THE TYPHOON.
A Chinese Legend of the Origin of
This Fierce storm.

This very odd bit is by Chinaman:
"a little schoolboy while on his way
to school one day picked up what
seemed to him small white pebble.
He put II into his pocket II proved TO
be a snake egg, and in time through
the heat OF his pocket II hatched out a
young reptile.
"The boy fell In love with II and car
ried IL from day to day TO school with
him and fed II with part of his own
lunch until t became too big TO be car
ried. when he made a nest for II at
home.
"But one day II suddenly grew TO
enormous size, and upon the boys ar
rival home he was frightened 10 death.
"When the monster saw what he had
done he was sorely afflicted and re-
fused to be fed. but Immediately put on
mourning by turning his color from
brown to pure black. He crawlcd be-
side the grave OF his departed friend
and lay there for seven days and
nights.
AT the completion of the seventh
night he came back TO his late home,
but the boys old mother was so en-
ragged at him for killing her only son
that she picked up an AK and chopped
his tail of
with n fearful scream and a lash of
his bleeding tail he felled the house
and made his way TO the Moo Soon San
mountains, where he never shows him
self but once year, just about the
time when he lost his tail, to come out
and make trouble for the people by Gre
atlng storms called the typhoon. This
he does TO square himself for losing his
valuable tail"

The modern interest in ie1ce
through observation" has become
more or less of mania. Even the chill
dren are bitten by IT. The Little Chron-
icle says that George, aged five, takes
a great interest in physiology and anat-
omy.
One day some members Of the family
had been studying a dissected porcu-
pine and making drawings of the
bones.
Not long after his sisters took an old
lounge apart, and George watched
them. Presently he came running to
another member of the family, his eyes
on fire, his cheeks flushed and his
locks flying behind him.
"Comel Conner he cried "If you
want TO study physerology now's your
chance. The girls have got the lounge
all to pieces"

instructed to request said board to
meet at their earliest convenience.

Accidents.

Joseph Leary, while tying n horse
in front of Canes store where he is
employed. had one of the fingers ON
his ri Iht hand badly torn, one day last
week. Joe was making the knot when
the horse suddenly backed, and before
he could extricate his hand the dam
age was done.
A couple of women and child in n
carriage were coming ont Coryell
street on Friday last, when Abbott s
"auto' suddenly swung the corner
from Union street Both women,
thinking the horse unable to stand the
monster, leaped from the carriage
to the street One of them made a
safe journey, but the other fell beneath
the wheels, and was run over, but for
tunately received no injuries beyond n
shaking up. The child, unconscious of
the exciting events that we're taking
place, remained in the carriage, the
horse in the meanwhile having been
stopped by bystander, did not
pay any attention to the ''auto" what
ever. The strange part of the episode
was that one of the women IN her ex-
element forgot the child, as did her
companion, but had seized pan Of
eggs, and when she fell managed to
keep the eggs from breaking.
