ORIGIN OF CINDERELLA.
The Dainty Footed DamsoI Who Be-

II has been said. Not one girl in a
thousand knows the origin of the friend
of her childhood, Cinderella
Her real name was Rhodope, and
she was beautiful Egyptian maiden
who lived go years before the com
mon era and during the reign of one
of the twelve kings Of Egypt One
day Rhodope ventured to battle In a
clear stream near her home, leaving
her shoes, which were very small, ~

above. caught sight OF the little san
dals and, mistaking them for tooth

beauty and dalntiness Immediately at
tracted the royal eye, and the king de-
termined to know the wearer OF so
cunning a shoe.
Messengers were sent through all
the kingdom In search OF the foot that
II would fit. Rhodope was finally dis
covered, the shoe placed on her foot,
and she was carried in triumph TO
Memphis. where she became the queen
OF King Psammeticus.

BABIES. UNDER THE SPOUT.
In simIa They Water the Youngsters
to Keep Them Quiet.


The native mothers In the neighbor-
hood OF Simla, in India. have curious
practice of putting their babies heads
under II spout of water in order to
send the youngsters to sleep and to
Keep them quiet. When a new cart
road was made some years ago in the
locality mentioned there was halting
place, where rows of such children
might be seen in a grove close to the
road
The water of hill spring was so
adjusted as 10 furnish q series of lit
lie spouts, each about the thickness
Of ones little finger. Opposite each
spout was kind Of earth pillow and
Il little trough to carry away the wa
ter. Each child was so laid that one
Of the water spouts played on the top
of its head. and the water then ran off
Into the trough.
An English official testifies that the
process WAS most successful. There
never We're such quiet and untrouble-
some babies as those under the spouts.
The people were unanimous In assert
ing that the water did the children no
harm, but that, on the contrary, it
benefited and invigorated them In
fact, they seemed to think that child
not subjected to this process must
grow up soft Drained and of little ac-

down the perpetrator OF the robbery.
Requisition was made on the peni-
tentiary bloodhounds and Clyde Davis
brought the dogs up from the prison
and placed them on the trail. They
proved an effective agency in uncos =
ering the crime and Eric George, a
colored boy about eighteen or nine
teen years of age. was taken into
custody. and, after a brief sweating.
confessed to the commission of the
deed George was found in bed at
his home at 40S Rudd avenue and
taken to the Jail and locked up. En-
trance TO the club building was sf-
fected by throwing a rock through
one of the windows on the east side
Of the structure in such a way rs
to enable the burglar to reach the
fastening and raise the lower SASH /;
making access an easy proposition.
The excellent work of the blood
hounds greatly assisted the officers
and were the direct cause of the

Lincoln Park: about $4,000 of which
will be used to rebuild the old pa-t
