ORIGIN OF “‘THE TALISMAN," MADE
FAMOUS BY SCOTT.

Tales of Amulets Which Possessed Won-
derful Powers—Belief 'l‘hat Kings Could
Cure Diseases by Laying 0!: of Hands.
Banishing a Plague from a Scotch Town.

An eastern story called “The Talisman,”
one of Walter Scott’s best romances, was
published in 1825. The incident from which
the romance derivod its name is this: A
knight’s squire has been cured of a severe
illness by an Arabian physician sent by Sal-
adin, who has heard that King Richard, dan-
gerously ill, has been given over by his doc-
tors, who were not very well instructed at
that time.

' The Saracen, who really is Saladin in dis-
guise and known only as El Hakim (the phy-
sician), is entirely trusted by Richard, who
places high confidence in the honor of the
Soldan, his enemy. El Hakim produces a
small silken bag, made of net work twisted
with silver, containing something heavy,
which he immerses in a cup of spring water
and retains it therein for a few minutes.
The king empties the cup at a draught, and
falls back on his couch as if exhausted; is
left to rest in quiet, and when he awakens
some hours after the fever has wholly left
him, without the necessity of his taking a sec~
and dose. The silken purse had contained a
talisman!

At the conclusion of the romance Sir Ken-
neth, the disguised son of the king of Scot-
land, was married to Edith Plantagenet,
Richard’s cousin, and Scott says: “It is still
in existence, having been bequeathed by the
Earl of Huntingdon to a brave knight of
Scotland, Sir Simon of the Lee, in whose
ancient and honorable family it is still pre-
served; and although charmed stones have
been dismissed from the modern pharma-
copcnia, its virtues are still applied to for
stopping blood and in cases of canine mad-
news.”

The talisman is still preserved. It is
called the Lee Penny, or the Lee Stone. It
isan heirloom in the ancient Scottish fam-
ily of Lockhart, and derives its distinctive
title from the estate of Lee, in the west of
Scotland.

The Lee Penny is a stone of a dark red color
and triangular shape, and it measures about
half an inch on each side. It is set in a piece
of silver coin much defaced, on which a few
letters may still be deciphered. Antiquarians
have declared that this inscription resembles
”that on the shilling of Edward I. Once a
lapidary was allowed to examine this talis-
man and found it was a stone—but of what
kind he could not tell.

The traditional account of this Lee Penny,
as delivered by the family which has possessed
it for over 560 years, is singular enough.
Robert Bruce, kin-gof Scotland, dying in 1329,
left a will which directed Lord J am‘es Doug-
las, commonly called the Good, to convey his
heart to the Holy Land to be buried in J erusa-
lem—hence, a heart, crowned and bleeding,
appears in the armorial bearingsof the Doug-
las family to this day. Douglas went to fight
the Saracens in Spain instead of going direct
to Palestine, was slain in battle, and the per-
son who carried Bruce’s heart to its destina-
tion was one Simon Lee, who, to commem-
orate his achievement, took the name of
Lock-heart, putting on his shield a heart
within a lock.

In the Holy Land this gallant gentleman
fought fiercely against the Saracens. Hav-
ing captured an emir in battle, the aged
mother of that prince came to ransom him.
As was his right, Lockhart exacted as large
a sum as possible, which the old lady was
willing to pay—partly in cash, partly in jew-
els. Taking the latter out of her purse, there
felllout of it a stone set in a silver coin, and
she picked this up with so much haste and
anxiety that the Scottish knight became as-
sured that it must be far more valuable than
it appeared. He refused to liberate the elnir
unless that amulet were given him. Aftrr
many refusals the lady consented and deliv-
ered it to him, explaining how it was to be
used and what wondrous healing virtues it
possessed.

On one occasion complaint was made in
Scottish ecclesiastical courts against Sir
James Lockhart, then laird of Lee, for cur-
ing diseases by witchcraft, but on trial the
Lee Penny was solemnly pronounced to be an
1 amulet, "to which it had pleased God to an-
nex certain healing virtues which the church
did not presume to condemn.”

When the plague was in the town of New-
castle, on the borders of Scotland, the inhabi-
tants borrowed the LeePeuny, giving a bond
to a very considerable amount for its safe re-
turn. The plague suddenly disappeared,
which the inhabitants attributed to the talis-
man, which they offered to purchase at a
large cost, but the owner refused.

near Edinburgh, bitten by a mad dog. bor-
rowed thc stone, drinking and bathing in the
water in which it had been dipped, and at-
tributed her complete cure to its use. This
water, called Lockerlee water, is in high re-
pute throughout the west of Scotland. In
Hone’s “Table Book” is a short description of
. the Lee Penny, with an accurate engraving
of it. In the top of the silver setting is a lit-
tle chain, by which it was held while the pro-
cess of dipping it into the water was per-
formed.

The inhabitants of Persia, Arabia, Turkey
and Egypt have very great faith in amulets
and talismans, believing that to wear them
will prevent ‘accidents and even cure dis-
eases. Walter Scott did not disbelieve the
virtues of the Lee Penny, though he did not
explain why. He hinted that imagination
might have a good deal to do with any cures
attributed to it.

In Hone’s “Table Book” he says: “There
are some ludicrous instances of wonderful
cures performed in the north of England on
credulous people, by] vintueof water wherein
the Lee Penny was reputed to have been
dipped, and yet neither the water nor the Lee
Penny had crossed the Tweed.”

' The Lee Penny cures are not more incredi-
ble than the popular belief that prevailed for
many centuries that the British sovereign:
had the power of curing diseases by touching
' the part affected. Especially was this the
case in regard to the disease known as scr‘of-
ula, or king’s evil. Edward the Confessor

nine centuries ago, “touched” many of his
subjects. Chroniclers differ in opinion on
the question whether this power was due to
the special piety of Edward, or whether it
was inherent in the blood of the Saxon kings.
To what extent the Norman kings followed
the example is not known, but Henry II cer-
tainly “touched.”

The ceremony was more or less continued
to the Eighteenth century. The Stuarts be-
lieved in it, or at any rate accommodated the
belief of it in the minds of other persons.
William III did not. Macaulay says that
when the king heard that his palace was be-
sieged by a crowd of sick persons toward the
close of Lent he exclaimed: “It is a silly su-
perstition;, give the poor creatures some
money and send them away.” And when, on
a particular occasion, a patient was impor-
tuning for a touch, William said: “God give
you better health-—and more sense.” How
far the hope of some little pecuniary advant-
age influenced the patient it would be diffi-
cult to decide—Troy Times.

Old Time Whipping‘s.

“A boy cannot be whipped amiss,” said a
school master of the olden time; “because if
he has not just done a piece of mischief he is
just going to do it.” In the days of this
school tyrant, the cane, the rattan and the
“clapper” were in almost hour, use.

The author of “Sketches of rookline” de-
scribes the “clapper,” the principal instru-
ment of punishment used by Master Adams,
a teacher who made his mark on his pupils.

It was a circular piece of leather, three.

I quarters of an inch thick and five inches in

diameter, with a round hole in the center.
A stout leather handle, flexible and stiff, two
feet long, was attached to the circular piece,
and made it suitable for spanking. Master
Adams kept this “clapper” at his boarding
house, where the first culprit in the morning
was sent to bring it, that he might, while on
the way, reflect on what was in store for him.

Another instrument of punishment, the
“unipod”—suggested by the Latin tripod—
was a stool with only one leg, and that in the
middle. On this the offender was seated, and
of course had to strain his muscles to prevent
gravitation bringing on a fall.

On along, low seat in front of the first row
of desks sat the little ones, ranging from 4 to
6 years of age, who were called up once in
the forenoon and once in the afternoon to
name the letters of the alphabet. The rest
of the time they were expected to “sit up
straight and keep still,” something which no
bright, healthy child is able to do, for even
an hour.

One day the little children disturbed the
master by their uneasiness. He laid one child
face downward on the platform floor. An-
other and another was laid beside him, then
others piled upon them, till he had made a
pyramid, with the greatest rogue on top.
Then be seized the “clapper,” and applied it
to the topmost child, while groans and cries
in every key proceeded from the squirming
pile.

The public opinion which in these days
hardly tolerates the modern whipping of
school children, is a revulsion from the cruel
whippings of a former generation. The pres
out method may be weak; the old method
was certainly unjust, not to say barbarous.

Asbestus Mining in Canada.

Mining is carried on by cutting down the
hills of asbestus bearing serpentine, much as
a farmer cuts down a stack of hay or straw,
or by open quarrying on the level. The rock
is blast out, and the asbestus, separated from
the containing rock, is “cobbed”—-i. e., sepa-
rated by hammering from adhering foreign
matter. This “cobbing” is a comparatively
easy matter in the case of the finer quality,
as it usually separates readily from the
gangue, but in the lower grades much difli—
culty is experienced in separating the fibrous
matter from the non-fibrous. At best there
is great waste. Much of the asbestus is in
thin or narrow veins, and is wasted, as by
the present mode of operating it does not pay
to separate this from the serpentine. A ma-
chine that will enable these narrow veins to
be utilized is a desideratum.

When “cobbed,” the asbestus is graded ac—
cording to purity, color and length of fiber
into three grades and bagged for shipment.
The finest quality or “firsts” finds ready sale
at prices ranging from $80 to $110 per ton;
“seconds” fetch from $50 to $70 per ton;
while “thirds” may be valued at $13 to $15
per ton. In good mines the yield of asbestos
is from 3 to 5 per cent. of the rock quarried,
and the cost of mining may be put down at
$25 to $30 per ton. Returns obtained by the
geological survey of Canada show that, for
the year 1888, Canada’s output was 4,404 tons,
valued at the mines at $255,000, and this the
output of nine different mines. Over three-
fourths of the whole was shipped to the
United States; small quantities going to

Great Britain, Germany, France, Belgium 3
and Italy, and being used in domestic manu— .

Sponge Trade of Cuba.

Sponges are found both on the northern ‘

and southern coast of Cuba, but the chief
ports to which they are brought for sale are
Batabano on the south coast and Oaibarien
on the. north.

Consul Little, of Havana, says that the
classes included are sheep wool, velvet, hard
head, yellow, grass and glove. Very little
reef, if any, is found in Cuba. On the south
coast, sheep wool and velvet are more abund-
ant than on the north coast. Cuban sponges
find a market chiefly in England, France and
the United States. The island itself con-
sumes about one-tenth of all the sponges
brought in. and these are used especially for
the damping of tobacco and for cleaning
centrifugal machines on sugar estates.

The sponge fisheries employ about 1,000
hands, chosen exclusively from among the
matriculados, or seamen who have served on
Spanish men—of-war, and are still bound to
serve when called upon.

On the south coast are employed vessels
ranging from about ‘five to twenty tons,
carrying from four .to eight men, and each
vessel is provided with from three to six
small boats. 0n the north coast open boats
with one or two men each are used. The an-
nual value of the sponges brought in by these
vessels is between £160,000 and £180,000.—

Charles B. Theme, Practical Joker.

One day, says Whiting, there was a mati-
nee, and old Tom Morris was taking his usual
nap in the Morton house cafe. It was 11 a.
m. The matinee occurred at 2:30 p. m., and
Morris, who played a servant’s part, was the
first one on the stage. Thoma saw the old
fellow asleep and he put up the job. The
cafe clock was pushed forward three hours.
Then Thorns bribed the theatre’s call boy to
rush in, arouse Morris, and tell him he was
late. . This he did. Poor Morris rubbed his
eyes, glanced at the clock, saw the hour, and
then rushed into his dressing room and made
up for his part in a great hurry. With per.
spiration pouring from his face—forit was
midsummer—he sat down to await his “call.”
All seemed quiet. Then the old fellow looked
at his watch. It was 11:15 a. m. He swore
a good deal, but rather than wash and “make
up” again he sat in his dressing room for
three mortal hours, and when he went on the
stage be cast a reproachful glance at Thorne.
He knew who was responsible.——Chicago Her-

scouring, Dyeing and Patching the Gar-
ments That Have Seen Better Days.
The Old Fashioned, Simple Process, and
the Methods of a “Scientific” Cleaner.

One whole side of thevshop was hung with
what some people call “pants,” in regimental
order, dangling two by'two from frames in
a serrled column, awaiting occupancy by
their several owners. All of them were spick
and span, like new, because they had just
passed through the cleaning mill. In fact,
that was precisely what the establishment
might properly be termed. The sign outside
said: “Steam Dyeing and Securing.”

A rather dilute specimen of youthful man-
hood with insipient side whiskers and a shrill
voice was engaged at the moment in submit-
ting to the notice of the attendant a grease
spot of considerable size on that portion of
the trouser-s he wore which is ordinarily con-
cealed from view by the coat tails.

“I told you when you brought them here,”
said the shopman, “that cod liver oil was the
one thing we couldn’t remove from cloth.
The only thing I can suggest is to cut out the
stain and put in a patch.”

The young man posed himself between two
opposite mirrors, and, with coat tails still up-
lifted, surveyed with evident dissatisfaction.
an endless perspective of stylish customers,
with unpleasant stains on the seats of their
pantaloons, extending in a line toward Penn-
sylvania avenue. .

“I don’t think I would care to have that
done. They’re my very best trousers, you
see,” he replied, gravely, and a moment later
he walked out.

The writer, who had come in just in time
to witness this performance, asked how it
was that pantaloons and other clothes were
cleaned.

“The process is very simple,” the shop man
said. “It is merely a matter of soap and
hot water. A pair of pants, say—and the
same thing applies to other clothing—is first
thrown into a big kettle of hot—not boiling
—water and allowed to soak for half an hour.
Then they are taken out and laid upon an in-
clined trough like table for scouring. This is
done with a sponge, a stiff brush and quanti-
ties of ordinary soft soap. First the outside
of the garment is cleaned by rubbing with
the sponge and scraping with the brush, and
next the inside, turned inside out, is treated
in the same way.

“When this has been done, the pants are
thoroughly rinsed in three successive editions
of cold water, and, after being wrung out,
are hung up in the hot air room to dry. Fi-
nally they are pressed out, and then they are
ready for delivery. In cases where goods left
here are verymoderatel y dirty we only dry
clean them, that is to say, the spots are taken
out with benzine and they are pressed. Like
most cleaners, we do mending and repairing,
and it is no unusual thing for us to have a
customer who takes it for granted that, for
the small amount we charge, the clothes he
Wishes to have cleaned will be made over
again, as to buttons and patches, like new,
incidentally. Very many articles are left
on our hands, mostly by people who find
themselves unable to pay the charges upon
them. Ilnpecuniousness is the ordinary
reason for such failure, but it would surprise
you to know how many of our customers die
or get into jail, so that they can’t very well
take their things away. All that line of coats
and pants along the rear wall belonged once
to men now dead.”

“How do you dispose of such things?" asked
the newspaper man.

“To ordinary customers. People often
come in here and inquire if we have this gar-
ment or that to sell cheap. As a rule we
‘ have something of the sort desired. We
' never sell to the second hand clothing men,
3 because they don’t pay fair prices.”

The view of this interesting subject taken

I by an expert whose sign hung out only a few
' doors away was very different. Said he:

“It must have been one of these cheap
cleaners that you interviewed. There is a
primitive method practiced by such as they,
with soap and warm water, which does very
well for amateurs. But did you ever see a
grease spot destroyed by soap and water?
Hardly, I think.
rily, only to come out again as offensive as
ever after a. little dust has bad time to settle
upon it. To really cleanse a pair of pants-
loons, for instance, a much more elaborate
method of procedure must be adopted. In
this establishment a. scientific system does
the work. To begin with, all the men’s
clothing that is brought in is divided into
three classes—very dirty, moderately dirty
and comparatively clean. The three grades
represent pretty accurately three correspond—
ing classes of customers. It is undesirable
to mix them up. Suppose-to take an ex-
treme case—the germs of some disease were
present in a certain coat: they might be
communicated to other garments, and our
business would suffer. Therefore it is that,
after the clothes to be stitched have had
numbers stitched into them with white cot-
ton, for purposes of identification, the fore-
man divides them up.

“And the very dirty ones?”

“They have first applied to them a solution
of chloroform, ether and benzine in equal
parts with water. Next they are placed in
a machine by which steam is forced through
them at a tremendous pressure. What is
the result? I can best explain it by referring
to the chief disadvantage of the primitive
process Consider, if you please, that each
piece of cloth has three sides, a right side,
a wrong side and an inside. The inside is
the web and woof of the material. Get a bad
grease spd; on your trousers, of course it
goes right through the stuff and no amount
of ordinary soap and water will remove it.
You may sponge it out of the right side and
the wrong side, but it still remains in the
substance of the inside, and sooner or later
it will reappear on the surface. We avoid

all this by forcing the dirt out on the sur-
face with the steam blast and washing it
. away as it comes. After the steam two
more applications of the benzine, ether and
‘chloroform are made; the article of dress is
dried in a ‘whiz,’ or revolving tub, by cen-
trifugal force; it is then hung up in the hot
' room to dry, and is subsequently pressed for
delivery. There is no sort of spot that will
not come out after that treatment. Moder-
I ately dirty things we treat but once with the
2 chloroform solution before steaming, and
clothes that are only slightly soiled we
. merely sponge the stains out of and finish
with the iron.”
", “And how is it about women’s dresses and
I such things?” ‘ =
“For them we use mostly what we call the
g ‘dry’ process. This means the application of
i chloroform and other. Both are wonderfully
lvolatile, you know, leaving the fabric dry 3.
isecond or two after they are put on. Just
,how they are used. is a secret of the trade
which I am not at liberty to disclose. Most
cleaners employ benzine liberally, but in this
shop as little of it is em loyed as possible,
though it is a werful cfeaner. because it is

A printer, well known in Atlanta, had an
experience during the past few days which he
islikely toremember. Like many a better
man he got hard up in Birmingham last
week. He wanted to come to Atlanta and he
crawled into the first vacant stock car he
saw, and as it was night, rolled into one cor-
ner and went to sleep. He was awakened in
a little while by a lot of mules which were
driven in on him.

“Scared? well, I think I was,” he says in
telling the story. “But I wanted to come,
and I thought I could pacify the mules so
they would let me alone. I soon found that
wouldn’t work. They eyed me suspiciously,
