Stag and Snake.

There is no beast in the world to
which more legendary virtues are
attributed than the stag, partly
owing to the tale of st. Hubert,
partly to a supposed antipathy of
stays toward serpents, partly to a
peculiar mass of gristle in the shape
of cross which is found in the ami
mails heart. A whole book might
be written on the miraculous power
of the heart and the efficacy of diff
ferent parts of him against the trou-
bles of this evil world. Fouilloux,
in the sixteenth century, gives a
long list, and Master Robert Topsel
fills page upon page with them, but
our author in his solid English fash
ion is chary of accepting such stories.
Men say. he admits, that when a
stag is right old he beateth a SER
pent with his foot till she be wroth,
and then eateth her, and then goeth
to drink, and then runneth hither
and thither till the water and venom
be meddled together, and maketh
him cast all his evil humors that he
had in his body, and maketh his
flesh come all new; but, he adds,
with the solemnity of Herodotus
himself, thereof make l none af-
frmation." And this phrase occurs
again and again, for the Comte de,

The Present Taste For Romance.


Now and again we are startled to
find how the age relishes still an old
fashioned romance if written with o
new fashioned vigor and directness;
how quaint and simple and lovely
things, as we'll as what is altogether
modern and analytic and painful,
bring our most judicious friends
providing, purses in hand, to the
hookstalls, and for awhile we are
puzzled to see wornout styles and
past modes revived But we do not
let these things seriously disturb our
study of prevailing fashions. These
books of adventure are not at all, we
assure ourselves, in the true spirit
of the age, with it's realistic knowl-
edge of what men really do and
think and purpose, and the taste for
them must be only for the moment
or in jest. We need not let our sur
prise at occasional furries and vari-
ations in tie literary market cloud
or discredit our analysis of the real
taste of the day or suffer ourselves
to be betrayed into writing TO-
mances, however much we might
rejoice to be delivered from the
drudgery of sociological study and
made free to go afield with our i'm
aginations upon a joyous search for
hidden treasure or knightly adven-
ture. Professor Woodrow Wilson in

INTERESTING RErr
Cup and Saucer That gvere Made Far
tho Confederafc Navy.

"A Cup and Saucer That sVere Made Far
tho Confederafc Navy.
The south is full OF relics of the
| war of every sort, from cannon balls
and bullets to the Confederate scrip
which is SO piontifully distributed
over the country.
But OF all these relics there is
| probably none more interesting than
| one which q resident OF Washington
showed recently to a Star reporter.
1t was simply plain ironstone cup
and saucer of heavy, old fashioned
| pattern, and one that but for its as
sociations and the marks it bore
would excite little interest.
| IT came from a set of crookery
made for the Confederate states
navy. Old Confederate navy Off
| GERS who have seen the cup have, al
most without exception, explained
that they did not know that the Con-
federate states navy had any crock
cry especially marked for it's use.
"The fact was," said one old vet
eran, II ate off of n tin plate and
drank my coffee, when we had it,
from a tin cup. never had any
crockery nor saw anybody else with
any during my service.
This cup and saucer wero intended
for Confederate privateer that was
h,1;1+ o,,5 H++oJ o,,+ -, 4I,o 1oa4 -
of the war. Tho crew was recruited
and the officers were sent from the
south to England and took active
part in the work of fitting out the
vessel.
The officer who had charge sent
this cup and saucer to his brother,
who had been on the Alabama, and
who was, during tho last year of the
war, engaged in blockade running
between New York and various
southern ports.
The cup is about inches in diam
eter and 3 inches deep, with strong
handle. 1t is almost large enough
to be used as a bowl and holds pref
ty we'll toward pint The bottom
is broad, evidently with a view to
prevent its tipping over at sea.
On the front of the cup when it is
held in the right hand is coat of
arms, or, rather, design emblomat-
ical of the arm of the service in
which it was to be used.
In the center of this design are an
anchor and rope, and behind, these
two crossed cannons. Around this
! central design is a circle of rope and
outside of this q wreath of boppies
and fsrgetmenots.
Underneath the anchor arc the
( initials &C. S. N" and below this
runs the motto, aldo tot ct D:eu
t'aidera"-"God helps him who
helps himself.
Around the lip of the cup runs a
wide band of maroon. at the bot
tom a slender thread of the same
J color surrounds the cup.
The saucer, of the same heavy,
strong ware, is inches in dame
ter and is decorated by similar bands
of maroon. In the center is the
same crest or design which is upon
the face of the cup.
Altogether it is q most rare and
interesting relic of the war. Prob
ably no ship in the Confederate navy
except the privatoer, which never
went into commission, was provided
with its own special crockery.-

How the Feline Is Looked Upon by tho

This is an old subject which is
liked by girls. but not by boys.
The proper name for cats is, be-
llove, felines. I don't know what
they call them felines for, but they
do just the same.
You can find cats all over the
world with the exception of our
back yard.
Some cats live on milk, fish, meat,
! mice and that kind of stuff, but all
cats that I've ever seen seem to live
on the back fences.
have heard Of cats of nine tails
and cats Of nine lives, but We never
met any of 'em. All the cats that I
ever had anything to do with had
only one tail and one life, and a
mighty short life at that.
Writing about cats puts me in
mind of a maiden aunt OF mine who
is so old that she remembers when
Washington crossed the Delaware.
Whenever l visit her, she is awful
nice to me at fEst, but all of a sud-
den, when I least expect it, she
jumps on me with both feet and
jaws me until she has to acknowl-
edge that it tires her to be jawing at
me all the time, and l say, "Me,
too, to hear her jaw me- Then she
gets madden still and generally sends
me home a-kiting.
They say it's good luck to have a
cat follow you. Isuppose they mean
it's good luck for the cat, for SO
times out of 100 when cat follows
you you remember about it's being
lucky to have cat follow you and
you pick the cat up when no one is
looking, take it to your house and
give it good home.

never had any luck afterward.
Neither did the cat. He went where

don't believe in sicking dogs on

best way to do is to hit the cat with
a club. Cats like to yell all night.
To see your little cat in the house
before the fire and to hear him yell

find anybody that can make you be-

WAS ADAMS A SUICIDE?

Medical Examiner White Does Not
 Think the Evidence Justifies Such
 Verdict.
 Ephriam Adams, who was formerly employed as chef in Tuohys restaurant on Orange street was found dead in his room yesterday morning about Il o'clock. The dead man was discovered by Thomas Burke an associate, who went to Adams room at IS Congress avenue to call upon him. Burke and Adams were together on Thursday eve ming and visited several saloons. They parted at the Adams residence about | Il o'clock.
 | Adams, it is said, asked to be called at o'clock yesterday morning, but neither Mr nor Mrs. Miller, with whom he roomed, thought it necessary to do so, as Adams, was not working. When Burke called at Mrs Miller's yesterday morning she said that she had not heard Adams stirring. She told Burke 1 to go to his friends room and to call | him. When Burke opened the door he saw Adams dead body lying on the bed. The police were notified and no- tce was sent to the medical examiner who made an investigation.
 Adams was lying in natural posi- tion on his right side with his hands clasped about his head. His position did not indicate that his life had gone out with struggle. There were two glasses on the table beside the dead mans bed; one of these a common tumbler and the other a bar glass. In the latter there were the remains of some drug which perhaps had ended Adams life. Several powders contain i ing ten grains each of sulphonal were also found on the table.
 This drug is used to allay pain and also to give steadiness to the nerves of men who have been dissipating. The medical examiner said last evening that he had found no evidence of suicide and it was not improbable that Adams had taken the drug for the purpose of stead ying his nerves.
 | Any one of the powders contained enough of the drug to cause death to a man who was affected with asthma, which Adams was said to have. Dr. White gave a certificate in accordance with the circumstances surrounding the case.
 The body will be taken charge of by Adams friends in Boston.
 Adams was stout rather good look ing man, about thirtyf five years old, and for two years past was employed as chef in Tuohys restaurant on Orange street. His wife, who lives with her children by a former huS- band, at 91 Lyon street has been sep arated from him for some months, and about two weeks ago applied for an absolute divorce on grounds of infideli- ty. Since the appearance of the applt- cation in the papers, Adams has been Respondent On Saturday he left his room at 31 George street, which he shared with his friend, Thomas Burke, and engaged little, bare, low-ceilinged room on the top floor of the wooden building at IS Congress avenue, oc- cupied by John Miller.
