Various Traditions Relating I

Various Traditions Relating to
These Two Famous Giants.
Who were Cog and Magog? English
tradition says that they were the last
sf race Of giants who infested Eng
land until they were destroyed by
some of the Trojans who went to the
British isles after the destruction of
Troy Cog and Magog. 1t is said. were
taken captive to London, where they
were chained at the door Of the palace
Of the king. When they died wooden
images Of the two giants were put in
their places In the course of time a
great fire destroyed these, but now, If
you go to London, you will see In the
great hall of one of the famous build
ings - the Guildhall = two immense
wooden effigies of men called Cog and
Magog.
But there are other traditions of the
two giants. One is to the effect that
when Alexander the Great overran
Asia he chased into the mountains Of
the north an impure, wicked and man
eating people who were twenty-five ma
lions In number and who were shut up
with a rampant In which were gates of
brass. One of these nations was Goth
and another Magoth, from which we
readily get the names of the mythical
giants. 1t is supposed, however, that
the Turks were meant by Cog and the
Mongols were the children Of Magog.
We shall find mention made of Cog
and Magog In many books, including
the Bible, but there are the great wall
and the rampant of Cog and Magog,
whatever may have been the fact that
gave the names of the two giants to
that portion of the structure.

1t is not generally known that fish
yawn. The writer saw a turbot yawn
twice and cod once. the latter being
one of the widest yawns accomplished
by any animal of it's size. The yawn
of turbot. being something not com
monty seen, deserves particular de-
scription. A turbot's mouth is twisted
on one side. rather as if 1t had be-
longed to round fish which some one
had accidentally trod ON and squashed
half fiat The yawn begins at the lips,
which open as If to suck In water.
Then the jaws become distended, and
1t is seen that this is going to be a
real, genuine submarine fish's yawn.
But the yawn goes on, works through
the back of its head, distending the
plates of the skull. and comes out at
the gills, which open, show the red In
side, are inflated for a moment. and
then, with a kind of stretching SILVER
of its back, the fish fiattens out again.
until, If unusually bored, it relieves
itself by another yawn.-Pearson's

zone of the most generally accepted
but mistaken ideas that are entertained
by the people of this country" said a
travelling representative of a foreign
mandatory of gut strings, is that
strings used on musical instruments
are manufactured from catgut. # that
We're true the cats in this world would
have been exterminated many years
ago in supplying the market with ma
lerial for musical instrument strings.
THE fact is that they are manufac-
tured from the intestines of sheep, and
in obtaining enough raw material even
from these animals the manufacturers
at times find difficulty.
"The only string made from the in
testines of the feline is that used for
surgical purposes for sewing up
wounds. One would be amazed to
know that there are millions of mu-
steal instrument strings used in North
America alone, and just think where
the tabbies would be if they had to
supply the consumption.
another amazing thing is that there
are over roo different grades of musical
instrument strings. The demand for
strings in North America is increasing
every year, especially in the south and
in Mexico. There are more guitar
strings sold in Mexico than any other
kind, but through the south the banjo
string is still popular, despite the fact
that every year has marked slight but
gradual falling off in the demand"-

quet the peculiarities of American
speech were discussed with English
bluntness. Lord S. called to Mr.. Lowell

vulgar as to be objectionable. They
talk of the ashes of the dead We

TIE GOD OF WAR.
BIustering Mars and His Name Month,
the Thracian OF the Twelve.


the Thracian OF the Twelve.
Mars was not a favorite among the
classic Greeks, nor is his name month
a great fayorite among the Gothic
moderns. The god Of war was bar
barian intruder in the Olympian circle.
There was something Thracian, and by
that token crude and unworthy in his
manner He was more Of blusterer
than a fighter and Homer narrates
with evident relish how Pallas Athene
tumbled him over in combat, his vast
bulk covering several acres. OF wild
aspect, untutored ways and Indifferent
wits, he had little to recommend him
but his immoral origin.
Such also is the month that has taken
the war gods name. One poet notes
it's ugly looks and threats "a half
wild creature cast from natures lap"
another calls it. The proverb mad as
a March hare says the same thing
with less reticence. English people
call the month March Manyweath-
ers'' and thereby intimate their doubt
of its capacity for sustained purpose.
1t is the Thracian of the twelve, as
September is the Tyrian There is
something clustering and barren in its
aspect, as there is in what people call
"a good war" The winds that blow
from one end of it to the other are not
"the winds of Cod" A peck of March
dust may be worth kings ransom, as
a wise saw has it, but from the aver
age human it gets less grateful guer-
don. Beware the ides Of March" is
good wisdom for our common human
ity.-New York Mail.

Those whose acquaintance with
clans extends only to little necks on
the half SHELF will be slow to think
evil of any members of so delightful a
family. But the shy and peaceful
little neck has some big brothers
who vigorously resent any attempt to
pry into their personal affairs. Men
have accidentally stepped into the
open jaws of these huge CLAIMS at low
tide, and the clans, closing their jaws,
have held them fast until the tide
rose, when the men were drowned.
Other men have reached for a lure In
the form of luminous spot. The in

HANNAH MORE.
The Unfortunate Love story of Fa-
nous English Writer.

The Unfortunate Love story of a Fa-
nous English Writer.
Hannah More was born on Feb. 2,
1745, at Stapleton, in Worcestershire,
her father being the master of Il
school in the neighborhood. In 1857
her eldest sister, Mary, who was then
twenty-one. with her sisters Elizabeth
and Sarah, opened a ladies' school in
Trinity street, Bristol, taking Hannah
and her younger sister, Patty, who
were then respectively twelve and ten
years of age, as pupils. The school
was great success, and Hannah be
came a highly cultivated girl. Some
where about the year 1857 she made
the acquaintance Of Mr.. Turner of
Belmont He was wealthy bachelor,
considerably older than herself and the
owner of a fine estate near Flax Bour-
ton, in Somersetshire She is describ-
ed as being at this time an exceedingly
pretty girl with delicate features and
beautiful eyes. These characteristics
she retained to the end of her life, as
the portrait of her by Pickersgill in
the national portrait gallery clearly
shows. She became a constant visitor
at Belmont and in due course of time
received from Mr. Turner a proposal
of marriage, which she accepted. She
withdrew from her connection with the
school and made all Preparations foI
her wedding.
This, however, never took place
Three times was the day fixed and as
| often for some unintelligible reason
| postponed by Mr.. Turner. His affec
ton for her seems to have been sin
| cere, but he was a man of curious
and rather gloomy disposition, and hi:
| strange conduct may possibly be REFER
red to some mental perversity. At las
her friends interfered and insisted OF
the engagement being broken off. Mr.
Turner was very anxious to make set
| Element upon her, and, though for som'
time she declined to entertain the pro
posal. she was finally persuaded b.
| Sir James Stonehouse to accept an an
nuity of E200 year This unfortunat
affair did not Interfere with the friend
ship and respect which Mr.. Turne
continued to feel for her, and at hi
death he left her a legacy Of f1,OOC
But it probably left its mark on hel
and, though she subsequently receive
two offers of marriage, she decline
them both-New York Tribune.
