A STRANGE LEGEND.
Origin Of a Curious Custom Observed
by Bulgarian Builders.

Origin of a Curious Custom Observed
by Bulgarian Builders.
Nine master masons who were en-
gagged in building a citadel In the time
of the Voivoid Neagoe found on re-
turning to their work each morning
that the portion of the wall which they
had completed the day before had fall
en- to pieces during the night and was
lying in heap of ruins in the ditch
Manol of Curtea, the head mason, in
formed his comrades one morning that
a voice from heaven had warned him
in his sleep the night before that their
labors would continue TO come to
naught unless they all swore on that
very morning to immune in the struc-
ture the first woman, be it wife, moth
er, daughter or sister, who should ar
rive with the morning meal Of one or
either of them. They all took the oath,
and the last man had hardly been
sworn when Manols own wife appear
ed, carrying her husbands breakfast
The oath was kept, and the woman,
known in the legend as Flora Of the
Fields" was murdered and her blood
and flesh Incorporated with the wall Of
masonry.
A curious practice of the Bulgarian
masons 0he above scene is laid in Bull
garia), which survives to this day, tes-
titles to the vitality Of the legend To
insure the solidity of the house they
build they measure with reed the
shadow Of the first person who passes
after the digging of the foundation
has been completed. When the foun
dalton is commenced this reed is buried
under the first rock, usually the corner
stone.

IRON TONIC FOR TREES.
Plant Nails Among the Roots and I
Vluorous Growth Results.

Plant Nails Among the Roots and q
Vigorous Growth Results.
A dozen large nails planted among
the roots of tree assure the tree of
health, because the vegetable saps
cause the oxidation Of the iron and
the sap carries ferruginous salts
through all the living cells and circu-
Iation vessels.
Not many years ago one Of the sights
Of q certain French cemetery was
tree, half green, half rust colored, lux
uriantly leaved upon both sides and
in flourishing condition. When the tree
died and preparations were made for
an examination of its roots it was al
most impossible to exhume it. When
all the ground around it was loosened
and the roots were exposed it was
found that the tree when sappling
had clasped its young roots around the
haste of an iron baIustrade encircling
a tomb The roots of the tree had run
in and out between the iron bars Of
the fence. Exactly half of the tree
had come In contact with the iron, and
that half put forth growth luxuriant-
~ leaved in rusty brown. The half
that had not touched the iron devel-
oped a growth Of normal coloring.
The tree as a whole was fine speci-
men of healthy vegetable growth, but
the side impregnated by iron far ex-
ceeded the green side in its output of
vigorous LEAKAGE
Sulphate of iron is Of little value
when sprinkled on the leaves of sick
tree, but powdered iron has q marvel
GUS effect when introduced into the
tissues by means Of holes bored in the
trunk. The holes must be filed with
the powder and then corked with
wooden plugs and well puttied over
and around the plugs, so that none Of
the tonic can escape To do It's work
the iron must be carried through the
tree in the circulation Of the sap.-Har-
norSa

A GLIMPSE OF WAR.
The Sensations of a Young French
Soldier at Sedan.

The Sensations of a Young French
Soldier at Sedan.
We could see the lines and lines Of
helmets. A bad sight to see those
helmet spikes.
And / cannot remember when it was
that there crept through our ranks
the feeling that those helmets were
not only In front of us, but in every
direction round about, and that we
were surrounded. suppose it came
from the sound of firing coming from
SO many directions.
1t is at such a time that one feels of
a helplessness. And the noise-did
tell you of the noise? There were sin
gle booms and crashes of volley firing.
and then there would be just one great
roaring, one great laundering, that
deafened you and In which you could
not tell one sound from another.
There was smoke, smoke, every
where, and the ground would tremble
when the cavalry made charge.
would tell you all that l remem-
Der of most interest. But is 1t inter
esting to tell you that shells burst and
that our ranks thinned and closed up
and that / felt more and more that
we were to be beaten?
would have wept, but had too
much to do In firing and In watching
the lines Of helmets.
1t is that soldier gets full Of an
nxPifpdnpsS Yo1 do things and Won
scarcely know that you do them or
why.
1t was early that day that my com
rade was killed And he jumped up
twice-so, SO! And he fell fat on his
face. l turned him over, and my cap
tain said: mo time for that. You are
a young soldier or you would know
there is no time for that. Robert
Ehackleton in Harper's Weekly.

Whistler Tanned a Russian.

When James MacNeill Whistler went
to Venice to make those fourteen IA
nous etchings of his he became SO
intoxicated with its beauty that he
made seventy pastels first, leaving his
etchings till the last few days These
pastels made a tremendous sensation
All the art world of Venice was car
ried away with enthusiasm excepting
a Russian painter, who declared them
tricks. betting a basketful Of cham
payne he could paint six not to be
distinguished from them. Mr.. Whistler
amiably gave some of his paper and
six pastels, which were finally mixed
up with those by the Russian and sub
mitted to jury which had seen none
OF them. Mr.. Whistler's pastels We're
unmistakable and the Russian lost.
A few days later the two met on the
Rialto, and Mr.. Whistler laughed a
little about the bet The Russian was
furious. you forget, sir" he said,
shat I'm Russian, and If you scratch
one you find a Tartar underneath. .
"Oh, no; you have 1t wrong" said Mr.
Whistler; "you have it wrong! |

The Song In

1t Brought Joy to the Heart

By AGNES q. BRooAN

When Miss Phyllis was left alone
In the old house which had been her
home since infancy she felt very
much like bewildered little child
who discovers suddenly that it Is lost,
knowing not which way to turn. In
fact, her whole life had been devoted
In giving SO much thought to others
that Miss Phyllis own affairs had been
sadly neglected. She sighed YEARLY
as she rose to greet her sister-in-law.
$50 the furniture is to be auctioned

Phyllis nodded dumbly.
Clarissa, for that was her name,
looked around with a supercilious

Mhu faa1 Was chnssn-

In 1881 so called prophecy of Moth
er Shipton's was in every ones mouth:
The world then to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eignty-one.
A travelling tailor denied inspiration
to this prognostic, nor, as now appears,
was it remarkable for accuracy. But
he went further. He demonstrated in
the dust Of the road why that exact
date was chosen. Not only was it
cabahstic, multiple of nine, etc., but
1t was the only date available to Moth
er Shipton which in Arabic numerals
was the same backward, forward and
upside down. Eleven hundred and
eleven was past. and not till 1881 would
the coincidence recur. The next Moth
er Shipton will select S008, which Is
not tomorrow or next day.-London
