MOON MYTHS.
The Satellite an Object of Worship and
Superstition In Nearly All Nations.

II Nearly All ~>atiODss
The moon has been worshiped among
nearly all the nations of the world from
time immemorial; indeed, her cult has
been asserted to be much older estab-
lished than sun-worship, says All the
Year Round
The Peruvian peasant hurries home
out of the old moonshine, afraid of the
stern eyes of Mama Quilla, and the
Egyptian fellah lounges across the,
sands where the sphinx shadow lies
black at his feet, with a prayer on his
lips or in his heart to Thoth-Thoth,
the Master of Wisdom, the Lord of the
Ibis, in whose absence the fair land of
Kehm has been brought down very
low.
Swabian girls still refuse to spin by,

whose flower is the flax and whose de-
light is to reward Industrious little

An Elephant as q window-Cleaner and
an Advertisement


Gabriel Rossetti had penchant for

prevented at one time from purchasing
for very large sum young elephant.
Browning said to him: ''What on earth
will you do with him. Gabriel?" and
Rossetti replied: 81 mean to teach him
10 clean the windows. Then, when
some one passes by the house he viii
see the elephant cleaning the windows
and will say: Who lives in that house?
and people will tell him: %, that's a
painter called Rossetti,' and he will
say: Il think should like to buy one OF
that mans pictures so he will ring
10 come in, and l shall sell him pic
ture."
One of the best of the Rossetti stories
concerns Mr.. Whistler. Once Rossetti
asked Whistler how he liked a sketch
he had made for a picture. 1t has
good points" was the answer: go
ahead with it" A few weeks later ne
was asked about the picture. Doing
famously," said Rossetti; I've ordered
a stunning frame for it Some time
afterward Mr.. Whistler saw the canvas,
framed, but still virgin of paint brush

setti. "bu. I've written sonnet on the

When the recitation was over Mr.

WELL PAID FOR A FLOGGING
how Q Poor Naturalist Got the Beginning
of Large Fortune.

John James Mayo, quiet, middle
aged man, has had career as roman
Tic as that of Monte Crlsto. Mage
saws the Gillian Times, is now a Guate
malan millionaire, who lives nins
months Of the year in Paris. Twenty
years ago he was poor English collec
tor of insects in Guatemala, and also
acted as the British vice consul at Sar
Jose.
One day Commandante Gonzalez or
dered Mage to appear before him,
Mayo sent word that be would come in
short time. This ipcensed the com.
fmandante, and he sent a file of soldiers
after Mage, and when the insect col
lector appeared ordered seventy-five
lashes TO be laid upon his bare back
This was done very thoroughly, and,
when it was finished, Gonzalez shoutedi
''Givs him twenty-five more foI
luck"
When Mage recovered, which was
only after careful nursing, as his bach
was badly cut up, he made formal
complaint to the British government.
The result was that Guatemala was or.
dered to punish Gonzalez, and to pay
Mage five hundred dollars Zone hun,
dred pounds sterling) for every lash he
had received. In default of this, Eng.
lish cruisers would shell San Jose and
other coast cities.
Guatemala readily punished Gonzalez,
but tried hard to evade paying fifty
thousand dollars to Mage. The Brit
'ish, however, were memorable, and the
poor collector was made comparative
lly rich man in one day. AS he had
more coin than any man in the country
at that time, President Barrios went
into partnership with him.
/; Mayo became one OF the largest cot.
fee planters, and also secured the con.
tract for building docks in the ports,

docks without paying toll to Mago.
