THE WIND IN FOLKLORE,
Night Sounds and Their Meaning
Extraordinary Beliefs.

Listeners in lonely places sometimes
hear strange voices in the air. which
they do not explain by normal causes,
and for which they seek to account SUI
pernaturally. 1t Is surprising how
large part of mythology, folklore, and
popular superstition has thus taken it's
origin. Sometimes the sounds are SIM
ply isolated cries of weird shrillness
and the fancy imagines the souls of the
dead passing on the wind; Celtic poe
try is full of such references. At 9TH
err times the cries are thicker and Wild
er. sounds as of shouting, yelping, and
barking, with the rushing of horses;
the listener has imagined a phantom
chase or the passing of the devils
bounds. There have been times when
the sound has been as of phantom
armies meeting in clash of battle. and
&. the phenomenon has been taken as por-
tentous of coming wars. Teutonic my
thology has it's demon huntsman rae

German legend tells us of the Pied
Piper of Hamelin; it also tells of the
Erlking, whose voice draws the spirit
of the child even from his fathers
arms.
Most often it is the wind that gives
birth to these strange voices; In
wooded country, or blowing over lonely
moorlands, the wind can simulate al
most any sound imaginable. Some
times 1t Is the cry of birds: in some
lands 1t is the cry of prowling beasts.
1t takes little imagination to convert
the sound into human or superhuman
cries. But sounds are sometimes heard
when winds are sleeping, and when it
seems that no birds or beasts are
abroad. Persons of romantic fancy do
not always wish to account for these
sounds naturally: they do not wish ev-
erything in nature to be as demon
strable as "a problem of geometry. In

A FOOTBALL KNOCKOUT,
Former Yale Player Tells His Expert
ence-Just a Little Dizziness.

Recent statistics gathered and pub

portion of those who play football are

sun. The game is essentially a hard
ana vigorous one and looks more so to
the Spectators. but there is little doubt

Tor just a moment was a bit groggy.
But 1t was only momentary. The
principal sensation was one of dizzi-
ness, but that did not last long. The
dizziness was not bit worse than that
which a man often gets from smoking
cigarettes, and perhaps you know
what that is. l said that was the chief
sensation, but the fact is, the feeling
which possessed me more than any
other was soreness at being taken out
of the game. I was anxious to go on
and stay the game out so that there
wouldn't be single change in our
team, and in a short time was perfectly
able to go ahead and do as well as
ever.
The main reason, 1 guess. why l
was taken out, was not because 1
couldn't have gone on, but because it
was thought advisable to give my sue
cessor at center little experience in a
big game, which would be a good thing
for him the next season.
That's about all there was to that
incident. There was no seeing stars or
hearing birds singing, just a little tenn
porary dizziness. You see, football

coached and handled are in condition
to stand rather hard knocks. They are

ELEPHANTS IN BURMAH,
The Great Beasts Sometimes Work
Without Immediate Oversight.

America presents varied scenes and
contrasting methods in it's numbering
industries. and while modern invention
makes use Of endless cables and i'm
proved log tramWays, there can be
found in identical camps with these the
| most primitive power of skids and
steers. Even more than most persons
realize. the use of these slow animals
| is still adhered to, and the yoke of
| oxen is in requisition from the Maine
woods to the redwood forests of Cali
fornia. The sole use of the OK In a
lumber camp, however, is that of the
draught animal.
In Burmah the animal generally used
in numbering operations is the ele-
phant. While my lord the elephant"
solves in n unique way the transporter
ton Droblem-alWays a VeXatiouS one
in numbering operations-he does more
than that. The stolid and slow mov-
ing OK can haul q load from ones place
to another but the load has to be
made ready for him in the first place,
and after it has arrived at its destina-
ton it has to be unloaded. The ele-
plant takes care of all these operations.
Not only is he a draught animal but
in some instances, at a word from his
driver, he picks UP timber, carries it
to the designated point, and then not
only deposits it where it belongs, but
does so with precision and comparative
ease, accomplishing a result almost i'm
possible by hand labor, and with less
expenditure of time than would be re-
quired by steam crane.
In most cases an elephant driver, or
mahout, is required for each elephant,
but human labor is so cheap as not to
be q factor in the expense. The ele-
plant furnishes the labor which is
paid for. and the driver is looked upon
as a necessary, though not altogether
desirable. concomitant, as the native
helper is not so much to be relied upon
as his big charge. Opium and the
strong brews of native roots work on
human frailty, but the elephant has no
desire for these. In many big lum-
bering operations the elephants are
seemingly told" what they are to do
in the morning, and in some degree left
to carry on the work during the day
according to their own devices. Very
are the stories told of their
sagacity. One of these stories, vouched
for as true. concerns numbering, and
tells of an elephant that was about to
pick up log just as the great gong
which signaled the close of the days

the mahout, the log, only little larger

proved too heavy for the elephant to
lift from the ground. Another ele-
plant was requisitioned, but the two
together failed to make any Roadway
with the heavey timber, and the at
tempt was given up. In the morning
the first elephant went Immediately to
the timber. lifted it with apparent ease,
and carried it to the required resting

Everything physical being equal, it is

gray sooner than the man who earns

VALUATION OF PEARLS.
1t Depends Primarily on Three Items
to be Considered.

AS the savage decks himself out in bar
barrie ornaments and tattoos his body
until, gradually becoming more civilized,
he discards his gaudy trappings, SO with
nations, the newer country is apt to lean
to show and spectacular effect, while
the older civilization finds beauty in sub
dued coloring and less conspicuous orna-
mentation, says the Brooklyn Eagle. In
nothing is the advancement of a nation
more shown than in the style of jeWelry
and ornaments which it adopts, and
among all the different precious stones
none better illustrates this than the pearl
No person who has not a refined taste
can give this masterpiece of nature it's
true place among the beautiful gems. Nor
is It refinement alone that enables one to
fully appreciate its beauties; one must
have also a certain culture in the love of
precious gems.
The most important pearl fisheries are
Gulf of California and the Caribbean sea.
Pearls taken from different localities
vary, each locality having its marked
characteristics. Many people who have
pearls found in the fresh water rivers of
our own country to be of inferior quail
ity. This is not necessarily true, as the
value of a pearl depends upon three
of value must be round, pear shaped or
exactly oval; second, it's luster or orient,
as it is called by experts, and, third the
purity of its COLOR any yellow or gray
of decided color, however, are more rare,
and, with all other requirements in pro-
portion, are of much more value than the
pure white ones. Black pearls are by far
the most valuable. These come in order
pink, yellow and brown; but the colorS
must be decided.
1t is, of course, understood that the
outer surface or skin must be perfectly
smooth, without spot, wrinkle, bubble or
indention. A rough or irregularly formed
pearl Is known as q baroque. A pearl
should have the suggestion of a transpar-
ency and must have the peculiar ''orient. "
or luster, without which even pearls of
the finest form, color and size have but
little value. The orient in the pearl cor
responds exactly to the brilliancy in the
Misunderstanding 1t there is no charm.
Pearls are steadily advancing in price;
they cost now more than three times as
much as they did 10 years ago, the cause
being that the demand is so great the
fisheries are practically exhausted, both
rivers. In cur Western States, Wisconsin
especially many of the farmers have
given up filling the soil and have become
oystermen, dragging the river beds till
scarcely a pearl bearing oyster remains.
The deep sea fisheries are also in the
out of every so pears taken is fit to use,
one can really see that the demand is by
far In excess of the supply.
Fully illustrating the fact that fresh
water pearls can be of as fine a quality
as those gathered from the deep sea, one
taken from a Wisconsin river sold during
the past year for $4,000. No gems are
found without much delving, and this
most perfect of all gems, this single one
which the lapidary's art cannot improve,
nature has hidden most deeply, as If to
guard from sacrilegious hands.
