Magic Power Ascribed
to Chinaman's Picture

On the doors of Chinese houses,
In early summer, are pasted pic
lures of Chang Tao-lin, the first
Taoist pope, riding on a tiger, says
a writer in the New York Times.
Probably there are 50,OO0,0OO such
pictures so displayed and wor-
SHIPPED during the year, for Chang
Is supposed to repress evil spirits
and to ward off calamity and sick
ness in the hot months. On the
fifth day OF the fifth moon"-usu-
ally early in June, when most of
the pictures are pasted up, the chill
dren are dressed In cheap, tigerlike
suits of clothes, to keep off the de-
mons, who fear tigers.
Chang Tao-lin is said to have
been born on Tien Mob San (Heav-
enly-eye mountain) in the year 80
A. d. He was asked to be an Off
cial; but chose rather to mediate
in silence and to cultivate virtue.
He went to live in China's west
ern hills and there was shown, by
a book given to him from above,
how to find the elixir of life, and
from other ancient books how to
ascend into heaven, how to fly and
how to walk among the stars. With
these and other magic powers he
could fight demons, divide noun
tains and seas, and rule the winds.

Italian Language

The modern Italian language is
developed from the Latin. The
earliest definite traces of Italian
speech may be found in document
of Monte Casino, dated 960. Tucan,
and especially Florentine. has been
the classical literary language al
most from the beginning of the ma
tional literature. During the first
half Of the Thirteenth century the
mass of lyrical poetry was produced
by the Sicilian school at Palermo
at the court of the Emperor Fred
erick II. In the second half Of the
century the seat of lyrical poetry
was transferred to Tuscany. The
modern italian literary language,
however, is founded on the Floren-
tine dialect, which was the Ian
guage of Dante.

Old English Expression

A nine-day wonder is something
that holds attention for few days
and then is forgotten. The express
sion is very old in England. 1t was
used by Shakespeare. 1t is thought
to be based on the old proverb,
"Wonder lasts nine days and then
the puppy's eyes are opened" re-
ferring to the fact that dogs are
born blind and their eyes do not
open for about nine days.

Napoleon's Josephine

Josephine was too Indifferent for
a mistress, too volatile for a wife !;
but as the companion of Napoleon
she played her part well. As Mr..
Wilson suggests, there was some
thing tinselly in each. There was
also something enigmatical in each,
so that he often seemed a Caesar,
she often appeared a careless Latin
divinity. She was courageous, gen.

great lady; she was also a sobbing.

president of the American Bar As
sociation, spiked rumor that he
intends to withdraw as a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
United States Senator because his
recent election as president of the

require too much Of his time. Mr..
Marvel, vigorously denying the
story, stated that it is absolutely
without foundation and that he
will be a candidate to the finish.
Several weeks ago while Mr.. Mar
vel was absent from Wilmington,
a rumor was current that he would
quit the senatorial race, but it was
denied at that time by his friends.

The possible transfer OF Kamm has

There are reasons why 1t might be kept

Both of the New York teams can use

He does some things Splendidly and In

played third base as they desired to
have the position played.
Last year he went to Havana to see
Manager McGraw in person In regard
to his contract for 1890. He played
with the Giants last season, but he did
not play perfect game.
Money Main Trouble.

1t is much harder to get lasting

that he would be valuable to the Giants.
