An Armenian Legend.

Ararat, one of the most majestic
mountains in the world, rises 1900
feet above the vast fiat plain which
bears its name and reigns over the sur
rounding mountains. Early in the morn
ing, while all the valleys of Ararat and
the neighboring mountains are buried
in shadow, the white top of the Scrip
tural mountain CLEANS beautiful in the
first beams of the sun.
The Armenian people tell this story
about the inhabitants of Pharbee:
Once the devil and a Pharbee man
laid wager as to which should first
see the sun. The one who saw it first
was to box the others ears. Very
well, said the Armenian, and he lay
down and slept sweetly, while the dew
il, itching to punish his enemy, stood
looking eastward, and with eager eyes
watched the whole night for the sunrise.
Early in the morning, the Pharbee man
rose, and pointing to the top of Ararat,
which was already shining in the sun,
cried joyfully, II see it, The devil
was vanquished. The Pharbee man,
with his strong hand, boxed the devils
ears. Ever since that time, the devil
has been afraid of the people of the Ar
menian village of Pharbee. .-Woman's S

The pegging or marking of drinking
cups was introduced by st. Dunstan to
check the incorporate habits of the
times by preventing one man from tax.
Ing a larger draft than his companions.
But the device proved the means of in-
creasing the evil it was intended TO
remedy, for, refining upon st. Dlnstan's
plan, the most abstemious were required
to drink precisely to peg or pin,
whether they could soberly take such
quantity of liquor or not. To the use
of such cups may be traced the origin
of many of our popular phrases. When
a person is much eiatcd, we will say,
He is in merry pin, and Ho is a
peg too low, when he is not in good
spirits. On the same principle we talk
of taking n man down peg" when
we would check forwardness. .-Sala's

Congress Water.

How many people know that out by
the Greenough statue Of Washington,
east of the capitol, is vast and cav
ernous reservoir? Not one in thou
sand, but there it is, down in the bow
els Of the earth, and covered deep be-
meath the smooth surface of asphaltum.
Away back in the thirties congress pur-
chased spring over east of the present
site of Howard university. 1t is now
at the bottom of the unused distrihut-
ing reservoir. From it pipes We're laid
to the capitol, and in a pond east of the
building the water flowed and was held
for the use of the early Solons of the
hill. In 1876 the reservoir was arched
over and covered in, but there it is, and
If congress has been neglectful of the
city's interests as to a water supply,
the reason is not hard to find. Congress
has its own private tap. Pipes run into
the capitol, furnishing the boilers, cool
ers and water for cleaning purposes.
There is an overflow pipe that runs into
the pretty little grotto below the senate
wing at one side of the main sidewalk
and tinkles over the messy bank in
miniature cascade. Washington Post.

The "Growing Hand" For Plants.

tohave regular name. Some people will
read directions for preparing the soil
and planting the seed or slips and fol-
low them faithfully, and yet nothing
will grow, or if it grows at all it will be
stunted and almost worthless, while an
other, without half the care and trouble,
will have everything live and thrive.
81 saw little girl bring back what
appeared TO DO worthless sticks of some
plants which she had found in the
woods. Her mother wanted them to
live, and selecting the best she planted
and tended them with the greatest care.
The little girl took the ones that had
been discarded and started little gar
den,' as she called it, of her own. The
ones that received the attention died.
Those which the little girl stuck into the
ground lived and subsequently bloomed.
1t would appear as if plants had an affin-
ity for some people and not for others,

Washington is rapidly becoming u

who are devoting the remainder of their
lives to having good time In n quiet
way. There Ia n large colony Of such
families, and they contribute enormous
ly TO the general stock Of elegant and
comfortable Incidence for which the
city Is noted. Then there are the re-
tired army and navy officers. Their
name Is legion, and Washington is their
favorite place to live. You see them in
great numbers In the clubs, on the
thoroughfares, in society. Nor must
the widows be overlooked. There are
more widows In Washington than In
any other city In this country, size for
size. The widows of public men, of
army and navy officers, of private citi-
zens in all ranks of life, gravitate TO
the Capital City as the pleasantest place
they know Of TO pass the autumn of life.
The diplomatic corps comprises sever
al hundred more or less idle and fashion
able men and women. Literary and
scientific men, especially those enjoying
incomes and independence from inherit
ed or other sources, are numerous In
Washington. Always the city contains
thousands Of visitors attracted by the
peculiar interest which attaches to the
seat Of government.

ARTISTS OF THE ROUNDUP.


Old Time Texas Cowboys VASTLY Different
From Those of the Present Dny.
The old time cowboy ia no more. lie
passed in his checks with the FREQ grass
custom. The big pasture has intro
duced n new order of cowboy, who sleeps
in house and "obeys orders" or quits.
yhe old cowboy was the companion of
his boss and shared his pleasures and
his hardships.
No manager in this big hcadqnnrter
rockhouse reminded him of his inferior
rank in society, nor did any of the mod.
ern ranch accessories mar the common
dangers, the pleasures and the freedom
and equality of the whilom cowboy and
cowman. But the ranch in the olden
time was cottonwood loghouse to
cook in, and for roof and protection
from the weather the slicker was used.
and mother earth supplied their beds.
The broad range and the overhanging
sky answered for house and home. A
roundup in ls67-sO was not bounded
by wire fences, but the boys galloped out
of camp after breakfast, made wide
sweep, and all then drove toward
common center, and loi directly at that
point was gathered a herd of stock cat
tie of all brands, ready for the cut to
begin.
The high toned man was tabooed.
remember such man appeared at the
ranch Of j. T., In Shackleford county,
in 1869. He was a city fellow, and
would say THANK you" and such like.
His intense politeness and high toned
nonsense aggravated the boys nightly.
Jim b. in particular--poor fellow
was especially fretted by his nonsense,
ns he called 1t, and tried to ridicule II
out of him, but in vain. At last his
resentment ripened into genuine hatred
and it was hard to keep the peace be.
tween them, for the city fellow had
git too.
WE'LL one morning in 1869, at Noun
tain pass, in Taylor county, long before
any one lived in that section, Jim got
awfully mad and gave the city fellow a
cussing, whercupOn row resulted and
blodshed was barely prevented there
and then. We got the city fellow TO ride
off, and it looked like peace had return
ed, but one hour later Jim b. and his
amiable enemy met off at one side of
the roundup. happened TO be near. In
flash tho city chap ran before Jim,
dismounted, levcled his gun ON him and
demanded an apology or death.
Jim ierked out two six shooters, but
said nothing, and instantly the city
fellow fired. Poor Jim rolled off his
horse dead man. got to them Just
ss Jim fell. He died instantly, shot
through the heart. His slayer mounted
his horse and "lit out. We buried
jim and went ON with our herd, two
men short, but with no discordant ele-
ment among us.
Such was the old way. The boys were
courteous and kind, they were gener-
GUS and brave, industrious and honest,
but they would not stand any high toned
nonsense. A new era has set in. Which
is the better we cannot say, but one
thing is sure-with all his faults, and
they were many, the old time cowboy
was man to be trusted in peace or
war and was the very soul of honor

out. Breckinridge drove hot grounder
to Bassett who threw wildly to Rogers and
Simon tailed. In the last inning for
Providence, Lyons, Rogers and Bassett
died In regular order, and the TroJans
having the lead, the game was at an end.
The league leaders won the game on its
merits by superior stick work, fielding
and daring base running. The pony
battery did themselves proud, little
Donovan keeping the hits well scattered
excepting in two innings, and receiving
splendid support. Smith played
in brilliant style and Pickett,
in ths fielding honors. Sonn'0n BrecHin eu
ridge, johnson and Smith led the
batsmen. The errors OF the home team
were consolidated in the run getting i'm
nings, yet ID is fair to Murray and Lyons
to say that they made gallant attempts To
cover wide range of territory and made
some skillful captures. Lyons made a
magnificent catch. at full speed
in the fifth inning which stirred up much
enthusiasm, and Rogers handled some
badly thrown balls in dexterous style.
Cooney was kept hustling, and in
fact the fielding was quite gen.
orally distributed. The old League
umpire, Gaffney, ofiiciated, and
buted materially to the interest and en-
joyment of the game. Both teams left the
city this morning for Troy, and the tour
of the Grays involves an absence of 21
days. Manager Murray will make efforts
TO strengthen the team in the box and IN
the batting department. The record OF
five successive defeats at home may not
augur successful achievement abroad, but
the management are alive TO the defects in
the team and will seek 10 remedy them
before the second home series is inaugur-
ated. The score:
