ORIGIN OF MARTINMAs.
The Saint Turned satan Into a Mule anc
Rodo Him.

The Saint Turned satan Into a Mule and
Rode Him.
ST. Martins day is called Martinmas.
ST. Martin. says the legend, was once
going toward Rome on foot, when he
met Satan, who jcered at him for walk
ing when he ought to ride in o manner
worthy of bishop. ST 1iartin there
upon changed Satan himself into a
mule, and jumping on his back rode
comfortably along. Whenever he went
too slow the saint made the sign of the
cross and the mule was goaded to
greater efforts.
In olden times it was at Martinlnas
that the new Wine was first tasted, and
day of joviality was the natural re-
suit. On the continent Of Europe geese
were sacrificed plentifully at Martin
mas.
In England the day was more sacred
to beef. Cattle used then to be killed
for the winters meat, and Martinmas
beef mems beef dried in the chimney
like bacon.
In France the few warm and pleasant
days which commonly occur at about
this time. and are known here as Indian
summer, are called the summer of st.
Martin.

AND LITERAreuRs.

Noted Americans Who Have Served III
10th Capacities.
1t is singular that most of our popular
foreign ministers have been literary
men. Washington Irving, says the New
York Herald, did famous work in Spain,
and Bayard Taylor was the most popu-
lar American minister Germany ever
had. w. d. Howells got his literary
start when he was consul to Venice, and
Julian Hawthorne wrote some of his
best works when he had a consular po-
sition in England. Elihu b. Washburne
kept diary while he was minister to
Paris, and his story of the siege of that
city during the Franco-Prussian war is
the most interesting book which has
been Published on the subject. Joel
Benton, the author of the "Colunbiad,''
was minister to Russia, and Sam Cox's
Diversions of a Diplomat is one of the
best books published on Turkey. Sew
eral of our foreign ministers are now
engaged in the preparation of books
about the countries with Which they
have been connected. Andrew Curtin,
who was minister to Russia, will have
an intereating chapter or two concern
ing his experiences there in his mem !
oirs, which he is writing at Belle
fonte, Pa. and Gen. DENLY, who for
the last eight years has been minister
to Pclsin, has the material for an excel
lent book on China and the Chinese
Jacob Childs, of Missouri. who was min
ister to Siam under Cleveland, has a
book on that country in the course of |
BY all odds the best book
ever Published on China was that of
Wells Williams, who went to that coun-
Try as a missionary, but was connected

started the Arkansas Pass system. There
has been some tall financiering in the
history of railroad building in this coun-
try, but there isn't anything which for
dazzling pluck quite approaches the
story of the building of this six hun
dred miles of road in South Texas. To
the one mile Of track three were added
three miles by a dicker for some sec
ond-hand rails which street car com
pany had bought from narrow guage
company On this basis credit was
made with Pennsylvania rolling mill
for ten miles of rails. When they ar
rived there wasn't money enough in the
treasury to pay the freight But it was
got somehow. Ten miles of track gave
foundation for bonds which built forty
miles more, and SO the system grew into
its present proportions. This man who
built the Arkansas Pass system rode from
San Antonio to Chicago at one critical
period in his enterprise without cent
in his pocket. Tie had transportation,
but he hadn't anything to buy food, and
he went through hungry.

BIRD SONG.
Fly II the Feathered Race Depicts Love
and Passion.

/
Fly II the Feathered Race Depicts Love
and Passion.
The gift of bird song is largely a mas
culine prerogative. an expression of
tender sentiment by which the affec-
lion of the opposite sex may be attract
ed and retained Indeed the birds fur
aish nc, exception to the sweeping as
scrtion that "tis love that gives the
key to all earth's music" They sing
from love and happiness, says one;
from love and rivalry, another asserts;
while JOY and buoyancy of spirits are
said by third authority to be answer
able for their music. That most of the
species sing best in the spring is we'll
known, the motive that is responsible
for the general outpour of song being
result of its influences; they are hap
Ply to be at home again in the old
haunts, to be surrounded by plenty and
to feel the matchless sweetness of re-
turning springtime.
One of the most delightful of our
American essayists believes all birds to
be incipient or would-be songsters then
that even the hen has a homely, con-
tented carol-and he credits the owl
with desire to fill the night with
music. The light of love within the
little birds heart is. brightest at that
season and ovcrtlows and illumines his
song. THE language Of passion keeps
time TO the hearts rhythm" until the
fnll beauty OF the flower Of love is
reaehedan the thousands OF beautiful
homes about US.
Undoubtedly they sing at times for
very joy, just as we go singing a6ou5
'ur work because our hearts are light
md happy, ard the song sings itself;
We have only to listen to it

Tnttoned and Rnined.

Gen. Tzavcllas is well known to the
readers of the Legend of the Centu-
ries," by Victor Hugo, as one of the val
liant soldiers of the wars of independ-
cncc of Greece. A son of the general
had been believed dead by his family for
forty years. He left his country forty
years ago to explore distant lands and
had not been heard from since. He was
taken captive many years ago by Chi
nese pirates, robbed of all his belong
ings and detained for a long time. Dur
ing his captivity they tattooed him all
over the face, body and limbs. Then he
fell into the hands of travelling show,
man, with whom he reentered his ma
tive land. He was recognized by his
sister and rescued from the hands of his
employer. The poor old man is com
pletcly broken in mind and body and
hardly able even to tell the tale Of his
long and pitiable suffcrings, not to
mention that any discoveries which he
may once have made are all buried in OBJ
iVlon.

OLD IN HALF AN HOUR.
Animalculpe That Live FIFTY Generations
in Day.


in Day.
The ephemerids, tiny-winged insects,
which were said to be born in the morn
ing, to be in the prime of life at noon,
and to be in extreme old age at sunset,
are put completely in the shade by the
group of opir1alcdlD which DR., Dallin-
ger has been Investigating, and which
he has named saccophytic. So incon-
ccivably small are these creatures that
six million of them could be placed on
the severed end OF hair OF medium
thickness.
The function of the group Is to play
the part OF scayengers. They breed in
dead organic matter, breaking up the
tissue in order to set free the gases and
other elements of which it is composed.
No fiction can be stranger and more
wonderful than the true story of the life
of these invisible creatures. When
born, by the process of assures from the
parent body, they are tiny specl1s of
egg-shaped protoplasm. Minute by
minute they grow larger. Then the
bodies are quartercd. as it were, by the
appearance of a lengthwise and
erosswise fissure; further assures are
speedily carried diagonally through the
divisions of the cross. Then third
series OF assures is carried through the
diagonals. The next process is a kind
of twist, that gives the assures a grace
full curve. Last of all, the body of the
creature breaks up entirely, and each
section between the assures becomes a
complete creature itself, and COM
mences the same round of existence.
The whole of these changes, from the
separation of new creature from the
parent body till itself breaks up in the
same manner, takes place within half
an hour

A Tree on q Tower.

Seeds of trees taken by birds, or by
winds, frequently lodge in some decay
ing mortar crack on the tops of high
buildings, and will grow out and mako
quite large trees. One of these is in tho
city OF Utica, N. Y, where on the top Of
a city church tower is a mountain ash.
which, about fifteen or sixteen years
ago probably sprouted. 1t still con
tlnues to grow, and has now reached o
height OF about seven feet. The roots
push their way into the cracks and
of the mason work. During the
last two or three years it has blossome,'
and borne clusters of scarlet berries. It
is said by some friend to be one of the
interesting sights Of Utica.

ANOTHER IDOL SHATTERED.
The Iconoclast Deals Blow at One of

The Iconociast Deals Blow at One of
Our Most Cherished Beliefs.
Countess Guiccioli, Byron's inamoratc.,
has her reputation for beauty sadly i'm
pugned by the, author of Gossip of the
Century" That literary iconoclast
says that several people who had known
the countess told him that she was any
thing but beautiful. Gone assured me. >,
he says, that her complexion reminded
him of = boiled pork O. and an
other asserted that her figure was alb
solutely shapeless; that she was not
beautiful, and that so far from possess
ing any grace or elegance of style, she
had the appearance of a short bolster
with string round its middle. Worse
than this, it seems that Guiccioh wad-
died like duck; her feet, which were
as large and fat as Nine. dc Staers-

her manners, they were far from re-

he picked up a tuning fork, touched 1T
and applied it to her ear. what note
is that?" he asked She told him; and
he gavo her the same pitch in the other
ear ''And that?" And, behold! it.
sounded a minor third lower.
"As / told you," said the medicine
man, ''you are suffering from a de-
preston of the nerves in one ear" To
use homely but significant misappli-
cation of terms, her ears were out of
focus. The teacher was in greet dis

not show she complained, 'but l
could better afford to have rheumatic
fever Did anyone ever have it before?"
The doctor laughed. BLESS your
heart, madam he said, ''as many as
twenty of the Symphony orchestra men
had the same affection last winter"
Think of the possibilities of the
spread of such disease! Singers sing
out of tune, players wander from the
pitch, and it may not be their fault.
Their ears may be out of focus Critics
from the same disastrous
ahhetion may wrongfplly accuse per-
formers. All differences of opinion
may be due to this auricular depression.
The humorous possibilities arising from
the existence of such complaint arc
very suggestive. 1t will appear in the
light of q boomerang to both artist and
critics

GRANITE COLUMNS.


How the Hard Stone Is Turned Into
Shape.
Granite for columns, balusters, round
posts and urns is now worked chiefly in
lathes, which, for the heaviest work.
are made large enough to handle blocks
twenty-five feet long and five feet in di-
ametcr. Instead of being turned to the
desired size by sharp cutting instrr-
ments. as in ordinary machines for
turning wood and metal granite is
ground away by the wedge-lille action
of rather thick steel disks, rotated bv
the pressure of the stone as it SLOWLY
turns in the lathe The disks, which
are six or eight inches in diameter, are
set at quite an angle to the stone and
move with an automatic carriage alonr
the lathe bed. Large lathes have four
disks, two on each side, and a column
may be reduced some two inches in di-
aneter the whole length of the stone by
one lateral movement of the carriages
along the bed. The first lathe for
turning granite cuts only cylindrical or
conical columns, but an improved form
is 50 made that templets or patterns
may be inserted to guide the carriages,
and columns having any desired swell
may be as readily turned. For fine
grinding and polishing the granite is
transferred to another lathe where the
only machinery used is to produce a
simple turning or revolution of the
stone against iron blocks carrying the
necessary grinding or polishing materi-
ale
