A Remarkable Degree of Interest

comparative easiness with which the
Brazilian insurgent ship Aquidaban
moves in and out of the harbor of Rio,
under the CALLING fire of the forts, has

be readily moved about harbor and
would be able to fight on even terms

partner, was held to answer before the
superior court yesterday for assisting
Evans to escape. Another charge OF
highway robbery was then filed against
him. Several witnesses have been sum-
moned, but only Sheriff Scott and Jailer
Ben Scott were examined. The sheriff
and jailer told the story of Evans es-
cape ands Morell's connection with it.
Justice Austin asked Morell if he had
any witnesses to call, and on receiving a
negative reply, held him to answer be-
fore the superior court with bonds at
$4,000. The court Immediately took up
another complaint that had been
brought against the prisoner, charging
him with highway robbery in stealing
,Cochran's horse and cart. The COM
plant was read to Morell, who said he
had nothing to say. His bail on this
charge was put at $1,000 also. This

HE WILL RETIRE ABOUT EASTER

LONDON, Feb. 27.-The Evening News
of Edinburgh announces on what it calls
reliable authority that Gladstone has
resigned as premier, but will retain a
place in the cabinet and continue to rep
resent Midlothian. Though following
many contradicted rumors regarding the
intentions of the great statesman, it
meets a wide belief in well-informed
circles and is causing the greatest ex-
element and hurried exchange of tele-
grams between the leaders and their in
innate advisers. That he has actually
rendered his resignation is not counted
on SO much as that he is expected to
take such action within the present
week. The reasons assigned are cata-
ract is forming in one eye, which must
soon be operated on, and the criticisms
of the liberal papers on him for not
forcing the fight on the house of lords.
To the Associated Press reporter Glad
stones private secretary would not deny
the truth of the published rumor, re-
strictlng himself to the statement that
it was unauthorized.

a TrIck OF the French shawl rrade,

The Introduction of the perfume
called patchouly was caused by the de-
sire of French shawlmakers to deceive
their customers. When shawls were
first brought from India they were per-
fumed with patchouly, an extract of
an Indian plant. The French soon
learned to initiate the shawls topper
fection, but the patchouly bothered
them, as they could find no substitute
for it, and this fact was used as the
surest means of distinguishing the
genuine India shawls from the French
counterfeit. At last somebody discov-
cred the secret and brought quantity
of patchouly to France. For time the
discoveries kept the matter to them
selves and reaped a harvest; then some
one gave away the secret. The per-
fume soon became popular and has
never since passed completely out of
use, though several times superseded
temporarily by other perfumes.

The highest 1nhabited spots.

The two villages which have the
greatest elevation above the level of
the sea, or, in other words, the two
highest inhabited spots on earth, are
Arevichiary and Muccapata, mining
camps in the Andes. Each of these
places has an average of 200 inhabitants
the year round. The elevation of Are
vichiary is exactly 1860 feet; that of
Muccapata, 16, 153. The observations
which established these heights were
taken by Arthur Pearce. the engineer,
and are reliable.
The experience of Geo. A. Apgar, of
German Valley, N. J., is well worth re-
membering. He was troubled with
chronic diarrhea and doctored for five
months and was treated by four differ
ent doctors without benefit. He then
began using Cham berlain's Collie, Chol-
era and Diarrhna Remedy, of which one
bottle effected a complete cure. It is

LEGENDS OF MONSTERS.
A Possible Cause of the Tales That Sur
vive in English Folk Lore.

Possible Cause of the Tales That Sur
in English Folk Lore.
Every reader of north-country lore
and legend, says an English paper, is
familiar with the stories of monstrouS
''worms," dragons" ''fery flying ser
pents" and the like, which are said to
have located themselves in various dis
tricts Sexhow, under the shadow of
the Cleveland Hills, Teesgirt, Stock
burn and Lambton upon the Wear are
instances. Men have laughed at the
stories, calling them ssold wives tales,''
but forgetting that even these may
nay, must-have had, somewhere and
sometime, some foundation in fact.
The old stories of elves and fairies,
which amused and frightened children
in bygone days, may we'll, as Kingsley
points out, have had their origin in
memories of the feeble folk of the
stone age who Clipped fints into rude
knives and arrowheads, and who lin
gered in out-of-the-way caves, it may
be, long after the bulk of them had
been slain or driven away into the far
north by stronger and better armed
tribes. So the stories of these terrible
monsters may not be so foolish as they
appear. Take, for instance, the legend
of the Stockburn worm. The name of
the man who slew it is preserved, and
is that of a well-known north-country
family. His tomb is pointed out in the
ruined church of Stockburn, where
also he lay in effgy with the ssworm''
at his feet until, the sacred edifice fall
ing into decay, the monument was re-
moved to Stockburn hall adjacent.
There, too, is preserved the falchion or
sword with which the monster was
slain, and which was shown to every
fresh bishop of Durham as he entered
his diocese = a custom which only
ceased in the days of Van Mildret, the
last of the prince bishops In a field
close by the stone round which the
worm" coiled itself is still to be seen.
This story, so circumstantial in its de-
tails, can hardly be entirely fabulous.
How then did it rise? 1.-The ichthyo-
saurus and plesiosaurus,' says S.
Lang, Hgave Tennyson the dragons of
the prime.'n May not soma descendant
of these creatures have fingered in re-
mote places, one here and another
there, even in historic times?
