A story which wvors strongly of the
marvelous come to u from the In
terior of Asiatic Turkey. Three
Musaulmea travelers were lately
journeviiig to a point near Pimlank.
On arriving nt a spot called Alil.it. on
the Lake of Van, one of them ap
proached the water and began hi
morning ablutions. As he was dipping
his feet for the last time he suddenly
altered a scream and Itifortned hi
companion that he was being dragged
Into the lake by some uiiaeen murine
monster that wa holding to tils leg.
His friend rn-lied to hi assistance,
and taking him by the hand and arm
succeeded in bringing him ashore, but
what wa their surprise to see the mon
ster also emerge from the water firmly
attached to the man's leg by Its teeth.
It w a hort'id-liMiklug creature, with
Ilia leg and body of sit alligator aud
tlie head of. an alligator and the rest
less, liilles eye of a seriicnt. lie-
twecn It fore and hind leg, on either
ide, were large, ribbed, leathery-look-lug

uot barbed like that in the picture of
the typical dragon.- With the exeep

the tip of tire w ing", feet and tail, the
creature w as a beautiful creamy white
and Its akin soft a velvet. Knives,
dick, stones, and everything else
which were brought to bear Uin the
monster proved unavailing, aud at last
the liigeiilmis travelers bethought them
selves of a heroic measure. They built
a eood fire and pulled the neck aud
belly of the beast, bird, or (Un across
it, taking good care net to burn me leg
of their comrade In the operation. Aflei
thlie the aeorching bent aroused thf
animal from its torpor. It began to

Still holding the man bv the leg. Aftei

mighty splash, butying itself and victim

A Wonderful Typewriting Machine.
Wler's erytograpb is a small type
writing apparutus lending iuelf admir
ibly to the purposes of secret corres
pondence. The apparatus is only about
twelve inches long by three Inches wide
and one and a half Inches high. It
consist of a ty-carrler for ordinary
letters and figures, which can be placed
in any order that may bo desired.
There Is also a moveable index plate on
whlob tho tetter and figures appear in
the order in w hich they are placed In
the type-carrier. On a small tablet in
the center of the machine are four
white sec and a central black one,
and opposite these specks is a movable
pointer. Hy setting the pointer to the
black space the machine can be used ss
a simple, ordinary typewriter. To
work it the index pluta is shifted to the
right or left until each required letter
is in front of a pointer connected with
the printing key. llv adjusting tha
plate and pressing the' key an ordinary
type-writieu letter can "be preparetL
for writing the movable pointer is set,
say, to the tint white space, reading
from left to right. A message can then
be wrilteu In an unintelligible cipher,
which can be varied iu its details as
may le previously agreed iiki by tho
panics corresponding. If so agreed
the recipient of the message sets his
movable iHiinler to the fourth white
space and then reproduces, as it would

on removing the printed paer from
the machine ho will lind that be has

Misquotations.
It Is a peculiar faculty of human
memory to misquote proverbs and poe
try, and almost invariably to place the
credit where it does not belong.
Nine men out of ten think that "Th
Lord tempers the wind to the shorn
lamb" is from the Bible, whereas Law
rence Sterne Is tho author. 'Touring
oil upon the troubled waters" is also
ascribed to the sacred volume, whereas
It 1 not there; In fact no one knows its
origin.
Again, we hear peoplo say: "The
proof of the pudding is iu chewing t' e
string." This is snaut nouseuse, as
the proverb says:
"The proof of th podding is in the
eating thereof, aud not lu chewing tho
string."
Nothing is more common than to
hear:
A man convinced strains! his will
la ol the same opinion sillL.
This Is an impossible condition of the
mind for no one can be convinced of
an opinion and at the same time hold
an opposite one. What Butler wrote
was emltiontly sensible.
He that compile atmlimt his will
Is of. tils osra oulnlou aUU.
A famous passage of Scripture Is
often misquoted thus: "lie that is
without sin among you, let him cast the
first stono." It should be:' "Let him
first cast a stone."
Sometimes we are told: 'Behold
how groat a fire a little matter kind
leth, whereas St. James said: "Be
hold how great a nintter a little tire
klndleth," which is quite a different
thing.
We also hear that "a miss is as good
as a mile," which Is not as sensible or
forcible as the true proverb: "A miss
of an inch is as good as a mile."
"Look before you leap" should bo:
"And look before you ere you leap."
Pope is gonorally credited with hav
iug written:
Immodest word, admit of no defense,
For want of tleovnoy is want of souse,
though it would puzzle any one to find
the verses In his writings. They were
written by tho Karl of Uoscominon.who
died before Pope was born.
Franklin said! "Honesty is tho best
policy," but the maxim is of Spanish
origin, and may bo found iu "Don
Quixote."
A Cutting and Shocking Machine.
Mr. Taylor Hoggs of Ross County
has invented a machine that will do
what uo othor mauliino ever invented
can do cut and shock corn successful
ly and do it qtilokly, surclv, and econ
omically. In a test made on heavy
land two horses pulM it easily. Tho
Boggs mauliino "lays the corn buck
against a powerful sicklobur, where it
is out and then laid back upon a tab)'
where it remains until enough corn to
make a shock has accumulated, The
shocks are tightly compressed and do
posited on the ground, standing as
erect as an Indian. " Vhillicothe (0.)
