The Greek conception Of their devil,
whom they call Yama, makes that
parsonage one Of the most satanic Of the
whole devil tribe. According to their
ideas Of him, he is 240 miles high and
the hairs on his body stand out like
palm trees on a mountain side. He
Furnishes the doomed beings submitted
to his charge by putting them in beds
Of burning oil, saving their bodies in
two, pouring molten lead in their ars
and such other little pranks as pulling
out their tongues, toe and finger nails
and gouging out their eyes. He is a
heartless old devil Of the most devilish
kind and has many other exquisite
little fortunes laid up for the helpless
wretch consigned to his chamber Of
horrors. st. Louis Republic.

The Eggs He Meant.

An Irish witticism is related by the
Portland, Maine, Transcript of a Com
mescial erect contractor, who fur
nishes rock ballast for vessels depart
ing from Portland. 1t seems that one
captain was very particular and wanted
" single" rock-that is, small stone
from the sea beach-but was indignant
when he found most Of the ballast as
large or larger than paving stones. He
expressed his feelings in a most deci-
ded manner, but the reply was equally
indignant, or at least seemed to be
when the contractor explained What
would yez have? Faith, these are no
bigger than eggs. as 1 said l wud-
none Of yez miserable little Yankee
eggs, but big goose eggs, such as we
have in ould Ireland, big as yer head"

The latest charge brought against
the bicycle is that it Injuries the book
sellers trade. Books never have the
same sale in Summer as in Winter,
despite the fact that paper covered
novels are in demand by the Ioungers
on the seashore, but this year there is
said TO be a more than usual depres-
sion in the trade. The wheelman is
blamed for this, as it is logically argued
that while INDUCING in his favorite
pastime he cannot possibly be reading
a book, and that when he gets home
from his spin he is too tired to read.
AS the cycling craze is constantly in
creasing the result Of its growth upon
literature would make an interesting

A recent decision by the Minnesota
Supreme Court indicates that Mime
sofa husbands with hot-tempered
wives will either have to keep them at
home or send them out calling muz-
zled. The decision is in the case OF
William PETIT Morgan against Esther
Kennedy ct al. and William Kennedy,
her husband. The Court holds that
the common law rule making the hus-
band liable for damages for slanderous
words uttered by his wife, even
though he was not present and had
not participated, is not abrogated by
any OF the statutes relating to mar
riages, but still holds good. The Court
finds that the words used by Mrs. Ken
nedy against Morgan, she has been
drunk all throughout Thanksgiving
week." involve moral terpitude on the
plaintiffs part, as we'll as charging him
with the commission of an indictable
oifense.
There are some gossiping and lying
women In this neck of the woods that
their husbands had better keep an eye
on. 1t might rave the husbands some

The dwelling house owned by Mrs.
Alice Hartley Of Meadow Lake, CAL,
was destroyed by fire a few days ago,
together with nearly all the contents,
says the Nevada City Transcript. The
furniture was most Of it destroyed,
also the piano and a lot Of valuable
paintings produced by Mrs. Hartley.
II is supposed the fire was the work OF
an incendiary, but exactly what the
motive was is hard to discern. No
body had been living in the house for
a long time and no one had been see
about the place. 1t is not likely that
the dwelling had been robbed and
then fred to cover up the crime, as
there was nothing in the house of much
value that could be carried away with
out being observed. The loss amounted
to over $1,000, there being no insur-
ance. Mrs. Hartley, as most of our
readers know, is imprisoned in the
Nevada state prison for the murder of
Senator Foley.

Italian Superstition.

Superstition reigns tyranically in
many rural districts in Italy. Lately
a fortune teller prophesied to a young
farmer and his sister, living near Motto,
Sicily. that on the evening before a
certain feast day both would die a vio-
lent death. This so affected the minds
Of the poor dupes that they became in
sane and rushed shrieking through the
streets. A brother of these unfortu-
mates then came somehow to the con-
clusion that the calamity was due to
the witchcraft of their stepmother. and
in a fit Of blind rage he killed the poor
woman with a hoe.-Philadelphia Led

Sir Wilfrid Lawson says that he
never received a knockdown till, espy-
ing a laborer walking along with the
old familiar black bottle protruding
from his pocket, he entered into con-
v~ersation with him and pointed out
the misery which had resulted from
the bottle and earnestly exhorted the
man to fee from its contents. The man
was 80 overcome that he took out the
receptacle and emptied the liquor into
the road. Sir Wilfrid's face beamed
with pleasure, and, handing the man
a ~sixpence, he said: "Take that, it
will buy you something BETTER" The
man, to the disgust Of Sir Wilfrid, en-
tered a public house and spent the
sixpence in beer. The liquor he had
thrown away was cold tea.
