How MYTHS Originate.

No doubt many legends Of the
ancient world, though not really his
tory, are myths which have arisen by
reasoning on actual events as definite
as that which, some four years ago, was
terrifying the peasant mind in North
Germany, and especially in Posen. The
report had spread far and vide that all
Catholic children with black hair and
blue eyes were 10 be sent out of the
country, some said TO Russia, while
others declared it was the King of
Prussia who had been playing cards
with the Sultan OF Turkey, and had
staked and lost 10000 fair-haired, blue
eyed children; and there we're Moors
travelling about in covered carts to
collect them; and the schoolmasters
we're helping, for they were TO have
s5 for every child they handed over.
For time the popular ez-
citement was quite serious; the pa
rents kept the children away from
school and hid them, and when they
appeared in the streets OF the market
town the little ones chung to them with
terrified looks. DIR. Schwartz, the
well.known mythologist, took the
pains 10 trace the rnmor to its
source. One thing was quite plain,
that its prime cause was that grave
and learned body, the Anthropological
Society OF Berlin, who, without q
thought Of the commotion they were
stirring mp, had, in order 10 class the
population as 10 race. induced the au-
thorities 10 have a census made
throughout the local schools to ascer-
tain the color Of the children's skin,
hair and eyes. Had il been only the
boys, TO the Government inspection OF
whom for military CONSUMPTION the
German peasants are only too well &C
customed, nothing would heve been
thought OF IL; but why should the off.

Ennerlments MIN Onium SMOKING.

One Herr Maclay, in the course Of a
stay at Hong Kong, made an experiment
upon his own body which would appear
TO be pretty conclusive as to the effect of
opium-smoking. After fasting eighteen
hours, he smoked twenty-seven pipes,
holding in all 107 grains of the opium
used by the Chinese. 1t is interesting
to know that after the third pipe he
ceased to feel hungry, and the fifth pipe
left him unable to walk about comforta
bly,; the seventh brought his pulse
down from eighty-six TO seventy; the
twelfth caused singing in the ears, and
the thirteenth heavy fit of laughter.
Twenty-Five pipes affected his hearing,
but, within an hour after the trial, which
had only lasted about 100 minutes, he
was able 20 go home and 60 to bed,
where he slept so soundly as 20 wake up
fairly fresh and hungry the next morn
ing. During the whole experiment, he
had no dreams or Authorizations of any
sort whatever.
