MOUNTAIN MYTHS. The Irobl)I Canne of Feeling; Bora ot Ignorance and Superstition. Turning1 back to the heathen' and the savago, we see at once whence comes tho old feeling: about mountains, a feel ing born of dark shadows that disap pear in the light of knowledge. We hare all heard of tho Brocken and ita witch revels, made famous by the peniua of Goethe. The Harta mount ains are so rich in superstitious le gends, not that they have more impos ing features of their own than many other less celebrated mountains, but because, standing out by themselves on the great northern flats of Ger many, they powerfully impressed the imagination of the lowlanders around, and because, this district being one of the last converted to Christianity, they long continued to be a retreat for pagan rites, and thus gained their jrrim reputation as a seat of witch craft. Here, as is well known, ap pears the Specter of the Brocken, when, at sunrise or sunset, the amazed traveler happens to see a magnificent reflection of his own figure thrown upon the ,sheet of mist vailing some opposite peak. The most extraordi nary of all such appearances seem to bo that observed at Adam's Peak, in Ceylon; as described for us through a recent; expedition undertaken by the Hon. Ralph Abercromby and two other men of science: This mountain rises in an abrupt cone, 1,000 feet above the chain and 7,652 feet above sea level. It lies near an elbow in the main range, while a gorge runs up from the northeast just to the. west of it. When, then, the northeast monsoon blows morning mist up the valley, light wreaths of condensed vapor pass to the west of the peak, and catch the shadows at sunrise. The party reached the sum mit on the night of February 21, 1886 amid rain, mist and wind. Early next morning the foreglow began to bright en the under surface of the stratus " cloud with orange; patches of white mist filled the hollows, and sometimes masses of mistr coming from the val- ley, enveloped them with condensed vaporx. At 6:30 a. m. the sun peeped through a chink in the clouds, and they " saw the pointed shadow of the peak lying on the misty land. Soon a complete pris matic circle of about eight degrees diameter, with the red outside, formed round the summit of the peak as a center. The meteorologist, knowing that with this bow there ought to be spectral figures, waved his hand about. and immediately found giant shadowy arms moving in the center of the rain bow. Two dark rays shot upward and outward on either side of the cen ter, and appeared to be nearly in a prolongation of the lines of the slope of the peak below. Three times with in a quarter of an hour this appearance was repeated as the mist drove up in proper quantities, and fitful glimpses of the sun gave sufficient light to" throw..:- a shadow and form a circular- rainbow. In every case the shadow and bow were seen in front of land, and never against the sky. When the sun rose pretty high, the.r characteristic peculiarity of the shadow was beautifully observed. As a thin wreath of condensed vapor came up the valley at a proper height, a resplendent bow formed round the shadow, while both seemed to stand up majestically in front of the observ ers, and then the shadow fell down upon the land, and the bow vanished as the mist passed on. About an hour later the sun again shone out, but much higher and stronger than before. and then they saw a brighter and sharper shadow of the peak, this time encircled by a double bow; and their own spectral arms were again visible. The shadow, the double bow, and slant o forms combined to make this phenomenon the most marked in the whole world. Ascott B. Mope. DOING ONE'S DUT i The Highest PrivUeg-e nd Trsest KnJ or- ment of a Trne Man. Most well-disposed persons think their time ought to be fairly divided between duties and pleasures, and their chief trouble of conscience is as to the proper proportion of time to be assigned in the one direction or in the other. When a plain duty presses them, they are ready to attend to it; but when they have the privilege of enjoying themselves, they want to leave all thought of duty out of their minds. Yet as a matter of simple truth, one's greatest pleasure ought to-be found in duty-doing; and one s pleasure ought never to be sought, or one's enjoyment to be found, outside of the plain path of duty. There is, in fact, no truer enjoyment to a true man thah' in the erformance of an unmistakable duty; and there is no privilege so high as that of attending at the moment to that which ought to be attended to just then. Recreation, relaxation and diversioa may be the supreme duty of the hour, and when this is the case they ought to be at tended to accordingly. And again the straining of every nerve in the doing oT the enduring for some earthly loved one, or for the One who is to be loved above all, ought to be a pleasure be cause it is a duty. He who does not enjoy duty-doing does not know how to enjoy himself in any way, or how to do dutv under any circumstances. S. S. HUMOROUS.

GOOD QUEEN BESS. tier Childhood, Girlhood and Wonderful : Career on the Throne. Queen Elizabeth was born in En gland, and simultaneously in 1533. Her father was Henry VIII., who was a professional widower. Her mother was Anna Boleyn, and, like most of Henry's wives, she met her death ac cidentally. She Was executed when Elizabeth was only three years old. Henry, onee more in the honeymoon of his widowerhood, cared but little for the orphan. Alas! how orphan but I forbear. Little is known about the infancy of the young Princess. Doubtle&s she went through the ills peculiar to all children. In all probability she had trouble hatching teeth, and her gums swelled up and refused to declare their Intentions, and had to be lanced to briag things to a focus. As she grew older Elizabeth ob tained a good education in Latin, Greek, French and Italian, and she graduated with honors. It takes a terribly homely girl usually to get away with the prizos. Pretty girls do not care for that sort of competition. They are after the male prizes. Elizabeth, however, as not that sort of a girl. She was so bashful and modest that she positively refused to work on improper fractions. The historian tells us that Elizabeth accompanied her sister Mary to Lon don, and was arrested and sent to the Tower. Perhaps when she went to London it was on the piano that she accompanied her sister, for we learn that Elizabeth was quite musical. Her music was not always in correct time, for while she played in the Tower she was always behind a few bars. Her im prisonment in the Tower made her morose, as was shown by her flying into a towering rage at frequent inter vals when she got out. At the age of twenty-five she took her seat on the throne, and then her troubles began. Pope Paul refused to acknowledge her, as did Pius V. Pope Sixtus even went so far as to treat her like a poetical contribution that goes into the editorial waste-basket. The result was an excommunication. Queen Bess, as she was familiarly called, rather liked such treatment after she had once got used to it. The King of France also snubbed her, and Philip of Spain, whom she had jilted, sent out his Invincible Armada. His original intention was to take possession of England and run it according to his own notions, but he was induced to modify his plans. It was a bad year for Invincible Armadas. Some of the Spanish ships have not jot back to Spain yet. Philip is reported as feeling worse, than the small boy who has just tried to smoke his first cigar. If the Spaniards had actually landed they would have had to fight Queen Bess, for she reviewed the troops in a suit of armor an old-fashiond knight dress, so to speak. She rode a white horse and had red hair, thus making a fine appearance. Mary Queen of Scots wanted to sit on the throne for a little while, but Elizabeth refused to get up. Elizabe th and Mary were continually quarreling. but at last the former got ahead of Mary, and there was no more trouble. Elizabeth never married. Her po sition was similar to that of a female witness in a Texas court, who declared that she was not a widow, neither was she single. "What are you then?" asked the judge. "I I am an engaged woman," was the reply. Queen Elizabeth was an engaged woman. While engaged in her official duties she was also engaged to the Duke of Leicester, Essex, et al., but she never married. Quite a number of distinguished noblemen were known to have, at one time or another, pearl powder on their coat collars when they emerged from the royal palace, but that was as far as they ever got Elizabeth was quite vain of the good looks she didn't have. She never an swered a call through the telephone without smoothing down her hair, working up a smile, and trying to make a good impression on the trans mitter. She also had a bad temper, and was one of "the red-headedest and green-eydest Queens," as it were, that ever sat on the throne of England; but she had pluck and good sense, and made a nice Queen for those days. She died March 24, 1603. Texas Sil ings. m w What He Was Arrested For. "Where were you yesterday?" asked a traveling man of one of the clerks. "I was very unfortunate yesterday," was the reply.

"But what charge did he place against you ?" " I couldn't say exactly, but as near as I could make out I was arrested for a salt." Then the traveling nan went "out and didn't show up for an hour.

The total number of theological students in the Congregational semi naries for the firs time exceeds 400, rising to 420, of whom 92 are seniors, 101 middlers, 114 juniors, and 113 special.

Andover 38, Oberlin 85, Yale 101, and Chicago lia Here is a secret for women troubled with obesity which we anticipate will carry some weight; namely, that bodies exposed constantly to the sun "gain such activity of the blood forces as to prevent any excessive forming of adipose matter." It must not, however, be supposed that, on the other hand, plenty of sunlight is conductive to leanness. Not so, for the really health ful condition is neither fat nor lean, but shapely and plump, and the sun's rays quicken the nutrient functions, produc ing a beautiful roundness of form; in deed, its constant action upon a human body is like the effect upon a plant, vitalizing and strengthening to every part. vv.

The Kind of Young: Men Who Are Bound to Succeed In Life. The principlea of business that can be taught are no many; those that can be learned are almost without en J. A clerk very soon reaches the place where he has been told all that is act ually necessary that he should be told about the details of the business; h falls into the ruts of the house, under stands the run of trade, the variations in people and prices, and how to get in and send out goods to the best advant age. But all these details, while they are necessary to be learned, only fit the young man for that particular place, and if he is ambitious he is always looking to something better. Others have been teaching him; it is necessary that he should now teach himself. A clerk who remains in one position all his life advertises himself lacking in one of two things ability or ambi tion. There undoubtedly are instances where a clerk is kept so constantly and continually employed at one task that he has no opportunity to learn any thing but his present work, but such instances are very rare. As a general rule, every clerk has some time at hia disposal, either at intervals during the day or in the evening. These are hours that he can not afford to throw away. Not that it follows that he must deprive himself of every pleasure, or must desert every form of entertain ment. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and dullness does not lead to success. But let him have his entertainment as recreation, and not seal it as a business, and then he will still have many valuable hours for self improvement. One of the prosperous merchants of this city began life as an errand boy in an office. Most boys, and most men, too, for that matter, would Bay that his position offered but little hope of advancement. The men in the office were busily employed, and saw or spoke to tho boy only when they bad an errand or order for him. He had no accounts to keep, no writing to do. But the desire being there, the oppor- .

He was so ready and willing to do any and every thing asked of him that the men sent him on many private er rands of their own, and in return they could not but answer his questions when he asked about the books or the business. A chance offered where he might do a little writing, and he did the work before any one there knew that he could. There was Bome sur prise at the good hand he wrote, still more at the good form of his matter, and then he told them how he had learned. He was given a place at the desk, while another boy ran the er rand, and before he had ever thought of studying to be book-keeper he was one, and a good one. On the Hood to Etches. PRAISE YOUR WIFE." A Woman Telia Hasband How They Can Malta Themselves Agreeable. Praise your wife, man! For pity's sake give her a little encouragement it won't hurt her. She has made your home comfortable, your hearth bright your food agreeable. For pity's sake, tell her you thank her, if nothing more. She doesn't expect it; it will make her eyes open wider than they have for these last ten years. But it will do her good, for all that and you, too. There are many women to-day thirsting for a word of praise the language of en couragement Through summer's heat and winter's toil they have drudged un complainingly, and so accustomed have their fathers, brothers and husbands be come to their labors that they look for and upon them as they do to the daily rising of the sun and its daily going down. You know that if the floor is clean, labor has been performed to make it so. You know that if you can take from your drawer a clean shirt when ever you want it, somebody's fingers have toiled. Every thing that please the eye and the sense has been pro duced by work, thought, care and ef forts bodily and mental. Many men appreciate these things, and feel grati tude for the numberless attentions bestowed upon them in sickness and health. Whv don't they come out with a hearty "why, how pleasant you make things look, wife," or "I am obliged to you for taking so much pains?" They thank the tailor for a good fit; they thank the man in the horse-car who gives them a seat; they thank the lady who moves along in the concert-room; in short they thank every body and every thing out-of-doors; and come home, tip their chairs back and their heels up, pull out the newspaper, scold if the fire has got down, or, if every thing is just right, shut their mouths with a smack of satisfaction, but never say "I thank you." I tell you what, men, young and old, if you did but show an ordinary civility toward your wives; if you gave one hundred and sixteenth part of the compliments you almost choked them with before they were married; if you would stop the badinage about whom you are going to have when number one ia dead (such things wives may laugh at, but they sink deep sometimes;) if you would cease to speak of their faults, however banteringly, before others fewer women would seek for ether sources of happiness. Praise your wife, then, for all her good qualities and you may rest assured that her deficiencies are oo greater than your own. Ladies' Home Visitor. Bunco Canvasser "I can't oo mistaken!

"Just keep your eye on that fellow." The speaker had just returned from a trip across the Pacifie, and his room was filled with curiosities from every part of Southern Asia and India. From a small cage he h;id taken a brilltant hued lizard. He balanced it upon his hand and with a quick motion tossed it into the air. Now a horned toad or one of the common lizards of our western slope would have gone up like a rocket and came down like a rock, but the lizard was not of this kind. It rose, then it seemed to grow larger, to swell out like a balloon, and Instead of dropping it sailed away at an angle and deftly alighted on the top of a plush-covered chair, where it clung, looking about in amazement "Yes," continued the owner, taking the pet aga n, "it is a flying lizard a wingless flyvr at that, one of the most remarkable of the lizard tribe." Tossing the little creature up again, it seemed to tpread, and again flew away, buoyvl by some mysterious power. "I got ny pet In the island of Borneo," said the naturalist "It was my intention merely to collect skins, but one day I was walking along through the forest, when I saw what I took for a brilliantly colored butter fly coming along. As I drew nearer I saw that it was a lizard, and, standing perfectly still, it shot by mo. Having a switch in my hand I struck it down, and so secured it, and carried it tt camp in fiiy pocket Finding that it would live I kept it, and soon saw that It was quite a pet, and if I can get it to England, shall deposit it in the Lon don Zoological Gardens." On the wing the bracovolans, a this little creature is called, resembles a richly tinted insect, but when at rest It ean be compared slo a lizard, with extraordinary protuberances on eithor side. These are tbe so-called wings, which are formed of a cutaneous growth upon either side, wing-like In shape and supported by a series of false ribs. In color the lizard is blue and gray, with tints of various kinds and shades. The tall is long, slender, and beneath the head depends a double pouch, giving tho animr.l rather a ferocious appearance. The wing-like organs are used mere ly as parachutes. When the lizard leaps into tho air the upward current brings them out and enables the pos sessor to soar away at an angle to a greater or less distance, according to the height from which the leap was made. The lizard can change its direction while in the air to either side; hence a casual observer might readily believe them to move the so-called wings and actal!y fly; but soaring ia the limit of their powers, and in this way they travel long distances several hundred yards from tree to tree. Sara Fiart eisco Chronicle. A RARE CURIOSITY. Remarkable Specimen of Coral From the Philippine Inland. Judge E. W. Knott, deputy superin tendent of the State Insurance Depart ment received recently from Alexander R. Webb. United States Consul at Ma nila, Philippine Islands, a curiosity that is exceedingly rare; a coral for mation found only in the Philippine Archipelago, and Is known to the n ac tives as "flower baskets," though why such an appellation should be con ferred on it is not quite clear. It is quite different from tiny coral that has ever been seen by those who have been fortunate enough to view the speci men which the Judge values so highly. The specimen Is conical in shape, hav ing a base of nearly two inches in di ameter and rises to a height of about eight inches, growing smaller towards its top, where It ends in a tolerablj sharp poiot. The base was formed on a smooth ledge of rock, and the archi tects of its construction had begun by laying cross sections of a formation re sembling finest spun glass. These are laid very carefully and evenly across both ways, and are seemingly inter laced and plaited with similar forma tionsthey could hardly be called fibers. running from top to bottom of this novel lilllputlan castle. The work rises in most beautiful shppe. growing gradually smaller, until within about three inches of the apex, when evi dently the builders found on their hands more of the longitudinal laces than were needed in their work, and they were dropped out M the work progressed, and stand about the toy, forming a sort of tuft around the whole. These lacings extend aboat one inch above the top, and contrary to usual formation of coral, they are pliable and when bent assume art upright position on being released. It would be impossible for ma chine work or the work of human hands to keep tip the symmetry better than these minute animalculaj have done. The work resembles the fines! lace, the cross bars fashioned as beau tifully as possible. In looking through the cross bars one can see the remains of some small marine animal, probably a crawfish, as a tiny claw or feeler, similar to the ones such animals are adorned with, is plainly discernible. The coral is a pure white and forms a most beautiful ornament, not a spot or blemish on any portion of it Philadelphia aunt (severely) "As I glanced into the parlor last evening I saw you with a young man s arm around you."

James Payn, the present well known novelist, it is said, has turned out as the product of his pen in thirty years over 100 volumes, mainly fiction. but embracing some other topics. Goorge Stovin Venables, a dis tinguished London lawyer, died recent ly. He was the original of Thackeray's Warrington in "Pendennls." He leaves an estate of $750, 000, and among the be quosta is a legacy of $160 annually to his washerwoman. Margaret Dolan, the author of "John Ward, Preacher," is an Ameri can lady about-thirty years of age. She was born In Pittsburgh, and Is the wife of a Boston gentleman. Her first appearance as an author was in 1881, when she contributed a few poems to the leading magazines. Countess Tolstoi, wife of the Rus sian novelist and reformer, does not sympathize with her husband's ex treme religious views; and it is said threatens, if he attempts to carry out his plans of selling all that he has and giving the money to the poor, to ask for an official investigation of his sanity. It seems that the poets are fond of making fine speeches to Mary Anderson. When G.car Wilde was in this country he presented Miss Anderson with a volume of poems in which he had written: "From a Poet to a Poem." And now Tennyson has written several new pieces for her and calls her a "perfect poem." Miss J. E, Harrison ia reckoned one of the most profound archajalo- gists in England.
