In Coup TipperafY, Ireland, there
Is holy we'll in Which swinls a white
trout with a red spot on its side. This
Is the legend of how this strange fish
originated: When Cromwelrs army
was passing through Ireland it Div-
ouacked in the neighboihood of this
well. a soldier, hearing OF the splendid
white trout in 1t, swore lie would have
1t for his next meal With scoop net
he managed to capture the fish, aud
when he reached home laid 1t in tho
frying pan. Immediately it 1eaped out
on the floor Several times this was
repeated Finally the soldier put the
lid on the pan and a great stone upon
it to hold it down. When he thought
the fish cooked he transferred it to a
plate. The moment, however, he stuck.
his fork into it there was great shIiel1,s
the trout leaned TO the floor. md there.
instead of a fish, lay beautiful young
girl with blood streaming from her side
where the fork had entered The girl
reproached the soldier with his cruelty
and commanded him to put her in The
well, where she WAS Obliged to STAY,
until the last day under the spell or
enchantment This the soldier did. and
tie enchanted one is still there jn the
form of a white trout With Il blood red
mark upon its side The legend does
not tell what became OF the soldier.

SPIDERS OF cEYLoN.
Their Golden Webs VIII Ensnarc
Birds and Lizards.

Their Golden Webs VIII Ensnarc
Birds and Lizards.
Far up in the mountains of Ceylon
there lisa spider that spins web like
bright yellowish silk, the central net
of WHICH is five feet in diameter, while
the SUPPORTING lines or guys, as they
are called, measure sometimes ten or
twelve feet. The spider seldom bites
or stings, but should any one try to
catch him bite he will, and, though not
yenomous, his jaws are as powerful as
birds bealS.
The bodies of these spiders are very
handsomely decorated, being bright
gold or scarlet underneath, While the
upper part is covered with the most
delicatesslate colored fur.
SO strong are the wells that birds the
size of larlls are frequently caught
therein, and even the small but pow
erful sealY lizard falls victim A
writer says that he has often sat and
watched the yellow monster -measur,
ing, when waiting for his prey, with his
legs stretched out fully six inches
striding across the middle of the net
and noted the rapid manner in which
he winds his stout threads round the
unfortunate captive.
He usually throws the coils about the
head until the wretched victim is first
blinded and then choked. In many un-
frequented dark nooks of the jungle
you come across skeletons of small
birds caught in these terrible snares.

ciRCuMsTANTlAL EVIDENCE.
A Case In which the Jury's Foreman

saved the Accused.
Very eminent legal authorities agree
that as to the facts of case tile
jury is more likely to be right than the
Judge. An instance comes to our mind
one of the most extraordinary in the
history of our legal system, the account
Of which we owe to the man who tried
and presided over the trial. Lord Chief
Justice Dyer. This was a "clear case
of murder. The victim had been found
stabbed to death IN a field wood, by
his side the pitchfork with which the
deed had been done The man who
owned the fork was arrested, and the
blood stained suit he had Worn was
found hidden in Il mattress.
Shorn of testimony from any one who.
had seen the crime AZ ..:ally committed,
there WAS not a link missing from the
chain of evidence against the prisoner
1t was in vain that he pleaded not
guilty, everything WAS so concluSiyely
clear against him A verdict of guilty
was expected Immediately from the
jury, but the foreman asked that as
the life of fellow creature was at
retire. The judge did not understand
why they should wish to do so in so
simple Il case; still, the jury had its
wish. 1t did not return. The court adj
journed for luncheon; the Jury did not
come back i'll the afternoon, and in
spite of several anxious inquiries from
the bench, it had not made up it's mind
when the court rose for the day-there
was one man holding out. The jury
was locked up for the night, and in
the morning brought in verdict of
not guilty! This was poser, and the
judge dismissed the jury saying, "The
blood of the deceased lies at your
door,"
Private inquiry by the judge elected
the fact that the foreman. Il man of I'M
blelnished reputation and of consider
able estate. had been the cause of the
verdict, which the rest had been
starved into accepting. The judge sent
for this gentleman, and in his private
room begged him to explain the mys-
terry of his obduracy and the amazing
finding of his fellows, first pledgng
himself to preserve inyiolate any con-
hdence which the other might repose in
him. Then the foreman told him how
he himself had met the victim for
whose murder the prisoner had been
tried, how this man had sought to take
advantage of his official position and
exact unjust tithcs, how they quar-
relied and fought. how the man had at
tempted to kill him with a fork, and
how he dhe foreman of the jury had
killed his antagonist with his own
pitchfork, then fled. The prisoner. com

The Drunknrd.s Cloak.

Some odd torture relics of the past
have recently been sold at auction in
London. Quaintest among them was
device known as the drunkard's s
cloak. 1t is made of wood and in
shape resembles n huge inverted flower
pot. Through the small circular aper-
ture in the top was thrust the neck of
the imprisoned ihebriate. The weight
Of this ancient counterpart OF the
straitjacket fell on the victims shoul-
ders and was sufficient to make ev-
cry bone in his body ache. With his
hands practically pinned TO his sides
and the garment reaching almost to the
ground, the only motion allowed him
was stbw shuttle Of his weary feet as
he dragged his way painfully along.
One can well beliaye that amy one who
had beeh compelled to don the drunk
ards cloak would be Gerry apt to come
to the conclusion tnat high old time
raa rot worth having at the price.

He Walked Far TOO Ear.

In hotel iii Berlin there is a nigllt
Watchman who did not take kindly to
the system adopted a few years ago
requiring him to go through the hotel
at certain hours and touch an electric
button fixed up in various places. Aft
er much thought he fixed UP an AUTO
matte arrangement on several of the
buttons so that they would report AT
certain hours. Soon the button system
got so out of order that the manage,
ment abolished it. 1t was found nec-
essary to keep watch in some way on
the man, however and finally padoni-a
eter was given him TO carry OH his
rounds which would register every
step he took All went we'll the FIRST
two nights thereafter, but on fiie llorlf-
Ing following the third night the old
man was missing On search being
made he was found sound asleep In
the engine room, and the pedonleter so
attached to the piston rod of the en-
gine that with every stroke 1t regis
tered a step. 1t had been travelling all
night, and when taken off it registered

ENGRAVED PICTURES.
Their Romantic Origin Dates Back to
the Fifteenth Century.

=.
The art of engraved pictures dates its
romantic origin to the chamber of
Fioreitiae goldsmith, Maso HiiEiguerra,
IN the fifteenth century, about the time
that Gutenberg was struggling with
his printing from movable types. Be
fore that day pictures We're drawn or
painted by hand. Finiguerra was a
celebr2 tssss' tss worker in metals and, being
commissioned to make Il pax of gold
engraved with Il coronation of the Vir-
gin, he sought to test his design by
hfling in the lines With preparation
of oil and lampblack which threw the
picture into relief. by chance the face
was laid face downward on q piece of
damp linen, and when taken up it was
discovered that the picture was printed.
Sheet after sheet of damp paper was
impressed by the same plate and the
good news that the art of printing pic
lures was born spread like wildfire

NO SENTIMENT IN sIGHs.
They Are Simply Caused by Desire
For More Breath.

For More Breath.
The sigh, Which from time immemo-
rial and by all the poets whoever sung
has been regarded as matter Of sen
timent and connected with the emo
tions, is declared by physicians to be
as purely physical phenomenon as is
the sneeze or cough. A well known
Philadelphia doctor, speaking of this
the other day, explained that the sigh
is natures method of making one take
a deep breath. When the lungs have
been getting insufficient air n sigh is
the means by which t.acs- are replenish-
ed, or when the air has been impure
the sigh which one often takes in step
ping out into the open air is from the
same cause.
The doctor admitted that people
sometimes sigh from sorrow or other
mental i'll, but maintained that this is
partly because it has been accepted as
the expression Of grief through ages as
long as kissing and handshaking have
been accepted as signs of affection or
friendship. Another reason why sigh
fellows sorrowful thought IS that
such thoughts are often concentrated
and Intense enough to cause INSULT
Client breathing. When the lungs suf-
fer for certain time from this insult
ficiency the sigh follows. Sighs are
often caused, too, says. the same au-
thority, by certain sorts of Indigestion.

THINKS HE is BUNCOED
Young Man Has Big Lot of Perfumery
on Hand but No MOney-Traded
Wit!, Detroit Company and Finds He
= rs Cut About ST 900.

The FLOWING in regard to a young
man WHO is known in this city is
taken from the News and Observer:
'Mr. J.. B. Robson, who came to
Raleigh, from Dillon, S. c., to represent
the Elysian Manufacturing Company,
of Detroit, in the sale of perfumery,
Thinks he has been swindled out of
$1,000, and he is after the money.
HE went from Dillon to Detroit
and paid $1,000 on a contract to sell
perfumery in North Carolina, the COM
pany promising 1925 a month and ex-
penses, provided he sold on an average
$500 worth of perfumery a month. Civ
ing him a stock which the company
said was worth 81 ,666. The young
man came to Raleigh and opened an
Office in the Carolina Trust Company
but there was nothing, or very little
doing in trade, and the $125 a month
did not come.
FINALLY Mr.. Robson employed Mr..
Charles Z. Harris as counsel to bring
suit against the company, and Mr..
Harris, after looking into the matter,
found three or four other men situat-
ed as his client, the latter claiming that
the 81, 666 worth of perfumery is worth
of perfumery is worth less than $3.50.
Mr.. Harris finally found that already
more than twenty suits had been insti-
tuted against the Detroit company, so
he did not bring a civil suit, but turned
the papers W to a post Office inspec-
tor, who is now making an investiga-
ton as to the matter of SwindIing

Three Vessels Cleared From This Port
Yesterday-Two Carried Cargoes
and One Was Light.

1t is a rare thing now for a day to
pass without there being considerable
shipping news at this port. Some days
there is a long string of arrivals and
on others it is a number of clearances.
The latter was the ease yesterday,
three vessels leaving this port and of
the number two carried cargoes.
The Carrie A. Buchanan, Captain
Williams, cleared for New York with
a cargo of three hundred thousand feet
of lumber, shipped by the Cape Fear
Lumber Company.
Captain Williams mas just taken
charge of the Carrie A. Bucknam, sue
