CRUDE ASTRONOMY.
Ituaslan Peaiante Have Queer Ideas of
8un Moon and Star.
Wo have It on no teas nuthorlfy tbnn
that of Caesar that tiio Druids taught
their disciples tunny thlnga About the
form nnd dlraounlous or the earth and
the heavens tand a body of doctrines
on the motions of the stars. Even
death Itself wna to thctn an natronom-
Ical fact They held that from tills
life wo pass to tako up our abodo In
ene of the heavenly bodies. That they
firmly held to this belief Is manifest
from tho fact that they had no ob-
jection to lending money to be repaid
In the other World. They looked upon
tho passage of Ufo In much tho sixmo
way as we regard a Journey across tho
Atlantic.
There Is no doubt that oven now In
various parts of Europe tho vfows of
tho peasantry ns to tho heavenly bod-
ies nnd celestial phenomena liavo
changed but little from those of their
predecessors of a thousand years ago
A Russian contributed to tho bulletin
of the Astronomical Society of Franco
has given tho results of his observa-
tions on this point extending over ten
years- Tho astronomical lore of tho
Russian peasantry of tho north center
and Bouth is limited to a knowlcdgo
of the existence of tho sun nnd moon
of thrco constellations of tho Milky
way of ono planet of comets shoot-'
ing stars and meteors. Tho sun Is to
all a mysterious and beneficent being.
Tho moon covered' with lco and
snow is ever in flight from Its brother
thQ sun. Upon its disk may bo seen
unmistakably portrayed the murder of
Abel by Cain tho latter being dono
to death by a pitchfork. Chill are
tho lunar rays and woe bctldo tho
ohild of man who shall sleep unpro-
tected therefrom! From tho horns
of tho crescent much useful Informa-
tion n3 to tho forthcoming weather
may bo derived by the learned In such
things.
Tho stars aro lamps or candles
which are lit and extinguished dally
by tho Eternal. A shooting istar Is
tho soul of ono who has just passed
away. Comqts are heralds of war and
fafnlne. No Russian ever forgets that
the Napoleonic war followed tho great
comet of 1811. Westminster Gazette.
MALIBRAN'S CAPTIVITY.
A Romantic Incident lit the 'Career of
tho Great Singer.
The following incident Is told of
Mme. Malibran. whose voice once
Upon a time excited tho most unro-
mantic to folly. '
She -was resting in her dresslngroom
at the theater after singing In tho
part of Desdemona her passionate
soul still quivering with the emotion
of the part and the tears and applause
of her listeners. A person entered
and begged her to go to her mother.
Who had been taken 111. A carriage
not her own was at tho door. She
was whirled through the streets and
led. much to her surprise nnd fear
into a strange bouse nnd to an excel-
lent boudoir hung and carpeted with
rose colored silk. '
Hero tho benutifuf songstress was
left nlono after belng.assured by her
attendants that her mother was well
that the message was a subterfuge and
that her captivity .would last until she
sang something.
On a low sent sat a lyre such as
that which thrilled in Mallbran's fin-
gers as she Bang Desdempna's touch
Ing song.
At first she determined to resist; but
after a short -.tlmo her mind reverted
tto tho evening and almost uncon-
sciously' she took Up the Instrument
and sang the "Romance de Saule." Aa
she concluded sounds of enthusiastic
applause and trembling accents of de-
light came to her through tho silk
hangings and she wns then conducted
by liveried servants to her carriage
and to her home. -
The next morning she found on her
table a casket containing a magnifi-
cent pair of earrings and Inside the
cover written in diamonds was tho
word "Mercl." But tho event re-
mained a mystery to her forever.
Retort Filial.
In a warm argument one of tho con-
testants bad a poor case but ho do-
fended his position vigorously.
"Ob yes" tho other ono chuckled
"you have your defense but you'vo
lost. Losers always bavo their de-
fense. Lincoln used to Illustrate that
with a story about his boy Tad.
"Lincoln and Tad wcro lunching one
day In tho White House.
"'Don't cat your fish with your
knife boy' said" Lincoln sternly. 'It's
not polite'
" 'But father' Bald Tad 'is It polite
to stare at folks when they're eat-
lng?"' Vry True.
A grandmother waa reproving her
little grandchildren for inaklug so
much noise. ilDear me children you

THE EYE t)F AH ARTIST.
A Caae Whera It Waa Mare 'ReHabfa
Than a SalhVa Optic ..
Mr N. Chevalier the well knows-
artist who accompanied the- late Duke
of Edinburgh on many of his travels
was once going from Dunedln to Lyt-
telton. Now Zealand by steamer. Anx-
ious' 'to catch the earliest glimpse of
tho const he went on deck at dawn
and wns alarmed t6 see that the ves-
tel waa heading straight on to the
land. Calling tho o01ccr!s attention to
tho fact ho was told that It was only
a fog bank. The artist maintained his
point but tho second officer looked
and confirmed his mato.
Tho artist then Bald "Well gcntlo-
men I will back my artist's oyo
kgalnst your sailor's eye. and I Bay
that what you mistako for a fog bank-
Is a low rango of hills and thero Is a
rango of mountains appearing above
them."
But bo 'was only laughed at until tho
captain coming on deck found In
tho growing light that tho artfst was
right ahd tho seamen wrong. Tho
vessel was out of its course and thoro
was only just tlmo to 'avert disaster
Tho helmsman was" dismissed in dis-
grace and tho course given to a now
steersman but the vessel's head still
pointed landward tho compass was
all wrong.
Tho cause was discovered later. A
commercial traveler had brought a box
of magnets ou bonrd and deposited
them In a stern cabin causing what
might bavo been a fatal deflection of
the compass.
To return to the question of Inter-
pretation the artist was dealing with
tho appearances which his eye was
trained to see and his mind to inter-
pret. A speck ou tho horizon might
have remaiued a mero speck to him
long "after the sailors had Interpreted
tho speck into n vessel of definite rig.
Thero can bo little doubt that the
trained eye Is accompanied by a sort
of mental seeing an Instinct outrun-
ning optics.
FRIENDLY ADVICE.
'Billings' Parting 8hot'to a Cheeky
Jos
Drummer.
About Christmas tlmo oncothesomo-
tlme famous JOsb Billings humorist
wns on his way to his old home at
Lnuesboro. Mass. On the train were
tiireo traveling men wuo wuuieu u
game of whist. One of them pointed
to unpretentious and unprepossessing
Josh nnd said:
"Lets asu Huue into me game nuu
comb some of the hayseed out of his
hair."
VMy venerable friend." he Mid np
he laid his hand on tile shoulder of the
old man "will you Join us In a gaitje
of whist?"
"Ya-ns: we will get' thero In abaout
three hours" replied Josh putting bin
hand 4 to" his ear.
You don't seem to understand." said
tho young fellow In a louder tone. "Wo
want you to take n hand"
"Ya-asj the stand o' corn has been
unusual gord this year."
"My friend." tho young fellow then
yelled "will you (ake a band In a
game?'
"Ya-as; 1 was tellln' Mnndy this
mornin' how plenty an' how fat tho
game Is thlsyear."
"Oh. you go to the devil!" shouted
the young fellow ns ho took his Beat
while the other drummers unmerci-
fully pestered him. '
When Lnuesboro was reached the
old fellow got up. banded ono of bis
Josh Billings cards to each one of the
trio and then said to his Interlocutor:
"Young man while you aro travel-
ing on your cheek don't got any hay-
seed on jour clothes or tho other
drummers will tako you for n Rubo
and get yon into some game and skin
you."-Plttsburg Dispatch. rt '
What Bothered Her.
"Some women are very selfish" said
a woman speaker at a banquet. "They
remind mo of the woman who visited
a fortune teller.
'Lady.' said the fortune teller
shuffling the cards 'fate decrees that
you will visit foreign lauds. You will
mingle In the court life of kings and
qupens. Couquering all rivals you
will ujnrry tho man of your choice a
tall dark handsome gent of distin-
guished ancestry In fact a peer of tho
realm.'

Von. vntinrr rtnd rlnh.'
The visitor In her excitement clutch-
ed tho seer's arm.
"But how sho cried eagerly 'how
am Pto get rid of my present hus-
band?'" Goaded.
Savlug became a passion with tho
j
raau
and the woman. No privation
was too great if ho by It they might
add to their accumulations. And they
labored Jointly. The woman's sacrifice
was In every respect equal to that of
the man.
But when they had amassed $1Q900
the man because be had the power
took the money ami purchased with 'I
not the automobile which be had led
bis faithful wife to expect but a
home. "Brute!" she crlod and when
next a mob of suffragette came that
way she Joined them. Who could
blame her?-Puek t

BAGGING JIBIG TIGER
Tho Jungle Monarch Was Trap
ped Lolling In His Bath.
A FEAT OF MARKSMANSHIP.
Only tho Bruta'a Haad Showad Akav
the Water and tha Wall Flaoad ftttl-
let Fired From an Elephant Enter
the Nostril and Broke Hla Neok.
An Interesting account of a tlgec
hunt Is given by one who hnd a wkk
oxporlenco In hunting this most dan-
gerous of bensts. Mounted upon ele-
phants tho writer and his companion
had boon beatlug tho Junglo without
making a find until nas they were-
about to give up tho search a suddecL
disturbanco among tho elephants ap-
pcarod to botokon a tiger near at
hand. Giving directions to tho other
as to tho order of marching their ele-
phants the writer ordered his ma
hout to turn into tho thlqk feathered
follago to tho left in search of a pooL
of water which ho remembered to ba
thero.
Thero wns n slight descent to a loeg"
but narrow hollow about fifty or sixty
yards wide. This was filled with clear
water for on unknown ldngth.
1 wns Just about to mako a remark
when. Instend of speaking I gently
grasped tho mahout by tho head as I
lcanqd over' the howdnh and by thto
signal stopped tho elephant.
Tbcre wns n remnrkablo sight
About 120 ynrds distant ou my right
the head and neck of a largo tiger;
clean and benutlful. reposed above tha
surfaco of tho waiter while tho body
was cooling concealed from view.
Hero was onr friend enjoying hi
quiot bnth while wo hnd been 'pound-
lug invny up and down the Jungles
which he htid left
Tiro nt him." whispered tbo ma-
hout "or you will lose hlnil no will
see us nnd bo off."
"Hold your tonguol" I answered.
"He can't spo us for tho sun la nt our
back nnd is shining In his eyes. Be
how green they are."
At this moment tho tiger quietly roe
from hlB bntb and sat up on end like
n dog. I never saw such a Bight Hi
bond wns beautiful and the eyes
shone like two green electric lights as
the sun's rays reflected from them
but his hugo body was dripping with.
muddy wntor as he hndi been rccluir
lug upon tbo nlluvlnj bottom.
For quite n minute the tiger sat up
in the same position. At last as ifr
Batlsfled that he was In snfoty and se-
clusion ho once more lay down wlthv
only tho head and neck cxpose'd above
tho surface.
"Back the elephant gently but tlc
not turn nround(" I whispered. Im-
mediately tho elephant bacSkcd through;
the fenthqry tamarisk without the
slightest sound and we found our-
selves qutsido tho Jungle. Wo could
brcntho freely.
"Go ou now. qulto goutly till I preew
your bend then turn to tho right de-
trending through the tamarisk till
again touch your turban."
I counted the elephant's paces as sb
moved softly parallel with tbo jungle
until I felt fiuro of my distance. A
slight 'pressure upon tho maboetfe
head and the elephant turned to tke
right. Tho waving" plumes of the dark
grceu tamarisk divided as wo gently
moved forward and in another sao-
ment wo stopped Thoro was the tlgar
In tho aamo position exactly facing
mo but now 'about aovontyfflve jacas
distant -
"Keep tho elephant qulto 'steady" 1
whispered and sitting down upon the'
howdnh scat 1 took a rest wltb tin
rlflo upou the front bar of the gast
rack. A piece of tamarisk kept wrt
Ing In the wind Just in front of tb
rifle beyond my reach. The mafeoet
leaned forward and gently bent It
down. Now all was clear. Tho tiger's
eyes wcro Jiko grcon glass. The
puant for a moment stood llko stee.
I touched tho trigger.
Thoro wns no response to tho load re-
port of six drams of powdor from the
"flvo-soven-sovon" rifle no splash la
the unbroken surfaco of the water1.
Tho tiger's head was still there Imt
In a different attitude ono-half below
tbo surface and only ono cheek ana
ono large eye still glittering like aa
emerald above. '
Upon examination It proved that
there was no hole whatever In that
tiger the bullet having entered the
nostril broken the neck and run alone;
the body The nnltnal consequently
had never moved.
This tiger when laid out straight bat
without being -pulled to Increase las
