An Old Recipe.

Here is a recipe for the bite of mad
dog taken from the Universal Maga
zine of Knowledge" published by John
Hinton at the Kings Arms in Newgate
street, London. May, 1888: Take the
youngest shoots of the elder tree, peel
off the outside rind, then. scraping off
the green rind, take two handfuls OF
it, which simmer a quarter of an hour
in five pints of ale. Strain it off and
when cold put it in bottles. Take
half a pint, make warm the first thing
in the morning and the last at night
and be sure to keep yourself warm;
also battle the part affected with some
of the liquor warmed, the dose to be
repeated the next new OF full moon
after the first. 1t is good for cattle as

Some of the Oldest needlework extant
was found in Egyptian and Egypto-
Roman tombs-a ROUGH sort of fiaXen
cloth, like the bath toweling of our
own day. 1t has loops of wool worked
with some kind of needle, raised on
one side of the stuff only, and Il kind
of tapestry partly woven and partly
outlined in needlework. The mummies
which an Unsuitable modern curiosity
has disturbed are wrapped in linen, as
less liable than woolen cloth to the
ravages of moth, and the art of weay-
ing the flax that grew so plentifully on
the banks of the Nile was probably
learned by the Israelites during their
sojourn in Egypt.
Ezekiel speaks of fine linen with
broidered work from Egypt" Linen
seems the natural ground and founda-
ton of all embroidery. 1t often lasts
longer than the work itself, can be
cleaned and will not fray or wear out,

Eskimo Mythology.

Among the Eskimos the sun is a
maiden. and the moon is her brother
who is overcome by a wicked passion
for her Once as this girl was at a
dancing party in friends hut some
one came up and took hold of her by
the shoulders and shook her, which is,
according to the legend. the Eskimo
manner of declaring ones love- She
could not tell who it was in the dark,
and so she slipped her hand in some
SCOT and smeared one of his cheeks
with it. When light was struck in
the hut, she saw to her dismay that it
was her brother, and without waiting
to learn any more she took to her
heels He started in hot pursuit. And
SO they ran until they got to the end of
the world, the jumping or place, when
they both jumped into the sky There
the moon still chases his sister, the
sun, and every now and then he turns
his sooty cheek to the earth, when he
becomes so dark that you cannot see
him.

so good, but still very productive, sells

As in the days of yore,
For way down south in Dixie land,
The boys a doing stunts,
Again connecting with the ball
For liners, flies and bunts
OF course the games now being played
Are not the real thing.
Because the heroes widely famed
Are merely practicing.
They're getting muscles into trim
So they can freely play
And training eyes so they can swat
The balls that come their way.
But just the same the practice score
With eagerness we sean
To get line on playing skill
And work OF every man.
We note with joy the wondrous catch,
Swift covering of ground,
And chuckle when one hits SO hard
He goes the whole way round
We look along the lines to see
The record each has made
And note the letters which explain
Position each has played.
We analyze the pitchers work
And that of catchers, too
Concluding we have got team
That certainly will do.
'Tis thus anticipation whets
Desire for real games,
The time when rival teams will meet
And strive to clinch their claims
But as we cannot speed that time.
With patienc we must pore
Through stories of the stunts down south
And scan the practice score.

Our proverb, Devil catch the hind
shadow legends. According to the ia
BILE, the devil had a regular school at
Toledo, Spain Commencement was
inaugurated by the graduating class
running through a long subterranean
hall. The devil hid at a place known
only to himself, and if he caught the
hindmost' he ever after claimed him or
her as his special property. Sometimes
he only caught the shadow, and the
persons thus deprived of their second
astrologers and magicians.
Nearly all East Indian tribes as well
as the Malayans and several African
sects believe that if man walks
along the south bank of a river casting
his shadow across the water a croco-
dile will seize it and thus draw the
owner to certain death.
Several writer's, Fiske among the
rest, say that the Zulus have supersti-
ton similar to that of the old Baby
lonians-viz, that a dead body has no
shadow The Modocs and the Kla-
maths of Oregon formerly refused to
have their pictures taken for fear that
the process would take away their
shadows. In the Aryan folk tale the
s'witchdalo," or 'infernal Sabbath, :"
was celebrated only by witches shad-
