MOTHER SYMPTOMS PROPHECY
Mother Shipton was a reputed
English prophecies Of the time OF
Henry VIII. The statements con-
csrning her personal history are
conflicting and of slight value. 1t
is believed that she was a purely
fictitious person whose name was
made the vehicle of many supposed
prophecies.
She is first heard of through the
publication of tract, in 1641, known
as the prophecies of Mother Ship
ton.' Many pamphlets purporting
to be collections of her prophecies
appeared, most, If not all, believed
to be pure inventions. Charles
Hindley, in 1862, reprinted an earlier
so-called life of Mother Shipton, in
serting the doggerel quoted below
Ten years later Hind1ey acknowl-
edged that the verses were hoax.
The poem follows:
Carriages without horses shall so.
And accidents fill the world with
woe;
Primrose Hill in London shall be,
And in the centre of a bishops see.
Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
Through hills men shall ride,
And no ass or horse be by their side.
A great man shall come and go!
Iron in the water shall float
AS easy as q wooden boat;
Gold shall be found, and found
In q land that's not now known;
Fire and water shall moro wonders
do;
England shall at last admit a Jew;
The Jew that was held in scorn,
Shall of Christian be born, and
born.
A house of glass shall como to pass,
In England; but alas!
War will follow with the work
In the land OF pagan ana Turk;
And state and state in fierce strife
Will seek each others life.
But when the North shall divide
the South,
And eagle shGi. build IN the Hens
mouth,
Taxes for blood and for war
Will come to every door.
Three times three shall lovely
France
Be led to play a bloody dance
Before her people shall be free,
Three tyrant rulers she shall see.
The British olive next shall twine
In marriage with the German vine.
All Bngland's sons shall plow the
land,
Shall be seen book in hand,
Learning shall so ebb and flow,
The poor shall most wisdom know.
The world then to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty
one.

THE sANDMAN's HOUSE.

A very small boy, with q large.
hard Dutch name, which, as you
and could not possibly pronounce
it, we will call Hans, lived in a
quaint old Dutch village. For any
boy who wears his hair .girl
fashion" and such bloomery pants,
with room for miles of pockets, and
clattery wooden shoes, should be
called Hans, and Hans he shall be.
His mother had to work very hard
all day In the tulip beds, while Hans
and their little donkey peddled milk
in the city. So when night came
she was very tired and hardly had
strength enough to take or her
seventeen petticoats.
Ono night when Hans returned,
fed the donkey and polished the big
shiny milk cans, he found his
mother quit sick. For q whole
week, night and day, she could not
close her eyes to sleep. The fussy
old Dutch doctor came and said
she must sleep. but his biggest pill
and his very nestiest medicine failed
to help.
1t was a very worried little boy
who fioated down the canal with a

mother was the very best one in the
world, as mothers have way OF be-
ing, and there seemed to be moth
ing he could do to help. "If
could only see the Sandman"
thought Hans, perhaps he would
give me sand enough to put her to
Sleep"
When he started back from the
city his thoughts were anywhere
but in the direction of the boat.
Suddenly he looked up and the
canal seemed strange. Not a house
nor mill was In sight. and far ahead
was a dim gray shore line. Hans
could not imagine where he was, SO
rowed very hard and soon reached

of a pea, or about three or four

use is the white of egg beaten to a
