skeleton In the Closet.

The original of the singular saying,
"a skeleton in the closet" which is
found in almost every language in Eu-
rope, is found in one of those curious
collections of stories which the monks
Of the middle ages were fond of max
ing both for their own amusement and
for the instruction of youth. In one Of
these collections, compiled by an un-
known hand about the middle Of the
tenth century. there is story Of a
wealthy lady who, having a secret
grief. conided it to friend who was
apparently perfectly happy woman.
She was the wife of a nobleman who
lived in his castle in the south Of
France. She and her husband were
outwardly on the most loving terms.
Not a care cloud seemed to cast q
shadow on her path.
After hearing the story Of her af1ict-
ed friend the noble lady took her by
the hand and led her to secret cham
Der adjoining her bedroom. there open
ed the door Of closet and exposed a
skeleton. Know, my FRIEND" she
said. "no one is happy. Every day
am forced by my husband to kiss this
grinning death head, which is that of q
| gentleman who was my husbands ri
val and whom l would have married
had not my parents willed otherwise"

Mulctlng Wagner.

Wagner when a young man wrote q
sonata which had fair success, but in
after life he made every effort to sup
press it. Going to the publisher, he
said, Have you any copies Of that mis-
cradle thing still unsold?" YES" was
the reply; 81 have quite a number Of
them in stock" "Send them to me at
once, with BILL" sail the composer.
A thousand copies were soon after
ward delivered at his door. The bill
was big one. but it was paid. some
what grudgingly, and Wagner thought
he had done with the thing. What
was his surprise, then. at receiving two
or three months later on another con-
signment, this time Of 500 copies.
II thought you had only thousand
of these things" he protested. THAT
was all had in stock" explained the
dealer, ''but these have been returned
by my ager rs, to whom wrote that
you wished to have the sonata sup
pressed" Wagner WINGED. but there
was nothing for 1t but to pay the bill.
And thereafter whenever business was
dull with this crafty publisher few
hundred copies of the sonata would be
struck off on shopworn paper and de-
livered at the composers door. with a
memorandum to the effect that they
had just come back from remote places
where they had been sent for sale.

Unclaimed Moneys.

Nearly every bank of old establish
ment has on deposit sums Of unclaimed
money. The aggregate of all these
sums If 1t could be told. would aston
ish the world. These moneys in the
Bank Of England are estimated vari
ously, some placing the aggregate
amount at less than 100000 and some
at many times that sum. In the Bank
Of England. as in all banks In this
country and in England, the total
amount is made up Of small sums. Ac-
cording to law. the Bank of England
should give public access to the list Of
such lost moneys. whereas it never does
anything Of the sort. When challenged,
1t invites legal action, but no one cares
for legal contest, with, the Bank Of
England. SO the question never is faced.
How do these unclaimed moneys ac-
cumulate? Largely through the omis-
sion of stockholders to claim dividends
and through the fact that many people
die without leaving behind them a
strict account Of their investments.

''There used to be in city in which
1 lived" said Cleveland man. "a GER
tain bishop who. while possessed Of the
highest principles and whose aims and
ambitions in life were of the highest
character, at the same time united with
these penuriousness in money mat
tiers that caused innumerable stories
illustrative of this failing to be tackled
upon him. One of these related to q
certain church conference which the
bishop and other dignitaries of the
church at one time attended.
"At one of the meetings the bishop
in endeavorng to open letter neatly
with his penknife was so unfortunate
as to allow the latter to slip and to
cut a finger severely. The injured
member bled profusely, and hasty
search for court plaster ensued. There
being none Forthcoming, a clergyman
standing by fished out his cardcase
and. extracting from it cent stamp,
the smallest priced stamp he had. Of
fered it to the bishop to use as sub
stitute for the much needed court plas-
/ ter.
"The bishop accepted it gratefully
and in his turn took out his own card
case. In 1t he placed the 5 cent STAMP
and then, producing cent specimen
of his own, he pasted it over the still
bleeding wound."-New York Tribune

superstitioue Great Men.

Superstition has not only prevented
mankind from attaining superior en-
inence of happiness, but what is more
deplorable. it has added in a great de-
gree to an already extensive catalogue
of earthly miseries 1t is not by the
ignorant alone that superstitious be-
liefs are entertained but by many emf
nent men of the past and present. DR..
Samuel johnson was a firm believer in
ghosts and second sight. Josephus, the
great Jewish historian. relates that he
saw the extraordinary sight of an evil
spirit being induced to leave the body
of an afflicted mortal upon the applica-
ton of Solomon's seal to the patients
nostril. James vi, who was noted for
his intellectual attachments and theo-
logical learning, was firm believer in
witchcraft. So deep hold did this
absurd notion have on him that he pub
lished work upholding this doctrine
and actually punished all who opposed
the belief.-Exchange

A Cheese Roast.

Those who insist upon eating cheese
should take the precaution to cook it
thoroughly before eating. 1t is for this
reason that some people who are I'M
able to eat raw cheese find themselves
able to eat toasted cheese without diff
ficulty. Toastlng the cheese does not.
however. Increase its digestibility, but
rather the reverse. Its beneficial effect,
II any, is from the destruction Of the
virulent microbes which are present
and which are capable Of giving rise
to symptoms even more distressing
than those of ordinary indigestion. The
best method Of dealing with cheese is
to give it to the pigs, as it is nothing
more or less than decayed milk. At only
for a scavenger diet. = Sanitary and

Contest. of Eggs

From the remotest ages the egg has
been looked upon as the symbol of ere
alton, or new birth. According to the
Persians, the world was Matched from
an egg at that season Of the year which
corresponds to the vernal equinox.
Hence the Parsees still exchange gifts
of colored eggs at the new year festi-
val, which they celebrate at this date.
Among the Jews the egg entered into
all the mysterious ceremonies called
apocalyptic. and occupied prominent
position on the household table during
the paschal season. Christianity in
vested the paschal egg with new sig
nificance-namely that of the resur-
rection of Christ, and 1t was colored
red in allusion to his blood shed for
sinners on the cross.
| A curious custom in MEDIEVAL church
es, for priests and choristers to join in
game of ball at Eastertide, took its
rise from the Easter egg, which was
| thrown from one to the other of the
choristers in the nave Of the church
while an anthem was being sung. AS
| a missed egg meant smashed egg, the
more durable handball was substituted.
But the smashing of eggs continued
as form of outdoor sport Survivals
are to be found among all Teutonic
and Anglo-Saxon people. A popular
game in England and Germany con-
sists in hitting one egg against anoth-
err, the egg that survives uncracked
winning for its owner the weaker an
tagonist, until an entire basket Of eggs
may have changed ownership. Anoth-
er game is to trundle eggs down hill
or slope, those which reach the bottom
uncracked being similarly victorious
over the others.

The Fata Morgana.

The fata morgana is singular aerial
phenomenon akin to the mirage. 1t Is
seen in many parts Of the world, but
most frequently and in greatest per-
lection at the strait of Messina, be-
tween Sicily and Italy. So many con-
ditions must coincide, however, that
even there it is Of comparatively rare
occurrence. To allow of it's production
the sun must be at an angle Of 45 de-
grees with the water, both sky and sea
must be calm, and the tidal current suf-
fciently strong to cause the water in
the center to rise higher than on the
edges of the strait When these condi-
tions are fully met, the observer on the
heights Of Calabria. looking toward
Messina, will! behold series of rapidly
changing pictures, sometimes of most
exquisite beauty.
Castles, colonnades, SUGGESTIONS Of
beautiful arches, palaces, cities, with
houses and streets and church domes.
mountains, forests, grottoes, will ap-
pear and vanish, to be succeeded per-
haps by fleets Of ships, sometimes
placidly sailing over the deep, some
times inverted, while halo like a
rainbow surrounds every image. 1t is
supposed that the images are due to
the irregular retroactive powers of the
different layers of air above the sea,
which magnify, repeat and distort the
objects on the Sicilian shore beyond,
but to the Italians these singular ap-
pearances are the castles Of the Prin-
cess Morgana, and the view Of them is
supposed to bring good fortune to the
beholder.

The c.nthes Moth.

We may marvel at grubs growing fat
and succulent upon such unpromising
fare as old timber affords, but that
achievement is improved upon by the
insects that prefer to draw their en-
tire nutrition from wooden fabrics, fur,
horsehair, feathers, tanned leather and
the like and apparently without ever
desire to "wet their whistles by any
thing of juicy nature. Any small,
silvery winged moth that is seen fit
ting about the house is regarded as a
'sclothes moth,' but every one killed is
not an enemy, for there are a number
Of moths Of similar size and appearance
that come from outdoors and have been
occupied as grubs in destroying green
leaves. 1t is common error to sup
pose that it is the clothes moth that
does the mischief, though by Destroy
ing the moth we prevent the laying of
innumerable eggs from which come the
consuming larvae, whose cutting jaws
would be actively and necessarily en-
ployed in mutilating choice fabrics and
valuable furs. These caterpillars are
rarely seen by the housewife because
their first care on leaving the egg is to
disguise or hide themselves.
The clothes moth proper has yellow
ish gray wings. with three or four in
definite brownish spots upon them, and
in consequence of its marked prefer
ence for furs it is known to science as
Tinea pellionella.-Goo Words.
