THE COVINGTON NEWS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1910.
KNOCKED FOR RAIN.
And Within an Hour the Wind Veered
and the Shower Came.
Frances Gostiing. author of “The
Britons at Home." has this curious tale
of the dolmen of floceuaud. with its
curious cup shaped impressions like
the constellation Pleiades: An old wo¬
man, a bystander, was asked what the
marks were for. "Folks say,’’ said
she. “that they were made by the el¬
bow's and knees of St. Bock. He fell
dow r n on this stone when he landed
from Ireland.” And then the old wo¬
man added: "We use the holes now
when we want the wind to ehauge.
We knock in them.” The story con¬
tinues: " ‘Do ask her to knock.” I cried
eagerly. There was a moment of hesi¬
tation on the part of the old woman, a
half franc shown in a careless way.
and ’What wind would madam like to
have?' ‘Southw'est,’ said 1, looking at
the cloudless sky.
“The old woman took up a flint and
went slowly to the dolmen. Without
any pause for reflection she knocked
three times in a particular depression,
murmuring some words 1 should not
have understood even had they been
audible. ‘Come,’ observed my friend;
‘we have yet time to see the rest of
the peninsula.’
“The old woman said something, at
which M. le Rouzic laughed. ‘She
says that if we are going farther it
will be best to be quick,’ said he.
‘Why?’ ‘The rain you asked for will
be here shortly.’ And in less than an
hour it was raining.”
Early Earrings.
The earring is not a modern inven¬
tion, for more than twenty centuries
ago the daughter of Aristotle wore
golden hoops. The philosopher's daugh¬
ter's earrings were found in her tomb
near Chaleis, in Euboea, by exploring
archaeologists, and certainly modern
workmanship cannot produce their
equal. In each golden hoop swung a
tiny dove, with precious stones for
eyes and bands of minute gems to
give the color of the iridescent breast
and wings. The feathers were of gran¬
ulated gold, and the tail feathers were
so marvelously wrought and adjusted
that they acted like a balance, as iD a
living bird, so that the exquisite minia¬
ture creatures whenever the wearer
moved or laughed or tossed her head
would move and balance themselves
upon their pendent perches.
Pleasant Prospect.
“Yo’ isn’t stopped at de Palace hotel
befo’. is yo’. boss?” inquired the col¬
ored man who was piloting a just
arrived traveler from the railway sta¬
tion to the hostelry.
“No. But what makes you sure of
it?”
“TJhkase yo’ gwine dar now, sah.”
—ruck.
Worse Yet.
Mamma—Johnny, you bad boy,
you’ve been fighting again! Your
clothes are so badly torn that I’ll
probably have to get you a n»w suit.
Johnny—That’s nothing, mamma. Xou
just ought to see Tommy Jones. I’ll
bet his mamma will have to get a new
boy.—Chicago News.

PASSENGER ELEVATORS.
Their Invention Made the Modern
Skyscraper Possible.
It is certain that the earliest and the
most indispensable of the factors which
have enabled the construction of the
mighty skyscrapers of today was the
passenger elevator and that this was
brought Into use during the sixties of
the last century, its first appearance
in New York being in the Fifth Ave¬
nue hotel. It was at. about the same
time introduced Into the Astor House,
then already a generation old. So ob¬
vious was the utility of this device
that the wonder again is that it had
not been brought into practice long be¬
fore. Hoists are, of course, as old as
the Dutch warehouses, of which the
picturesqueness is enhanced by the
projecting cranes that worked the
hoists, doubtless as old as Archimedes.
But hotels, even when the Fifth Ave¬
nue was built, were conditioned in al¬
titude, as were all other buildings not
exclusively monumental, unassist,% by the pow¬
ers of ascension of the hu¬
man leg. Five stories was the max¬
imum for commercial buildings, except
that an attical sixth might be added
for the discommodation of the Janitor,
whose name was Hobson and who had
to go where he was sent, which, nat¬
urally. was where no "paying guest"
could be induced to go. He and his
may have taken their outlook on life
from slits or bullseyes just under the
roof. In the cases of hotels the sixth
story was assigned to servants and
storerooms. Tenants or inmates could
not be induced to climb more than
four flights of stairs and grumbled
grievously In the case of inmates of
hotels and accused the hotel clerk of
perfidy when they had to climb so
many. A device which would make
all the floors, even of a Are story hotel,
equally accessible, and so equally de¬
sirable, was a device very sure of im¬
mediate adoption, so sure that the only
wonder was that the supply of it
should have so lagged behind the de¬
mand. The beginnings of the eleva¬
tors were, it is quite true, the begin¬
nings also of what in their earlier
stages were known as the “elevator
buildings.”—Scribner’s Magazine.
Romeo Not Taken Seriously.
Juliet was only fifteen years old, but
she thought she was quite grown up.
One evening, says Mrs. R. A. Pryor iu
“My Day,” she was receiving on the
moonlit veranda a young man caller.
He. too, it seemed, considered himself
grown up. The anxious youth was
moved to seize the propitious hour and
declare himself. Juliet wished to an¬
swer correctly and dismiss him with¬
out wounding him.
She assured him mamma would nev¬
er consent.
A voice from within—they were sit¬
ting beneath her mother’s window
settled the matter:
“Accept the young man, Juliet, if
you want to. I’ve not the least ob¬
jection. And let him run along home
now. Be sure to bolt the door when
you come in.”
Evidently the mother had small re¬
spect for boy lovers and wished to go
to sleep.
A Prince Edward Island Legend.
There is a delightful legend among
the people of Point Prim to the effect
that when the English attacked the
French fort at that place a chain ball
from one of the attacking vessels cut
the steeple from the old church located
on the very point In falling it toppled
over the promontory and carried the
bell which it contained into the sea.
Dwellers along the point affirm that
from time to time the sound of that
bell comes over the waters at eventide
and that its phantom tone is ever a
warning of a fierce storm or some im¬
minent danger to those who make
their living by the spoils of the ocean.
Plenty on Hand.
“Have you ever wondered about
your husband’s past?”
“Dear me. no. I have all I can do la
taking care of his present and worry*
lug about his future.”—Boston Herald.
• Domestic Note.
“I’ve noticed one thing.”
"And what is that?”
“When one gets loaded it’s usually
his wife who explodes.”—Birmingham
Age-Herald.
Our own anger does us more harm
than the thing which makes us angry.
—Sir John Lubbock.
