From time out of memory up to with
in the last 20 or 90 years, the geogra-
pliers, the photographers and the COM
mon people alike believed in the exist
ence Of an immense whirlpool in the
ocean off the coast Of Norway.
The English of the sixteenth and sew
enteenth centuries thought it to be
subterranean abyss, penetrating the
globe in such a manner as to communi
cate with the ocean on the opposite side
Of the earth, and the ancients of most
European countries had an idea that il
was in some mysterious way connected
with the waters of the gulf of Bothnia
According to the popular accounts pub
lished and firmly believed down to the
middle Of the present century, the mael-
strom was the most startling and gigan
tic of natures curiosities. Its mighty
whirling current, it was said, was pow
erful enough to draw within its infiu-
ence whatever approached within a dis
lance of several miles of its vortex. Inn
mense trees. lumber RATS, bears, ships,
whales, etc, were drawn in as though
they were straws and ground to pieces
by the whirling. seething waters miles
beneath the surface.
What has become Of this terror Of the
ocean? We never hear it mentioned
nowadays, and the very existence of
even a rough piece of sea in the region
in which the maelstrom was formerly
located is denied by the very best au-
thorities on ocean tides, currents, etc.
Its existence was first questioned, l be-
lieve. by Bayard Taylor in letter to
the New York Tribune ON Oct. 6. 1857.
A few days before the letter was writ
ten Taylor sailed over the spot where
the whirl was generally located without
noticing anything out of the ordinary.
During the same year 1S5D W. M.
Williams, in a lecture ON Norway, de-
livered at Birmingham, England, de-
clared that no such whirlpool had ever
existed.-St. Louis Republic.

ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW.
General Harrison Advocates Town Meet
fngs Once or Twice a Year.

General Harrison Advocates Town Meet
fngs Once or Twice Year.
Ex-President Harrison, in a series OF
articles ON "This Country Of Ours in
The Ladies Home Journal. writes wig
orously of the great necessity OF the peo-
pie insisting upon the strict enforcement
of the laws. Directly upon this point he
says: "We need general assemblies of
the people in the smaller civil subdavi-
sions, to be held regularly once or twice
q year, town meetings in which two
questions only shall be considered:
First, are the public officers faithfully
and honestly transacting the public bust
nessY Second, are the laws-not this law
nor that, but all laws-enforced and
obeyed? All questions Of law reform
should be excluded. left to parties or So
cieties organized TO promote them. The
enforcement of the law, whether we OPP
posed or aided the making of it; the
strict accountability of public officers,
whether we opposed or aided their cleo
ton, should be the objects and the linn
its Of these meetings. There should be
no distinction of persons.
"Our law and order movements are
too apt to be confined to what we, not
too accurately, call influential people.
Every man and woman ought to have a
chance to choose his side, without re-
gard TO station or wealth or race or col
or. There will be none too many. In
some such movements it has seemed to
me that many have been assigned to the
wrong side who would have chosen the
right. There is danger that such may
accept the place they would not have
chosen. Can any working plan be de-
vised to maintain from day to day an
effective watchful interest among the
body of our citizens in the enforcement
of the laws, and in clean, honest adj
ministration Of public affairs-small
and great? Or are we to accept the hu-
initiating conclusion that bad things
cannot be made good, or even better,
until they come to be persistently and
utterly bad; or still worse, that when
the river of popular indignation has
cleaned the stable it is only to leave VI
without supply of water for daily sani'
tations"

The first railway ride is naturally a
somewhat exciting experience. A CORE
spondent of the Chicago Times Herald
says that he was taking trip through the
hilly part of Alabama, where the road
bed is intersected by trestles from so to
l75 feet high. and from 80 yards to half
mile in length. At small station in
the pine woods an old gentleman, carry
ing carpet bag and accompanied by
an old lady, evidently his wife, boarded
the train.
They took the first seat, the old lady
sitting next the window. 1t was appar-
ent from their expression Of curiosity
mingled with anxiety that this was their
first railway journey. The train started,
and they both looked eagerly from the
window, and as the speed increased a
look of keenest anxiety gathered on the
old lady's face. She grasped her hus-
bands arm and said in voice plainly
audible to those about her:
Joel, we be goin awful quick
know faint safe.
A few minutes later the train ran
onto one Of the long trestles. With a
little shrek of terror the old lady sprang
to her feet and seized the back of the
seat in front of her. There she stood,
trembling from head to foot. staring
from the window.
Meantime the train sped onward and
was soon once more on solid earth. The
old lady was quick to note the change.
Her features relaxed, ana she sank intC
her seat with the fervent exclamation;
THANK goodness, she's lit again -

Mr.. Pitt liked practical fun and used
to riot in it with Lady Hester, Charles
and James Stanhope and myself. Once
we were resolved TO blacken his face
with burned cork. which he most siren
uously resisted. At the beginning of the
fray servant announced that Lords
Castlereagh and Liverpool desired to see
him ON business LET them wait in the
other ROOM" was the answer, and the
great minister instantly turned to the
battle, catching up cushion and bella
boring us with it in glorious fun. We
were. however. too many and strong for
him, and after ten minutes fight got
him down and were daubing his face
when he said; ''Stop This will do
could easily beat you all. but we must
not keep those. grandees waiting any
longer
His defeat was, however, palpable,
and we were obliged to get towel and
basin Of water and wash him clean be-
fore he could receive the grandees-
Being thus put in order. the basin
was hidden, and the two lords were ush-
cred in. Then a new phase of Mr.. Pitts
manner appeared. Lord Liverpool's as
pect is we'll known-melancholy bend
ing, nervous. Lord Castlereagh was a
model of quiet grace and strength. What
was my surprise to see them both bend
ing like spaniels ON approaching the
man we had just been maltreating with
such successful insolence Of fun But
Mr.. Pitts instant change Of manner and
look entirely fixed my attention. His
tall, ungainly. bony figure seemed to
grow to the ceiling; his head was thrown
back. his eyes as if reading the heavens
