Bluebeard q Real Hero.

The original Bluebeard of nursery lore was Giles, Marquis de Laval and marshal of France. He was fearless general, and greatly distinguished him. self under Charles VI. and Charles VII, but his bravery was completely eclipsed by his cruelty and wicked ness. Wherever he went he was fol- lowed by his band of actors, sorcorers, packs of hounds, and crowds of retain CTS. It was said he would gain the love of young boys and girls and then kill them in order to obtain their blood for incantations and charms. The Duke of Brittany, against whom he had committed crime of state, con. demned him to be burnt alive at Nan. tes, but later he took pity on him and remitted the sentence so that he was strangled before he was burned.

Fictitious Astronomy.

We called attention some months ago to certain inaccuracies in points of fact into which great writers of hc- .tion have fallen, through ignorance or inadvertence. Astronomy seems to have perpleXed the makers of great imaginative fiction. Poetical tempera- ments must ever be interested in the stars, yet may uot understand their mathematical habits.
 In "Hard Times" Dickens makes a slip. Stephen Blackpool falls down an old mine shaft, whence he is rescued after many hours. When he has re- covered consciousness for a few mo- ments before his death, he looks up at star and says:
 Tt ha' shined on me in my pain and trouble down below. Often as coon to myself and found it shin in on me down there in my trouble, I thowt 1t were the star as guided to our Savior's home. awmust think 1t be the very star."
 The idea is beautiful enough to make us forget the fact that, lying at the bottom of deep pit with relatively narrow aperture, Stephen could not have seen any one star for more than few minutes. But perhaps, Dickens knew what he was about, after all, for Stephen is a harassed and dying man. His words may be simply the delusion of weakness and emotion, and pro- foundly true from the point of view of another science-psychology. Hugo makes more evident blunder. In the third chapter of the second book of "The Man Who Laughs" a hooker or fishing-smack is represented at sea in midwinter; 1t has left Portland Har- bor, England, and is some hours out. The captain looks in vain through the mist for the three stars of Orion. The old man in the other end of the hooker replies that he cannot see the red star Antares. The mist does not prevent him from seeing Antares, for it must have set some hours before. Orion would be plainly visible high in the heavens, but Antares would be far be- low the horizon.

Ancient Egyptian Plants.

The oldest herbarium in the world is in the Psychologist museum in Cairo, and consists of an inconspicu. ous collection of dried portions of plants. These portions of plants and flowers were taken from wreaths and garlands in the collins with mummies, where they were placed by the ancient Egyptians as death offerings, and from edible plants which were set in earth en vessels on the floor of the sepul- chre as the furniture of the last rest ing place of their beloved ones.
 Many of these floral remains are so well preserved that after being treat ed with warm water, they can bo handled like modern herbarium speci- mems. The colors, too, are preserved in a remarkable way- The most i'm portant matter in connection with these plants Is their age.

A True SchoO master.

There are too few men who under stand truly, all their lives, the heart of boy, and in that understanding can guide him to his own development Such man, says Mr. Bryce, the au. thor of Studies in Contemporary Bi. ography," was Edward Bowen, for many years assistant master at Har- row.
 He lovod boys as he loved teaching. He took them with him in the holidays on walking tours. He kept up corre- spondence with many of his pupils af- ter they left Harrow and advised them as occasion rose. To many of them he remained through life the model whom they desired to initiate. But he was very chary of the exercise of in. huence.
 "A boys character" he wrote once, "grows like the Temple of old, with out sound of mallet and trowel. What we can do is to arrange matters so as to give virtue her best chance. We can make the right choice sometimes little easier, we can prevent tenden. cies from blossoming into acts, and render pitfalls visible. How much in directly and unconsciously we can do none but the recording angel knows.
 "'You can and you should,' said Chiffers, 'go straight to the heart of every individual boy
 "Well, fellow creature's mind is a sacred thing. You may enter into that arcanum once year, shoeless. And in the effort to control the spirit of a pupil, to make ones own approval his test and mold him by the stress of ones own presence-in the ambition to do this, the craving for moral power and visible guiding, the subtle pride of effective agency, lie some of the chief temptations of a schoolmaster's work"

Genuine AntiUues.

The zealous clerk was trying to per suade Mrs. Comstock to buy pair of antique brass candlesticks. "Madam, these are genuine old candlesticks."
 "Well, how am to know they are?"
 Because you can buy the limitations anywhere. And l advise you to snap these up while you can get them. There have been so many limitations that the demand for the genuine art. cle is falling off, and the manufactur- CTS will not make any more antique ones."
 "Is that so? Well, I certainly am fortunate to have seen these before you sold them. How much are they?"

Tho Cheapness of Life

In the matter of thrillings, human nature seems to obey some hitherto un- tabulated law of selection. Let a regiment of 1000 men be decimated in charge upon Santiago outwork and the country resounds with a min. gled cry of praise and lamentation. But in every peaceful year of the world more than eight entire regiments of lives are lost in railroad accidents iD the United States, and so the man who reads about them over his coffee and chop in the morning be not bereaved personally or by near proxy, he ex- periences only a perfunctory shock now and again when some notable wreck punches the killing and wound ing a thought too unevenly.-Reader Magazine.

Burmese Were Ingenious.

After conQuering Burmah the Brit ish undertook to carry the great Rangoon bell, the third largest in the world, to Calcutta as trophy, but dropped it overheard in the Rangoon river, where it defied all the efforts of the engineers to raise it. Some years later the Burmese, who had not ceased to mourn its loss, begged to be allowed to recover it. Their petition was grant ed, and by attaching to it an incredible number of bamboo floats the unwieldy mass of metal was finally lifted from its muddy bed and triumphantly re- stored to its place.

PRoFANE MEN ARE SCARCE.
Noticeable Decadence of a Habit that
 Ia Odfous to the Sensitive.

Noticeable Decadence of Habit that
 Is Odious to the Sensitive.
 Many purists will bewail the prevail ence of slang in the spoken language of the period. Has it never occurred to them that in the vast majority of instances slang is relatively soft and harmless, that 1t is seldom profane, and that what common speech has suf- fered from interjections of slang and cant phrases has been more than coun- teracted by the disuse of hard old Anglo-Saxon swear words? Thus the language is really the gainer and usage is making much of the slang good En- glish. Take any good dictionary lately from the press and 1t will be found to contain literally hundreds of words that were considered slang and not to be spoken in polite conversation doz- en or twenty-five or fifty years ago. Likewise, take any standard novel of three, four or five generations ago, which reflects the customs and people of its period, and it will be found that some of the leading characters in 1t were given to politely damning varl- ous parts of themselves and about everything else on the slightest provo cation, in any company whatsoever.
 In the days of Sheridan it was con. sidered good form for the gallant gen. tleman to consign himself to peldition piecemeat or as whole while paying tribute to the charms of the ladies with whom he was cOnversing. The rotund and benevolent MT. Pickwick himself was not averse to using a judicious oath while in the most charming society. Thackeray in per son and in his novels let drop swear words occasionally that would not now be tolerated in gentleman's parlor. There was famous and brilliant law. yer of Charleston, who flourished not long before the outbreak of the civil war, who swore plausibly, artistically and easily in polite company and told risque stories in the most select cir cles, and he was accounted among the most delightful company to be found within the broad eXpanse of the coun. try. In the "good old days" of long ago it was regarded as a gentleman's privilege to swear and if his oaths were nicely chosen no offense was felt. It is not so now. Not that profanity is obsolete, but it is pretty nearly so in polite society. It is principally in dulged in by uncultured persons or by the tipsy. Occasionally the gentleman may let slip an oath, under provoca. ton, but in such instances he is care full to note that there is no woman within earshot. The "d-" at the dinner table or in the drawing room is unknown in these modern and better days. Men have higher and finer re- spect for women, for themselves and for the language than in former times. Savannah News.
