Gadsden, July 9.-Rumors are again rife to the fleet that the Louisville and Nash vile railway will within a very short time put on a train service between Knox vile, Tenn, and Birmingham by way of Gadsden and Cartersville, Ga. It is stated from an unofficial source that the equip ment for this service has been pur- chased, and the report is given full cred ence here. The proposed route is partly over the tracks of the Seaboard Air Line and 1t is well known fact that the Louisville and Nahsville has contract to operate trains over this road from We'll ington on its Anniston and Birmingham division to Cartersville on it's Knoxville and Atlanta division.

On the Invention of Whisky.

The name of the man who first
staggered humanity by the inven-
ton of whisky is lost in the mists
of the middle ages, and all the in
genuity of counsel now employed
in trying TO find out what whisky
is has failed to disclose his identity.
The fiery potion was known in Eng
land in the eleventh century, but in
Scotland not till the fourteenth.
But Scotland made up for lost time.
She gave the bright liquid its allur-
ing name, the water of life," and

A curlou. Lake.

Bridger lake, in northwest Wy

and one which cannot be claimed
for any other body Of water In
America. 1t has this popularity: (:
1t discharges its waters into both
the Pacific ocean and the guilt Of
Mexico. During the average sea-
sons the waters of Bridger lake flow
out through small river which is
a tributary to the Yellowstone, and
the water thus discharged finally
reachss the gulf by way of the Mis-
souri, snd Mississippi rivers. Dur
ing rainy seasons the level Of the
lake becomes SO high that the waters
empty through another opening
also. The waters which are discharg-
ed through this second chasn flow

WELSH SUPERSTITIONs.
They Associate Spectral Hounds With
Mountain Storms.

One of the many curious supersti-
tions of the Welsh peasantry is that
Of Cron Annwn, OF "the spirit
hounds of the sir" When storm
RACES over the mountains Of Wales
the peasant will tell you that his
ear can discern the howl of the Cron
Annwn mingled with that of the
wind, but sufficiently clear and dis
tinct to admit of no mistake of what
it is.
These spirit hounds" he tells
you, are the spectral dogs which
hunt the souls of the dead, or which
foretell by their expectant cry the
approaching death of some person
of evil deeds. Few Of those who pre-
tend that they can so readily dis
tinguish the cry of the soul hunting
pack are willing to admit that they
have ever actually seen Cron
Annwn, ''for," they say, ''who would
linger until such specters dawned
upon the sight? p They are describ-
ed by Faliesin and also i'll the MA
binogion," where it is said they are
of clear, shining white, with red
ears. The above seems to be the uni
versal description, and on that ac-
count the author of Mythology Of
the Ancient Druids" gives it as his
opinion that they are really "mys-
tical transformations of Druidish
priests, with their white robes and
red tiaras."
In the popular superstitions Of
Ireland, where similar belief in
spectral hounds exists, they are said
to be set black, with eyes and teeth
of fire" Old Con McMichael, who
murdered twenty persons in the ear
iy part OF the fifteenth century and
who got rid of his victims by burn
ing their bodies, is said to have been
eaten by spectral dogs ''that could
be seen high in the air awfully rend-
ing and tearing his flesh" One of
the pecuiiarities of the Cron Annwn
is that tie farther away they are the
louder their cries appear, the sound
decreasing as they draw near.

FOR THE LITTLE ONES
How shs Days Of th. wssk Came BY
Thsir Names.


Sunday and Monday are named
from the sun and the moon, Tues
day for the god of war (Tiw or Tyr,
son of Wooden, and Frigga, the earth
mother. Wednesday should be Wo-
densday, for it is named in honor Of
Wooden, the king of gods; Thursday
for Thor, the greatest deity of
northern mythology. They used to
say when Thor threw his wonderful
hammer the noise of thunder was
heard through the heavens. Thor
was the only god that could not
cross from earth to heaven upon the
rainbow. He was so heavy and pow
erful the other gods feared the bow
of promise would break beneath his
giantlike weight.
Friday was sacred to Friggs,
queen Of the gods, and not, as the
little girl said, because on Friday
they always had their fish fried.
Saturday comes from Saeter, the
god of harvest.

A F.a. Of Strength.

Most boys will be interested in
the assertion made by an English
paper that "any fellow of moderate
strength can lift q boy about his own
weight in one hand" These are
the instructions:
Ask the boy you are going to lift
to stand in corner of the room
perfectly stiff with his hands at his
sides. Place your left hand fiat
against the wall for support, and
then bend down and place your
right hand under his foot. Then
gradually straighten your body, and
up he will come if he keeps his legs
and body perfectly rigid.
"Try to lift light boy first" the
instructor blandly adds. But here
is pastime boys of any size can try.
In fact, the taller the experimenter
is the more the spectators will enjoy
