An Incident eof the New York Postoflice.
It is not diflicult to find examples of
files efficiency which strike one as be-
ingonly a little short of the marvelous.
The speed of the department in handling
monstrous mails, and the great skill shown
in deciphering illegible handwriting and
interpreting-imperfect and blundering ad-
dresses, are often commented on. And this
wonderful system brought about a result
recently which was indeed the exception
which proved the rule. A man who daily
receives a vast amount of letters went out
of town. His name evidently has become
so familiar to people in the big postofilce
that a letter dropped there with 119 ad-
dress on it would promptly be sent to his
ofiice. Here is the proof:

A letter was mailed from his own office
to him at the place where he was staying.
It never went beyond the postofiice, but was
promptly returned with “the correct” ad
dress on it—namely, that of his office. The
postoifice oflicials no doubt thought that
they were saving some one from a stupid
blgider. The comedy of the thing, how-
. ever, was what followed. The letter came
back in the afternoon It 'was reposted
that night andwas back'again the next
afternoon. For three days that letter was
kept flying between the man’s office and
the postofliee. There was a watchful
picket line which it could not pass. All
this goes to show that it is sometimes in-
convenient to be known too welL—New
York Tribune.

A Potato Legend.

A curious Berwickshire (Eng) legend
attributes the introduction of potatoes into
Scotland to that famous Wizard of the
North Sir Michael Scott, and according to
the story Michael and the devil, being in
partnership, took the lease of a farm on the
Mertoun estate called the “Whitehouse.”
Michael was to manage the farm, the devil
manage the capital. The produce was to
be divided as follows: The first year Mi-
chael was to have all that grew above the
ground, and the devil all that grew below;
the second year the shares were to be di-
vided in just the opposite way.

His satanic majesty, as one might sup-
pose, was badly beaten in his bargain, for
Sir Michael, with true Scottish foresight,
sowed all the land to wheat the first year.
and planted it all in potatoes on the second,
so the poor devil got nothing for his share
but wheat stubble and potato tops. In
spite of this legend, however, we must give
Sir Walter Raleigh credit for introducing
the potato into the British Isles. The first
potato cultivators of England fell into the
natural error of eating the small green
balls on the vines instead of the tuber.—

Electric Light Wires Kill Birds.

. The numerbus electric light and tele-
graph wires strung all over the city with
such disastrous effect upon human life are
also playing havoc with the pestiferous
,English sparrows. One of these birds was
seen the other day to alight upon a wire in
Forty-second street, near the Grand Cen-
tral depot, and in another moment it fell
to the .--.pavement, quivering like a leaf in
the wiiid and Was Mngly in a death
stinggle. :One'of its wi was; partially
burned; and the little ng tried hard'to
fly with the other. The fatal electrical
current had evidently done its work, for

the sparrow fell over on its back and turned .

up its little toes in death—New York Tele-

One" Way of committing Suicide.

In March, 1888, a man boarded a ferry-
boat running - between Philadelphia and
Camden, N. J ., and when the boat was
amidstream he took a vial from his pocket

.. containing prussic acid. He swallowed the
contents, at the same time mounting the
rail. Before the deck hands could "check,
him the self murderer leaped into the
river, and as he wont overboard shot him-

' self through the head with a bullet from a

bulldog revolver. When his body was re-
covered and a poot-mortem examination
was made sufficient poison was found in
his-stomach to have killed a dozen men.—

HAVELOK THE DANE

On the eastern coast of England is a
town called Grimsby, and they who live
therein—or such of 'them at least who
have knowledge of the deeds done by the
folk of . old—tell this story to the stranger”
who happens into their dwellings:

Many years ago, say the folk of Grims-
by, when in the place of this dear town of
ours there was but a sea marsh, with the
waters of the broad mouth of the river
Humber lapping it, there dwelt in the far
01! country of Denmark asimple fisherman
whose name was Grimme. The lord to
whom he was in thrall ruled oVer the whole
fair land of Denmark, yet did not rule of
right, but of might. For when the true
king of Denmark, whose name ‘was Birke-
been, lay a-dying he called unto him his
friend the knight Goddard, and spoke to
him in this wise:

“Sir Goddard, in many a battle have we
fought side by side, and at many a feast
have we drunk out of the same horn, and,
so had we thought to do for many a year
to. come. But to each one of . us Death
cometh at his own bidding, and so is it

, with me this day. Nor would I sorrow

overmuch at Death’s coming; for Well I
know that he will take me to my true love
and good wife, Helfeld, who died a year
agone, were it not for my little son Have-
lok and his sister Swanboion. N ow, there—
fore swear to me, good Goddard, that my
children will be to thee as thy children,
and that thou wilt cherish this fair land of
mine until Havelok shall have grown to
be a man and worthy to receive it at thy
hand.” And Goddard sware it, and the
good king died in peace. ‘ Yet no sooner .
was he dead than the crafty Goddard took
the kinship for his own and cruelly treated
the children of his dead friend and master.
The maiden indeed he killed, and likewise
would he have done to the boy but that he
feared, seeing the youth was kingly seem-
ing, though but in his fifth year. So the
evil Goddard sent for his thrall Grimme,
the fisherman, and said to him:

“Take this boy, tie to him a great weight
mi cast him into the sea. So shall I re-
:w thee with gold and with thy freedom;
is” thy sin shall be my sin, and on my
head and not on thine it shall lie.”

And Grimme took the lad and bound
him, and wrapped him in a cloth, and car-
ried him on his back to his but by the sea,
and threw him upon the ground the while
his wife Leif c‘Ooked for him his supper.

And as he eat he told, Leif what the king
(for so all men now called Goddard) was to
do for them, and what riches awaited them
when that the boy should be thrown into
the sea; and so he lay down to await the
morning, when he should do as he had
been bid. But in the night Dame Leif
awoke, and thought it was already morn-
ing; for, behold. the but was bright with
a great light, the which, when her eyes
were used 'to it, she saw came from where
the child lay. Out of his mouth streamed
a ray as if from the sun at noonday. Then
Leif was troubled, and awoke her husband,
who in his turn trembled sorely and was
afraid; and asking what this could mean
he got up and unbound Havelok, finding
as he did so a royal cross on his shoulder.

Then quoth Grimme, “Got wot, we have

here in our but the king of Denmark!”
And he fell at his feet and swore fealty;

'but the boy laughed ‘merrily and said:

“Though I be king, yet am I an hungry
one and a thirsty withal. ” So the fisher-
man and his dame brought bread and
cheese and milk and set them before the
king’s son, and when this one had eaten
and drunken he lay down and slept as
though he should never awaken.

In the morning, while the son yet slept,
Grimme ‘hiod himself to Goddard and
spoke in this wise: “I have done thy bid-
ding and cast the child into the sea with
an anchor of stone tied to his neck. Now
give me the reward.” But Goddard an-
swered: ‘_‘Thou naughty varlet, . what
know I of any child. If this is 'murder
thou hast done I shall surely punish thee.”
And so Grimme departed from the castle,
marveling at the wickedness and falseness
of men.

When he came to his but he gathered
his goods together and stowed them in his
boat, and putting into italso Havelok and
Leif and her three sons and two daughters
he raised the sail to the masthead and
sailed across the sea toward the west. He
had sailed thus for a day and a night when
a great wind rose and blew the boat on to
the shore of England, and the place where
they landed WE’RtjgthQ mouth of the river
Humber. ‘ “X

Then Grimme built for himself a hut of.
earth, and seeing that he was a clever fish-
erman, neither he noth family not Have-
lok wanted, for bread, for the fish that he
caught'he and his sons carried in baskets
to the towns and hamlets hard by and
sold them. Thus lived they for twelve win-
ters, and young Havelok grew until he had
the stature and strength of one who num-
bored twice his years. But it grieved him
that he should be idle, and should have to
look to his foster father Grimme for his
food and for his raiment. though of the
last named it was but little that young
Havelok had. Indeed, when the timecame ,
that he went to Grimme and said, ‘,‘I will
lie idle no longer, but will go to the south
country and there work for my own bread,
seeing that you have naught whereunto I ,
can put my hand," it fell out that he had
no coat wherewith to cover himself when
he should come among the southern folk.
So Grimmd took "foil 1 his sailcloth' enough
to make a coat. and out it, andfthe good
wife Leif sewed it, so that Havelok had a
mat. ' And Grimme, Who was new; .old,
blessed him, and so hedeparted. " I?!"

castle by the sea, which men call Dover,
and she had but small clothin'g‘and less to
eat and drink. Now the remembrance of
his oath began to'vex the wicked earl, and
he looked around for a way by which he
cOuld break it and yet not imperil his soul.
While he was debating this his steward,
one Bertram, came to him and said: “Earl,
there is in my service a youth named
Havelok, who is lusty and strong beyond
his fellows, and beyond any man I wot of,
although he is but a cook’s variet. He
came to me a year sgone and asked me
food, in return for which he hewed the
wood and carried the water for the house-
hold. Seeing that he was clothed in a sin-
gle coat, and that he did the work of four,
I had fashioned for ’ him clothes of a
proper habit, and now I would pray you,
car], to let the youth be brought before
you, so haply you may choose him for -a
man of arms. I say this, for that he is a
gentleyouth, and that all men, yea, the
very children love him, in that he is not
only strong but blithe of speech, and hand-
some to look upon.” .. ' .

And the earl did as ~méwart Bertram
asked of him, and when Havelok stepped
in front of him he sai‘!c that all that was
told of him was truth, And in that hour
a wicked thought took hold of the earl.
He thought that he would:marry Gold-
borough to Havelok, and so might he keep
his oath and break it, seeing that the
youth was the poorest man in all the land
and yet was a chnrl’s son, whom having
married the princess would be dragged
down from'her high estate and could no
more be accounted worthy to rule the fair
land of England. So the earl sent for
Goldborough and for Havelok and partly
by hard knocks and partly by threats he
forced them both to agree to his wish, and
the twain were married by the archbishop
of York, for the earl’s castle was at Lin-
coln, nearby.

Then Havelok took his wife, who was
as yet to him no wife save in name
alone, for she despised her husband on ac-
count of what she esteemedhis lowly birth,
and the two journeyed northward and
eastward to Grimsby, as the dwelling of
Grimme was then called and asit is known
to this very day. But Grimme was dead
and his wife also, and only his five children
were left to welcome Havelok and his
queenly bride. Right kind was the greet-
ing Grimme’s children gave, and soon they
had prepared a great feast in honor of the

r

pal .

In the night as Goldborough lay awake,
sorrowing after the manner of women, she
saw that the room was bright, and that
the light came from about the head of her
husband, and she heard a voice bidding
her sorrow not, for that Havelok was a
king’s son and heir, and that he and she
should rule together over Denmark and
En land. Then she woke Havelok and
to] him what she had heard.

In the morning Havelok rose and called
to him Grimme’s three sons, chart the
Red, William Wendath and Hugh Raven,
and asked them if they would go forth
with him to Denmark, and they answered,
“Ay,” and got ready their boat, into which
they stepped with Havelok and Goldbor-
ough. Arriving there they traveled
through the land until they came to the
castle of Ubbe, a Danish earl, who showed
them hospitality and lodged them in the
town near by in the house of a man named
Bernard the Brown.

In the night the house was beset by sixty
thieves, with whom Havelok and his three
companions fought long and hardly until
they had each killed a full score of robbers.
Havelok, however, was sorely wounded,
which when Earl Ubbe saw he had him
brought to his own castle, where his own
leech might attend him. And as Havelok
lay that night suffering bitter pain Earl
Ubbe came into his room, and saw, as oth-
ers had seen, the bright light streaming
round his head and the red cross on his
shoulder, and he * saw, moreover, that
never were two peas like to. one another
than the stranger-to the dead King Kirka-
been. Then Ubbe fell at Havelok’s feet
and paid him fealty, for he knew him what
he was.
messengers far and wide, and summoned
all the knights and all the barons to come
and bow the knee to King Havelok. This
all men who heard the summons were glad
to do, for they wearied of the heavy bur-
dens laid upon them by the false King
Goddard. But some, being men of evil
ways, clung to Goddard, so that the people
were divided into tWO parts, and when the
right time came Havelok led his army
against Goddard and his men and made
them flee. But with his own hand Have
lok took the slayer of his sister and gave
him over to his barons, that they might
judge him. Nor of great length was the
debate; but Goddard was hung, and that
speedily.

So for a time Havelok abode with his
people and ruled over them wisely, and of
the three sons of Grimme he made three
earls, and gave them lands and cattle and
horses and gold, and all men did them
honor.

It came about at length that Goldborough
reminded her husband of the voice she had
heard in the night when she first knew
Havelok for the king that he was, and how
it had told her he was to rule over England
as well as Denmark. So Havelok made
ready the warships, and taking with him
his knights he crossed the sea and landed
at Grimsby. Here he first had built a
priory of Black Friars over the grave of
Grimme, and then he set forth to do battle
with Earl Godrich, who was already com-
ing to meet him with his army. And hard
by Grimbsy was a great fight fought and
Havelok won, while Earl Godrich and his
men were put to flight. Afterward, how-
ever, he was taken and slain; and when
the English knew who Goldborough was
and saw how valiantwas her husband they
acknowledged him for their king and her
for their queen, so that over two great peo-
ples Havelok reigned. Over Denmark he
set Earl Ubbe, while he himself abode in
England. . ‘

So for sixty years did Havelok and Gold-
borough reign in England, and were just
and even in their judgment. Great love
had each for the other, and this love grew
and never lessened till on the same day
they died and in the same grave were
buried. Sixteen sons and daughters had
they, among whom. when they died, they
divided the two kingdoms. And this is
the story told, in short, of .Havelok the
Dana—Horace Townsend in Montreal Star.
