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.

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

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.

ROOM AT THE TOP.
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.

letter that passed through his hands,
when he found an envelope unusually
well addressed he saved it from the

he began to try to imitate it
It was his duty to copy the letters in
the copying press, and he read and re
membered the phraseology and the
style until he could have sat down and,
with the topic given him, have dressed
it up in the same form.
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

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'

Antipodean Lizard.
"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

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

A RARE CURIOSITY.
Remarkable Specimen of Coral From the

Judge E. W. Knott, deputy superin

that is exceedingly rare; a coral for

such an appellation should be con

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
