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.” Balt. Izank Walton Is the patron saint of all good fishermen. Hero Is his udvlco as to bnlt:*“Let your bait be as big 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..
