sorne Mythology.

Detroit Journal: When the maiden in the old Teutonic myth saw the dragon approach, she was much terri fled. Are you going to deyour me?" she shrieked clasping her hands agon- izedly. No, Maude,' replied the dragon. sarcastically. I'm simply go- ing to take your chewing gum away from you!' Whence we see that even dragon eventually becomes tired Of being asked foolish questions.

The latest suggestion for maple sirup
without the maple comes from Vir-
sinia woman and may send wave of
CONSERVATION over the sugar camps Of
Vermont and northern New York.
Take clean corncobs," says this eco
nomical woman, "and cover with wa
ter: let them boil until all the sub
stance is boiled out, and you will have
a liquid about the color of tea; strain
this carefully through fine cloth; add
brown sugar and boil down to nice
strip. Let il stand one day, and it is
ready for use. You cannot tell this
from pure maple sirup, and it is much
cheaper

The city of Chicago is built on n sink
ing plain, according to Prof. G. X. Gill
bert, who presents the facts in the lat
est volume of the geological survey re-
ports to show that the northern and
eastern shores of all the great lakes are
rising and the southern and western
shores falling. The lake at Chicago is
rising at the rate of nine or ten inches
in century. Already that city has
elevated its site considerably, and the
prospect is that it must keep it up in
definitely, or remove its plant gradual
ly to the more central and desirable To-
cation of st. Louis, jocularly observes
the Globe-Dcmocrat of the latter city.
Keeping town permanently on jack
screws Is inconvenient and expensive.
II Chicago is looking around for new
stand it will find nothing to compare
with ST. Louis.

An odd case Of hysteria is reported
from Abilene. Kan. A lady of the town
has been entertaining her niece, Il
young woman from another town, and
ever since the arrival of the girl the
housc has been made the target of peep
ars ard burglars. II the evening before
the family had gore to bed there would
be Il crash of glass, and then the young
woman would cone flying in terror to
her aunt with the story that she had
seen the face of n man at the window
aud when he found he was observed he
broke the window and ran. After win
dows had been broken all over the
house officers were set to watch for
several nights. At last one officer,
brighter than the rest, discovered thas
all the glass broken from window fell
outward, showing that it must have
been struck from the inside. A watch
was then placed over the girl and she
was soon caught in the act of breaking
4 window, after which she ran scream
ing to her aunt with the same old story
about man. Her strange performance
is accounted for on the theory of hys-
terical condition in which she "sees
1hings" and then does things uncon-
niously,

Members of the State Law and Or
der league of Connecticut attempted
one day lately at Canaan to put some
1000 gallons of hard cider where it
would do mo more harm by smashing
the barrels containing it in front of
the town hall and letting the stuff run
away. Much of it found its way across
the square and into the basement of
Christ church, where il threatened to
ruin the carpet of the Sunday-school
room. A vestryInan stopped the smash
ing Of the barrels after wordy war
with the smashers, in which nearly the
whole town took sides.

Nothing taxable which Spain's cupid
seems to have escaped the clutches of
her representatives in Cuba. A vivid
idea Of the thoroughness of their meth
DDS in this particular is given in the
fact that n yearly tax was assessed upon
each letter on the signs used by mer-
chants and others, This impost was
farmed out to contractors, who, in col
lecting, were often arbitrary and an
noying. 1t was to remain in force till
June, 1899. and Americans who have
begun business and have hung out
signs at any time within the year are
compelled to pay full years tax.

An unexpected but frequent cause of
fire, according to Fire Marshal Seery of
New York, is due to cleaning carpets on
the floor without taking them up. Near
ly all the preparations guaranteed to
make carpets good as new without max
ing it necessary TO lift them from the
floor contain naphtha, which has in
ilammable qualities in disagreeable
degree. When used for cleaning car
pets on the floor, it soaks into the floor
boards to a greater or less extent, and
contact with an overheated steam, hot
air or hot water pipe will do the rest.
