The success of the Independent So

Demi. Gods Of OLD Rome.

Castor and Pollux, also called the
Dioscuri, were heroes or demi-gods Of
early Grecian mythology. They were
brothers and said to be the sons Of
Zeus, who in Grecian mythology cor
responds to Jupiter in the mythology
Of Rome. Castor was famous for his
skill in tanning and managing horses,
and Pollux for his skill In boxing. A.
though they were buried, says the Gre
clan poet Homer, yet they came to life
every other day and enjoyed divine
honors. The Worship of Castor and
'Pollux was introduced at Rome at an
early time. They were held to have
aided the Romans in battle with the
Latins. or natives Of Italy, and a
temple was erected to them in the
forum. After these two mythical he
roes was the ship named in which St.
Paul completed his memorable voyage
to Italy, in order that he might appeal
to Caesar for justice and protection.

Jason a Legendary Character.

Jason was the leader of the Argo-
nautic expedition in Greek legend. The
equivalent, of his name in Greek Is
the healer or atoner. Jason was tu-
tored and brought up under Chiron. a
Greek myth renowned for his wisdom
and skill in medicine, hunting. music
and prophecy. Jason's greatest ex-
plot was his expedition with the Ar
gonauts in quest of the Golden Fleece.
Jason secured this by the aid of Me-
dea, a sorceress who fell in love with
him. She protected him from the bulls
breathing fire and hoofed with brass
which he was obliged, in order to OBJ
tain the fleece, to yoke to the pillow.
She also protected him from the
armed men who sprang up from the
dragons teeth which he was required
to SOW in the fields. Medea fed with
jason and the fleece and married him.
Ten years later Jason abandoned her
after she had murdered Creusa, whom
Jason had determined to marry.
