Some Moon Myths.

Many superstitious beliefs as to the
Influence" of the moon still remain.
even in this last decade of the nine
teenth century. In some localities il is
believed TO be unlucky to be empty
handed when one first beholds the new
moon; and among the same people hav-
ing silver in the hands or gold in the
pockets is a good sign If one is about
entering upon an important undertake
ing he had best defer proceedings until
the moon is filling" that is. until
some time between new" and
full moon. All the English
speaking people refer to the moon
as ''she" and the sun as ''he:" in
Hindoo anthology. however. the god
dess of night is a male deity. supposed
TO be the son of the patriarch Atri a
young man who was transferred to the
realms of space because he was too good
to associate with other human beings.
The Malays, SIamese and several classes
and castles of the Chinese, speak OF the
moon as a great milk curd or butter
ball which arose from the primeval Sea
OF Milk when it was churned by the
Gods to procure the much-prized hey
erage of immortality st Louis Re-
public.
-Emlr is not properly a title. but a
descriptive word. Correctly used. it is
applied only to descendants of the
prophet. all of whom are STYLED emir.
just as the title honora BILE is applied To
the people of certain rank by birth in
England. Emirs are now found amono
Turkish and Arab people of every rank
and class in life. Every one who can
prove his descent from the prophet is
emitted to wear green in some portion
OF ms costume, the turban being usual
ly chosen for this sign of rank. The
claim to the title is considered far more
satisfactory where traced back THROUGH
the female ancestry.

A MUSCULAR MONK.


How He Took the Conceit Out OF a Bully
ing BrsCgart.
When Sir Richard Burton was trans
ferred from Fernando Pc to the con-
sulate of Santos and Sac Paola there
was a seminary of Capuchius, French
men and Italians. which contained
some curious specimens of muscular
Christianity, says the Liverpool Mer-
curry.
For example: Zone of the monks
was a tall, magnificent and very pow
erful man, an ex-cavalry officer. Count
Somebody. whose name I forget, then
Friar c.. Before he arrived there
was a bully in town. rather of free
thinking class. so he used to go and
swagger up and down before the semi
nary and call out: Come out, you
miserable petticoated monks! Como
out and have a free fight for God or
the devilr When Friar C. arrived
he heard of this and it SO happened he
had had an English friend when he
was with his regiment who had taught
him the use of fists. He found that his
brother monks were dreadfully dis
tressed at this unseemly challenge, so
he said: The next time he comes
don't open the gate but let the porter
call me-
$50 the next time the bully appeared
it was so arranged that the gate was
opened by Friar C. 1.-THE usual
crowd had collected in the road to see
the fun, who looked at him laughing
~ and said: Surely, brother, we will
fight for God or the devil, if YOU
please. So, saying, the friar turned
up his sleeves and gown and told his
adversary to come on which he did,
and he was Immediately knocked into
a cooked hat. Come, get up said the
friar No lying there and whimper-
ing; the devil wont win that way
The man stood three rounds, at the
end Of which he whimpered and hal
1ooed for mercy, and, amidst the jeers
and braves of large crowd, the vii
lage cock retired, mass of jelly and
pulp. and was never seen more than a
half mile of the seminary"

The first Monday of the term, brothers
of the opposing factions who had
always been on good terms with each
other undertook to bring about rec
onciliation. These were Bill Ramsey
and Henry Tuggle.
They went over to a saloon where
Joe and Hamp Tuggle were and entered
into conversation and, after seemingly
smoothing things over. drank together
until Bill Ramsey became Intoxicated.
They separated and the Tuggles went
out by the back way and Ramsey by
the front door. They met again on
the sidewalk and a quarrel ensued.
