Bette did not doubt that Pierre, whom
for some reason she called Peter, also
would be just like his grandfather when
ne grew up. And she said proudly, "Oh,

Pierre looked at her admiringly, and

What Stevenson thought of his dis

him as Scot rather than as a

letter Of Andrew Lang, who writes:

METHUsELAHs FATE.
Did He Perish in the Destruction of
the Earth By the Flood.


While studying the earlier chapters
in the book Of Genesis the other even
ing, and more particularly those chap
tiers which treat of the generations Of
Adam. was led to investigate the life
of Methuselah, whose 500 years have
out-spanned any other recorded human
life, and much to my surprise 1 found
that all we know of this long life is
found in five verses, the twenty-frst.
twenty-second, twenty-ffth, twenty
sixth and twenty-seventh, of the first
chapter of Genesis. In the course of my
investigation, however, CHANGED upon
some curious figures, which seem to
me to shed light upon the cause of his
death. and TO indicate that Methuselah
was drowned in the flood.
1t appears from the twenty-fifth verse
Of the fifth chapter that Methuselah
was the father Of Lamech, and that
after the birth of Lamech he lived 1872
years. Lamech was the father of Noah,
and was 1S2 years old at the birth of
the latter. Hence Methuselah lived
just GOO years after the birth of Noah.
In the sixth verse of the seventh
chapter we read: Noah was SEQ years
old when the food OF waters was upon
the earth" Therefore we are justified,
NlellAllo LlC COnLIlDuOOI u the san ran
cisco Chronicle, in surmising that the
ancient patriarch, Methuselah, was
among those who were swept from the
earth by the great deluge, and more
particularly so when we read al lite
further ons that it was in the second
month of the six hundredth year that
the flood occurred. For Methuselah
must have died within those two
months, and it is therefore almost a
certainty that he persisted in the flood
of waters
Not only do these calculations point
to the probable cause Of the death OF
Methuselah, but they also furnish an
explanation for the silence Of the sa-
cred narrative regarding lis i.fe, for
the verses Immediately succeeding
those already quoted are ID the eject
that the people Of the earth were do
stroyed because of their corruption.
and we are thus driven to the conc,u-
sion that the gray hairs of MethuseIah
had not grown gray in the >ause of
righteousness. and that, therefore.
there was nothing good to be written
concerning him such as was written
OF his godly father Enoch OF of his
righteous descendant Noah.

that morning. On the hill slopes outside
the fort their horses were grazing, and
leaning against the palisades was a col
lection OF traders, peddlers and Indians.
Cows and pigs were feeding in the
streets, and over Beetman's swamp a
flock of wild turkeys rose like a cloud
and disappeared. The English ships
lay with sails reefed.
1t was q peaceful and pretty scene, and
as Governor StuyveSant looked upon III
his temper burst like a whirlwind. Ten

tones in gray, fawn, and mushroom
tints, the new colors, champagne, a
pinkish yellow or yellowish pink, and
a very taking tone of creamy gray,
being included. She is having q num-

The seams are all sewn inside, so that
they make the hands look very small.
Others are in dogskin, lined with thin
silk, warm and coy. AS to the buck

The trousSeau wells are all made

They are in two sizes, the larger being
suited to even the arrangement for
fastening them on in a most extensive

BLUE EYES BALEFUL.
rAIl the Year Round.l

Blue or light-colored eyes are popu-
larly supposed to most frequently
carry the baleful influence. and to
counteract this. blue beads are some
times worn. Cases are cited of men
able to overthrow carriage merely
by looking at it, to wither UP q. bean
field, and so on. 1t is said that the be-
lief in the evil eye among Christians,
Jews and Mohammedans is stronger
even than their religious beliefs.
The peasants try to read good and
bad luck from the color and growth
of a horses hair. This habit they
seem to have got from the Bedouin
Arabs, but are not so expert in the
signs. A chestnut horse, for good
luck. must have either both hind legs
or else the near leg white. If only the
off hind leg is white, that is bad luck.
Then by the way the hair grows on
the neck it is augured whether the
owner will be killed by a spear or a
dagger; and, if horse begins TO dig
with its feet, that means that the
owner is soon to be buried.

HIS STAGE TRICKS.
Things Johnny Drew Does Not Do
In Private Life.

When the grease paint is off his face
there is little or no suggestion of the
actor about John Drew. He does not
pull his mustache at home as he does
on the stage, or roll his eyes in the
same doleful way, or even slick down
the hair on the top of his head, and
this latter trick is so pronounced in
all his performances and seems so i'm
possible of disassociation from the man
that its omission in private is an alb
solute triumph for his duality.
Nobody who has ever seen Mr. Drew
put up his right hand and with the
palm polish the hair OF the upper right
side of his head. with sometimes a quiet
little flip of a finger or two over the
hair on the left side, would fency that
1T was anything but a chronic habit
attaching to the mans whole life, says
the Philadelphia Press. It is habit,
but 1t is a habit of the stage, and it
bothers Mr.. Drew nowhere else.

for several months of VOyaging in
pleasant waters.
Stevensons First Voyage.
This first voyage stretched away to
The Casco with the Stevenson party
aboard-Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson and
Lloyd Osborne-touched at the Mar
quesas and then bore away for Tahiti.
The log-I had it afterward and pub
lished it-showed uninterrupted sail
ing with little incident by the way.
Between the Marquesas and Tahiti
there was some rough weather and a
topnast was sprung, which delayed
them for repairs when they reached
Papeete. Here the cook ran away and
1t became necessary to replace him;
the successor seems to have been a
very poor cook indeed. Then they
bore away northward to Honolulu, a
voyage of nasty weather. AT Homo
lulu the yacht was given up and sent
back to San Francisco. Here, or at
Waikiki, the party stayed with Mrs.
Strong, Lloyd Osborne's sister. There
was for them, as for all who choose to
stay at the watering place of the
Hawaiian capital, much of pleasure
here and the tarrying was prolonged.
A Further Voyage.
But the dry weather came, and it is
not a pleasant season in the Hawaiian
islands. Then. too. Stevenson had not
yet seen all the South Seas, but only
a little stretch of it's eastern edge. He
wanted more. Then it was he formed
the scheme of taking a great moral
show through the islands. This plan
he essayed to carry out with the
assistance of Osborne and Strong. 1t
centred around a stereopticon, which
Strong was to manage; a lecture based
on the slides they were able to col
lect, a feature Of the entertainment
which Stevenson fancied came in his
own line, and @ general supervision of
the whole affair, which was to be
Osbornes share in the entertainment.
This plan was reluctantly laid aside
by reason of the incomprehensibility
to any South Sea audience of Steven
sons lectures. In place of this scheme
they engaged a trading schooner to
take them a trip through the Line
islands. Then for the first time Stew
enson learned to look with respect
upon cockroach. for he met with eX-
chooses a trading schooner for passage
along the line in the Pacific. If there
is any objurgation of the cockroach
in any of Stevenson's South Sea tales,
as indeed there is, it is all founded on
this experience in the island trader,
