0O My, BOUNDLESS FINISHED LAST Winner of the American Derby Badly Beaten by an Unnamed Colt. ONLY ANOTHER CONEY (SLAND DUMP St Leonards Was Favorite in the Realiza- tion, but Mad to Be Content With the Place. Wi n Outsider Took New Yonk, July 1.—The rich Realization stakes, contested at the course of the Coney Island Jockey club at Sheepshead Bay today, was won by Brown and Rogers' unnamed colt by Troubador, dam Sunbeam, after a most exciting finish with James K. Keene's St. Leonards second, Sir Walter third, whilo Boundless, the westorn crack ana winner of the great Am i Derby, was badly beaten, finishing next to lastand ten lengths back. ‘I'he beautiful weatherand the fine pro- gram presented by the track attracted an ‘enormous crowd. The management declared it was the biggestattendance of ihe meeting, excopting Suburban day. Tho track was superb. The day was fine and the crowd took very little interest in the first four races, as far as looking at them was con- cerned. The vittories of Life Boat, Hornpipe, Wolcott and Kazan caused liztlo enthusiasm except to thoso fort- tunate cnough to have tickets on the win- ners. After Kazan had disposed of his op- ponent, the crowd made a rush for the bet- ting ring to pick the winner of the Realiza tion. St. Leonards was installed favorite, even money being his opening price. Bound- less, who had como out of the west was sec- ond tavorite with twos about his chances. The flood of money was so_great that hi price was 8 1o 5 all around. Results: First race, seven-eighths mile: Rifeboat (13 0 ) nd, Ingot (30 10 1) thi . hree-fourths mile: Horn Pipo Taro (18 1 econd.

Women Go Tnsane from Drinking Milk of Cows Suffering with Hydrophobin, NEWPORT, Minn., July 1.-=The scare of rabies, which has been prevalent throughout the southern part of Wash- ington county, has killed some twenty dogs, seven cows and many horses and hogs. Miss Lola Danforth of St. Paul Park went insane a few days ago, and now Miss More, aged 20, is a maniac. The insanity of these two is ascribed to the fact that they drank the milk of cows that were aflicted with hydro- phobia and subsequently died from’ this malady. Cows and calves continue to die from the disease. The board of health is making an investigation. i 5 s ity Among Church and Charity Workers. The Young Men's Journal, which had begun to bo regardgd as ono of the estab- lished religious or semi-religious papers of Omaha, has gone the way of all the earth and is succcodod by a_new venture called the Figaro, published by the same company that formerly published the Young Men's Journal.

Diet tor opsin. A London physician widely known by his distic cure for corpulency and other diseases of malnutrition, prescribes the following diet for the sedentary when suffering from indigestion: At 7 o'clock bogin the day with a twmblerful of milk and soda water, a cup of beef tea orof bovril. At T:30a tepid or cold sponge bath and the skin rubbed thor- oughly with a coarse towel, or before the bath with a massage rubber, and a breakfast at 8:30 of a cup or two of weak tea without sugar, and a small quantity of .dry toast or stale bread,a broiled sole or whiting, the lean meat of a rure chop, or a fresh egg soft boiled, For a 1 o'clock luncheon he prescuibes ‘‘a few oysters and a cut of a loin of mutton, some chicken or game, or any othev light digestible meat; a little stale bread and a glass of dry sherry or moselle.” “Afternoon tea is to be eschewed as if it were poison, but at § or 7 o'clock the pa- tient may have a dinner, which shoula consist of plainly cooked’ fish, mutton, venison, chicken, grouse, partridge, hare, pheasant, tripe boiled in milk, sweet bread, lamb or roast beel and stale bread. Of vegetables he may have his choice of French beans, caulitlower, asparagus, vegetablo mavrow, or sea kule, and half a wine glass of cognac in wator,” If wine is used, ‘‘one or two glasses of dry sherry after dinner” are recommended, and cupful of beef tea and au biscut before going to bed may bo taken.” Brisk walking, cycling or rid- ing in moderation also form part of this pleasant treatment. Stuntord's Pass. Senator Stanford once had in his em- ploy an old servantnamed Jane Wallace, relates the San Francisco Bxaminer, After being with his family a number of years she had saved some money and went back to her old home in"New York. But the climate did not agreo with her, The doctors told her that if she came back to California she would get well. So she wrote to her old employer and askod him to furnish her \\it\x transpor- tation. Without thinking much abont it, but ready to oblige his old servant, ho wrote on a sheet of note paper, “Pleaso pass Jane from New York to !]u'.\m I'rancisco,” signed it and sent it to hor, Jane never stopped to think of the poculiar form of tho puss, or that it might not he recognized by some of tho railways over which sho was to travel. She knew that her old master owned two or three railroads, and she had an idea that he owned one all the way to New York, 8o she just got on the train, and when the conductor came around handed out the slip of lru{)m\ He looked atit, then at her, and didn't know what to do. Thoere was Leland Stanford’s signature, and he didn’t like to dishonor that, So he telegraphed for instructions, and his superiors told him to send the woman right through, and she came. But the incident is frequently talked about by railroad men even now, and langhed at a3 an illustration of the *‘old man's” ab- seatmindedness B —— Strip Ready to Be Oponed. Gururie, Okl, July 1.—The allotting agents have finished ‘allotting lands to the Pawnee Indians on their reservation in the Cherokeo strip and forwarded their reports to Wushmgum to be con- firmad and recorded. This eomplotes the greatest part of the preliminary work incidental to the opening of the strip to seitiement and there is now no {5000 veason why the proclamation should not be issued in a very few days. e The Souvenir Spoon, You can scarcely fly to the uttermost parts of the carth, in these United States, without meeting the souvenir spoon. o in a remote distriet in Maine at the sountry store you find a counter devoted ] » the” exhibition uf “Caseo Buy" and “Longfellow" spoons. seats of learning, with the fond hope that the frivolous coffee spoon may be os- caped, but the form of John Harvard will adorn the piece of silver with which you stir your coffee.

From Twonty-Six to Thirty of the Republ cans Favor 1ts Reponl, CHICAGO, July 1--The Inter Ocean, desiring to obtain the views of senators on the Sherman silver law, sent each a messago as follows: *“The opinion here is" almost universal that the so-called Sherman law should be repealed. The Iuter Ocean dosires to secure the opin- jons of the republican sonators on tho subject. Ploase wire us your views at the earliest opportunity.” ; It being midsummer comparatively few of the senators were found at home, and a number of them could not be reached at all. Most of these, however, are men whose views on the subject-are well known. Of the replies received only one really qualifies his position in fayor of the re- peal, namely, Senator Powers of ontana, Mr. Platt of Connecticut declined to sy positively just how he will vote, but there is little doubt but he will vote for ropeal. At least twolve republican senators can be set down as favoring such repeal, namely, Sherman of Ohio, Aldrich of Rhode Island, Cameron of Pennsylvania, Davis of Minnesota, Dawes of Massachusetts, Fry of Maito, Hale of Maine, Hiscock of New York, Hoar of Massachusetts, Morrill of Ver- mont, Proctor of Verinont and Wilson of Towa, which makes twenty-six repub- lican senators who may be set down as cortuinly favoring tho repeal of the Sherman law. The following may be considered doubtful: Dolph of Oregon, Felton of California, Manderson of Nebraska, Mitchell of Oregon, Perkins of Kansas and Pettigrow of South Daleota, making in all eight doubtful. The senators from Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming and Idaho may be sot down as opposing the bill, their constituents generally favoring free coinage. Thus it may bo sufoly cluimed that, out of forty- two republican senators, not less than twenty-six and most probably thirty will favor the repeal of the Sherman law provided it is notsaccompanied or made apart of what thoy may deem vicious and dangerous logislation. They aro nearly all men of lurge experience in both private and public affairs, and will consider the prosperity of the country and the welfare of the people as more important than political advantages. President Cleveland will not find them standing in the way of legislation veally wise, but its wisdom they will judge for themselves. e FAMILY SKELETON EXPOSED. Henry W. Root Makos Answer to the Charges of Henny W. Dixon. CHICAGO, July 1.—Henry W. Root has filed his answer to the complaint of Henry W. Dixon. Root is charged with having hypnotized Dixon and defrauded him of a large estate. The bill, which was filed last March, made other sensa- tional charges against Root, who is well known as a contestant of the Davis will case of Butte, Mont. The answer ex- poses the family skeleton. It covers 1 Root's entire business relationship with tho Dixons, Ho says Henry W. Dixon, the complainant, from boyhood until the time he was sent away from home by his father, Senator Dixon of Hartford, Conn., and placed in charge of Root in New York, was a common drunkard in the streets of Hartford; that about a weck before Senator Dixon died he sent for Root, and, discussing the unworthi- ness of his son, urged Root to protect the interests of his other son and [ daughters against any attacks, legal or otherwise, that might be made by James after his father's death; that the defendant kept this promise inviolate, reby incurring the hatred and ma- ous animosity of the complainant, at different times made propositions 10 Root to enter into an intrigue against his sisters for the enforcement of an un- just claim and for proving that his father’s will was obtained by virtue of the undue influence of his sisters, all of which Root refused to do. n 1874 Root effected a settlement with the complainant of all claims against the estate and paid him $15,000. Since that time the complainant has endeavored to enforce false claims, and because Root refused to aid him has pursued him (Root) with unceasing malignity. The answer states thav at the time of the death of his father, Henrvy Dixon, the alleged victim of h(pmnism, was loc in a ‘n-ivu.te asylum in Connecticut, where ho was sent by his father himself. Root charges Dixon with having at- tempted to levy blackmail and declares further that he has preyed upon his weak-minded brother by threats and other devices. e STEEL MILLS CLOSE, All the Men nt the Jollet Works Dise charged Last Night. Joragr, 111, July 1.—Superintendent Pottigrew notified the 300 men at work in the Joliet branch of the Illinois Steel company that their services would cease with last night and that the gates would be locked, Only nine men out of a lim- ited offica foreo will be kept. A yoar ago 2,700 men were at work, but the first of this year the mills were closed to admit of repairs and vlacing of new machinery in operation. This kept about 300 :nen at work and over $250,000 has been invested with the expectation that when all was completed the plant would be started. The company has about 6,000,000 invested here, but cannot oper- ate because of the low price for iron and steel. In 1890 the Joliet Rolling Mill company, before it was consolidated with the Illinois Steel company, formulated a premium system to give its employes their percentage of earnings, and up to date has o paid them £55,000, Joliet fesls the depression of trade to a grout extent. It 1s rumored also that the Lamber & Bishop Barb Wire mill, a branch of the nsolidated Wire and Steel company, shuts down, leaving 900 men out of work. When all work on the quarries had been commenced, and ami- cable settloment had been arranged, the ewployes threatoned to strike for $1.50 aday. It is believed that the failure is due to the failure of the operators and the Amalgamated association to come to an agreement, and if the scale is signed tho works will resume. e Altgeld is & MANSFIELD, O., July 1.—An examin- ation of the records in the probate court of Richland county shows that John Peter Altgeld, father of Governor Altgeld of Illinois, who came to this country in 1848, when the present goy- ernor was 3 months old, received his final naturalization papers Mavch 24, 1860.

Stantey tn Forthightly Review. In the old, old time, all this land, and, indeed, all the whole earth, was covered with sweet water. But the water dried up or disappeared somewhere, and the grasses, herbs and plants began to spring up above the ground, and some grew, in course of many moons, into trees, yreat and small, and the water was confined into streams and rivers, lakes and pools, and as the rain fell it kept the stroams and rivers running, and the lakes and pools always fresh, There was no living thing moving upon the earth, until ono day tlnox-c sat by one of the pools a large Toad. How long he had lived is not known, or how he came to be known is not known; it is suspected, however, that the water brought him forth out of some virtue that was in it. In the sky there was only the Moon glowing and shining —on the earth there was but this one Toad. It is said that they conversed to- gother,and one day the Moon said to him: ‘I have an idea. 1 propose to make a man and & woman to. l{\'a on tho fruits of the earth, for I believe there is rich abundance of food on it fit for such crea- tures.” “‘Nay,” said the Toad, ‘‘let me make them, for I can make them fitter for the use of the earth than thou canst, for I belong to the earth, while thou belongest to the sky.” “Verily,” replied the Moon, ‘‘thou hast the power to create tures, which shall have but a briel existence, whereas, if T make them, they will have something of my nature; and it 1s a pity that the creatures of one’s_own making should suffer and die. Therefore, oh Toad, T propose to reserye: the power of creation for myself, that the creatures ‘may be endowed with perfection and en- during life.” “Ah, Moon, be ot envious of the power which I share with thee, but let me have my way. I will give them forms such as I have often dreamed of. “The thought is big within me, and I in- sist upon realizing my ideas.” “As thou beso resolved, observe my words, both thou and they shall die. Thou I shall slay myself and end utterly; and thy creatures can but follow thee, being of such frail material as thou canst give them.” “'Ah, thou art angry now, but I heed thee not. amiresolved that the creatures to inhabit this earth shall be of my own creating.| i‘Attend thou to thine own empire in-thd sky.” Then the Moon tose:and soared up- ward, where with its Big shining face it shone upon all the world. The Toad grew great \vith his concep- tion, until it ripened A issued out in the shaped of twin beings, full-grown male and female. These were the first of our kind that ever t#od the earth. The Moon behel®thé bvent with rage, and left its place i“}. he Sky to punish the Toad, who had ‘infringed the privilege that he had thqug! g,mre,sarvo for him- self, He came: diveet: t0" Toad's - pool, and stood blazinglybrignt over it. =+ “Miserable,” he eotfed,~ *‘what hast "thou'done?” i+ 1199 &% o “Patience. Moon, I but exercised :my right and power. 1t'whs within me to do it, and lo, the deed Is done,” “Thou hast exalted thyself to be my equal in thine own esteem. . Thy conceit has clouded thy wit and obscured thy memory of the warning' T gave thee. Even hadgt thou obtained a charter from me to attempt the task, thou conldst have done 1o better than thou hast done. Even as thou axt inferior to me so they will be inferior of those I could have e _dowed this earth with. Thy creatur are pitiful things, mere animals without sense, without the gift of perception, or solf-protection. They see, they breathe, they exist; their lives can be measured by one round journey of mine. Were it not out of pity for them, I would evenlot them die. For pity’s sake I propose to improve somewhat. on what thon hast done: their lives shall be lengthened, and such intelligence as malformed be- ings as these can contain will T endow them with, for their guidance through a life that with all my. power must be troubled and sore. But as for thee, whilst thou exist, my rage is peril- ous to them, therefore to save thy kin I end thee.” 3 Saying which thé Moon advanced upon the Toad, and the flerce sparks from his burning face were shot forth and fell upon tho Toad until he was con- sumed. The Moon then bathed in the pool, that-the heat of his anger might be modorated, and the water -became so heated that it was like that which is in apot over a fire, and he stayed in it until tho hissing and bubbling had sub- sided. Then the Moon rosé out of the pool and sought the creatures of Toad, and when he found them he called them unto him, but they were afraid and hid themselves. At this sight the Moon smiled, as vou sometimes see him on fine nights, when he is a clear white and free from stain or blur, and he was pleased that Toad’s creatures were: afraid of him. *‘Poor things,” said he, “‘the Toad has left me much to do yet before I can make them fit to b the first of earthly creatures,” Saying which he laid hold on them and { bore them to the pool wherein he had bathed and which had been the home of Toad. He held them in the water for some time, tenderly bathing them and stroking tham here and there as a potterfiwith his earthen- ware, until he h&d moulded them into somewhat of thé shape we men and women possess now.J«The male became distinguished by breadth of shoulder, depth of chest, larger bones, and more substantial form; thefbniale was slighter in chest, slimmer#of waist, and the breadth and fulnessi'ofthe woman was midmost of the body"at the hips. Then the Moon gave then¥aies: the man he called Bateta, the woman Hanna, and he addressed them and said: “'Batota, soe this shrth and the trees, and herbs and plants$ ‘wna grasses; the whole s for thee and* #hy wife Hanna, and for thy ohildrew’whom Hanna thy wife shall bear unt® ¥ou. 1 have re- made thee greutl‘v that thou and thine may enjoy such things as thou mayest find needful and fit. In order that thou discover what things are not noxious but beneficial for thee, I have placed the faculty of diseernment within thy head, which thou must exercise before thou canst become wise. The more thou prove this the more wilt thou be able to perceive the abundance of good things the earth possesses for the creatures which are to inhabit it. 1 have made thee und thy wife as perfect as is neces- sary for the preservationand enjoyment of the term of life whieh by nature of the materials the Toad made thee of must needs be short. It is in thy power | to prolong or shorten it. Some things I must teach thee. I give thee first an ax. I make a five for thee, which thou must feed from time to time with wood, and the first and most necessary utonsil for daily use. Observe me while I make it for theo.” The Moon took some dark clay by the pool, mixed with wator, kneaded it, and twisted it around until its shape was round and hollowed within, and he cov- ored it with the embers of the fice and baked it, and when it was ready he handed it to thom, ““This vessol,” continued the Moon, “‘is for the cooking of food. Thou wilt put water into it, and place whatsoever edible thou desireth to eat in the water. Thou wilt then place the vessol on the fire, which in time will boil the water and cook the edible. All vegetables, such as roots and bulbs, are improved in flavor and give superior nourishment by being thus cooked. It will become n serious matter for thee to know which of all tho things pleasant in appearance aro also pleasant for the palate. But shouldst though be long in doubt and fearful of harm, ask and I will answer thee.” Having given the man and woman their first lesson, the Moon ascended to the sky, und from his lofty placo shone upon them and upon all the earth with a pleased expression, which comforted greatly the lonely pair. Having watched the ascending Moon until he had reached his place in the sky, Bateta and Hanna rose and trav- eled on by the beautiful light which he gave them until they came to a very large tree that had “falleh. Tho thick- ness of the prostrato trunic was about twico their height. At the groater end there was a hole, into which they could walk without bending. Foeling a desire for sleep Bateta lnfd his firo down outside near the hollowed entrance, cut up dry fuel and his wife piled iton the fire, while the flames fimw brighter and lit the interior. ateta took Hanna by the hand and en- tered within the tree, and the two lay down together., But presently botl complained of the hardness of their bed and Bateta, after pondering awhile, rose and going out plucked some fresh largo leaves of n{lflunt that grew near the fallen tree and returned laden with it. He spread it about thickly, and Hanna rolled hevself on it and laughed gleefully as she said to Bateta that it was 50ft and smooth and nice, and open- ing her arms she cried, ‘‘Come, Bateta, and vest by my side.” Though this was the first day of their lives the Moon had so perfected the un- finished and poor work of the Toad that they were both mature man and woman. Within a month Hanna bore twins, but one was male and the other female, and they wero tiny doubles of Bateta and Hanna, which so })]onsud Bateta that he ministered kindly to his wife, who through her double charge was pre- vented from doing anything els Thus it was that Bateta, anxious for the comfort of his wife and for the nour- ishment of his children, sought to find choice things, but could find little to please the dainty taste which his wife had contracted. Whereupon, looking up to the Moon with his hands uplifted, he cried out: “‘Oh Moon, list to thy creature Bateta! My wife lies languishing and she has a taste strange to me which T cannot sat- isfy, and the ohildren that have been born unto us feed upon her body and her strongth decreases fast. Como down, oh Moon, and show me what fruit or herbs will cure her longing.” The Moon heard Bateta’s voice, and coming out behind the cloud with a white swmiling face said: *‘It is well, Bateta; lo! I come to help thee.” ‘When the Moon had approached Ba- teta he showed the golden fruit of the banana—which was the same plant whose leaves had formed the first bed of himself and wife. “Oh Bateta; smell this fruit. likest thou its fragrance®” ‘It is beautiful and sweet. Oh Moon, if it be as wholesome for the body as it is sweot to smell my wife will rejoico 1 it.” Then the Moon peeled the hanana and offered it to Bateta, upon which he boldly ate it, and the flavor was so plaasant that he besought permission to take one to his wife. When Hanna had tasted it she also appeared to enjoy it: but she said, “Tell Moon that i need something else, for T have no strength and am thinking that this fruit will not give to me what I lose by these children.” Bateta went out and prayed to Moon to listen to Hanna's words—which, when he had heard, he said, ‘It was known to me that this should be, wherefore look ‘round, Bateta, and tell me what thou seest moving yonder.” ““Why, that is a buffalo.” “Rightly named,” replied Moon. ““And what follows it?” “A goat.” “Good again. “An antolope.” “*Excellent, oh Bateta; and what may the next be? YA sheep.” “Sheep it is, truly. Now look up above the treesand tell me what thou seest sailing over them.” ] see fowls and pigeons.” “Very well called, indeed,” said Moon, hese I givo unto thee for meat. The buffalo is strong and fierce, leave him for thy leisure; but the goat, sheep and fowls shall live near thce and shall sartake of thy bounty. There are num- rs inthe woods which will come to theo when they are filled with their grazing ‘and their pecking. Take any of them—either goat, sheep or fowl—bind it and chop its head off with thy hatchet. The blood will sink into the soil; the meat underneath the outer skin is good for food after being boiled or roasted over the fire. Haste now, Bateta; it is meat thy wife craves and she needs naught but meat to restore her strength. So prepare in- stantly and eat,” The Moon floated upwar, smiling and benignant, and Bateta hastened to bind agoat and made it ready as the Moon had advised. Hanna, after eating of the meat, which was prepared by boiling, soon recovered her strength and the children throve and grew marvelously. One morning Bateta walked out of his hollowed house, and lo! a change had come over the earth. Right over the tops of the trees s great globe of shin- ing, dazzing light looked out from the sky and blazed white and bright over all, Things that he had seen dimly be- fore were now revealed. By the means of tnis strange light hung up in the sky he saw the difference between that which the Moon gave and that new brightness which now shown out. For, without, the trees and their leaves seemed clad in a luminous coat of light, while underneath it was but a dim re- flection of that which was without, and to the sight it seemed like the colder light of the Moon. And in the colder light that prevailed below the foliage of the trees there were gathered hosts of new and strange orea- tures; some large, others of medium and others of small size. Astonished at these changes he cried, “Come out, oh Hanna, and seo the strange sights without the dwelling, for verily I am amazed, and know not what has happened.” Obedient, Hanna came out with the children and stood by his side, and was oqually astonished at the brightness of the light and at the numbers of crea- tures in all manner of sizes and forms which stood in the shade ranged around them, with their faces toward the place where they stood. “What may this change portend, oh Bateta?" asked his wife. How And what next?” Yy ‘beasts which you ‘‘Nay, Hanna, 1 know not. All this has transpired since the Moon departed from me." “Thou must perforce call him again, Batota, and demand the meaning of it, else T shall fear harm unto thee, and unto these children.” “Thou art right, my wife, for to dis- cover the meaning of all this without other aid than my own wits would keep us here until we perished.” Then he lifted his voioe, and cried out alond u\n\'nnl. and at the sound of his voice all the ereatur gathered in the shades looked upward, and oried with vheir voicos; but the meaning of their ory, though there was an infinite variety of sound, from the round beliowing voice of the lion to the shrill squoak of the mouse, was: Come down unto us, oh Moon, and explain the meaning of this great change unto us; for thou only who madest us can guide our sense unto the right under- standing of it." ‘When they had ended their entreaty unto the Moon, there came a voice from above, which sounded like distant thun- der, saying, “Rest ye where yo stand until the brightness of this new light shall have faded and yo distinguish my milder light and that of the many chil- dven which have been born unto me, when T shall come unto ye and explain,” Theroupon they rested each creature in its own place until the great bright- ness, and the warmth which the strange light gave, faded and lessened, and it was observed that it disappeared from view on the opposite side to that where it had first been seen, and also im- mediately after at the place of its disap- pearance the Moon was secn, and all over the sky were visible the countless little lights which the children of the Moon gave. Presently after Bateta had pointed these out to Hanna and the children the Moon shown out bland, and its face was covered with gladness, and he left the sky smiling and floated down to the earth, and stood not far off from Bateta, in view of him and his family and all the ereatures under the shade. “Hearken, oh Batota, ind ye creatures of prey and pasture. A little while ago ye have seen the beginning of = the measurement of time, which shall be divided here- after into day and night. The time that lapses botween the Sun's vising and its sctting shall be called day, that which shall lapse between its setting and re-vising shall bo called night. The light of the day proceeds from the Sun, s0 the light of night proceeds from me nd from my children, the stars; and as yo ure all my creatures, the vestful time Wherein ye sloep to recover the strength tost during the waking time, I have chosen that my softer light shall shine, and during the working time, where- with ye shall be daily waked by the stronger light, the Sunshall shine. This rule never-cnding shall remain. “*And whereas Bateta and his wife are the first of creatures, to them and their families, and kind that shall be born unto them, shall be given pre-eminence over all creatures made, not that they ave stronger, or swifter, but hecause to them only have T given understanding and a gift of speech to transmit it. Per- fection and everlasting life had also been given, but the taint of the Toad remains in the systcm, and tho result will ne death. Death to allliving things, Bateta and Hanna excepted. In the fullness time, when their limbs refuse to bear the burden of their bodies and their marrow has become dry. my first born shall return to me, and T 5}":1\11 absorb them. Children shall be born innufier- able to them uhtil families shall expand into tribes, and from here, as from a spring, mankind will outflow and over- spread all lands, which are now but wild and wold, ay, even to the farthest edge of the earth. *‘And hearken, oh DBeteta, the see sprang from the ashes of tho toad. On tho day that he measured his power against mine, and he was consumed by 1y fire, there was one drop of juice left in his head. Tt was a life germ which soon grew into another toad. Though not equal to the parent toad thou seest his work. Yon- dor beasts of prey and pasture and fowls his work. As fast as they were cun- »d by him, and uncouth and ungainly they were, I dipped them into Tond's pool and perfected them outwardly, according to their uses, and, as thou scest, each specimen has its mate. ‘Whoreas both thou and they aliko have the acrid poison of the Toad, thou from the parent, they in a greater measure from the child toad, the mortal taint when ripe will end both man and beast. No understanding or gift of speech have been given to them, and they are as in- ferior to thyself as the child toad was to the parent toad. Wherefore such qualities as thou n t discover in them thou mayest employ in thy services. Meantime let them go outeach to its own feeding ground, lair, or covert, and zrow and multiply, until the generations escending from™ thee shall hayd need for them, Enough for thee with the bounties of the forest, jungle and plain are the goats, sheep and fowls, At thy leisure, Bateta, thon mayest strike and eat such beasts as thou seest akin in custom to thesc that will feed from thy hand. The waters abound in fish thav are thine at thy need, the air swarms with birds which are also thine, as thy understanding will direct thee, *Thou wilt do wisely by planung all such odibles thou mayest discover pleas- ant to the palate and agreeable to thy body, but bo not rash in assuming that all things pleasing to the eye are grate- ful to thy inwards. “So long as thou and Hanna are on earth I promise thee my aid and coun- sel; and what I tell thee and thy wife thou wilt do well to teach thy children, that the mewmory of useful things be not forgotten—for after I take thee self I come no more to visit man, thy house now, for it is a time, as I have wfil the, for rest and sleep, At the shining of the greater light thon wilt waken for active life and work, and family care and joys. The beasts shall also wander each to his home in the earth, on the tops of trees, in the bush, or in the cavern, Fare the well, Bateota, and have kindly care for thy wife Hanna and thy childrén,” The Moon ended his speech and floazed radiant and gracious upward, until he rested in his place in llnu sky, and all the children of the moon twinkled for joy and gladness, as the pavent of the world entered his house, so brightly that all the heavens for a short time seemed burning. Then the sloon drew over him his cloudy cloak, and the little children of the Moon secmned to get drowsy, for they twinkled dimly, and then a darkness fell over the earth, and in the darkness man and beast retired, each to his own place, according as the Moon had directed. A second time Bateta waked from sleep, and walked out to wonder at the intense brightness of the burning 11¢m that made the day. Then he looked around him, and his eyes rested upon a noble-flock of goats and sheep, all of whom bleated their morning welcome, while the younglings pranced about in delight, and after curveting around, ex- pressed in little bleats the joy they felt at seeing thelr chief Bateta. His alten- tion was also called to the domestic fowls; there were red and white and spotted cocks, and as many colored hens, each with its own brood of chicks. The hens trotted up to their master— cluck, cluck, elucking—the tiny chicks, l following each 1ts own mother—cheep, vlmo{v, cheeping—while the cocks threw out their breasts and strutted grandly behind, and crowed in thelr trumpet throats “‘All hail, master.” Thon the morning wind rose and swayed the troes, plants, and grasses, and their tops bend‘ng before it bowed their salutes to the new king of the earth, and thus it was that man know that his reign over all was acknowledgod. A few months alterwards another double birth occurred, and a few months later there was still another, and Bateta remembered the number of months that intorvened between each event, and know that it would be a regular custom for all time. At the end of the eighteenth year he permitied his first born to choose a wife, and when his other children grew up he likewise allowed them to select their wives. At theend of ninet, years Hanna had borne to Batota 24 children, and there were grandchildron, and great-grandehildren, and countless great-gront-grandchildrén, and thoy Tived to an ago many times tho length of the greatest age amongst us now-a- days. When they were so old that it hecame a troublo to them to live, the Moon came down to the earth as he had promised, and bore them to himself, and soon after the first born twins died and were buried in the earth, and after that the deaths were many and more fro- uent. People ceased to live so long as their parents had done, for sicknoss, dissensions, wars, famines and accidents ended them and cut their days short, until they atlast forgot how to live long, and cared not to think how their days might be prolonged. And it has hap- vened after this manner down to us who now live. The whole earth has become fillod with mankind, but the dead that aro gone and forgotten are far greater in number than those who are now alive upon the earth. ‘Yo sce now, my friends what mise chief the Toad did unto all mankind. Had his conceit been less, and had he waited a litte, the good Moon would bave conceived us of a nobler kind than we now are, and the taint of the Toad had not cursed man. Whercfore abandon headstrong ways, and give not way to vashness, but pay good heed to the wise and old, lest ye taint in like wanner the people and causo the innocent, the young, and the weak to suffor. I have spoken my say. 1f yo have heard aught displeasing, re- member I but tell the tale as it was told unto me.” “Taking it as a mere story,” said Bar- ada, ‘it is very well told, but I should like to know why the Moon did not teach Bateta the value of manioc, since he took the trouble to tell him about the banana.” “For the reason that when he showed him the banana, there was no_one but the Moon could have done =o. But after the Moon had given goats and sheep and fowls for his companions, his quick in- telligence was suflicient to teach Batota many things. The goats became great pets of Butota, and used to follow him about. He observed that there was ¢ certain plant to which the goats flocke& with great greed, to feod upon the tope until their bellies became round and large with it. Ono day the idea came to him that if the goats could feed so largely on it without harm, that it might be also harmless to him. Where- upon he pulled the plant up and carried it home. While he was cutting up the tops for the pot his pet goats tried to eaf the tuber which was the root, and he tried that also. He cut up both leavef and root, and cooked them, and aftef tagting them he found them exceedingly good and palatable, and thounceforward manioe became a daily food to him and his family and from them to his chil- dren’s children, and 80 on down to us.” ““Verily, ‘that 'is of great intevest. ‘Why did you not put that in the story?” . ‘‘Because the story would then have noend. I would have to tell you of the sweet, potato, and the tomato, of the pumpkin, of the millet that was discov- ered by the fowls, and of the palm ofl nut that was discovered by the dog.” ““Ah, yes, tell us how a dog could have shown the uses of the palm oil nut.” ““It is vory simple. Batota coaxed a dog to live with him because he found that the dog preforred to sit on his haunches and wait for the bones that his family threw aside after the meal was over, rather than hunt for himself like other flesh-eating boasts. One day Bateta walked out into the woods, and his dog followed him. Afteralong walk Bateta rested at the foot of the stiaight tall tree called the palm, and there were a great many nuts lying on the ground, which perhaps the monkeys or the wind had thrown down, The dog after smelling them lay down and began to eat them, and though Bateta was afraid he would hurt himself,he allowed him to have his own way, and he did not se0 that they harmed him at all, buk that he seemed as fond as ever of them By thinking of this he conceived thay they would be no harm to him; and, after cooking them, he found that their fat improved the flavor of his vegetabies, hence the custom came down to us. In- deed, the knowledge of most things that we know today as edibles came down to us through the obsorvation of animals hf’ our earliest fathers. What those of old knew not was found out later through stress of hunger, while men were lost in the bushy wilds.” ‘When atlast we rose to retire to our tents and huts, the greater number of our party felt the sorrowful conviction that the Toad had imparted to all man- kind an incurable taint, and that we poor wayfarers, in particular, were cursed with an excess of it, in conse- quence of which both Toad and tadpole were heartily abused by all, B ol One of the rarest coins of the United States mintage was recently sold in Bos- ton for $1,200, Tt was a silver dollar of 1804, There are many stories about this issue of United States coin. It is said that there ave not more than ocight, at the most, known to be in existence. Ac- cording to the record of the United States mint 19,570 silver dollars were coined in 1804, Ode of the stories about the use of this mintagoe is that they were sent to Afriea to pay off American sail- ors who were engaged in a war on the Mediterranean with Tripoliat that time, It is said that the natives took a very great fancy to those coins and that the sailors parted with them for souvenirs. 1t was stated that later the chiefs of the tribes valued these dollars so highly as ornaments and tokens that lhu{ took great trouble to get glusnexnhm of them and that, partly through robbery or trickery, they succeeded in getting pos- ssion of al{ the dollars issued that year. The dollar of 1804 has a flying cagle with thirteen stars upon the re- verse while the face bears’ the date and the head of the goddess of liberty with floating hair.
