A N YMPH OF FIRE.
Many years ago, before the Turk—may
the earth swallow him and oblivion his
memory—came into our fair country, when
all our people worshiped the blessed Christ,
there stood upon the slopes of Ararat, apart
from all other habitations, a little cottage
nestling in flOWers and embowered by the
trees of the forest.
Its inhabitants were an old man of Per-
sian face 'and priestly dress and a young
girl of whose appearance little was known,
for although most unmaidenly she roamed
the wooded slopes of the mountains, she
nevertheless fled from the presence of our
young Armenian hunters more swiftly
than the deer which they there pursued.
The women of our country, however, if
they do differ in reserve from their western
kinswomen, still have their full share of
curiosity, and are as artful as any in satis-
fying it. Thus they soon reported, with
unconscious malice, that the girl-shunned
comparison with our dark eyed country
maidens, With their ripened color and
raven hair, because her 'face' possessed no
beauty, but was pale as marble, and that
the wave of gold .which the hunters de-
scribed as following her flight was a mass
of unbound hair of the reddest sort!
Soon whispers spread ’the rumor that
this old man and his daughter were heathen
“Gragabashd”——as in our tengue we call
those whom you more pleasingly denomi-.
nate Guebers or fire worshipers.
Why he had chosen Ararat for his home
remained a mystery, yet there in the shadow
of that holy mount he lived and practiced
his dark rites. Surely no man but a stony.
hearted Gueber could dwell in such a fa-
vored spot and remain infidel. Above him,~
far in the blue deep of heaven, pointing
with its snowy finger higher and still
higher, until it would seem that the strong-
est eye must fail to follow its glittering in-
dent, and that the stiffest neck must bow
in awe of the Creator, rose the grand old
peakof Ararat. Down through thergreen

' . lboke’d not up, save to salute the sun in his
. meridian glory. '
. Here, in the very center of the world,
perchance on the very spot where the
Smoke of the first sacrifice of a purified
world arose to Noah’s God, he made his
unholy adorations to the same false deity
whom the wicked ,‘worshiped before the
avenging deluge swept them away. Even
when his god of a my was passing away
in the evening and the shadows of the
sacred mountain, immutable, eternal, fell
upon his home—even then unholy prayers
and chantings were heard by the chance
passer by, who crossed himself and hur-
ried on in terror. None dared put them-
selves in reach of his conjurations and all
shunned the neighborhood.
Then the war with our Persian oppres-
sors came on, and the righteously indig-
nant Armenians would have risen and put
him and his daughter to death, and sacri-
ficed his cottage to his god of fire, had they
not been restrained by the only friend the
old Persian could count in all the valley,
young Vahan, the bravest ' youth of the
realm, the son of our leader, Vartan.
I said that Prince Vahan was a friend of
the Persian; he was more truthfully the
lover'of his daughter.
outbreak of the war he had been hunting
on the slopes of Ararat. His thoughts had
wandered from the chase, and plunged in
reverie he had allowed his horse to drop
into a slow and noiseless walk over the
thick carpet of fallen leaves, the work of
all the centuries since the flood. Sudden-
ly he heard a voice, “What shall I suflfer to
rid my father of his terrible curse?” Turn-
ing toward the. place whence came the
voice he beheld standing underneath a pine
on a brook’s side, with hands uplifted to a
ray of sunlight which streamed down
through the green roof above, a being who
seemed to Vahan’s deluded eyes the ideal
of all beauty, purity and truth.
‘th, spirit of the earth, or air, or light
or‘water, for thou seemest to be the soul of
all,” he cried; “oh, dryad of the pine, or
naiad of the brook, or sylph of the sun-
beam, what can Vahan do to reverence, or
if thou perchance be mortal, to aid thee?”
Perhaps it was his noble face and earnest
mien as well as poetic language—for he
had been reared in Athens—that assured
her that he was not of the rough peasant
lads from whom she had often fled, or per-
chance the beautiful witch had already be-
gun to practice her evil enchantments; be
this as it may. she listened to his words
and‘told her name and condition.
Thenceforth Vahan spent his days in
hunting and his nights in dreaming of the
maiden whom he daily met by the brook
under the great pine on the mountain side.
His dreams were of a maiden fair and holy
featured as the Virgin, and rich in a flood
of hair, fine as though spun of sunbeams
and soft as Magdalen’s locks that wiped
the feet of our Lord. .
.Oh, the craft of a wicked woman! How
she seemed to love him! Then the Persian
war began. [How her tenderness increased!
The youth of Armenia hastened with ar-
dor to the frontier, but Vahan still wasted
his days in the chase of love. His parents
upbraided him, his companions entreated,
the old men reminded him of his former
deeds and the present .need of his valor to
lead the Armenians to victory; but still he
would not go. Often he said, "I will go
to-morrow;” but to-morrow found him still
delaying by the brook, and again to-mor-
row found him on his steed pricking fast
to the mountain cottage, earnestly resolved
to take that farewell embrace which an-
other to-morrow again renewed. Perhaps
at that time the girl really loved Vahan,
and wished him safe from the dangers of
war; yet the outcome seems to indicate
that love for her fellow countrymen, the
Persian Guebers, prompted her allure-
ments to delay the departure-of the young
Aimenian hero, the flower of the army.
Entreaties of parents and- friends at last
prevailed, and Vahan departed to the war.
Before his coming the Persians had been
almost uniformly victorious, but now the
bravery and generalship of the new leader
aroused the despairing‘Armenians to re-
newed courage, and the tide of victory'was
Meanwhile spies had discovered in the
mountain cottage the cause of the prince’s

fire worshiper, containing If; deuce o. gthe
most diabiilical treii‘chery, therevelatioif of
all of Viilian’s military {'plans, which,~~in
his confidence and enthusiasm, he must
have revealed to the old man. Last of all
there was a plot for luring the prince into
ambush.
The courier was slain at once, and the
old man and his daughter dragged before
the court of Armenia. The father confessed
everything, and with erectxform and flash-
ing eyes even boasted of the partial success
of his plans. But he begged piteously for
the life of his daughter, and said that she
knew nothing of the plan for Vahan’s be-
trayal, and that even he loved the young
man so well that he had planned capture
where death would have been more easily
accomplished. So great was the people’s
love for their prince that their rage knew
no bounds. The old man was condemned
to death by fire. He stood in the midst of
the. flames more like a martyr than the ac-
cursed sorcerer that he was, and cried as
the fire raged about him, “0 spirit of fire!
I thank thee that my sin against thee is
purified in thine embracesl”
Such was the force of the father’s en-
treaties, and such was the saintly beauty
of her own pure face, that some would
have freed the maiden. But manya beauty
among the court ladies, on whom Vahan
had ever looked with disdain, could scarce
restrain her nails from plowing that
face, whose crime in her eyes was not
that it had caused Armenia the loss of
many victories, but that it had won the
love of Vahan. She was condemned to
the milder death by the sWord, though
many thought her a viler magician than
her father, so wickedly fair was her en-
chantment of beauty, for our priests tell
us, in the words of the Holy Book, that
the devil often appears as an angel of
light. ..
While she' lay in prison, awaiting execu-
tion, Vahan heard of her condition. Curs-
ing her judges and betrayei's, he too
horse for the capital. 'He rode like the
wind, night and day, and even his Koord-
ish mare, that, under a forayer, had jour
neyed for three days without food or rest,
whose limbs were like marble in their
firmness, dropped dead on the second
morning. Four horses died beneath the"
furious rider, and still he came too late.
On the morning of his arrival the maiden
had been brought into the public square,
and taken upon the platform constructed
in its center. None of the spectators had
ever seen so beautiful a being. Down
from her queenly head, about the fairest
of faces and loveliest 30f forms, rippling
even to.her feet, fell the richness of her
hair, soft and silken as the spider’s thread,
and golden as the sunlight. This glorious
witchery the executioner severed first to.
allow the free sweep of his sword. The
vindictive queen, Vahan’s mother, ‘was by
her side, and gathered up the locks as they
fell. Then she scattered them to the
winds, and laid a curse upon them, saying:
“-0 gleaming locks of the Fire Witch, that
like amarsh light would have lured my
son to destruction, be ye scattered to the
four corners of the world, to be a witness
to Armenian and to Persian, to Christian
and to unbeliever, of the wickedness. of
this enchantresa! A curse be on you, that.
ye rest not forever, either upon the earth
or sea or in the heaven, that the memory'
of her treachery may ever remain!” '
As she ended down the valley in the dis-
tance came Vahan, urginga wearied steed
and crying, “Innocent! innocent!” But
the executioner was deaf to all commands
save the queen’s, and blind to all beauty,
even that of a saint, for saint the maiden
surely seemed, with the sham locks of
gold surrounding her sorrowful face as
the halo hovers over the weeping Mother
Mary. The great two handed sword whis-
:tled through the air, and the enchantress
was no more. The queen and all that were
there fled like cowards from the frantic
curses of Vahan. All alone did he mourn
over her body, and then departed to throw
away his life in desperate battle with the
Persians. He and Vartan, his father, per-
ished on the day when Armenia was freed.
Still, over the hills and valleys, forests
and streams, float the silken hairs on
which the curse was laid. They rest not,
neither on the earth below nor in the
heaven above, but float forever between
them, a memorial to all the world of the
saint like enchantress, and the little Ar-
menian children say, as they see the long
golden threads stretching over the mead-
ows in motionless suspense, “There floats
the Voki-Vosdein, the spirit spider thread
that would have caught Vahan in its
meshes!” ,
But in Persia they revere the old man
and his daughter as patriots and martyrs,
and look on the gossamer as a memorial
of that virtue which triumphs over love
and death itself.
Yet, however that may be, whether she
was angel or fiendish enchantress, the Ar-
menians to this day cannot abide red hair.

Expensive Pluygolng.
Recently a Bavarian paper gave an im-
pressive account of the experience of an
English family at Oberammergau. The
worthy paterfamilias appears to have tele-
graphed from Paris for lodgings and tick—
ets for the play. He received in reply a
promise of both. He came and stopped
for two days, and was then presented with
a bill amounting to 437 marks, or nearly
£22, and made up of items like these: Sit-
ting room, three days, 60 marks; two bed-
rooms with six beds, 180 marks; bed for
courier, 15 marks; bed for maid, 21 marks;
board for six persons, two days, 72 marks;
twelve dinners, at 4 marks, 48 marks; fire
and lights, 12 marks; board for courier and
‘maid, 16 marks, and so on.
On the top of this the maid fell ill
through sleeping in a damp bed, and her
complaint was pronounced to be typhus,
and this resulted in another claim for 500
marks—I presume as compensation for the
infection. Finally, having thus paid nearly
1,000 marks for their two days’ fun, the
family never got any tickets and left with-
out seeing the play.

On one occasion a rather dreary Evangel-

of the Blessed Virgin. He added that he
would prove that the V Mary wasnot
one whit superior to own mother.

Dull Routine Duty and Short Leave of
Absence—He Must 30' Silent and Sub-
missive Always—A Man to Whom the
Ship Is Everything—His Habits.
Landsmen imagine a sailor’s life a very
pleasant one, particularly aboard of a man-
,of—war. where there are, as they express it,
so many to do the little work required to
be done. Because they go aboard awar-
ship while in port and see the sailors
lounging around the decks, or engaged in
various pursuits for their own benefit or.
amusement, they get the idea into their
heads that all in the world a sailor has to
do is to “kill time” in the manner most
amusing or beneficial to himself. How
mistaken these worthy people are in their
estimate of what comprises the duties of a
“blue jacket” while on shipboard!
On the whole a sailor’s life is not a very
enviable one, when we take into considera-
tion the fact of his being a slave inthe
mild sense of the word. He is not allowed
to express his opinions on anything deemed
a subject that comes within the limit of
naval authority. He must often suffer un-
complainingly an injustice to himself, as
even a murmur might complicate matters
and tend to make things disagreeable for
him. If he wishes to go ashore he must
“dance attendance” on the executive of:
ficer, or the privilege of going will be denied
him. Should a parent, brother, sister'or
wife, if he has one, be in need of money he
has the greatest of difficulties in procuring.
it, although it is his own.
‘ For a man whose mind is in keeping with
its surroundings—whose thoughts never
wander beyond a cable’s length—whom
ideas of a life of freedom' are ratherzob-
scured, the navy is the place. But’fora
man who is ambitions to becomesomey
thing more than the servant of Servants,
and whose energy impels “onward and up-
ward” with an irresistible force, it is not. ».
ROUTINE 0F DRILL. .
The routine of drill, which requires some
time to perform, may be interesting to
some, and for the benefit of those who may
not know it I shall enumerate its various
branches: The manual of arms, which is,
drill with rifles, how to handle, load and.
fire with precision and celerity being yin-j
eluded; revolver drill, single‘sticks, the
parties, thrusts, guards used in broad—'-
sword fencing being taught, and great gun
drill, which nobody cares to participate in;
also sail drill, which consists of bending
and unbending sails, clawing up, reeflng
and furling. Light spar adrill, .sendi’n’g
up. and down topgallant - and royal
yards and topgallant yards. .Heavy
spar drill, sending up Or down top-
sail: and lowering-yards and topmasts.
Boat drill, manning and arming boats;
drill under sail, under oars. Abandoning
ship, as incase of her sinking or being coir
sumed by fire. Clearing ship for. action,
which consists of stripping ship tolower.
masts, hoisting out and lowering all boats
preparatory to towing them astern. ' Mak-
ing a barricade of hammocks as a protec-
tion for sharpshooters; casting loose .all.
guns, the crew providing themselves with
everything necessary—battle axes, cut-
lasses, revolvers, etc. Life boat drill; gen-
eral quarters; fire quarters. . .
GOOD carious ALWAYS.
Considering these things as trivial agailor
may be considered as being treated airly
well on board a man-of-war. .His health is
looked after with great concern by the
oflicers, he is notrequired to work in rain,
severe heat or cold if it may be avoided.
Great care is taken that he shall have
plenty of good warm clothing, which must
lways be kept clean and well aired. The
ood is of the second best quality obtain.
able, and when prepared is such as few
would deem unpalatable, its only fault
being a scarcity rather than a surfeit, which
is to be regretted, as sailors are blessed
with a good appetite. .
There are some men who would be will-
ing to yield up the ghost were they de-
prived of the privilege of treading the
decks of a man-of-war. She is their home,
wife, children, kindred—everything in the
world to them. Nor is it to be wondered
at, since they have never worked a day on
land in the whole course of their lives, and
have never known a home beyond their
ship.
There is a man in the United States
navy today who has been a “blue jacket”
for upward of sixty years. Admiral Porter
and he were boys together in the service.
Though the winters of nearly three-
quarters of a century have come and gone
since his birth, he is as hale and as active
today as many a man whose sum total of
years does not exceed thirty. He—being
the oldest man in the service, and having
performed more than one heroic deed dur-
ing the Mexican, Seminole and civil wars,
for he participated in all three—is allowed
great privileges, and may come and go
whenever he pleases.
He has not a relative living in the world
that he knOWS of. He has always been, as
he expresses it, “a bird alone.” He was
not more than 12 years old when he
entered the navy, and a man-of—war has
been his home ever since. He is now a
shipped boatswain’s mate, and his pay
amounts to between $45 and $50 per month.
He hasbeen most severely wounded in two
or three engagements, as the scars still
visible are testimony, and they are of no
delicate description either, but quite the
reverse.
After supper and until “pipe down”
(9 o’clock) is the time for jollification of all
sorts aboard a man-of-war. In fact this is
the only time the tars may call their own,
and they use it to advantage in entertain-
ing and amusing themselves. There can
be seen three or four groups singing as
many different songs at one time, each tar
exerting his vocal powers to the best of his
ability. Others may be seen thronging
around some old, weatherbeaten son of
Neptune, listening to his recital of things
that have never occurred.
To a merchantman a war ship is certainly
preferable, but to imagine life aboard one
is all sunshine is a mistake indeed. There
are duties as well as pleasures, and unfor-
tunately the duties are in the majority—
duties which must be performed by the
sailor no matter how distaseful they are to
him, and as he is only a slave, why should
he not obey the commands of his master?—

A Playful Rattlesnake.
John A. Theroux, of Sprague, 0111., re- _

and for weeks the children have been tell—
ing their parents that there was a big snake
in their playhouse, saying that when they
were playing the snake would come out
and run around the playhouse and then
run away again. Finally Mr. Theroux’s
little son James came running to his
mother, saying, “Come to the playhouse
and see if I don’t know what a snake is.”
Mrs. Theroux wentto see if there was
anything there, and was greatly astonished
to see a big rattlesnake calmly sunning
itself on the floor in the doorway. She
picked up a big bowlder and smashed his
snakeshi p. When Mr. Theroux came home
he went out and found the snake dead, and
cut oil his rattles, of which there were

For instance the treatment pursued by
special physicians who treat indigestion,
stomach and liver troubles only, was ob-
tained and» prepared. The treatment of.
other physicians, celebrated for curing
catnrrh was procured, and so on till these
incomparable cures now include diseases
of the lungs, kidneys, female weakness,
rheumatism and nervous debility. . T
This new method of “one remedy for
one disease” must appeal to the common
sense of all sufferers, many of whom have
experienced the ill effects, and thoroughly
realize the absurdity of the claims of Pat-
ent Medicines which are guaranteed to
cure every ill out of a single bottle, and the
use of which, as statistics prove, has ruin-
ed more stomachs than; alcohol. A cir-
cular describing these new remedies is
sent free on receipt of stamp to pay
postage by Hosp'ual Remedy Company!

Hold It To The Light.
The man who tells you confidentially
just what will cure your cold is prescrib-
ing I{emp’s Balsam this year. In the
preparation of this remarkable medicine
for coughs and colds no expense is spared
to combine only the best and purest in-
gredients. Hold a bottle of Kemp’s Bal-
sam to the light and look through it;
notice the bright, clear look ; then compare
with other remedies. Price 50c. and $1.
How l'r Was—At the battle of Gettys—
burg I was shot through the~ lift leg and
was sent tolhc hospital. The army sur—
geons relieved me 'but pronounced my
case incurable. It discharged pieces of
bone, and for yearsl have sufiered , with
a running sore. I tried everything which
my “mind means would allow and exper-
ienced no relief until I tried Sulphur
Bitters. I am now almost well and shall
continue their use.—Old Soldier.
George M. Walter, messenger of the
Adam's’ Express 00., Baltimore, Md., says:
“Having us'ed Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup for
- theipast ten years in my family; I "wish to
say: that I consider! it the. best cough
syrup I ever used. It has cured,- my child:-
-ren of crou‘p several -t'mes and saved me
