Old Man of the Mountain.

The title "Old Man of the Mountain
was first applied to Hassan Ben Sab
bal. who founded Il formidable dynas-
ty in Syria 4. ID. 1000. He was the
prince or chief of the sect Of the Mo-
hammedans. Having been banished
from his country, he took up his abode
In Mount Lebanon and gathered round
him band Of followers, who soon be-
came the terror alike of Christians,
Jews and Turks. They paid the most
implicit obedience to his commands
and believed that if they SACRIFICED
their lives for his sake they would be
rewarded with The highest joys OF
paradise. For 200 years these "assas-
sins" rs they called themselves, con-
tinued to be the terror Of the country.
Whenever their chief, the "Old Man
of the Mountain" considered himself
injured he dispatched some of his as
sassins secretly 10 murder the aggres.
sor. This is The origin Of our use or The
word assassin for Il secret murderer

Serpcnts and Music.

Barnard concludes from his personal
observation Of cobras i'll Ccylon, says
the Scientific American, that the ser
pcnt's traditional love for music is 4
pure fable and that the only effect OF
music is 10 arouse the reptiles curioS-
ity, which is excited by any loud anu
acute sound. The cobra protrlldes its
head from It's burrow alike Oh hearing
the snake charmcr'S flute, the rafting
Of Il chain or the sounds made by
bea ting The ground with switch. II
appears to perceive only sounds OF
high pitch, for it pays 10 attention To
the low notes Of the flute or the beat
ing of the drum. Barnard also con-
firmed in Ccylon the results OF obser-
vations made in the London geological
garden on the supposed power OF fas-
cnation cxcrtcd' by serpcnts upon
birds. and he concludes that this pow
er Of fascination is also purely mag
mary.

ThA Chanoe of a Name.

How family names change in the
course Of many years is illustrated By
the conversion of "Botevile' into
"Thynne" An English deed bearing
date in the closing days OF the fifteenth
century shows three brothers then
flourishing-John Boteyile Of Botcvile
and Thomas and William Botev1lc.
The trio are distinguished from all 9th
er Rotevies by the explanation "of the
Inne," or family residence, the title TO
which had come to their joint posses

possibilities of the future.

is A HUMAN MAGNET
No Watch Runs More Than Two Days
on Indiana Man.

Oxford, Ind, Dec. 2S.-Thomas
Carr, Jr., a farmer, is known as the
human magnet who stops watches.
This popularity of Carr's tempera-
ment developed about a year ago
when a watch he had been carrying
suddenly stopped. 1t was taken to a
jeweler. Before the examination the
watch was running again. In two
hours it had stopped again. Carr is
full-chested 20O-pound man, pos
sesses a head of curly hair and in
other ways impresses the observer as
man of magnetism and full-bodied
vitality In the last year Carr has
owned 10 other watches, all with the
same result, two days being the long
est any of them has run for him.
