The Raven in Folklore.

R. Boswell Smith, an Englishmal,
has recently made an exhaustive study
Of the place of the raven in folklorsr
in religious legends and in Literature
1t is a curious commentary on ths
people Of some Christian nations thai
they should hold the raven in abhoF

church, tell them that the bird which
they shun was the companion Of dor
en- or so saints and martyrs who
gained rather than lost in sanc1V

New Orleans, La, Aug. 22.-Though
there was an increase yesterday, both
in the number of new cases and of ia
talities, hopefulness continued to per-
wade the Federal headquarters touch
ing the local yellow fever situation.
The Monday list is always large 1t
was so in the epidemic of 1878. That
is attributed to the fact that the work
of inspection is not so thorough on
Sunday, and only the reports which
come from physicians are to be de-
pended on. In the matter of deaths,
uniformity is unusual from day to day
because the condition of the patients is
so largely affected by meteorological
and other conditions. The Federal au-
thorities have not reached a point
where they are willing to prophesy the
complete determination of the disease
before frost comes to destroy the bulk
of the remaining infected mosquitoes,
but they feel that there is reason for
the prediction that a repetition of Sc
riOus epidemicS of the past is no long
er to be reckoned with. In this con-
nection unusual precautions under the
supervision of the Marine Hospital
Service or otherwise are to be taken

HOUSES.

For some time the Inter Ocean
has been preserving incidents con-
corning the one-sidedness of the
mail order business, and give afew
below:
A fire alarm was sent in and the
local fire department responded,
the first man to reach the roof,
climbing a rickety ladder, was a
prominent city merchant, and CROP
ing his way through the binding
smoke he carried the hose to the
flames, and bravely stood at his
post, drenched to the skin, until
the fire was quenched. When
everything was saved the owner of
the building grasped his hand and
said he was saved from ruin as the
property was not insured. While
receiving these congratulations,
the merchant slipped on some
thing lying in the room and pick
ing it up found it to be a Mont
gomery, Ward e. Co. catalogue.
A farmer asked a city merchant
if he would not give him cash for
some produce the farmer had to
sell. The reason for the request
was that the farmer wanted the
money to pay his taxes. The mer-
chant, in order to accommodate his
neighbor, agreed to do SO, When
the produce was delivered, among
the packing of some eggs were two
catalogues Of Sears, Roebuck d
Co.
A congregation decided TO build
a church and a committee was APP
pointed to solicit funds from the
local merchants. The subscription
paper was unfolded on the counter,
the merchant gave $25, and as he
handed back the paper, the wrap
per dropped to the floor. Picking
it up he found it was a special
bargain of groceries that the pure
food commissioner had found to
contain the rankest poisons, sent
out by a mail order house.
A field day meet was held in
this city a few days ago, and the
merchants and business men gave
a number of valuable prizes to en-
courage the boys of the schools of
the county in their work. Not q
mail order house had it's name ON
the list.-DevilsLake Inter- Ocean.
