According to Pratorius, the man in
the moon is the Patriarch Isaac, carry
ing the bundle of sticks which were to
be lighted to sacrifice his own body on
the mountain top. Dante believes him
to be Cain, carrying a bundle Of thorns,
the meanest offering his lands afforded,
as a present to God. In Iceland the peo-
pie claim that they can see the face of
Adam In the moon and that Of Eve in
the sun. Among the Frieburgers there
is a superstition which Gays that the
MARKS and spots on the moons face are
tho outlines Of the traitor, Judas Iscar-
lot, holding his hand over his face while
sneoEing just prior to hanging himself.
This last belief accords with the old
Frenkish legend, which says that there
was no spot on Luna's bright face until
after the time of the c%ruci6xion of
Christ. Still another story tells us that
In the time of the creation God threw
an offending angel against the face OF
the moon, while another is to the effect
that the moon witnessed the creation of
Adam and Eve and took an impress of
their features on his surface, intending
to people his own land with similar be-
ings. When he essayed to initiate Gods
works, he made nothing but a Shiny ser
pent, which since that day has contin-
ued to fold and unfold its mighty coils
in full view of the descendants of the
God created beings.-St. Louis Repub-

DR.. James W. Walk, in a lecture on
"Defectives" before The University Of
Pennsylvania, defined the detectives e.

mental or physical defects, either con-
genital or acquired. This group com

DR.. Walk took up each Of these class

the best way to deal with them. OF the
blind and deaf he saldi "Blind, deaf

ITO fit blind children for self support
It is necessary that their discipline

And the Ola Unrooonstructed Confederate
Took Pains 20 Make Thom known.
Very many Of the early settlers OF
Montana were natives OF Missouri, Ken
lucky, Arkansas and the border states
Of the war. They came by the Missouri
river 10 Fort Benton or by coach from
Omaha and for many years were in the
minority az elections, when they held
the Tag Of Democracy TO the masthead.
The result OF this immigration was a
strong sentiment for the confederacy in
the early days, and in 1873, when Cen
eral Phil Sheridan and staff made an
official visit 70 the northwestern posts,
the sentiment had not disappeared.
Helena, Mon, was just emerging from
the garb Of a mining camp, but a few
enterprising citizens with Ex-Governor
Hauser at the head determined to give
a sitting reception 10 the visitors. A
delegation met Sheridan and his party
in n ~stagecoach several miles from the
town and escorted them to the leading
hotel. On the following afternoon a
banquet was given In the First National
bank, located then in the present gam
bling district.
The menu consisted mostly Of canned
goods, jack rabbit meat and fresh game,
because the town was remote from civ
iliEation. There was, however, plenty
Of champagne, since that vino is usu-
ally found IN mining camps even when

much grumbling among the unrecon-

lawyers and mining camp politicians
mingled with gamblers, miners and ex-
road agents, many of whom wore six
shooters at their belts. Among them
was one old time Confederate soldier,
who had turned his talents from the
chivalry Of war to dealing bank" He
was restless and uncomfortable during
the feast, and when the toasts began
this restlessness increased. His face

Finally he could stand it no longer.
He arose with a w~ineglass In one hand

The little creature which possesses
the distinction OF having more legs than
any other animal is that which belongs
TO the family of insects known as mile
peds, or thousand footed. There are
several different species Of these, but
they all possess the common character
istic of having segmented bodies, each
segment of which is provided with its
own pair of feot. These are set so close
ly along the body as to resemble hairs,
and when they move one after another
with perfect regularity the effect is pre-
cisely the same on a small scale as that
Of a field of oats Undulating under the
influence of the wind. Some species OF
millepeds have as many as $50 separate
aud distinct legs. They are all per
fectly harmless, unlike the centipeds,
which frequently have the power of in
hicting poisonous wounds. -Brooklyn

Tho Man Who Tired CARLYLE.

There is a story of Carlyle in his old
age having taken the following fare
we'll in his broadcast Scotch of a young
friend who had had him in charge for
walks, and who while almost always
adapting himself to Carlyle's mood had
on a single occasion ventured to dis
agree with him, II would have you to
know, young man, that you have the
capacity Of being the greatest bore in
Christendom." The boredom had con-
sisted solely in the rather negative sin
Of not having been convinced of the
truth of one Of Carlyle's dogmas, a sin
all the more heinous because, instead Of
standing boldly up to Carlyle and de-
claring his doctrine utterly peryerse,
the companion had betrayed his weak
ness by an apologize tone.
Now, Carlyle liked disciples, and he
respected antagonists, but ne could not
endure being merely thwarted without
being thoroughly reused. He felt in
that case that he had made no impress
sion at all on his i~nterlocutor; that he
had neither won him nor excited him
to resistance. And nothing bored him
30 much as that. OF course it is only
exceptionally despotio minds that are
bored in this way.-London Spectator.

Bores.

Tho great secret Of boredom is to be
found in two leading qualifications. A
bore must DO unable to find amusement
In himself, and he must also be unable
to find amusement in any one else. He
must depend for his amusement neither
on his own mind MOI on the minds Of
his friends, but simply on the gratiica-
ton which 1t 10 10 him 10 give a special
direction, or at least to suppose that he
gives a special direction-for he ia a
creature Of the most unlimited credul-
ity in the art of magnifying his own in
fluence-to the minds of his friends.
He is in despair unless he can imagine
himself a person of influence, and I'M
luckily he can never imagine himself a
person of infuence-for he Is a man of
very limited imaginative power-unless
he is taking overt steps to convince
somebody of something, whether 1t be
Of some technical doctrine like Dugald
Dalgetty's strategic principle, or simply
Of his y importance, or even of tho
Importance of his patrons, like Mr.. Col
Inns in Pride and Prejudice" To DO a
first rate bore you must have no re-
sources in yourself and no resources In
your friends, but must depend for your
satisfactions on the real or fancicd power
Of making your friends either think or
do what they would otherwise not think
or do.-London Spectator.

fHe YOUNG QUEEN VICTORIA.
Hof ffelosty's Actions on being Notified a
the Kings namise.

NnN AAuk , ANNAANNt
William ~ was dead. Tho arch.
bishop Of Canterbury and Lord Conyng-
ham were dispatched TO inform the
Princess Victoria Of the fact. It was a
warm night In June. The princess was
sleeping In her mothers ROOM. her Gus
tom from childhood, and had to be sum-
moned out Of her sleep. The messen-
gers awaited her In the long, unlofty
room, separated only by folding doors
from that which was inhabited by the
Duchess Of Kent and her daughter. The
young girl entered alone, in her night
dress, with some loose wrap thrown
hastily about her. The moment she was
addressed as "Your majesty she put
out her hand, intimatinR that the lords
who addressed her we're to kiss Il and
thereby do homage. Her schooling and
her instincts were admirable from the
first. Self possession combined with
perfect modesty came naturally to her.
A few hours later, at III o'clock in
the morning, the child queen met her
council. In the corridor at Windsor
there is a picture which commentaries
the event. Never, It has been said by
an eyewitness, wal anything like the
first impression sho produced or the
chorus Of praise and admiration which
was raised about her name and be-
havior, certainly not without justice.
Her extreme youth and inexperience
and the ignorance OF the world concern
ing her-for she had lived in complete
seclusion-excited interest and curiOs-
ity.
Asked whether che would enter the
room accompanied by the great officers
Of state, she said she would come in
alone. Accordingly when all the lords
Of the privy council were assembled the
folding doors we're thrown open, and
the queen entered, quite plainly dressed
and IN mourning, and took her seat for
the first time, a young girl among a
crowd Of men, including al the most
famous and powerful of her subjects.
She bowed and read her speech, handed
to her by the prime minister, Lord Mol
bourne, in a clear and firm voice and
then took the oath for the security Of
the Church Of Scotland.
Immediately the privy councillors
were sworn, the royal Dukes of Cum
berland and Sussex first by themselves.
II was observed that as these two old
men, her u%noles, knelt before her, swear
ing allegiance, she blushed up to the
eyes, as If she felt the contrast between
their civil and natural relations. Her
manner was very graceful and engage
ing, and she kissed them both, and ris-
ing from her chair moved toward the
Duke Of Sussex, who was too infirm to
reach her. -Fortnightly Review.
