sCYLLA AND cHARYBDlS.
The NEUROLOGICAL Story of Two Famous
. Monsters. -*

SC LA AMI IFAH Z 6OAS.
| The Neurological Story of Two Fam Gus
M. Monsters.
I In ancient writings Scylla and
Charybdis are always mentioned in con-
junction and interesting myths are con-
nected with them. Scylla is rocky
cape on the west coast of South Italy,
jutting out into the sea SO as to form a
small peninsula at the northern en-
trance to the Straits Of Mesina. Early
Ill the fifth century, B. c., fort was
built upon the rock, and in course OF
time a small town grew up, struggling
down the slopes toward the sea-. The
ancients looked upon the navigation Of
this place as attended by great peril
though at the present day the danger
is not more than attends the doubling
of any ordinary cape. 1t is no wonder,
however, that the ancients considered
it dangerous point, for, according to
Homeric legend, the rock was the home
Of a vicious monster called Scylla, pos
sessing twelve feet six long necks, six
big mouths, with three rows Of sharp
teeth in each and who barked like a
dog. This hideous monster, they be-
lieved, was ever ready to pounce down
upon and destroy ships whenever op-
portunity occurred. If they were fortu-
nate enough to escape Scylla they We're
still in danger Of running into Charyb-
dis unless they kept d sharp lookout.
Galofaro is the modern name of Charyb-
dis, and it is celebrated whirlpool in
the Straits of Messina Homer places
Charybdis exactly opposite to Scylla,
probably to exaggerate the danger OF
the navigation, although it is no+ I'M
probable that the whirlpool may ha7,
changed it's situation since his day.
Even at the present day the navigation
of this whirlpool is considered very per-
ilous, and it must have been extremely
so to the open ships of the ancients.
It is described as being IAN agitated
water of from seventy to ninety fathoms
in depth, circ]ing in quick eddies." In
this whirlpool. according to ancient be-
lief, dwelt the monster Cha1ybdis, who
three times each day sucked down all
the water of the sea and three times
each day threw it up again, destroy
ing everything that came within its
reach. d. V. T.
1t Is Common.
So are the stars and the arching skies,
So are the smiles in the childrens eyes:
Common the lfe-giving breath of the
spring;
So are the songs which the wild birds
Blessed be God, they are common.
Common the grass in It's glowing green
So is the waters glist'ning sheen;
Common the springs Of love and mirth,
So are the holiest gifts of earth.
Common the fragrance of rosy June,
SO is the generous harvest noon:
So are the towering, mighty hills,
So are the tWittering, trick1ing rills.
Common the beautiful tints of fall,
SO is the sun, which is over all:
Common the rain, with it's pattering
feet,
SO is the bread which we daily eat
Blessed be God, they are common
SO is the sea in it's wild unrest,
kissing forever the earth's brown
breast:
So is the voice of undying prayer,
Evermore piercing the ambient air.
So unto all are the PROMISES given,
SO unto all is the hope of heaven:

She Is beautiful, stately and tall.

But that didn't count when We sat. ak

In the twilight that shrouded the stairs.
She is studying Latin and law;
She Is tracking old crimes to their

For Deep Mater.

In Montana public interest has not
been awakened In the 'deep-water
movement" yet the subject is one which
manifestiy is OF vital interest to the
future of the state. In general, the
scheme involves a waterway which will
open a direct course from Duluth to
New York for ocean going craft. From
twenty-five to thirty feet depth OF
water is proposed. Incident to the main
waterway. canals connecting Pittsburg
with Lake Erie and Chicago with
southern waters are projected. The
whole question OF a system OF locks has
been carefully studied; In a general
way the best routes for reaching the
seaboard have been Investigated.
The first annual convention OF the
Deep Waterways association was held
last September in the city OF Cleveland.
We find in a bulky pamphlet which
gives a report of the proceedings a
well-arranged mass Of valuable infor-
nation. In a predatory way the PAM
phlet refers to the contempt which,
during scores of years. was visited up
on the Erie-canal project. the Cana
dian ship canal. the Suez canal and
kindred undertakings. On the other
hand. the immense benefits resulting
from the building OF vast artificial
waterways In China. Egypt and India
are pointed out
Nor Is the Orient alone In evidence.
A generation ago. the city OF Glasgow
was so situated that an Erie canalboat
could not reach Il at low water. That
city courageously spent sso. 900. 900. with
the result that Glasgow is the fourth
largest shipping port in the world and
the second richest city In the British
empire. Every intelligent reader knows

Politician. He is a thoroughly soured

years old. He realizes that there is
nothing for him In public life. He
says he IL too old for the presidency;
were he twenty years younger the

is chiidless. 1t is his temperament to
chatter about those who wouldn't let
him have his own way. That appears
to be the only occupation that furnish
es him any comfort in his declining

Hamburg by government money spent
on the river Elbe. More than hundred
millions spent on the Mersey made
Liverpool a famous shipping center.
Manchester invested eighty millions for
canal to the Irish sea; Chicago is
putting forty millions into q canal
The plans providing for q deepwater
course from Duluth to the Atlantic
seaboard involve expenditures estimat-
ed at $500. 100000. All experience is In
evidence that q much larger total will
be necessary; II the proposed public
work gets into the hands Of the ,poli-
ticians. the estimates must be doubled
That means enormous appropriations.
yet II is well enough to take account Ct
the fact that the railways that are d.
rectly tributary to the trade Of the
great lakes represent an investment Of
private capital In the sum Of more
than a thousand million dollars.
The Cleveland convention viii result
in giving a new impetus to the deep
water movement. We would like TO see
the irrigation question as well present
ed as the deep-watsr question isin ths

though, and with his money" That is
drawing the line pretty fine. Mr.. Sher-
man admits that his own agent paid
railway fares for some of the southern
delegates who attended tine national
convention. He says that Green b.
Raum had charge OF southern delegates
for him. The country has had Official
experience with Raum; the ready con-
clusion will be that Sherman bought.
that his people didn't stay bought. and
that Alger outbid him. Sherman Is Pc
nurious. Alger scatters the stun with
lavish hand when he is out for any
thing. The drift of recent interviews
is to make good what General Sherman
wrote to Alger. which was In effect:

could"

who were moving spirits in the conven-
ton of 1883 have given absolute denial
to the senator's charge of a corrupt
bargain with Harrison. They assert
that the New York delegation was
never warmly disposed toward Sher-
man. But the senator persists In his
accusation
Perhaps Sherman has some reason to
feel disgruntled over the results at Chi
cago. but II he wants TO square his ac-
count with those who did not pull true,
he must quarrel with half the republi-
can politicians in the United States.
He was always weak in presidential
conventions He tried for the nomina-
ton in 1880. Starting in with 80 votes,
he ended with three-thirty-six ballots

ed in with thirty votes, never scoring
a gain. and he came out with nothing
on the fourth ballot. -Four years later,
he had 22s votes for a starter, Alger
had s4. Harrison had 80. Alger climbed

II Nav Happen.

We have not found in any American
newspaper one pleasant reference to
Ahlwardt, who came to this country
to rant against the Jews. On the con-
trary. the consensus of opinion seems
to be that on the platforms in this
country he is altogether a misfit.
Ahlwardt's crusade is offensive; be-
sides, there are millions OF people who
believe that the old worlds complicated
conditions are In the nature Of the
approaching fulfllment of prophecy.

Palestine about seven hundred years
ago. and II the signs OF the times have
real Significance. the end of Turkish
dominion IL at hand.
All good. orthodox people will reckon
that this event means the first grand
march toward the restoration of Pales-
tine TO the Jews; there are certain
that may hasten the consummation. II
is notorious that Turkey is in debt tc
the Rothschilds In the total Of many
tens OF millions of money. 1t has lont
been talked In the worlds business cir
clss that. In the way of security, tn
Rothschilds hold a blanket mortgage
on an Of Palestine-everything from
Mount Carmel to the Sahara; the val
ley OF the Jordan. the sea of Galilee
Lebanon and the Hermon hills. Naza
reth. Jericho and Bethlehem.
II the Turkish government goes Il
pieces. there will be foreclosure and
many interesting things may happen
Indeed. In view Of certain business
combinations lately made in Montana
we reckon that the day is not distant
when the newspapers in Helena will
herald the information that the city Of
Jerusalem is about to become q one

Cheap Reading for the People.

Pittsburg Post: Not many people real
ize that the United States is spending
$4,000 900 a year for the diffusion of lit
era ture. yet such Is the fact. The post
master general reports that two-thirds Of
all the weight of matter carried In the
mails consists not of letters but of sec
ond-class matter''-books, magazines and
that the transportation
of this second-class matter costs about
SIS, 500 900 more than the government gets
for 1t. AS the annual deficit in the en-
tire service is about $4,000 1t is clear that
the government is spending a good deal
of money in giving the people cheap
