The article occasioned considerable sur prise among MT. Roosa's friends here and he was immediately communicated with. A letter has just been received from him from Chicago, where he is in the senior class in the University of Chicago.

Superstitions About Old GirdIes.

Girdles were an object of superstition,
more especially if they had belonged to
female saints. Such girdles were popularity
believed to possess certain remarkable
power-the power, namely, of protecting
women from some of the more serious i'll
nesses that are attendant or consequent
upon childbirth. This superstition per-
meated through all classes of the sex.
Queens credited the miraculous virtues of
"our lady's girdle" and paid large prices
for the loan of one The majority of these
girdles were believed to have been the
property, during her lifetime, of st. Mar
garet, the gracious patroness of married
women. Nearly every nunnery in England
to say nothing of France-possessed one.
There is in an old Irish poem, with the
charmingly euphonious title of "Oran
Eadar Allie Agus Macedonian Air Dhoibh
Fearg a Ghabhail Ri Fionn, an allusion to
the efficacy of an enchanted or sanctified
girdle in this same direction, and we are
further informed that sickness cannot
affect those whom their girdle binds"
In Ossian there is mention made to much
the same effect. 1t does not matter that
the poems of Ossian, as put before the
world by Mr.. Macpherson, are not genuine
One of the schoolmasters' commentators
says that "sanctified girdles till very lately
were kept in many families in the north of
Scotland. They were impressed with sew
eral mystical figures, and the ceremony of
binding them about the woman's waist
was accompanied with words and gestures
which showed the custom to have come
originally from the Druids. Chambers

Quarters For an Alligator.

The alligator which accompanies home
nearly every traveller to Florida and often
performs the journey by himself in a box
by mail should have both water and dry
land SO that he can choose for himself
where he will abide. have seen one kept
in tub of water unchanged till it was of
fensive, and another who had absolutely
no access to water at all. Both these treat
ments were improper and cruel. A good
way to make an alligator comfortable,
which we are bound to do if we snatch him
from his home and deprive him of liberty,
is to prepare large box that will hold
water, with board running up out of the
water that he can occupy if he desires. A
little pile of rocks, behind or within which
he can hide, will be welcome addition to
his quarters. For food, place oysters or
cut raw beef where he can get it. He usu-
ally prefers to eat in solitude, but his
keeper must remove the remains if there
be any the next day. The water should be
changed often and kept sweet.-Olive

In a small country town a tailor, with

Upon receiving an answer in the affirm

kitchen to draw jug of ale for the shop.
After some little time the ale was brought,
and as the servant, who was new hand,

more ale at the Cross Keys without the
money. This is the second pot owing for "
At another time his little girl ran into

To which she replied, 1.-TWO red herrings,"
After the strangers departure Mr.. H
rebuked the child for exposing their strait

similar question. Soon the opportunity
arrived, and when the father asked in the

Letter Carrying In China.

In China before letter is mailed or de-
livered to the carrier its contents are dis
played, and the keeper of the letter shop
then signs his Chop" or sign, so that its
point of origin may be determined. Parcels
may be transmitted in the same manner,
the charge for carrying being a percentage
of their declared value The shop keeper
gives a receipt for the letter or package, and
he thus becomes responsible for its safe de-
livery or its return to the sender with seal
unbroken. In some parts of the empire
about two-t thirds of the expense of trans
mission is paid by the sender, the remainder
being collected from the receiver. Thus the
shop is secured against entire loss from
transient customers, and the sender has
some guarantee that his letter will be con-
veyed with dispatch Native merchants
who are regular customers keep an open
account with the shop and make their
settlements monthly.

Canoeing is sport particularly adapted
to the American. With our innumerable
waterways, whether river, lake or land
locked bay, almost all the American peo-
pie may have the opportunity of sharing in
this most enjoyable of pastimes, if they
will but use the proper precautions. Canoe
ing is easy to learn, at least canoeing with
paddle. Sailing canoe is decidedly a
gymnastic exercise and would better be
left to the young athlete. But to follow the
old precept, Paddle your own canoe" the
same qualities are required which are neces-
sary when the injunction is taken in meta
phorical sense. To know what he wants to
do, and to go and do it, is the best possible
idea for canoeist to bear in mind. Albeit
he must do it gently.-Boston Advertiser

The Clever Advance Agent.

A group of actors and managers were
deploring the fact that there were no more
clever advance agents. They claimed the
men with vivid imaginations had either
become propretors or managers or else
disappeared entirely. The best advance
agent in this country, remarked one man
ager, "got his training with Barnums cir
Gus. | first met him in Fremont, Neb, and
he was with the show. The morning of
the performance it was rumored about that
the elephants while bathing in the Platte
river had got caught in the famous quick
sands of that stream. Bulletins were put
out every hour, stating that the elephants
had sunk another inch or two The
river banks were crowded with people, and
every hour brought hundreds more. About
l O'Clock this agent winked to the trainer,
and he winked to the elephants. The big
animals slowly crawled out of the mud
and started for the grounds OF course the
crowd followed, and most of them went in
to the tents. This trick was played in
every town ON the Platte river. Cor.

A Youthful Auditor Tells n story Bigger
Than Uncle Bill Does.
It was great fun for the boys in the viii
lage where Uncle Bill lived to get him start
ed telling some of his big stories. Appar-
emily there were no bounds to his magma
ton and to the number of his tales Most
of them were connected in some way with
the Hudson, as he had spent nearly his
whole life on the river
Seated on a stringpiece Of the wharf one
afternoon with a number of youngsters
around him he began by telling his audi
ence what wonderful river the Hudson
was
Boys" he said, II tell yer that ere is a
mighty fine river Yer kin go most any
where yer mind to on her Yessir, yer kin
go to ther north pole an ter the south pole"
The boys winked to one another, but did
not venture to make any remarks.
"How about Captain Broat's sloop, Uncle
Bill2" asked one of his auditors.
"Ah, murmured the old man, ''she was a
dandy, she was. Why, I've seen that ERE
slo'p, loaded with ore till her deck was flush
with Their water, go down through Haver-
straw bay under full sail when ther breeze
was so stiff that the other boats had two
reefs in their mains'ls an their jibs bobbed,
and some of 'em with their peaks dropped.
We've gone slashin down Haverstraw bay
with ole Sary's bow under water more'n
half Their time an didn't mind it at all.
She was a great slo'p, now, if yer wanter
know it,"
"How did you like havin the West Point

"Myl Uncle Bill that was narrer es-

shook it at him. The Iniun gave a yell

| There was a howl from the other boys,
but Uncle Bill, with look of deep disgust
at being beaten at his own game, exclaimed
in tones of great dsapproval:
| "Ah, you SMALLER pill, you, what do yer
want ter lie to er poor ole man furS" And
he got up and walked slowly away.

The ancient philosophers were of the opin-
ion that the Internal regions were at an
equal distance away from all parts of the
earth's surface, which may be the founda-
ton of the modern idea of hell being at the
center of the earth. The ancient Jews also
located the place of torment at the center
of our little sphere. According to them,
there were three passages leading to it:
The Wilderness, by which route Dathan,
Koran and Abram descended; the sea, be
cause it is written that Jonah cried to God
out of the belly of hell; the third passage is
at Jerusalem, because it is said:
1.-THE fire of the Lord is in Zion, and his
furnace is in Jerusalem" Mohammed said
that hell had seven gates-the first for the
Mussulmans, the second for the Christians
the third for the Jews, the fourth for the
Sabeans, the fifth for the Magians, the sixth
for the pagans and the seventh for the
hypocrites of all religions. Winston, the
English astronomer, believed that hell is
situated on comet, and that'on moment
the damned will be in the blistering heat
of the sun and the next in region of terri
BILE cold. Among Christian sects there are
two controverted opinions in regard to hell
