naples, to which all
the luxuries of the ancient world were
brought, it's poodles."

HOW "Protection" PROTECTS.

According to the July report of the
superintendent of the census, the amount
of mortgage debt Of the farms and homes
of the country is $2,565, 10000. Based
upon this report the st. Louis Republic
made the following estimates:
II all the real and personal property
of Missouri, all its lands, houses, rail
roads, cattle, grain, stocks, farms, bonds,
promissory notes, merchandise and other
property of all kinds was sold at auction
for its total assessed value in 1890 it
would take more than three times as
much to pay this debt. In taking the
states in alphabetical order in 1890, if
they had been sold for the total assessed
value of all their real and personal prop
erty, the proceeds of the sales of Ala
bama, Arkansas, California, Colorado,
Connecticut, Delaware, Florida and
Georgia would have been only 1885,
100000; $40, 900 less than the amount
Of this mortgage debt imposed upon the
farms and homes of the country under
the past legislation of the Republican
party. The annual interest on this debt
at 10 per cent. would be 1886, 900, 900. Ii
the state of Alabama had been sold at
a1s assessed value in 1890, including all
personal property, there would still have

distribution of the Protected Bonus.

Distribution of the Protected Bonus.
Hon. Roswell G.. Horn said some time
ago in the New York Tribune that ''the
tariff is levied in the first place simply
to enable the people of the United States
to pay the high wages everywhere pre-
vailing in this country" Yes. it may
enable some of our manufacturers to
pay higher wages, but they seldom do
SO. They have other uses for the bonus
which protection puts into their pockets
some of it goes for castles in Europe
and some to hire Pinkertons to compel
workmen to accept lower wages, but
the largest portion of all is invested in
lands, stocks and first mortgage bonds
to enrich the tariff beneficiaries and an.
mex them to our army of millionaires,
which has increased 10000 per cent.
since high protection began thirty years
ago. The portion that reaches the wage
earners, even in second handed way,
could be carried with safety in tissue
paper purse. Perhaps Mckinley was
right when he said at Providence last
April that 'no one ever claimed that
protective tariffs were intended to in
crease wages" 1t was only intended,
as Mr.. Horn explained, to enable higher
wages to be paid. There is a sharp dis
tinction here which has caused consid-
cradle misunderstanding. 1t will be
well for wage earners to make note of
it for future use.

The PERFECT PEARL.

Its Beauty Delights Every Taste-Fa-
nous Pearls of the World.
Pearls have ever been among the most
priced of gems, especially among the
young AS seed pearls they have always
been available for decoration and orna-
ment, and a dress sewed over with seed
pearls is about the most beautiful thing in
the way of embroidery we know. Then
they are so beautiful They marry them
selves' so well to youth and beauty-to
fair flesh and lovely forms-of the most
regal as well as of the most spiritual kind.
THE pearl is jewel so perfect that its ex-
cellent beauty demands the love and es-
TEEN of the whole universe" 1.-THE pos
session of the pearl is one of loves greatest
delights" says an old author 1.-THE de-
light of possessing it suffices to feed love-"
Of pearls there is SO much to be said
that the natural result will be brevity.
The most famous anecdotes, as of Cleo
patra; of the portrait of Pompey wrought
in pearls, 'that costly superfluity invented
for women" the pearl necklace for which
Marcus Aurelius seems to have acted less
worthily than according to his noble ma
ture, one might have expected-yet what
will not even a great man do for the sake
of beloved woman!-the "six cordons of
large pearls, strung as paternosters," be-
longing to poor Mary Stuart, and bought
for a comparative song in forced sale by
Elizabeth; the pearl embroidered garments
of the great in the Middle Ages; the fool
ish wager of Sir Thomas Gresham when,
to uphold his boast that the queen had
subjects who at one meal expended not
only as much as the daily revenues of
Spain, but of all its grandees, ground to
powder pearl for which he had refused
$5, 900, and drank the whole in a glass of
wine; the wonderful chance-or fateP-
which found "la peregrina," that fairest
pearl of all the earth, now in the crown of
Spain; the Hope pearl, measuring two
inches in length and four in circumfer-
ence, and weighing 1900 grains; the fam
GUS pearls of sweet Queen Margherita,
that pearl herself among royal women;
the odd arts of the heather Chinee, by
which pearls are manufactured inside the
shell; and the confessedly false pearls of
the Roman shops-all these facts and
anecdotes are as well known as the alpha
bet, and to relate them here at length
would be superfiuous.
Pearls are also more fragile than other
gems, and decay with time, damp and neg
lect; therefore they appeal to the senti-
ment, as all fragile things do They
breed" even as diamonds are said to
breed, and wild stories have foated around
the world of pearls shut up for a time,
which, when looked at again, have sur
rounded themselves with nice little fam
lily, like the chen and chickens" daisy

The Halleluiah Chorus,

The National Review is authority for
the statement that the custom of rising at
the "Halleluiah Chorus" which has con-
tinued to the present day, was begun on
March 90, 1743, at the first performance of
the work in London, when the king set the
example. Apropos of ''The Messiah" it is
interesting to learn that when Handel
went to Dublin in the autumn of 1741 he
took with him the score of this oratorio,
which he completed in the incredibly short
space of twenty-three days-namely, be-
tween Aug. % and Sept. IA of that year.
This great work was first heard in Dublin,
where it was given for the benefit of vari
GUS local charities-among others, for the
relief of the prisoners in the Dublin jails.
1t is said that the hall in Fishamble street
was arranged to contain 200 persons in
stead Of 600, the ladies having been induced
to come without their hoops and the gen.
tlemen without their swords. The impress
sion produced by ''The Messiah" was pro-
found, and it's triumphant success was
never for one moment questioned.

A QUESTION OF TITLES.

Several Ways of Solving 1.-THE Ameri-
can Law of Courtesy to Age.
There is great confusion in America as
to titles, concerning which Mrs. John
Sherwood writes as follows in Harper's
Bazaar:
For instance, Mrs. Clarence Manners,
Jr., writes to ask if she is Mrs. Clarence
Manners, Jr. Her father-in-law, Mr. Clar-
ence Manners ST., is dead, but her mother
in-law is alive, and she persists in writing
her name MRS Clarence Manners"
Now in point of law Mrs. Clarence Man
ners, ST., has no right to do this. In Eng
land she would be Mrs. Mary Manners
and if noble lady, Dowager Lady
Manners. However, she has custom on
her side. She is Mrs. Clarence Manners
by courtesy. She is still the important
widow, as she was the honored wife, and
therefore she is not "old Mrs. Clarence
Manners" but "Mrs. Clarence Manners"
and her daughter-in-law is Mrs. Clarence
Manners, Jr., although this in its way is
an absurdity if her husband is not Junior
any longer. Therefore it is very difficult
nut to crack. If Mrs. Clarence Manners
has no sisters-in-law she had better call
herself Mrs Manners" but if there is a
Mrs Henry Manners and a Mrs. John
Manners, all being in the same set, she
cannot we'll do that.
The most easy road out of the difficulty
would seem to be that the mother-in-law
should retire gracefully and write Mrs.
Mary Manners ON her card But if she is
unwilling to do this, the younger woman
must make way for the elder. 1t is the
American law, in country where age and
the clergy are the only things entitled to
reverence. The French get around this, as
they do everything, easily, by appending
the word "mere" MRS. Clarence Manners,
PEREZ" would solve the whole difficulty.

Novelties in GLASS. China. Etc.

Bread and milk bowls in ivory, fluted,
with plate complete, are pleasing novelties.
One of the new Hover holders is in a
light ruby glass, fiuted and in the shape of
forester's horn, with yellow rope
shoulder straps.
The new flower vases in crystal and col
ored glass are very artistic indeed, espe-
cially the patterns having three branches.
The latter are in crystal-rustic decora-
ton; the flower holders are so arranged as
to hold flowers or fairy lamps, as desired.
A useful square shaped teapot has the
body decorated after the style of the
oriental blue china, and around the edge
of the lid run the words, We'll tax cup
O. kindness yet for auld lang syne."
Candelabra of silver with branching
arms supporting small glass .Sssaps instead
of candles are very attractive, and scrae
persons prefer these 20 candles.

sherman's Democratic reoclivities.

Sherman's Democratic rroclivities.
Senator Sherman is one of several
Republican congressman who had to
struggle with their consciences when
they voted for the Mckinley bill. That
his conscience is not yet fully at ease as
regards the matter is evident from the
following, spoken in the senate in July:
Indeed I have no doubt the result of
the policy of protection does always
bring about some results which would
probably not be desirable. The enor-
nous development of these industries
has made the aggregation of vast
amounts of capital and great corpora
tions, and there may be more or less
danger growing from their ambitious
desires and sometimes from their un-
fairness and their disregard of the rights
Of the poor and of the laboring man.
There are dozens of articles in the
tariff which, if myself were to frame
tariff bill looking only to the interests
of the people of Ohio, might strike
down here and there. certainly would
admit coal duty free u: | would admit
lumber duty free. l,.oald do great
many things that our Democratic friends
want to do; but in a system like this you
have to observe impartial justice to all
interests alike. If you protect the in
terests of Illinois you must also protect
the interests of Minnesota, and do what
is fair all around. A tariff bill, after
all, we all admit, is a struggle of oppos-
ing interests. Every man, taken by
himself, is opposed to something in the
tariff. If he wants to buy he wants to
buy as cheaply as possible, and if he
wants to sell he wants as much protec-
ton as possible. In the nature of a
tariff law there must be some general
rule applied to all sections and to all in
terests, and the result has proved by
actual experiment in the last thirty years
that of all our interests this protective
system is the greatest and most impor
tant of our financial operations.

Dwellings and Families.

The census bulletin gives some inter
esting figures in relation to the crowded
condition of tenements in the different
cities. In New York 1888 per cent. of the
population are in dwellings with more
than twenty persons to each, and in Chi
cago only 1868 per cent. live in dwellings
containing more than twenty each. Phila-
delphia makes the best showing among
the cities, with 1851 per cent. of her popu-
lation in dwellings, with less than ten per-
sons to each, and only 3.41 per cent. in
dwellings containing more than twenty
persons each
