ENGLISH Legend of Tailed Men.

When Hollander wants to show
his contempt for an Englishman
he refers to him as 'Esteert man"
in other words, "the man with a
tail" The old legend says that
Thomas a Beckett cursed the Kent
ishmen who spitefully cut off his
horses tail and that the entire gen.
Grafton of Kent which followed
wore tails like horses. John Bale,
Edward Wis bishop of Ossory,
mentions the legend, but gives some
variations as to the cause of the
punishment. He says on the ar-
thority of John Capgrave that ''for
castyne yshe tayles at st. Angus
tine Dorsetshyre men had tayles
ever after that" Polydorus, how
ever, applies the legend to the
Kentish men of Stroud ''forecutting
off Tomas Becket's horses tayle. "
One account says that only those
living in Kent at the time the curse
was pronounced 'swere afflicted with
large dropping tayles like brutes,
their posterity beying not so af-
fected."

He Held on to His Knife.

On the afternoon OF June |, 1872,
an old painter named William McCul-
Tough while painting the bridge above
the falls between the first and second
Sister islands fell into the rapids. In
stantly he was swept furlously toward
the cataract. but whlrled into lesser
waves, so that he struck against and
seized a rock not far above the brink.
Hundreds quickly gathered on the
shore and watched, all eager to help,
but ignorant what to do. Among them
was Thomas Conroy, who secured a
coil Of rope, fastened one end to a
tree on shore and with the other end
in his hand waded out as far as he
could and occasionally swan, the wa
ter being from eighteen inches to six
feet deep He aimed far up stream to
allow for the power Of the current and
at last with great difficulty reached the
unfortunate painter and bound him to
himself with the rope. They were
swept off their feet several times on
the way back to shore, but the rope
had been firmly fastened, and they
finally landed safely. When they
reached shore 1t was found that Me
Cullough still clutched his putty knife
firmly In his hand, having held 1t dur
ing the three hours he had been on the
brink of the falls.

Dublin BootbIacks, 1880,

Among the populace Of Dublin in
lTS0 the shoebIacks were a numerous
and formidable body. The polish they
used was lampblack and eggs, for
which they purchased all that were rot
ten In the markets. Their implements
consisted of a three legged stool, bas-
ket containing a blunt knife called a
spud, a painters brush and an old
wig. A gentleman usually went out in
the morning with dirty boots or shoes,
sure to find a shoeblack sitting on his
stool at the corner of the street. The
gentleman put his foot in the lap of the
shoeblack without ceremony. and the
artist scraped 1t with his spud, wiped
it with his wig and then laid on his
composition as thick as black paint
with his painters brush. The stuff
dried with rich polish, requiring no
friction and little inferior to the elab-
Grated modern fluids. save only the in
tolerabIe odors eXhaled from eggs In a
high state Of putridity, which filed
any house which was entered before
the composition was quite dry and
sometimes even tainted the air Of fash
lonable drawing rooms. Polishing shoes,
we should mention, was at this time
refinement almost confined to cities,
people in the country using grease.

A TRYING LANGUAGE.
rhe Study Of Japanese 10 Surrounded
by Difficulties.

Japanese IL not an easy language
even for the native born subject OF the
mikado, but II Is very difficult of &C.
luirement by the westerner. Give Hot
land IN bis book, odd and New ia.
pam" dos not give foreigners any
encouragement that they viii ever be
able really TO learn the language. II
takes n Japanese child seven years, II
is said, to learn the essential parts OF
the Japanese alphabet, To use a Japa'
ncse dictionary, MIR, Holland says. one
must be familiar with no fewer than
214 signs, which may be said to serve
the same purpose rs initial letters In
American dictionaries, Then after one
has tracked down In one Of these PA
signs some part Of the character for
which he Is about to undertake an ex.
ploration he stlll has verltable north
pole hunt ahead OF him.
The pompous first personal pronoun
Is avoided whenever II Is possible In
speaking Japanese, II It must be used
1t Is introduced casually, but generally
the abstract noun "seltishness" serves
In It's stead. For example. a Japanese
would not say "a don't drink wine"
but Wine Cont drink" or. II this Is
not clear enough. "Seltishness wine
don't drink" Reference to ones own
possessions must be depreclatory. Thus
IL a man wishes to point out his own
residence he says, "That miserable
house." which. of course, could refer
to no other than his own. On the 9th.
er hand, That beautiful house" would
easily identify the house as belonging TO
some one else
Moreove:. any one who wishes to
learn Japanese must be prepared TO
learn two languages, the written and
the spoken The one differs so ma
terially from the other that II a Japa-
nese is reading a book or newspaper
and wishes TO do so aloud 1t becomes
necessary FOR him TO translate the
written words into the colloquial To
be able to read any of the higher class
Japanese newspapers, Mr.. Holland
says, 1t is necessary to master at least
from $500 to 5000 ideographs.

EASY TO CURE CATARRH.
Just Breathe in Hyomei, the Dry Air
That Kills the Germs.

You can do exactly what G. J.
Sterers did by using Hyomei Read
this:
:"After having suffering from chron-
ic catarrh for years, for which | tried
various remedies without success,
became almost discouraged. After
reading about Hyomei, | decided to
make one more effort to rid myself
Of the dread disease, and to my great
delight | found the use of two bottles
Of the Inhalent sufficient to produce a
complete cure. | now take pleasure
in recommending this remedy to all
sufferers from catarrh. &C. J. Sterers,
Crown City, Ohio.
We don't simply say Hyomei will
cure catarrh, but we say that T. F.
Laurin, the druggist, guarantees it to
cure catarrh, or money back. He does
more-he guarantees it to cure asth-
ma, bronchitis, hay fever, coughs and
colds. A complete Hyomei outfit, in
Guiding inhaler, costs only $100, and
extra bottles, if you afterwards need
one, will cost but 50 cents. Hyomei
is pleasant dry air treatment. You
just breathe it in, and as it passes
over the inAamed membrane, it kills
the germs of catarrh, and allays all
inflammation.

PEACH GROWING.
Some Points on Spraying, Trimming
and Grubbnc For Borers.

Some Points on Spraying, Trimming
and Grubbing For Borers.
Before the peach buds start in the
spring spraying with the bordeaux
or copper sulphate mixture for fungi
must be given; then Immediately aft.
or the petals fall the bordeaux paris
green mixture is used as an insecticide,
Additional benefit Is derived from sue
cessive applications Of the same at In.
tervals of ten days or two weeks.
Peach trees must be grubbed for bor-
ers in the spring and again in the fall,
Trimming is never to be omitted. 1t
involves the sheariEg out of multi
tude Of last years shoots and the cut
ting back one-third or more of all the
remaining growth, aiming ever at
low, open. symmetrical head. After
the trees have arrived at bearing age
the trimming should be done late in
May or early June to facilitate the
formation Of fruit buds due at this
time. Clean cultivation, followed by
the cover crop, as employed the first
season, is practiced ever afterward.
Crops In the Orchard.
While for the first year or two hoed
crops may be raised in the peach or
ehard, they are no advantage to the
trees. Thinning is in order before the
pit develops. Fruits should be left
not closer than eight to ten inches
apart
High, dry ground is selected for a
peach orchard A southern exposure
b liable to hasten the swelling OF
buds In the warm days Of early spring,
only to be blighted by following low
temperature. Consequently a north
ern slope, on which growth is retard-
ed, less frequently proves disappoint-
ing. Trees attacked by incurable dis
eases like yellows or little peach must
promptly be dug up and burned, root
and branch, to prevent further infec-
tion.

lowing varieties In the order of ma
