IN THE EARLIER DAYS.

How Our Grandparents Ground Their
Wheat and Corn.
The water-miil is older than the wind
mill, but prehistoric corn-such wheat.
for instance, as Pytheas, the first trav-
eler from civilization to Great Britain.
saw the natives of Kent drying in large
sheds on account of the absence OF sun
was ground in hand-mills, as is still
done in the east. Quernes. as these
mills were called, are frequently found
in the cyclopean underground dwell
ings OF Scotland. Their sim plest form
consists of two thin circular stones,
the upper of which is pierced
in the center and revolves on a
wooden or metal pin inserted
in the lower one. The grinder drop
ped the grain into the central hole
with one hand, while the other caused
the upper stone to revolve by means of
a stick inserted in small hole near the
edge.
The righteousness of this operation is
well illustrated by story told of CO.
lumba. He was studying under St.
Finnian, and every night on which it
fell to his lot to grind the corn with the
querne he performed his task so quickly
that his companions enviously asserted
that he had the assistance of an angel
in turning the stone. Wilson thinks
that at this time (the early part of the
sixth century, the querne was the only
mill in use. Large water-mills were
introduced in the thirteenth century
into Scotland and legal means had to
be employed to render their use com
pulsory. Magazine.

Oxygen.

City life is becoming essentially an
indoor life. The systems do not have
sufficient oxygen to make strength and
vitality. The use of oxygenas thera-
peutic agent is becoming more and
more apparent. and recent experiments
have shown that it is specific cure in
many diseases that heretofore often
baffied the best skill of the physician.
A change of climate is often another
way to prescribe oxygen. The Adiron-
dack regions of New York state pro-
duce pure and highly-concentrated oxy-
gen, and the regions are recon-
mended for invalids. The blood
in many diseases, such as
pneumonia, diphtheria, membran-
Gus Group, acute articular rheuma tism
and other forms of parasitic diseases.
requires oxidation faster than is gener-
ally supplied in the siek-room. All of
these diseases have been cured by free
applications of oxygen, after medica-
ton failed Others have been partly
cured, so that recovery was made pos
sible In nearly all such attacks free
use of oxygen is beneficial On the
other hand, free use of oxygen bv
those in fair health. whose occupation
shuts them up great deal, would be
of incompara bic value in keeping up
their strength-N Y Ledger

Dublin Castle Etiquette.

The clique tie maintained by the
lord lieutenant in the viceregal court
is illustrated by ansincident which is
described by Mr.. Blathwayt in an ar
ticle in the Idler. The writer was

castle. when the door suddenly opened,
and tall, singularly- handsome, we'll

Letters as . Profession.

Robert Buchanan in the Idler speaks
thus bitterly of literature: Il entire
ly agree with Mr.. Grant Allen in his
recent avowal that literature is the
poorest and the least satisfactory of
all professions; | will go ever farther
and affirm that it is one of the least
ennobling. With a fairly extensive
knowledge of the writers of my own
period, l can honestly say have not
met one individual who has not dete-
riorated morally by the pursuit of liter
airy fame" But Mr.. Collins In the
New Review says that great bonanzes
are now awaiting the successful writer
in America. There will, of course. be
more failures, he says. but also proper.
tiOnate successes.

POPULAR MYTHS.
Tie Grin of Some Wide,y-Accepted Sto-
ric, and I.aycnds.

Tie Grim of Some Widriy-Accepted Sto-
; RIGS AID Legends.
The boy OF to-day lives in practical
age, which net only laughs at supersti-
ton by establishing clubs which dine
on Friday, the 18th of the month and
sit down thirteen at the table, but not
content with dealing with the super
stition OF the day, has discredited many
of the legends which have survived for
years and were regarded as historical.
We have all known the sorrow occa-
stoned by our awakening to the fact
that Santa Claus was a myth, and
Christmas has never been quite the
same since we discovered it, but now
how has the list grown.
William Tell, the Wandering Jew,
the dog Gilbert, the Man in the Moon,
st. George and the Dragon, Lohengrin
and the Swan and many others have
been demolished, and even Joan of Arc
and Shakespeare have been attacked,
while clever Frenchman has printed
a well-constructed argument to the
effect that Napoleon was mytholog-
ical character.
The old Saxon and Danish writer's
tell wonderful tales of the markham
ship of their bowmen, all having the
William Tell incident of father shoot
ing an apple or a nut from his sons
head as the final test Of skill. In the
old Morse sagas the same story appears
again and again with many variations,
so we no longer credit Tell with the
aI,s 10 4
an old. old story long before the time
when Tell was said to have performed
it.
The story of Gellert, the faithful
hound, was probably derived from the
Persians, who, in turn, had translated
it from the Sanscrit, Pantschatantra,
made about A. D. $40. In this story a
company with an ichneumon, while she
went to fill her water-jar.
In her a bsence snake crept in and
tried to bite the child, but the ichneu-
mon interfered and tore the snake in
pieces, and then sailed forth all bloody
to lave itself in the pool but the wom
an returning met the creature covered
WIN Dioous anu dui\h's SohSASAoAh
that it had killed her child she cast her
water-jar at it and killed it, only to
discover her mistake when it was too
late.
So many versions Of this story abound
in SO many lands that it is proba BILE
that it was only the old legend which
was localized and individualized in
Wales.
The Wandering Jew and the Flying
Dutchman have long since been traced
to the same source. ST. George and the
Dragon had been antedated by Sieg-
fried's fight with Fafnir and the story
of Perseus and Andromeda is in all es-
sential particulars the same as that of
the Cappadocian saint.
Mermaids, witches, sprites, ghosts
and gnomes now meet with so little
credence that it is to be feared that the
time will soon come when there will
be no more fairy tales, no COLLINS to
terrify and no good fairies to reward
the children of this prosaic age.-Bos-
ton Globe.

What though the radiant thoroughfare
Teens with noisy throng?
What though men handy everywhere
The ribald jest and song?
Over the din of oaths and cries
Broodeth wondrous calm,
And mid the solemn stiffness rise
The bells of Notre Dame.
Heed not, dear Lord" they seem to say
"Thy weak and erring child,
And thou, oh gentle Mother pray
That God be reconciled
And on mankind, o Christ, our King,
Pour out thy precious balm"
'ris thus they plead and thus they sing
Those bells of Notre Dame.
And so, methinlSs, God, bending down
To ken the things of earth,
Heeds not the mockery Of the town,
Or cries of ribald mirth;
Forever soundeth in his ears
A penitential psalm
'Tis thy angelic voice he hears,
o bells Of Notre Dame!
Plead on, bells, that thy sweet voice
May still forever be
An intercession to rejoice
Benign Divinity;
And that thy tuneful grace may fall
Like dew a quick ming balm
Upon the arid hearts of all
o bells Of Notre Dame.
