The beautiful allegory, of which so
pathetic a use was made by NJ. Rcnan

written by c. B. Pitman, and revised
by Nine. Renan:
'One of the most popular legends in
Brittany is that relating to an mag
mary town called Is, which is supposed
II have been swallowed up by the sea
at some unknown time. There are scv-
eral places along the coast which are
pointed out as the site of this imaginary
city, and the fishermen have many
strange tales to tell of il. According

NEWSPAPER EXHIBIT.
Morning and Evening Journals VIII BE
Printed In Machinery Hall.


Printed In Machinery Hall
Publishers of the big newspapers in
Chicago have been discussing for some
time plans of an exhibit they Will make
at the fair. 1t is as good as settle now
that both a morning and an evening
paper will be issued in machinery hall
every day. The papers viii he printed
on presses sent 10 the fair IS exhibits,
and it is possible that they will be
printed on paper made on the exposition
grounds. This exhibit would enable
persons who have not witnessed the in
teresting process of producing a great
daily newspaper to see every feature of
the work, from the manufacture of
paper to the delivery of the story of the
events of n day to subscribers.
The morning paper AZ the exposition
will be an interesting journal in many
respects 1t is probable that each of
the big morning dailies will contribute
one page to it. This page will be an
exact duplicate of the corresponding
page of the paper that contributes It,
Each paper will send to Jackson park
one of those pulp molds known as a
matrix, and from this the metal plates
will be east and the papers run off in
full view of spectators. On other pages
of the paper official announcements Will
be made.

A FIERCE BATTLE WITH GEESE.

Hunter.

An interesting and rather peculiar
battle, says the Philadelphia Times.
was witnessed the other morning by a
number of persons who were driving
along the old summer road. in the
Twenty-eighth ward. In a field lying
on the north side of the old thorough
fare and east of Harris bellevue truck
farm an aged German was gathering
mushrooms, and while peering about
the pasture for the toothsome fungi, in
a STOPPING attitude, flock of ''Gander
hill" geese strutted under post and
rail fence from a neighboring pond and
marched with their necks extended at
full length toward the stranger, who at
first paid no attention To their kissing,
but continued. every now and again 10
reach down and pick a mushroom.
He soon learned TO his sorrow that
the geese were considerably above the
average flock for bold persistency and
determined fight. One old gander acted
as leader, and, after .marshaling his
forces into position, led on to the fight
by boldly attacking the intruder and
striking him a stunning blow on the
nose. Before he could recover from the
effect two of the geese, one from each
side, flew at his face, each taking hold
of an ear and holding on with bulldog
tenacity, while they battered his head
and face with their clipped wings.
The sharp points of the cut feather
stems brought the blood from his cheeks
and forehead at every flap. He jumped
and prauced around like mad, wildly
gesticulating and muttering cries and
curses in German
Two others of his feathery assailants
flew upon his back and began pecling
him on the head and neck, while the
Others took hold upon the legs of his
trousers and his coat tails and tugged
till they fairly dragged him TO
swampy part of the field. where one of
poor fellows feet sank in the slippery
mud and he fell backward in the slime.
a man in one of the passing wagons
hurried to his assistance. armed with a
bean pole snatched from the truck gar
dens- He arrived just in time TO pre-
vent the enraged geese from killing
their victim.
Even the blows from the tough cedar
bean pole for a time had no effect on the
geese, and il was not until five of them,
with their neclzs broken, lay quiver-
ing on the grass that the poor old Ger
man, his face covered with blood and
his clothing with mud, could be deliv-
cred.
He was led out to the old Summer
road, placed in the wagon, and kindly
driven To his home in Tioga. The only
reason that can be given for the unu-
sual behavior of the geese is that rag
picker who resembled the German in
appearance about week ago carried
away several goslings that belonged TO
one of the geese.

They Want Excitement.

The emigration of the English agri-
cultural population into the towns is
attributed by T. E. Kebbel, among
other causes, 20 the dullness of village
life. The old feasts, the fairs and the
games have for the most part disap-
pcared. Thus, while there is vastly
more cricket played in England than
fifty years ago, it is not played by the
same class. In the old day-long match
es ON the village greens the elevens
were mostly made up of laborers- They

A Bird of Evil Omen.

The pigeon is considered to be essen
tally bird of death, says the Fancicrs S
Journal Thus if white pigeon set
ties on a chimney some one of the occu-
pants of the house viii pass away ere
long, but should the bird enter and
perch upon the table it is considered a
less portentous omen and to testify sick
ness There is a widespread belief
through England that no one can die
happily on a bed in which there Is
even a single pigeons feather. There
is n similar superstition about par
fridge feathers and there is an old say
ing that he who is sprinlSled with
pigeons blood will never die a natural
death.

Hans Nielsen, of Copenhagen, has had
'the probably unique experience of
being sentenced TO death three times,
according to the London News. Such
is the lenity of Danish law, or rather
the indisposition of the authorities to
proceed to extreme measures, that this
notorious criminal has already been re-
prieved twice and relegated to prison
for "A long term. 1t was in prison that
he committed his last offense, for he
murdered one of his jailers. Nielsen
began his career at the age of eightsby
setting fire to n farmhouse, and il is
doubtful whether he has ever earned an
honest penny in the whole course of his
existence. He was formerly a resident
of London.

The duke of Veragua, the descendant
of Columbus, who has promised to visit
America as the guest of the nation next
year, has received the famous order OF
the Golden Fleece from the queen re-
gent of Spain. The decoration was
given to him, Spanish papers say, as a
recompense for the little attention paid
to him during the Columbus celebra-
ton in Spain. The Golden Fleece Is
one of the most famous orders in Eu-
rope. and is worn, as rule, by members
of ruling families.

The ships and Annapolis Roads


The visit Of the delegations from
Annapolis, Baltimore aud Washing
ton, that waited upon the Sec
rotary Of the Navy yesterday with re
ference to bringing the war ships to
Annapolis Roads after the naval re
view, was pot in vain. The Secretary of
the Navy gave the delegations a most
patient and interested hearing, and
was very fayorably impressed with
the new light that was thrown upon
the subject, and thought that the
proposition to have as many OF the
fleet come to Annapolis Roads at
ter the review in New York harbor
on the oath Of April, and also to in
vite A. many Of the foreign ships of
war to accompany the American
fleet as could conveniently do so, q
very feasible one. AS it is optional
with the commanders of the foreign
ships Of war to harbor their vessels
whore they like after the naval re-
view, while their officers visit the
Worlds Fair, it is thought that
many Of them would accompany the
American ships to Annapolis Roads
upon invitation of the Secretary of
the Navy, and many of them, no
doubt, would gladly avail of the OPP
portunity to see the United States
Naval Academy, and at the same
time, il would be of great advantage
10 the naval cadets. This was the
point that the visiting delegations
brought to bear upon the Secretary,
and well did they succeed in making
il plain to his mind. We may hope
that the fleets or at least part of
them, will come to Annapolis
Roads after the cath Of April.
