Mermaids In History.

Nearly all nations have folklore and
fairy-tale accounts of mermaids, and
some times of mermen. Even the
American Indians had their woman
fish" and e:man-fsh." The Chinese tell
stories about their sea-women of the
Southern seas. Sometimes merma1ds
and mermen are represented as leav-
ing the water and living with human
beings, but more frequently they are
pictured as being SO attractive that
they sometimes will lure human be-
ings to destruction in the depths OF the
sea. These myths have been utilized

Some investigator of curious sub

of travelling incognito was Peter the

famous Russian sovereign to adopt the
practice was joseph II. of Austria,
who, in 1777. made a little stay In
Paris under the title of Count Won
Falkenstein. Charles X. passed as the

Eugenia, in her splendor, frequently

Cold Tubs for Doqs.

Cold tubs for dogs is the latest n.y.
gienic rule in Germany. 1t has been
discovered that dogs contract certain
affections of the skin d communi
cate them to human beings. From
this fact the necessity for cleanliness
and frequent washing is deduced. Spe-
cial bathing establishments for dogs,
with specially costructed baths to OBJ
viate tubs or other receptacles into
which dogs object to go or to be lifted
are being built in many towns and are
widely patronized. The last has just
