_ -So omon Yewel], cu'REo " About seven or eight months ago I ,' was attacked by a cough, and at once began to take a medicine much adver- tised as an expectorant, and continued using it until I had taken about six bots tles. Instead of giving me relief, it only made me worse. I tried several other remedies, but all in‘ vain, and I don’t . ~ think I had three whole nights’ rest during my illness. I began to think that Consumption had laid hold of me, and my hopes of recovery were all gone. I was a mere skeleton, but a friend of mine, who had been some time away, 'called' to see me. He recommended me to try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, and kindly sending me a bottle, I took it, but with little hopes of recovery. - I am thankful, how- ever, to say that it cured me, and I am to-day enjoying the best of health.”— J.

'4 ' _- apnea?” ’ The Beautiful Legend Connected with the . Dedication of St. Sophia. A legend connected with the Church ' of St. Sophia' 1s recalled by “An Idle Woman in Constantinople,” and as it contains 'a moral fragrant of truth it may well be held in perpetual remem- brance. When the basilica was fin~ 'ished Emperor Justinian gave or~ ders that an inscriptiion in letters of gold should be placed about the dome: “Justinian dedicates this church to the glory of God.” But on the day of the public opening the emperor looked up at the dome and saw, with amazement, that the inscription ran: “Euphrasia dedicates this church to the glory of God.” “What' 1s the meaning of this mock- ery?” he asked, pointing upward, and turnmg to the patriarch sitting beside the throne he said: “Did I not com- mand you to have my name ‘cngraven on the dome?” “Who is Euphrasia?” called the patriarch. “Who knows a woman bearing such a name? If anyone can answer let him spea .” From the priests to the lowest of the assembled thousands the question: “Who is Euphrasia?” ran round the church. N 0 one answered. At length, while the emperor sat mute and amazed, a. miserable fellow who cleaned the marble floor stepped forth and said: “Imperial Caesar, to whom I am un- worthy to raise my eyes, I know a woman with such a name, but she is almost bedridden. She lives in a little house'ncar one of the walls of the church.” . “Bring her hither,” commanded the emperor, and straightway pages and Chamberlains rushed out and soon re- appeared carrying an aged woman who trembled in everv limb. “Is your name Euphrasia?” asked the emperor. “Yes, mighty emperor, it' 1s.’ “What do you know of that inscrip« tion?” and he pointed aloft to the large letters on the vault. “Nothing, my lord, nothing!” “But you see your name on the church. It stands there instead of mine. What have you done toward the building of the church?” “Great kmg, nothing. My lord mocks his poor servant.” “Not at all,” replied the emperor. “They tell me you live near. Think! Have you done nothing, spoke noth- ing, thought nothing to give you this . claim?” . “Majesty,” she said, “there is a. little act, but it is so small I am ashamed to trouble my lord with itsmention.” “Speak, I command you,” said J us- tinian. “Fear nbt. Tell me all.” Then she told how, as she lay on her bedin her little house, she heard with sorrow the travail of the oxen and mules, carrying the marble and brick and beams up the steep hill, and her heart was sore within her; and how. when she grew better, the, thought struck her: > “Who knows if I cannot do some thing to ease their pain. the poor dumb beasts, so patient in thei1 woe! At least I will try.” So she took her bed and bore it into the read and scattered the straw from ‘it on the steep ascent. It was but a little, but 10! as she worked, 'the straw seemed to grow and multiply and cover the whole road, and from that time the oxen passed pleasantly with their loads, and she heard no more distress. Thetears were in Justinian’ 5 eyes, and he said in a gentle voice: “Let the name of Euphrasia stand; she is more worthy than I, for Of her little she gave all she had.” A Terrible \Ve’npon. The sting of a bee is composed of two spears of polished horn held in a sheath. One gets a notion of the H sharpness of the weapon by a very simple comparison. The edge of a ve1y keen razor, when examined under a good microscom, appears as broad as the back of a thick knife, rough, un- even and full of notches. An exceed- ingly small and delicate needle simi- larly scrutinized resembles a rough bar from a smith’s forge. The sting of a bee, viewed through the same in- strument, showé’ a flawless polish, without the least blemish or inequali- ty, ending in a point too fine to be dis- cerned. In the act of stinging the spears, each of which has nine barbs and is grooved with a channel for the passage of the poison, emerge fromthe sheath. One of them is plunged into the flesh of the victim, the other fol- lowing, and alternately they penetrate deeper and deeper. The venom is forced to the ends of the spears by much the same process as that which carries the poison from the tooth of a snake when it bites. A Queer Legal Document. , One of the most remarkable legal papers on file in the archives of the world' is one now in the national mu- seum of Paris labeled “Sentence on a hog, executed by justice, in the copy: ,hold of Clarmont-Avin, and; strangled upon a gibbet at that place.” It is sealed with red wax, kept under a glass case, bears date June 14, 1491, and reads as follows: “-* * H We, the jury, in detestation and horror of this crime, and in order to make an ex- ample and so satisfy justice. have de- clared, judged, sentenced, pronounced and appointed that the said hog, now detained in the abbey as a prisoner, shall by the executioner be hung and strangled en a gibbet, near the gallows which stands within the jurisdiction of the monks whose names are h reto' appended, being near the copyho d of Avin. In witness of Which we have sealed this present with Our seals. ” Following the above are the signatures of the' Jurors and the prefect of the de- partment de l’Ainse. . . ~- The Ingenuity of Ants.

For an uneducated, half-wild and justly mistrusted people’ like the gyp— ‘ sies, it is almost a necessity of exists ence that the several tribes should 1 have some means of communicating witheach other which . would attract very little attention on the .part Of out~ siders—information, warnings, direc- tion, etc. Let us give an example. In the be- ginning of September, 1890, a. gypsy family passed through the 'village of N.. in Germany. Not far from the point at which they left the village the road divides into three branches, and any other gypsy or tribe of gypsies fol- lowing their tracks would look for a “sign” here. ‘ There'is a tree at the fork of the roads, and the gypsy’s eye is quick to detect four long. flat stones piled one on the other. They are so covered with dirt that the ordinary traveler would hardly disturb them, and it would most likely escape his notice that each stone has a. horse hair tied around it. Near at hand a little branch with three twigs is stuck into the , ground, and the middle. twig points in the direction of the right-hand road. A small piece of leather is nailed on the tree, .and is seen on inspection to have several stitches of red wool, 11. square hole and two round holes. A small charred elder stick with a straw and two red threads looped together is stuck behind the leather, along with a small birch twig with two loose red threads. The gypsy, however, in search of a “sign” reads the message without diffi- culty, and thus interprets it for the benefit of his comrades: “The'chief of the tribe of our pres decessors informs us that his wife is dead, his son arrested, and that we must all be on our guard, as the au- thorities charge us with theft. We have taken the road to the right, and, passing through the next town to the second village beyond, we purpose re- maining there until September 16.” Each tribe has its own distinctive mark or totem, which, in the case in point, was the horse hair. The four stones bound with horse hair signified that the communication was intended. for members of the communicant’s own tribe and no other. The direction of the middle twig in- dicated the road taken; the long stones, too, were so laid as to indicate the direction of route. The charred elder twig with straw signified death; the red color is the sign of the chief, and the two knotted threads signify the chief’s wife. The birch branch denotes an arrest, and the two separate red threads signify that it is the son of the chief who has been arrested. Three threads would signify a grandson. ' The employment of skin or leather signifies a request to meet for commun- ication on important matters. The stitches give the time Time is reck- oned from the three high feast days and from St. Michael’s day as fpllows: The long stitches. show the number of Sunday’s since the. first great feast, and the square stitches the week day s. The piece of leather in this case had sixteen long stitches and two square stitches. It' IS, therefore, the Tuesday following the sixteenth Sunday after Easter, that was the 16th of September, which jwas fixed as the limit of stay. The square holes in the leather sig- nify.towns,- the round holes villages. Beyond the next town a smaller piece of leather will be feund attached to a tree, but there will be no square hole in it, and the reader knowsthat the second village on the road will be the meeting place. Any kind of filth is employed to p1event the signs being molested. As a charred elder stick signifies death, so a green one signifies sickness. Several notches in the twig, with straw, signifies a broken arm; without straw, a broken leg. A fir twig signic fies an engagement; a willow twig with a red or white thread the birth of a boy or girl; an oak twig, the return of a. messenger to his family. A bunch of dog’s hair is an intimation to those fol- lowing to~change their course. Small glass fragments announce the death of some domestic animal of the tribe; large fragments that a domestic ani- me] has been stolen, or stray ed away. Clean fragments denote a. horse, d-irty fragments a pig. Of the charcoal marks made by gyp- sies on buildings, a cross indicates “nothing to be got there;” a double cross that you may look out for harsh treatment; a cross within a circle intio mates a desire for revenge on the occu~ pants of the house; a. circle alone, that presents were, received there; a triangle, that money.may be had fortune telling; two serpentine lines, that the mistress would like children; a triangle including a. serpentine line, that the master of the house is dead. In this manner the )vande1‘er manages to communicate a. great deal of infor- mation to thOSe who come after, which the fortune tellers of the second group can utilize to the astonishment of the people, who little suspect that their affairs are published on their house walls. On the march two whistles and two owl hoots intimate to the-approaching gypsy that he is near a suitable resting place; a whistle alternating with a. cuckoo call is a signal of danger. Rapid waving of both arms is equally a signal of danger. Raising the left arm signi~ fies “the road is open,” raising the right warns to caution. In the presence of a stranger, the movement of the little finger of the right hand informs the others that the . stranger is looking for stolen goods. The betrayal of these signs by gyp- sies to non-gypsies is very fare. Even excommunicated gypsies are very care- ful. neither to betray the secrets of their people nor to destroy their sign- writing, being convinced that they would thus render themselves liable to evil demons and misfortunes—N.
