STRONG MEN OF OLD.

In the Good Old Days There Were Lots of
Brawn and Muscle to Be Found.
Philip, count of Kirchberg, was so
strong that he could drive nail into
the wall with one of his fingers, saws
the ST. Louis Post-Dispatch A Span
lard named Pedro, who emigrated to
Naples in 1855, drove nails into the
wall with his forehead. Potowka, a
Polish colonel, mashed horseshoes With
his hand. Valentine Einsiedel, count
of Schwarzenberg, and Curtof Lieut.
zow, Mecklenburg nobleman, did the
same thing with ease. The latter could
carry a tun of wine and throw silver
coins with such force against an oak
tree that the edge imbedded itself in
the bark. Frederick of Hazstein, who
lived at Limburg in 1868, could lift an
aum (forty English gallons) of wine and
drink from the bunghole. Johann,
count of Ziegenhain of Hessia Q455),
pushed aside six aums of wine, wagon
and all, which obstructed the road over
which he was riding. Count Siegmund
of Burgstall, carried seven adults on
his shoulders and walked about with
them for several minutes

NUMBER NINE IN MYTHOLOGY.
what a German Professor Has to Say of
Three Times Three.

What a German Professor Has to Say of
Three Times Three.
1t is not often that single figure
has enjoyed the distinction of being
the subject of long study and investi-
cation on the part of a German univer-
sity professor But 1.-The Number
Nine'' is the title of long and learned
article IL a recent edition of ssAm Ur-
quell,r by Prof. Reinhold, at present
rector of the University of Berlin. I'm
early times writes the professor, .sthe
first uneven number (3) and its null
tiple (9) were considered of especial
Importance, likewise all numbers
which contained o. Heather philoso-
pliers, or Christian mystic writer's, the
legends of nations, the religions of
modern peoples, all go to prove the
holiness or sanctity of the number o.
In ancient Germanic life, in poetry, in
religion and law, the number is met
everywhere. It still has its influence
in German customs and German belief
In the Scandinavian mythology we find
groups of nine walkyries. nine discs,
nine giant mermaids or women of the
sea, nine mothers of the god Heimdell
nine virgins of the Menglod-Fre and
nine dwarfs. In the middle ages nine
heroes were usually grouped together
as is to be seen on the beautiful foun-
tain at Nuremburg and the Hanse
salon of the Cologne city hall. In the
poetry of. the fifteenth century groups
of nine arc favored. Proofs of this are
to be found in the festival plays, Nos
IS and AZ of the Keller collection. and
in the poem: The Nine Poor Wander
ers of Hans Sachs. There We're nine
judges in lcelandic and Germanic law
known as the mines. In Lucerne there
existed until 1895 the nine men who sat
in judgment on ordinary police cases.
Nine children were formerly looked on
as the ideal number for Q family. = : i
Even animals arc named in old tales in
groups of nine. In n German fairy tale
nine birds quarre. over the wishing
clock. They say in Tysol: When nine
parents meet there is witch among
them We also find nine a favored
number for those people who make a
sacrifice of human beings and animals" )"

A DOLLAR IN THE WALLET.
1t Is an Influence That Lends Charm
to Life.


1t Is an Influence That Lends a Charm
to Life.
The stars they shine serener and
with greater luminosity when a fellow
isn't struggling with his impecuniosity.
The lofty sky is bluer and the meadow
grass is greener, and the ills of life are
fewer, and our life itself serener; and
we feel glorious courage and the
fates cannot appan it when we feel
the solid backing of a dollar in our
wallet.
Oh, the quiet air of twilight is more
brightly lmminiferous, and the incense
from the flowers is more sweet and
odoriferous; and the zephyrs blow
more sweetly and our food is more
nutritious, and we're conscious more
completely that our breakfast is de-
Hcious; and we feel that 1ife's no fizzle,
as the pessimists miscall it, when we
have the satisfaction of dollar in our
wallet.
All our woes are less appalling and
our joys are less ambiguous, and all
life's happy meadows are so 1ush-lilze
and irriguous; for a glass of pure, cold
phospha tastes as sweet as balm of
Gilead, and brown bread is like am
brosia Homer tells of in the ''Iliad;''
and we feel that life's a poem mauger
what the cynics call it, and we feel SUI
premely blessed with dollar in our
wallet.

SACRIFICES TO THE SEA.

Mystic Rites of Indians in PrOpitiatiOn OF
the Great Spirit of the Waters.
To the adventurous globe trotter
who has climbed the rock path to the
sailors church of Notre Dame dc Ia
Garde, dominating the Phenician port
of Marseilles, the potent influence of
sacrifices and offerings for perils
passed and to come must be no old
story, says Lieut.. j. d. Jerrold Kelley,
in describing 1.-The SuDerssitionS of the
Sea- in the Century.
There is a 2athoS, even for the world
ly, in the quaint ships and galleons, in
the r1sting marlinspil1es and shattered
tiller heads, swinging to the mistral,
in reverentia1 offering before the
shrines. These gracos after danger,
these assurances against evil to come,
circle the world. No people have es-
capped the influence of such hopes and
thanks. Our Indians were fettered by
them, and no ceremonious offerings
were more common than those which
went to appease the angry Spirit of the
Waters. On the upper tributaries o1
the Mississippi, the Indians, with oc-
cult rites, gave tribute of tobacco from
a beetling cliff to the Great Spirit Oh
the River, and to the winds that smote
the waters with blasts from the cav
erns of the jealous gods. Algonquins
in the north, Aztecs, sons of Atahualpa
and Marco Capac, in the south-aI
blew incense out of their pipes, and
strewed upon the currents and tide
ways just such offerings of tobacco as
in our more subjective days, we give
with lost meanings to the minor gods
who rule the mans hour in our feasts
