Mystery of the Popular Hovel.
“We are apt to think,” says the New
York Evening; Post, “that the selling of
poor novels by the huadred thousand
is a modern phenomenon In the book
trade; but, in fact, it is pot entirely
new.’ In one of the group of Haw
thorne's letters he says: ’What is the
mystery of these Innumerable editions
of “The Lamplighter* and other books
neither better nor worse?-worse, they
could not be, and better they need pbt
be when they sell 1 by the hundred

THE MAN IN THE MOON.
Ev
thofne *a little before this time had | ers there is a superstition which says
1 'lime Curious nnd Varied Beliefs as
to Ills Identity.
According to Fratorlus, the muu In
the moon Is the patriarch Isaac, carry
ing the bundle of sticks which were to
be lighted to sacrifice his own body ou
the mountain top. Dante belieyes him
to be Cain, carrying n bundle of thorns,
the meanest offering his lands afforded,
as" k present to God. In Iceland the
people claim that they can see the
face of 4^ Jl ! u In the moon and that of
~ In the suir. Among the Frieburg-
spoken or himself ns the least read au
thor In America. It shows, too, that
the mystery, of the popular novel was
as great then as it Is today. One could
understand why a thrilling tale of J
cheaply concocted ndveuture might
captivate the multitude, but the curi
ous point 4s that some of the high soil-
simply dull and- respectable.,
These things, too, lie ou the knees of
the go<ls.”
A Stitch Iu the Side.
Vstitch ill the side" is the.popular
and {expressive term for a sharp stab
felt in the side, an acute spasm, pro
ducing pain, 4 like the thrust of a needle,
which Is felt especially In the inter
costal muscles. Probably its simplest
form Is due to muscular cramp con
nected with respiration and frequently
brought on by violent exercise after a
full meal, in which thevy Is a greater
accumulation of carbonic add than "can
be readily assimilated or carried off.
Such slight stitch is often removed by
stooping; hence the old time popular
remedy was to make the sign of the
cross upon the foot.
Such a stitch is also associated with
pleurisy, and theu it^ Is caused by a
stretching of tbc^ not uncommon ad
hesions between two pleuritic surfaces.
At other times the source is neuralgia.
In any case to persist In muscular ex
ertion when the stitch Is severe Is to
take a great risk.
,Cre«lIt With Pawnbroker*.
That meu cun and do establish a line
of credit with pawnbrokers is a^prop-
osltlon beyond bollef to the .man who
ha8 been offered only Jjfco on a watch
that cost $To. The fact remains, how
ever, that all pawnbrokers have fa
vored patrons on their books who can
always get the amount of money they
want upon almost any old thing that
takes the shape of jewelry or other
"hocknble” personal property. A
eal sport tried to raise $50 bn his sp4lt
second stop watch the oilier day and
Was offered $30 less than the value of
the case melted. A friend who has
an c.KtiibHshcd credit took the some
.watch to the same pawnbroker nnd
got $75 on it without a question be
ing asked. It was the man. not the
w:\tclf, tlgit made the lonn possible.--
Philadelphia Record! , *
that the marks and spots on the moon’s
face are the^ outlines of the traitor
Judas Iscariot, holding Ida hand over
his face while sneezing Just prior to
hanging himself. This last belief ac
cords with the old Frankish legend
which says that there was no spot on
Luna’s bright face until after the time
of the eruelfixtoh of Christ. Still an
other story tells us that in the time of
the creation God threw an offending
angel against the face of the fnoon.
while another is to the effect that the
moon witnessed the creation of Adam
and Eve aud took an impress of their
features on his surfneo, Intending to
people his 6wn land with similar iw-
ings. When he essayed to imitate God’s
works, he made nothing blit a slimy
serpent. Which since that daj’ has con
tinued to fold and unfold its mighty
coils in full view of. the descendants
of the God created beings.
THE TOMB OF CAIN.
S<*tt!ntf Her Ilfcltt.
Noah Webster, the learned compiler
of the well known dictionary, was an
unconventional man who lovCd his un
conventional tfricmls, but Ills wife was
a stickler for propriety. Once, says the
Idler, the good lady left homo on what
was supposed to bo u prolonged visit,
but some Interference caused hereto re
turn unexpectedly, and she found her
husband in his shirt tdeeves, holding
carnival over strong.waters in compa-
nwllli u number of friends also In
smrt sleeves. TUo shocked lady gazed
at-this disreputable gathering for u mo
ment l£ silence. Then she said, “Well,
I am surprised!” “No, my dear,” wild
the lexicographer mildly, “I ara sur--
prised. You are astonished.”

It I» Said to Be Not Pop Frftm tlie
City of DamBicai.
The early traditions concerning the
city‘of Damascus are curious and inter
esting, even though untrustworthy and
contradictory. By some of the ancient
writers It was maintained'that the city
stands on or ncur the site of the garden
of Ellon, and just opposite there is a
beautiful meadow *of red earth from
which, it Is.said. God tool: the material
from which he created Adam. This
field is called. Agcr Damascenus, and
near Ha center there fprmerly stood n
pillar which was said to mark the pre
cise spot where our first parent
created. A few-'Uiilea out there is an
eminence called the Mountain of Abel,
supposed by some to be the place where
the lirst two brothers offered their sac
rifices, a bo the sj(ot where tlie first
murder was committed. The most In
teresting spot pointed out, however, is
ubout three leagues from tho city,
where an old ruin la shown which all
the orient believes to be the tomb of
Cain. The traditions respecting' this
famous spot are known to nqtednto the
Christian era by several hundred year
Up to the time of Vespasian the in
terior of the tomb Is said to have been
lighted and warmed by one of the “ever
burning” lamps' so conuuquly used by
the ancients..

An Ornament That I»rot»dlily Date*

A fCrronniert* was n bund or clmln
round the head, boldlug a Jewel In tho
center of the forehead. The last In

was furnished by America early In the
nineteenth century. /Mrs. Earle, the
Mstorlun of transatlantic costume,
vouches-for this curious survival
This ornament.Is known to have been
popular In Europe.In the sixteenth cen
tury. and fti the east it could probably
be traced, back to remote antiquity.
Biblical students know that tbo Jews,
following n custom of the undent
Egyptians, often adopted this method#
of wearing their phylacteries, or front-

The modern application of the name
is, according to Mrs. Earle, obscure.
