COG AND MAGOG.
Various Traditions Relating to These Two
Famous Giants.


Famous Giants.
Who were Cog and Magog? English
tradition says that they were the last of
o race of giants who infested England
until they were destroyed by some of
the Trojans who went to the British
isles after the destruction Of Troy. Cog
and Magog, it is said, were taken cap
tive to London, where they were chained
at the door Of the palace Of the king.
When they died, wooden images of the
two giants were put in their places. In
the course of time great fire destroyed
these, but now, if you go to London,
you will see in the great hall Of one Of
the famous buildings--the GuiIdhall-
two immense wooden efllgies of men,
called Cog and Magog.
But there are other traditions of the
two giants. One is to the effect that
when Alexander the Great over1an ASIA
he chased into the mountains of the
north an impure, wicked and man eat
ing people who We're 22 nations i'm num-
ber, and who were shut up with ram.
part in which were gates of brass. One
of these nations was Goth and another
Magoth, from which wo readily get the
names of the mythical giants. 1t is sup
posed, however, that the Turks were
meant by Cog and the Mongols were
the children Of Magog. We shall find
mention made of Cog and Magog dn
many books, including the Bible. but
there is the great wall and the ram
part Of Cog and Magog, whatever may
have been the fact that gave the names
of the two giants to that portion of the
structure. Noah Brooks in st. Nirho.

charming. If diamonds extinguish the

influence of Perfumes on Character.
From It'd Bits.
Essence of peppermint. according to a
French writer on perfumery. Is the specific
for the development Of the mercantile in
stinct. Business men. therefore, will do
well to see that their handkerchfefs are
properly saturated with 1t during business
hours.
Essence Of magnolia moves him who
shifts it to warlike passions. Caution in
its use Is. therefore. to be recommended.
The scent of the violet, we are not sur
prised to learn, produces spirit of placid
devotion. The lily. however. makes for the
obstinacy of the most obstinate of Orlean-
lists. We are grieved to hear 1t.
Extract Of cloves transforms the milk of
honest thought into the rankest poison.
How true! Did not Boulangism adopt the
red carnation as its symbol?
Essence of bergamot changes the frivo-
lous spirit into the profound and meditatiye
thinker, while vervain has the merit of in
stilling artistic Ideas. But the king among
perfumes Is without doubt ambergris. Re-
fore afnbergris we must all bow down, for
1t Is the divine essence on which alone
genius may be nurtured. The one thing we
should like to know is the particular dose
OF ambergris that gave birth to this most
ingenious system.

BUTTERFLIES AS ORNAMENTS.
