THE SERPENT'S VENOM.
Mohammedan Legend of the Origin
of the Tobacco Plant.

Mohammedan Legend of the Origin
of the Tobacco Plant.
The prophet was taking a stroll In
the country when he saw a serpent,
stiff with cold, lying on the ground.
He compassionately took 1t up and
warmed 1t in his bosom. When the
serpent had recovered 1t said;
Divine prophet, listen. am now
going to bite thee"
why, pray?" inquired Mohammed
Because thy race persecutes mine
and tries to stamp 1t out"
But does not thy race, too, make
perpetual war against miner was the
prophets rejoinder. How canst thou,
besides, be SO ungrateful and so soon
forget that l saved thy lifer
There Is no such thing as gratitude
upon this EARTH" replied the serpent,
land If 1 were now to spare thee
either thou or another of thy race
would kill me. By Allah, shall bite
thee"
"If thou hast sworn by Allah, l Will
not cause thee to break thy VOW" said
the prophet, holding his hand to the
serpent's mouth. The serpent bit him.
but he sucked the wound with his lips
and spat the venom on the ground.
And on that very spot there sprang
up a plant which combines within It.
self the venom Of the serpent and the
compassion Of the prophet. Men call
this plant by the name Of tobacco

Relics of MACMILLAN.

Queretaro Is full Of relics Of Maxi
milan. The town was always loyal to
him. In tiny little shop was shown
the golden keys presented to him when
he made his first entry into the city.
They were very massive, very hand
some and lay on scarlet velvet in a
carved mahogany case. The shop
keeper wanted $4,000 for the relic.
Alas, could not purchase at the prlcel
"Never mind" she comforted. 81 have
kept them thirty years. There is no
haste" Doubtless, but for the price,
which is prohibitlve, these keys would
now repose along with other interest
ing articles connected with the last
Mexican empire in the museum in the
"Palacio" of the state government,
where the curious may see the hldeous
wooden coffin In which Maximilian's
rlddled body was brought back from
the place of execution. Here, too, are
the table, the chairs, the pens, etc,
used at the court martial which met
in the Theatre Iturbide and condemn
ed him to death. The collection Is fas-
cinatingly interesting, but profoundly
sad, with the suggestion of greatness

Saturday night and went out on a still

GERMAN GLEE CLUBS.
Early Days of the Saengerfests In
This Country.


This Country.
In the early days Of saengerfests In
this country they were held annually.
The third saengerfest was held In New
York in 1852, and many Newark Ger
mans attended. Below are given ex-
tracts from the Newark Daily Adver-
tiser, printed at the time:
June 10, 1852. - The German glee
clubs of New York will celebrate the
third annual festival In New York
this year on the 10th to 22d Of June.
The New York Journal Of Commerce
states that the glee clubs from abroad
will be received by The New York
clubs and honored with a torchlight
procession. The principal performance
will take place at the Academy OF
Music, Fourteenth street when the
choruses will be sung by over 1900
male voices, accompanied by an or
chestra Of 100 pieces. On the 22d will
be held picnic on the Bloomingdale
road, opposite Strikers bay.
June 22.-Third musical jubilee OF
German singers, Saturday to Tuesday,
10th to 22d The execution Of the
Magic Flute" overture by 1900 voices
was very uncommon and surprising by
the New York clubs and was received
with great applause. The Eintrachts
Of Newark sang "Wallisischer Schif-
fergesang" In a distinguished manner.
But the most marked performance was
Martin Luther's Elm Feste Burg Ist
Unser Gott," arranged by Finke. We
felt Immediately what religious music
really is-how grand, solemn and sub
lime such q hymn is when performed
by q large orchestra and hundreds Of
voices. 1t was something to be re-
membered long. Kossuth was present
during an intermission and was cheer
ed.-Newark News.

Financial easy Marks"

1t Is their ignorance of the first prln-
ciples of investments that makes 80
many people the prey Of the parasites
who build financial air castles. Their
credulity usually varies in direct ratio
to their ignorance. For nearly ten years
the country has been blessed with I'M
paralleled prosperity, and, in the words
Of one Of the directors Of the greatest
industrial corporations Of the world,
"The man who hasn't made his fortune
In these ten years has only himself to
blame" The rapid growth Of the prl-
vate fortunes Of the men who have
been identified with our recent mar
velous industrial progress has made
many people ready to believe any fairy
story Of fortune making without labor.

CIGANA is A RARE BIRD.
This Native of south America Is Pos
sessed of Four Feet.


sessed of Four Feet.
Edward Morris Brigham Of Battle
Creek. Mich, the we'll known South
American traveller, has the only speci-
mems In this country Of rare bird that
has attracted much attention among
scientific men because 1t has four feet.
Its scientific name is Opisthocoma
cristat and is known TO the natives as
the cigana GYPSY.
1t is so contrary to the accepted order
of things that bird should have four
feet that the discovery Of this quadru-
ped bird was q surprise to the scientific
men. Mr.. Brigham's specimens are
preserved In alcohol.
Mr.. Brigham found these birds In
1882 while making embryological
studies In the interior Of the great
island of Marajo, at the mouth OF the
Amazon river.
The bird confirms the evolutionary
theory that birds descended from rep
lillian ancestors. Many fossil birds
show marked reptilian characteristics,
having teeth, etc. The whole evolution
ary process is shown In the Matching or
the egg Of the cigana.
The bird, progressing In It's embryo
logical course, passes into Its reptilian
ancestral type and before Its evolution
has carried 1t beyond the reptilian
phase it emerges from the egg as a
ouadruped animal Matched from an egg
laid by two footed, two winged bird.
There are we'll developed toes, each
terminated by large, we'll developed
claws.
For many days after Matching and
before 1t Is able to fly the young use
these four claws to climb about the
bushes and trees. But fore feet are
purposeless for an ordinary bird. Then
the modification begins and the fore
limbs are developed into wings, the
final post-natal result
The adult specimen In size and gen
eral appearance resembles a pheasant,
but, Of course, Is no relation, as the
cgana Is the sole survivor Of its genus,
its family, its order, of which biologists
have found numerous representatives
in fossil state.
Its geological range is quite limited,
being found only along the margins of
the Amazon and the OrinocO. The bird
lives and perches upon the leaves of
the amiga, q large water plant with
heart shaped leaves and callallke
flower, varying In height to twenty
feet The plant grows In masses on
low, muddy margins Of water courses
The cries uttered by the adult ciganas
are unlike those of any other birds and
are so doleful and demoniacal that II
sounds as if they were mourning for all
their extinct relations. These birds are
usually the most demonstrative in the
night.-DetrOit Free Press.

Try Now the Ways of Yore and Sec

Good old times, says the San Antonio

The old days are looked backward to
affectionately, says the Galveston
News, because they were the days OF
our youth, of bounding blood and sup
pie joints, the days Of hope and the
days Of love and laughter and song.
The days of the present will be the

and will be regarded by our successors
as rather crude In customs and harsh
In many ways, yet withal not to be de-
spised. The progressives of our age
are the mossbacks Of later eras. Fifty
years hence we will be accounted as
slow and immature - we now regard
those of half a century ago.

UNION OF CHURCHES.
A Movement That Seems to He Crow
ing In Favor.

The union of the Cumberland Pres
byterian with the Northern Presby-
terrain church, consummated at the
Presbyterian general assembly sitting
at Des Molnes, furnishes concerto and
highly gratifying evidence of the tend
ency toward INSTRUMENTATION unity
as a marked feature Of church life at
the present time.
The Cumberland Presbyterlans have
never been q large body, their present
membership being somewhat less than
100000 but they are highly intelli-
gent, liberal minded and progressive
class of believers, and their incorpora-
ton in the Presbyterian church will add
materially to the strength and prestige
of that denomination. This merger has
reduced the number Of separate de-
nominations having the Presbyterian
form of government and the same basic
doctrines from twelve to eleven, and
the hope is entertained that further
consultations will take place soon.
A movement has been on foot for
some years toward a union between the
northern and southern Presbyterians,
who were severed before the civil war
on the slavery issue and who are kept
apart now by nothing apparently but
old prejudices and the antipathy to-
ward change which always obstructs
religious progress in any and all lines
There are no apparent reasons better
than these why the Lutherans should
continue to be separated into twenty
two distinct bodies, the Baptists into
thirteen and Methodists into seventeen.
How large a waste of means and en-
ergieS is entailed upon the churches ID
keeping up all the separate denomina'
tiOnal machines which these divisions
involve can hardly be estimated, TO say
nothing of the worse result in the ex-
ample set before the nOnreligiOus world
Economy and concentration of force Is
a lesson which the churches have been
slow 10 learn, but happily a change for
the better in this respect seems now to
be at hand. Some believe that COM

of automobiles, was in San Francisco

tiers and, finding an auto standing IN
the street, asked its lone occupant TO
drive him to another hotel. Machines
busted" was the chauffeur's laconic
remark. ooh, l know all about auto
mobiles" said Colonel Pope afrably.
LET me see You do, hey?' said a
gruff voice at his elbow. Colonel Pope
turned to regard a burly sergeant OF
infantry with a squad Of leather faced
soldiers at his back. They didn't look
like men who could be bribed, per-
suaded or bullied. I'VE need men like
YOU" continued the sergeant, 80 you'll
have to come with us. Step along
Colonel Pope stepped and spent the
next six days repairing automobiles
