MICE IN FOLKLORE.

A Behemian Legend Declarés TW» Were Created *y the De~ ,),

Mire do nog play e g.cat purtin felizore. @yen the legend of the ‘Pied Piper” asso- ciates bod with Fite, says the London Standard, but vie redalls & {ow trses not uninteresting. A Bohcwius loug.iid de- clares that they Wore cicated by the devil, whereupon beneficence produced the cst. When Noah received a pair of thew into the erk, they straightway began to gnaw a hole throrgh the bottom, instigated by their unholy paicnt.

t They

ence of mind, stopped the leak wich his head. We shetUd conclude that mice are specially destructive in Bohemia, and 80 it proves to be. Both the white and gray varieties flourish there, but the former is thought inoffensive. When harvests are ripening, the peasants anxiously catch a white mouse, put it ina comfortable box upon the window sill, feed and pet it and call it ‘‘the luck of the house.’’ If satis- fied with these attentions, the animal will banish all its gray kinsfolk from the vicin- ity.

. that very interesting island of Ball, also, where Brahmanism and Buddhism inextricably mingled, survive, while all the populations round have long been Moslem, some fortunate mice receive like honor. The Balis catch a pair, clothe them in white linen and set them in a public place, where all the inhabitants of the village bow down before them; then they release the prisoners and straightway, with an easy conscience, trap and kill every mouse that can be found, for they are terribly destruo- tive in the ricefields. Mr. Fraser cites an old Greek charm in The Golden Bough, which is worth quoting. ‘‘Take a paper and write,’’ it says, ‘‘ ‘I adjure you, ye mice now present, neither to injure me nor to let others do so. I give you yonder field’ —specifying one not far off—‘and if ever I catch you here I swear by the mother of the gods I will tear you into seven picoes.’ Write this, and fix the paper on an unhewn stone in your field, taking care that the writing lies uppermost.’’ Thus a man directed all his mice to a neighbor's prop- erty, as some villa residents ut the present day pitch their snails over the garden wall. That proceeding has sometimes led most respectable houscholdera into the police court, frequently into direct quarrels, a8 in the grand instance of Cobbett and the learned Dr. Douce. Perhaps if Greek law reports were extant it would prove that this charm had caused some discomfort to men if not to mice,

How Celluloid Is Made.

A goo] deal of secrecy is maintained by the manufacturers of celluloid as to their respective roethods of manufacture. A method adopted by «a Berlin firm is to pour 100 purts of ether on 50 of cellodion wool and 25 of camphor and stir the covered mass in earthenware vessels with rubber sticks until a homogeneogs gelatinous mass is obtained, which is then rolled. At St Denis ethyl aloohol is said to be used. Apart from dyestuffs and other additions, the cel- luloid consists on an average of two-thirds of pyroxylin and one-third camphor. More camphor imparts an unpleasant smell and impairs the strength of the product. The chemical constitution of celluloid is still doubtful. The material is generally supplied in rods of 3 feet in length, or in plates of 30 by 12 inches, of a yellowish color, unless dyed. The dyes are generally added at the time the pyroxylin and cam- phor are mixed.

Striped articles are obtained by superpo- sition of plates of different colors and cross cutting of the compressed blocks. Cellu- loid cannot be expleded by heat, blows or friction. It burns, but the flame can easily be blown out. Jt leaves an ash skeleton, which continues to sparkle faintly for some time. It is soluble in ether alcohol

Elopements.

Elopements have entirely disappeared from fiction and almost entirely from high life, having, like the generic term “‘lady,’’ gone from the drawing room to the kitch- en. This was inevitable when modern conditions crushed out the romance, the postchaise being replaced by the livery sta- ble buggy, and the pursuit of the irate fa- ther becoming a matter of telegraphy and private detectives rather than of thunder- ing hoofs. The wellborn child of today, says a writer in Munsey’s, is prudent and worldly, preferring a sedate love, ushered Into a suitable establishment by Tiffany and ‘‘Lohengrin,’’ te the most thrilling escapade that ever set the country side gaping, and though one might rather en- joy the squire’s laughing oath of admira- tion and his lady’s uplifted hands and eycbrows, the sensational headlines of tha modern daily newspaper are less delicately flattering. Moreover, in America the young generation does so exactly as it pleases that there is seldom any excuse for stealth in carrying out its wishes. Ob- taining the parental consent has become a mere form, a gratuitous courtesy on the part of the happy lover, for the reason that the well bred girl of today seldom wants to marry any one she should not.

The Destruction of Sodom.

An attempt to give a scientific account of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah has been made by Dr. C. Dienerof Vienna. A study of the peculiarities of the Dead sea basin and of the site of the over-. whelmed ‘‘cities of the plain,’’ leads him to conclude that a violent earthquake wust at some time have occurred there whick affected the entire basin, and was accompanied by the inundation of the sbores. An old volcanic crater on the east- ern side of the sea was, he thinks, simul- taneously thrown into eruption through the disturbance produced by the earth- quake. These occurrences would supply the principal phenomena mentioned in tbe Scriptural account.

The Worst Part.

A professor of Trinity college, Dublin, overhearing an undergraduate making use of profane language, rushed at him fran- tically, exclaiming, ‘‘Are you aware, sir, that you are imperiling your immortal soul and, what is worse, incurring a fine of 5 shillings?’’—Household Words.
