Legends of the devil are quite com
mon in Ireland, but tlie one which Is
most Interesting nnd least known per
haps Is that which tells why the prince
of the Infernal regions has split Iosifs,
like those of a cow beast. Moore al
lude* to the legend In his story of St
Kevin nnd Kathleen at (!lendnlough
In that story Moore makes St. Kevin
throw his former ladylove over the I
clllT In order to tie rid of her Importu
nities, but the peasants of the Glenda-
lough district give the story n more po
etical touch. They Insist that It was
not Kathleen that was thrown over
the cliff, but that It was Satan, who
had assumed tin* form of the lady In
order to tempt the saint. Tlie moment
the prince of evil toppled over the edge
of the yawning abyss he spread his Imt-
llke wings nnd sailed away In safety,
much to tlie surprise of the holy saint.
Enter on the devil again attempted to
lay a snare for St. Kevin, but the saint
i ninniigcd to get the arch fiend on holy
ground, where, of course, he was help
less. While the devil was In this help
less condition Kevin sawed off his legs
nnd attached cows’ hoofs to the
stumps. Since that day Satan has been
- cloven footed and will lx; until Hip end
of time.
Oboes nnd Architect*.
"U Is possible to make echoes," said
an architect. "It Is, Indeed, easier to
make thnn to destroy them. In Ba
ptist men built tla-lr great temples and
cathedrals with no thought of acous
tics; hence when tlie preacher preached
1 echoes rolled freely nmld the grolnlngs
of the roof, down the rows of sculp
tured columns and round and rouud
the nave. With wires strung here and
with tnpostrlca spread there, many of
the echoes of the old world buildings
have I as* n obliterated. There are echo
exjierts— builders acquainted with the
I science of acoustics whose sjieclnlty Is
' colaa-s’ destruction. Sometimes tlielr
tasks are hard. Today an architect
takes thought of tlie echo. His build
ing Is constructed so as to exclude this
Intruder. Aud, knowing how to ex
clude It, lie knows how to welcome It
also. I have frequently In landscape
work put up summer houses nnd ar
ranged rocks so as to create an echo

Blogging, In public and otherwise, Is
not of mediaeval origin. In the middle
nges ridicule nnd not physical suffering
was the means employed for the cor
rection of wrongdoing; hence the pil
lory, the stocks and the thewe-a elmlr
suspended high over the heads of the |
crowd, In which women, generally 1
scolds, were brought to a sweet rea-
sonablencHs—but tlie whipping post be
longs to the Tudor age. The Kll/.ii-
hethnn servant question was met by
Hogging girls for Idleness on Sunday
morning. But It was In the Hanove
rian period that hogging wns carried
to excess. As lute us 18ir| six women
were publicly Hogged In Gloucester,
England, liectiuse they Imd Is-en found
begging.

A French toucher ot boxing points
otil that an art of self defense approx- I
linutely equivalent to Jin jitsu was ’
known In Europe in the seventeenth 1
century. Its principles lire expounded
lu a work by one Nicolas l'etera, pub
lished at Amsterdam In ItiT-l and bear
ing tlu* lengthy explanatory title: "The
art of wrestling and how one can pro
tect oneself lu all kinds of quarrels
that may occur; how one can with agil
ity and rapidity repel all unfair at
tacks and inert one's adversary with
science." The work Is Illustrated. Tlie
author apparently anticipated many of
the characteristic grips of the Japa
nese exponents of today.
