A Chinese Legend of the Origin Of

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 1t into his pocket. 1t proved to
be n snake egg, and In time through
the heat Of his pocket 1t Matched out a
young reptile.

ried it from day to day to school with
him and fed 1t with part Of his own
lunch until it became too big to be car
ricd, when he made nest for 1t at
home.
But one day 1t suddenly grew to
enormous size, and upon the boys ar
rival home he was frightened to 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 crawled 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 az and chopped
his tail off.
with fearful scream and lash of
his bleeding tail he felled the house
and made his way to the Moo Soon San

time when he lost his tail, to come out
and make trouble for the people by ere

he does to square himself for losing bis

THE "RoUND ROBIN"
No One Knows Origin of the Strange


No One Knows Origin of the Strange
Term.
A "round robin" is one Of those
documents of which the name Is IA
miliar to most people, but which I'M
commonly few have ever seen or
signed. Every one knows that the
thing which bears so singular name
Is a communication-letter, remon-
STRANGE, warning or the hke-the Sig
natures to which are written around
the circumference Of the circle which
incloses the body of the epistle, or
radiating therefrom like the spokes OF
q wheel from hub, so that the re-
sponsibility of signing Is equally
shared. No one signatory can be &C
cused of being either the first or the
last to sign, of being the leader or the
whipper in.
The most famous example on record
probably is the remonstrance which
was sent to DR.. Johnson In connection
with his epitaph on Oliver Goldsmith.
The doctor had prepared an epitaph In
Latin, but some Of his friends, who
had also been friends Of Goldsmith,
took exception to it on two grounds,
the first being that it did not quite do
Justice to the author Of the Traveller"
as a writer, and particularly as poet,
and the second that 1t should be writ
ten in English. The party of friends
were gathered around Sir Joshua
Reynolds hOspitable II somewhat Ill
served table, and though they found
themselves in general agreement on
these two points, no one had the cour-
age to be willing to bell the cat" or,
in other words, to take the lead In
tackling the formidable Johnson on
these two rather delicate matters. lat
last" says Sir William Forbes, lit was
limited that there could be no way SO
good as that Of round robin, as the
sailors call 1t, which they make use
of when they enter conspiracy so as
not to let it be known who puts his
name first or last to the paper"
The idea was at once accepted, the
address to DR.. Johnson was prepared
and all signed 1t in the form proposed.
This very interesting paper Is still ex-
tant and is preserved among other
valuable manuscripts in the library OF
Haigh Hall, near Wigan, the seat OF
the Earl of Crawford. 1t begins. I'VE,
the circumscribcrs," and the sigma
lures, written around the circle which
incloses the address, include those OF
Gibbon, Burke. Joseph Warrior, Sheri-
dan, Sir Joshua Reynolds, George Col
man and half dozen others which are
nowadays but little known. Johnson
took the remonstrance In good part
but as to not writing the epitaph In
Latin, declared that he would never
consent to disgrace the walls of West
minister abbey with an English In
scrlption. The whole story is emf
nently characteristic both of Johnson
and his times.

Sir Henry Iryinc,s Wit.

On one occasion Sir Henry Irving's

What Ii known About Fish.

Pliny, the great naturalist, who lived
ut about the time of Christ, reckoned
the whole number of known species of
fish ut ninety-four. Linnnus, the great
Swedish investigator Of the eighteenth
century,. could classify AIS. and he Is
known to have been the greatest ich-

HERRING SALAD.

Use the ordinary smoked red herring;
warm it so that the skin may come off
easily; lift the flesh carefully off the

some freshly-boiled potatoes, a couple

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.
When the stomach is overloaded;
when food is taken into it that fails to
digest, it decays and inflames the mucous
membrane, exposing the nerves, and
causes the glands to secrete mucin, in
stead of the natural juices of digestion.
This is called Catarrh of the Stomach.

IVGTs \ Pond Pianos.
The Conservatory Expands.

The New England Conservatory of
Music is about to move into its beautiful
new buildings on the Back Bay. This
is the largest school of music in the
world, and its pre-eminence among
American institutions has been conceded
ever since it was founded in 1858 by DR..
Eben Tourjee.
Twenty years ago, when the depart
ment of pianoforte instruction was being
developed, few Ivers Il Pond pianos
were purchased. Since then, as the con-
servatory has expanded, there have
gradually been acquired 26S Ivers d
Pond pianos. With the expansion in
cidental to moving into the new build
ing, the board of directors of the con-
servatory have placed their order for 81
additional Ivers Il Pond pianos, making
a total of 299.
Higher tribute to this famous Boston
art product would be hardly possible
than 20 years continued patronage by
this most critical of musical institutions.
