During my twelve years as trained

There was a time when people didn't

Although the east is the birthplace of as
tronomy the modern. oriental is perhaps
more behind hand than any other people in
his knowledge of the science of the stars.
A fair idea of his astronomical notions may
be formed by the following incident:
On Wednesday night comet was seen
in Pera, and there was much uneasy specu-
lation about the possibility Of Its coming
into collision with the earth and crushing
the terrestrial globe. The comet was some
what erratic in It's movements, and al
though at times it stood still for several
minutes it moved about irregularly north
or south, east or west, with extraordinary
agility. The only fixed point was the ex-
tremity of the tail, but that was-not visible
from all parts of Pera.
The unexpected stellar visitor, whose ar
rival astronomers so ANONYMOUSLY failed to
predict. was no other than the electric
searchlight from the Russian dispatch boat,
which had turned on its projectors in honor
Of the czar's nameday and directed them to

LEGEND OF ARCTIC NIGHTS.
How the Greenlanders Account for
Their Long Season of Darkness.


Their Long Season of Darkness.
From the Chicago Chronicle.
A member of one of the former Peary ex-
petitions to Greenland tells of curious
tradition of the Eskimos to account for the
long arctic night and its intense cold.
There was a time they say, long gen.
regions Of the north and when the strands
along the sea were forever hidden with
nantes of living green.
Hence it was that peace and plenty fell
to the lot of this people and sorrow was
unknown among them. But one day a
strange thing came to pass. AS the people
were resting and feasting among the trees
as was their custom throughout their wake
full hours, q beautiful canoe, as white as
ivory, was seen drifting silently toward the
shore from the direction Of the castle where
dwelt the spirit of the winds.
Now, when the ivory white canoe had
floated quite up to the shore, a great awe
fell upon the people, for there, fast asleep
among the folds of an ermine robe, lay a
beautiful maiden, whose skin was as fair as
the snow flower and whose hair was like
mantle of sunshine. But when the chief
had borne the maiden to the shore and
questioned her whence she came he was
him:
~ am DELTA, the daughter of the spirit
of the Winds and 1 have drifted here from
yonder snoW-white castle in the north. But
1 will return there no more. Henceforth
my home shall be with you and your peo-
ple.'
'And Immediately the spirit Of the winds
arose In the north and in a terrible voice
commanded. that his daughter be restored
to him Immediately. But when the people
OF the tribe sought out their chief and
counseled him to give the princess into her
fathers hands the youth stood mute before
them. Then. in obedience to gesture, they
entered his ruined house, and there on a
couch lay the beautiful princess, with her
white hands-whiter now than the snow
fowers-folded silently over her breast.
when the spirit of the winds looked
forth and beheld the princess cold in death
on the desolate strand his anger was yet
more terrible against the :kneeling multi
tude and he commanded darkness to come
down upon them. And the ice and the
cold and the darkness continued for the
space Of many days before the offended
spirit would relent and suffer the sunshine
to return for a brief season."

Lucretfa Nett Removed Temptation.
From the Philadelphia Record.

An elderly woman who for years has
lived out on the Old York road, tells a
characteristic anecdote Of the late Lucre-
tia Mott. who was formerly neighbor, and
whom she knew very well. 'Lucretia had
a fine apple orchard" she said. "Her ap-
Piles were the best grown anywhere
around. The orchard was separated from
the road by a stone wall. and people in
passing would often climb over the wall
and take some of the fruit. This was
source of great distress to Lucretia, who
was one of the best women that ever lived
That she should place temptation in the
way Of others troubled her greatly. Finally
she decided upon a plan to ease her con-
science. At intervals along the top of the
wall she had baskets placed. filed with
choice apples. On each basket was sign
which read: Thou shalt not STEAL Then,
underneath, was another sign reading:
Help myself" This was characteristic Of
the old abolitionsst."

not the least objection to their beiong-

about here, owing to the old name.
They are closed by the strike.
Our company have always got along
without any trouble. Any questions
arising we have always been able to
adjust with perfect good feeling be-

When asked for permission to see the
men. he said Certainly. Go in and

Finding the members OF the mill
committee at work at the rolls, one OF
them was asked If there would be

There is certainly no lack OF har-
mony between management and men
at the La Belle iron mill.
