Il is wonderful how every little duty
and necessity Of every day life is sur
rounded with a halo of charm and legend
airy lore. Some things seem 70 simple
and practical that we imagine that moth
ing of a weird description can possibly
be associated with them. yet in manyin-
stances the simpler the operation the
greater the affinity it appears to have
for things supernatural.
Ofhand, we should say that washing
cannot be invested with any romance,
but old wives will tell Us otherwise.
Woe bctide the person that dares to wash
his or her hands in the same basin Of
water that has been or viii be used by
another individual! They will be sure
to quarrel. Or, again, if you wipe your
hands upon the same towel and at the
same time with another person, you and
that person will at some period Of your
lifetime go begging together.
The late Cuthbert Bede, however, tells
US that he was informed in Rutland
shire that these dreadful things would not
happen provided you first made the sign
of the cross owe the water. Another
curious thing, too, in connection with
this is that the quarrel only supervened
when a basin Of water was used. You
might wash together in a running stream
as often as you pleased and no i'll effect
would come of it.-Chambers' Journal.

Ancient American Cloths.

The Mexicans spun and wove cotton,
and the Peruvians both cotton and wool,
into fabrics which the Spaniards found
in every way equal to anything they
had known at home. The Peruvians,
in particular, were adopts in the art.
When Pizarro made the conquest of
their country in 1888, he found in the
empire of the Incas four species of IN
imals little different from each other,
which he called the sheep of the country
(carneros de la terra), because of their
general resemblance to the Spanish
sheep, and the similar utilization of it's
fiber.
Two of the species, the llama and
alpaca, had been in a state of domestica-
ton from time immemorial, the remain
ing varieties, the vicuna and the guam
AGA, living in a wild state in the fast
nesses of the Andes. From a variety Of
sources we are able to obtain minute de-
tails of the Importance which the gov
eminent attached to these animals. and

A Horid SAMPLE.

A commercial traveller whom I know
carries perhaps the most unique "sam-
pie" in the drumming profession. 1t is
nothing less than a human body, three
years old, an example of the efficacy of a
certain embalming fluid. For three
year this mummy has been transported
on the railroads as d sample case would
be, and, indeed, there is no outward sign
which would indicate the uncanny nat
ure of its contents. In this instance the
longer the body is preserved the more of
an advertisement it is for the fuidin the

The wife of a wealthy but careful
American gentleman objected to ask for
the housekeeping money as it was re-
quired, in small sums, on the ground
that it was a waste of time and deroga-
tory to her. She demanded a banking
account, and finally, by her persistence,
obtained one. But her husband had his
revenge. At his death he left her all he
possessed on this condition:
The amount, over a million dollars, was
to be handed to her, personally, at his
lawyers Office, at the rate of 500 an hour
during twelve hours of each day. Thus
was she, in the event of failure to set
the condition aside, condemned to spend
over $1,000 hours at or neal the abode of
the man of law, or nearly two years and
a quarter, reckoning twelve hours to the
day.-London Tit-Bits.

Transportation from Pamama I'm 1874.
We paid our money and went on board
the vessel, which was anchored about
three miles from shore. We found q
promiscuous crowd from every nation
under heaven, the predominating type
being that OF the American rough. The
deck was so densely packed with men
from stem TO stern that we could scarce
~ o Many were PROSTATE with
sickness, or supported by friends, Or
lying in hammocks swung along the
side rigging. All day long this crowd
Of men were seething, swaying, quar-
reling and curstng. No food was pro-
vided. and hunger and thirst gave an
edge 20 the bad passions of the mob.
The captain, a United States naval
officer, had not assumed command be-
eau he was shut off from his men by
the chaotic crowd. At length, toward
evening, he stood on the quarter deck
and shouted above the angry mutters
and jargon of the crowd that the deck
must be cleared for his men so that they
could raise the anchor. | had conferred
with a few of the more respectable look
ingt passengers, and we had concluded
that there were more men on board than
our contract stipulated for, 81 we replied
to the captain that the anchor could not
be raised until we had had a count
The effort to get the men II order and
to set them in motion so that they could
pass around in line required two or three
hours, but was at last accomplished, and
The result showed 44O persons on board
besides the sailors. This attempt of the
consignee to increase his enormous profits
dishonesty at the risk and discomfort of
the passengers excited torrent of indig-
nation. Infanmatory speeches were
made, and a committee was appointed
to visit the consignee and adjust the
matter. About 100 aen left for the
shore in boats that the natives had in
waiting about the vessel, and those who
remained agreed to keep the ship at an
Choir until they should return.-John c.

Queen Nictoria's Special Edition.

Aroyal edition of The Daily Telegraph
is prepared and issued daily for the
queens special sight. This has been the
case ever since the death Of the prince
consort, on which occasion The Tele-
graph obituary notice SO pleased the
queen that she ordered a copy of the
paper to be sent to each of her palaces
daily. Since then twenty-five copies of
the newspaper have been issued on the
best of paper in truly royal style; SO that
if her majesty should take a fancy to
glance down the columns of this widely
circulated daily she has the privilege
of knowing that she reads an edition
expressly prepared for herself.-Irish

The Towers of Silence.

In Persia stand two towers called by
the ParSee the Towers of Silence" Ac-
cording to the religion they never bury
their dead, but have the body exposed
on the top of n of these towers until
the sun and the rain and the fowls of the
air have cleaned the bones of all flesh.
The bones are then collected and placed
in the other tower. These Parsees, who
are followers of Zoroaster, and very
devout, have almost disappeared as a
people, there being only about 5000 o.
them at the present time.-Detroit Free
