subordinate lodges of Waco and the
citizens OF the city were read, in which
the members of the grand lodge and
their lady companions were invited to
take ride through the city.
The grand lodge passed a
resolution thanking the citizens
and the local lodges for their invita-

of the iuclemeht weather aud pressing
work on hand.
Grand Patriarch Spellmau and all
the grand officers were in their accus.

SISTER LEASE VICTORIOUS.
The Governor Cannot Gust Her Without
Preferring and Sustaining Charges.

TOPEKA, Feb. 9.-Mrs. Mary E.
Lease today won the case in the SUI
preme court which decides that the
governor cannot remove her as mem
Der of the state board of charities, of
which board she remains president.
The court was unanimous, Populist
members concurring with Republi-
cans. The court holds that Governor
Lewelling had no authority to ap
point successor to Mrs. Lease, who
was appointed for term of years and
confirmed by the senate, unless charges
are preferred and sustained, and that
j. W. Freedom, who has been sitting
with the board for several weeks is all
usurper. Mrs Lease said just after
the decision was made: II had in
tended to resign my place on the
board aS soon as the decision was
handed down in my favor, as the sal
airy connected with it is mere pit
lance, but have changed my mind and
propose to hold the place at all
hazards. My reasons for this are
simply these: | have been informed
that it is the plan of the administra-
ton to bring charges against me for
bribery in the letting of contracts for
supplies for state institutions. All
such charges are false, and propose
to make them prove any charges they
may prefer or hold their peace"

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

vive 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" Fiery 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 "old 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 flints 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 well-known north-country
family. His tomb is pointed out in the
ruined church of Stockburn, where
also he lay in efigy with the worm"
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 field
close by the stone round which the
"worm" coiled itself is still to be seen.
This story, so circumstantial in it's de-
tails, can hardly be entirely fabulous.
How then did it riseP THE ichthyo-
saurus and plesiosaurus," says S.
Lang, gave Tennyson the dragons of
the prime" May not some descendant
of these creatures have fingered in re-
mote places, one here and another
there, even in historic times?

DANGERS OF EMOTION.
The Part That Fear Plays In Rendering
People Liable to Disease.

Inc EarJ InaG rear rays In Rendering
People Liable to Disease.
Many violent maladies have been
supposed to have been produced under
the operation of moral influences. Sem
merit believed that fear was capable of
provoking erysipelas. Hoffman also.
made fear and the adynamy resulting
from it play an important part as the
predisposing cause of contagious dis
eases. DR.. II. luke believed, in par
ticular, in the influence of fear upon
the contagion of rabies. The break
ing out of rabies has been sometimes
observed after psychic emotion, says
Popular Science Monthly. Bouley
cites the case of dog which went mad
after having been immersed in water.
Camilla cites similar case in man,
and another in woman who was
frightened by a drunken man. In
order to avoid the influence of fear,
Desgenettes concealed the name and
the nature of the plague; and it is to
be remarked further that the Turks
died less rapidly of it than the Chris
tians. Cullen supposed that sad emo
tions favor contagious diseases, and
particularly the plague.
This disposition to contagion after
violent emotions which determine dis
charge of the secretions may be partly
explained by the fact that the con-
ditions that diminish the proportion of
the liquids of the blood favor absorb
ton. 1t, however, seems at least prob
able that the nervous discharge is ac-
companied by alterations of the blood
and notifications of the interior me-
dunn which Justify the popular express
sions concerning having bad blood and
turning the blood.

EVOLUTION AND PARTRlDGEs.
Singular Changes in These Birds In the
Canary Islands.

Singular Changes in These Birds In the
Canary Islands.
A striking example of the effects of
environment and changed conditions
of life upon the forms of animals is
furnished by species of partridge liv-
ing in the Canary islands. About four
hundred years ago the Spaniards intro
duced the red-legged partridge from
Europe into these islands, and the
bird has continued to flourish there;
but, as recent examination proves, it
has undergone notifications clearly
brought about by the conditions under
which it lives.
It's back has turned from russell color
to gray. This looks like case of pro-
tective coIoratiou, since the bird passes
it's life amid gray volcanic rocks.
Then its bealo has become one-fourth
longer and thicker than that of its an
,eestors and of it's European relatives,
md its legs also have increased in
ength and grown stouter
These changes are exactly such as
we're needed to suit it to the life that
1t is now compelled to lead amid the
rocks and on the mountain sides of the
Islands, where more vigorous physic-
81 development is required than was
needed upon the plains of England and
France.
AS has been remarked, if such
changes can be wrought by nature in
the animal form in four hundred years,
what MIGHT NOT boua haau onoom.
