WHO CINDERELLA REALLY WAS.

Her Story Is Very Ancient and Appears
In Sacred Hindoo Books.
The story Of Cinderella is substantial
~ the same as that told of Rhodopis
and Psammitichus by Elan, who lived
in Rome in the third century Of the
Christian era. The story, as told by
Elian, is that while Rhodopis was bath
ing, an eagle carried away one Of her
sandals and dropped it near the feet Of
Psamlnitichus, king Of Egypt, who, like
Cinderella's prince, was struck by it's
diminutive size, caused the maiden to
be sought for, and married her when
found. Make the sandal a glass slipper
and add the ug " sisters for the sake Of
contrast, and the stories are much the
same. The glass slipper, by the way, is
an acknowledged fiction, being in real
ity mistranslation of "pantoule ell
vair' Ga fur slipper), and not zen
verre. -
This, at all events, is what is claimed
by Perrault III his "Contes de Fees. -
Both these stories have doubtless COM
mon origin, but it is necessary to go
further back III the history Of the litera-
ture to find ito people who lived in
a period compared with which that of
even Elan is quite modern. It is in the
Vedas, the four sacred books of the Hin
docs, that the origin is to be found.
After what has already been said, it
will not be surprising to learn that Gin
derella is a dawn maiden, her sisters
being the powers of darkness, who
compel her to wait upon them, keeping
her hidden from sight. The dawn maid
Ell breaks from her bonds, and capti-
Yates the sun, remaining with him for
time. But she cannot linger with him
IN the heavens; she can remain only
until a certain hour. Once she fingers
200 long, and, hurrying back, leaves Oh
the path she has taken token Of her
visit in the form Of a feecy cloud,
which had borne her aloft when she left
the regions Of darkness. The sun, deter
mined to find her, sends out his ennis.

find her until she appears before him as
the evening twilight. IL the Vedas the

Early Candlelight State Dinners,

1t appears that in olden times the
president used to- give his dinner par.
ties at o'clock in the afternoon. The
grandfather Of Representative Acheson
Of Pennsylvania once dined with George
Washington, and his family have pre-
served the invitation. It is written in q
business hand on a fourth page Of a
sheet of ordinary note paper, with the
lines running lengthwise across the
sheet, and reads as follows:
Mr.. Acheson is requested to dine with the
president on Thursday, the 23d inst, at 4
o'clock precisely. -~ z,- -.

One is so much pulled and pushed at

is felt. There is no sign Of soreness Of
joint or muscle until after one has

SHOOTING STARS.



How These Odd and Erratic Baby P1a.sts
Blass and Daxl1en.
The shooting star is an oddity of the
very oldest kind. It is a world of itself
"a miniature planet probably not
larger than the papier mache globe on
your study table or the rubber ball
with which the schoolboys play three.
conered cat. : but it is world just the
same. These baby planets are not al
ways round, as planets are generally
supposed to be, but are known to be in
all sorts Of queer shapes. Some are:
square, others octagonal; some irregu-
lar and many cornered, while one is oc-
casionally met with which is smooth
as brick or cement paving stone.
Probably you have never heard Of a
man Cor woman either, for that matter)
meeting with a shooting star in any
Of his wanderings. Let us see how such
thing might lie possible.
The shooting star is originally min
iature world, revolving around the sun
with as much regularity as the earth,
Jupiter, Venus or Mars. It keeps up
this unerring flight thousands or even
millions Of years. Finally it reaches the
limit of it's existence. Suddenly and
perhaps without any visible cause it
shoots off at a tangent. It is now
"shooting STAR Formerly it was a
world, but even now it is not bright as
other stars are. Let US see what will
cause it to "fame up like gigantic
torch in the heavens. This particular
body that we are talking about shot off
from it's orbit in the direction of our
earth. It's speed is not less than 20
miles second, probably five times that.
In the great outer sea Of space it en-
counters no resistance to it's headlong
fight But wait. It is nearing the en-
velOpe of atmosphere which surrounds
our g lobe. What will be the result when
it comes in contact with "the air we
breathe?'' The first stratum it strikes
is SO attenuated that it's resistance is
very slight. Yet the friction is great
enough to instantly raise the tempera~
ture Of the falling world. Within the
hundredth part Of a second the dense
stratum Of atmosphere has been encoun-
tered. The flight of the little world is
now perceptibly checked, the result be-
ing sudden firing Of the mineral mat
ters in the stone. There is an instanta-
neous burst Of light, and then we see
the doomed representative Of the minia-
ture planets in all it's meteoric splendor
Possibly the streak of fire it leaves
athwart the heavens will not appear to
be more than a few hundred feet long.
Certainly it will be thin and short if
the little world was not larger than
football-because it will be almost in
stantly consumed as soon as it strikes
the denser portions Of the atmosphere.
On the other hand, if this world which
has SO suddenly come to an end was as
large as good sized barn when it start
ed, fragments Of it weighing from 10 to
1000 pounds may reach the earth. It
is from these fragments that we learn
the shape and composition Of the aerial
phenomenon referred to r. "shootIng
stars. st. Louis Republic.

Liked Lawyers,

It is recorded of Andrew Johnson
that when, senator or president, he was
invited to a dinner party, he was accus-
toned to ask if any lawyer was to be
among the guests. For, said he, law
yers always lubricate things. He took a
greater fancy to William M. Evarts, his
attorney general, because of his post
prandial fame than because Of his emf
nent legal attachments. - Green Bag.

THE OLD WAY
OF Treating Dyspeps,s ana !adigestion By
Dieting . BafbArous and Useipss One.

OF Treating DysPeps,s snd !adieestion by
Dieting Bafbarous and Useiesa One.
We say the old way, but really it
is q very common one at present
time and many dyspeptics and ply
sicians as well consider the first step
to take in attempting to cure indi-
gestion is to diet, either by selecting
certain foods and rejecting others or
to greatly diminish the quantity
usually taken; in other words the
starvation plan is BY many supposed
to be the frst'essentisl.
The almost certain failure of the
starvation cure for dyspepsia has
been proved time and again, but still
the moment dyspepsia makes its ap-
pearance q course of dieting is st
once advised.
All this is radically wrong. II is
foolish and unscientific to recon-
mend dieting or starvation to "a man
suffering from dyspepsia, because
indigestion itself starves every oryan
aud every nerve and every fibre in
the BODY.
VIVA, the dyspeptic wants is abur-
dant nutrition, which means plenty
OF good, wholesome, well cooked foe d
and something TO assist the weak
stomach to digest il. This is ex-
sctly the purpose for which Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets at. adapted and
this is the method By which thew
cure the worst cases Of dyspepsia; in
other words the patient eats plenty
OF wholesome food and S:uar,'s Dys-
pepsia Tablets digest, it for him. In
this way the system i. nourished
and the overworked stomach
rested, because the tablets will d.
gest the food whether the stomach
works or not. One of these tablets
will digest 5000 grains of meat OF
