LEGENDS OF INTEREST TO ALL STUDENTS OF SUCH SUBJECTS. The Story of the Seven Whistlers—The Black Horseman, the Eerie Sunsets and the Great Snake—Legend of the Little Dog. Whether, like the folk lore of Georgia, the cotton states, that of eastern Virginia is traceable directly back to Africa in nearly every case, is a question. There seems to exist a Causesian folk lore sprung from long residence in the beautiful spurs of the Blue Ridge and among the picturesque hills and secluded valleys which roilate and fill all the section of the state. That the slaves exerted a perceptible influence on this cult there can be no doubt. But that it in large part originated in imaginations and superstitions apart from them is equally undoubtable. This folk lore embodies several legends which ought to be of interest to students of such subjects all the world over. LEGEND OF THE SEVEN WHISTLERES. Once in the life of every man he hears the Seven Whistlers' call. They are strange birds on whom mortal eyes have never rested; the whistle of whose wings sometimes falls upon the startled car. And there is always a portent of something momentous or good or evil, even though they may not "see their weed" for weeks after the seven Whistlers' "call." Like all portents, their coming is mostly in the glosming. For then, after all, is the "switching hour." There is in the quiet of a secluded country side in the twilight rush which comes down from the mountains and the twilight window which falls from the heavens a mystical significance of another world and of the finely structure of the veil intervening, which is to be found at no other hour of the twenty-four. It is, then, by some lonely wood pond, or in some valley circled by the woods, that this rush is broken by a faint, far beat, distinct note in the air, not on earth or in the sky overhead, taken up and repeated six times and ever growing clearer and more distinct, and finally pleading away with a rush of wings and a sound...

There is a low valley on the Appomatox river, not many miles from the historic field of the surrender, through which flows a gentle stream. Along its banks are groves of oak and ash, and farther away on either side stretches the rolling meadow land. On the top of a neighboring hill is a ruined cabin, said to be the site of what was once a famous plantation mansion. Here, in the first cool twilights of the fall, as the darkness gathers sufficiently to allow the lights of the farm houses a mile or two away to be visible, the traveler or passer by may hear the champing of a bit and the pawing of a powerful steel. In a few moments, just on the banks of the stream, a coal back horse is seen and a strange man in foreign costume stands by the saddle ready to mount. "Whoa, sir; whon, sir," the rider cries, "whoa, sir!" and the black steed paws and champs his bit. In an instant on the hill, where stands the ruined cabin, a brilliant illumination flares up and the windows of a stately mansion are seen all aglow in the rays of the dying sun which fall last upon that height. Then the strange man raises his head suddenly and leaps to the saddle and in a flash the radiant mansion and the coal black steel disappear, and all is silent and dark. This is known to all the gray heads for leagues around. THE EARIE SUNSETS. In Madison county, along the base of Prospect mountain, the sunsets are said always to be of a weird and surpassing grandeur. No such gorgeous illuminations of the western sky are to be seen anywhere in this country. Whether it be from the peculiar natural conformation of the neighborhood or the way in which the hills to the west are shaped, the splendor of these sunsets is famous. As they fade away and the streamers of cloud which have been crimson and purple melt into the colder gray of dusk, these cloud streamers take on fantastic shapes of living things, and the upper other, so high as to be indistinct, is twisted and moved by the convolutions of a mighty serpent and the tail-folds undulate down to the horizon and lose themselves in the forests of the mountain. This is the Great Sunke. During the recent earthquake disturbances these atmospheric and serpentine phenomena are declared to have been noticed in a marked degree. LEGEND OF THE LITTLE DOG. There is never a boy or a girl who was brought up in all that country side who has not heard form nurse or colored companion the legend of the "Little Dog." It is, as the black mammies" always warned their young charges, a small gray dog, not a puppy, but a creature grown old and gray, which suddenly appears in the grooming area. For then, after all is the "witching hour." There is in the quiet of a secluded country side in the twilight rush which comes down from the mountains and the twilight window which falls from the heavens a mystical significance of another world and of the fainty structure of the veil interesting, which is to be found at no other hour of the twenty four. It is then, by some lonely wood pond, or in some valley circled by the woods, that this rush is broken by a faint, far beat, distinct note in the air, not on earth or in the sky overhead, taken up and repeated six times and ever growing clearer and more distinct, and finally pealing away with a rash of wings and a sound of passing like that which in all the Mediterranean islands signaled the death of "the Great Pan" when Christ was born. THE BLACK HORSEMAN. There is a low valley on the Appomatox river, not many miles from the historic field of the surrender, through which flows a gentle stream. Along its banks are groves of oak and ash, and farther away on either side stretches the rolling meadow land.

There is never a boy or a girl who was brought up in all that country side who has not heard form nurse or colored companion the legend of the "Little Dog." It is, as the black mammals always warned their young charges, a small gray dog, not a puppy, but a creature grown old and gray, which suddenly appears at dusk to a truant child. At first it is small and insignificant, even harmless looking. As the truant looks over his shoulder, and fearfully begins to speed homeward, the animal grows with the growing darkness, and whitens in the increasing blackness until it looms closer and closer behind the appalled child in a gray shape as hideous and as terrific as the gigantic white whale of the South Seas to the belated islander at sea. I have often imagined I saw the "Little White Dog," and whether I saw him or not I was scared, like many another white child, "half to death."—John Paul Bocock in Detroit Free Press. Old Universities. Harvard is more venerable than a number of German universities which are famous. The University of Halle was founded in 1694, that of Breslau in 1702, of Gottingen in 1757, Berlin in 1810 and Bonn in 1818, all being younger than Harvard, which was founded in 1636. The oldest of the German speaking universities is that of Prague, which was founded in 1848; the next is that of Vienna, founded in 1865, and Heidelberg, founded in 1886, is the third and is the oldest university in the German empire.—Kansas City Times. A New Sort of Novel. Mr. William Dean Howells said when he was in Washington last winter that he had it in mind to write a novel which should have neither hero nor heroine—unless a newspaper can be one or the other. His idea was to make the growth of a great daily newspaper the main feature of a story, keeping the men and women subordinate to it.—Washington Cor. Philadelphia Record.

Taking a Patient out of the Strait Jacket. In Charge of a Runaway—Defect in the Present Methods of Treating the Insane. A Wonderful Man. It was in a parlor car en route from Chicago to Madison, Wis., one evening, that the representative of The Times was awakened from a reverie, or a semi-slumber by the sound of a voice. It was a voice that made itself heard with distinctness above the roar of the wheels and the obstreperous rumbling of the train. It thus spake: "Myers said he would take her, and they said they wished him good luck, although they were sure he couldn't do anything with her. She was a bad one and no mistake. They had kept her in a solitary, with a strait jacket, because she'd tear off every stitch of her clothes, and when she had an opportunity she'd break every dish she could get at. They'd been feeding her in a tin dish which was passed to her through a hole in her cell. The only dress she could wear was a single garment of glue which she couldn't tear. Well, Myers took her into his buggy and drove out to the farm, and the first thing he did was to have a regular woman's dress made for her of print, with underclothing and all complete. Then he removed her cannibole, had her dressed in her new clothes, and took her down to dinner and seated her next to him at his own table. He said to her: 'Now you are to behave like a lady, and not break any dishes, and not like other women.' Well, sir, she went to eating; she behaved with perfect propriety; she never offered to tear her dress or break any dishes, and from that gave on she was one of the best behaved individuals in the establishment." Myers is a wonderful man. Resumed the old clerkman's face shining with benzene. There was a young German in that room who had an invincible desire to run away. He would skip out at every possible opportunity. They had to keep him locked in a room night and day, generally with handcuffs. Myers was town one day, and the nymlum folks told him about this case.

The very person from whom she most desires to hide the waning of her charms are the ones most Some Facts About Florida Oranges The Boston Transcript of the 17th of February has the following concerning the Florida orange crop this year: About ten years ago the Florida orange trade started in Boston. The excellence of the fruit shipped at first was so marked that high prices were obtained without difficulty. Each succeeding year brought larger shipments from Florida, and those who had groves in bearing condition reaped a big harvest. The orange growing fever quickly spread, and many thousands of trees were planted every year. So great was the desire to obtain oranges that many owners of groves made no attempt to obtain a choice quality of fruit, relying upon the magic of the word "Florida" to turn their golden fruit into the common gold of commerce. As a result of this unanticipated system, some of the fruit now seet from Florida is coarse of tiber and has not the richness of the luscious fruit raised in some sections of the State Money is needed for fertilization, the trees should be pruned with a free hand, and more attention must be paid to packing to obtain the best results. Much of the fruit now shipped must be received promptly and quickly disposed of, or it will decay. This is undoubtedly owing, to a great extent, ignorance in regard to the proper way of packing oranges. If packed soon after they are picked, the oranges will decay within a short time; but placed in piles in a store house for ten days the oil in the rind seems to form a glaze which prevents decay. The severe frosts last year lessened to some extent this season's crop, and the trait that was shipped has shown the effect of the frost upon the trees, being of poorer quality than usual. It is believed that by next year the trees will again be in good condition. Although it was feared that there could be a short crop this year, it is estimated that during the height of the season—December 1st to February 1st—the average receipts to Boston each week were about 1,500,000 oranges. Last season a Boston firm tried the experiment of exotizing oranges to Europe. One lot of a hundred boxes was sent, and was sold at a good price, the American residents being eager to obtain Florida fruit. This year no attempt was made to repeat the experiment. Mother-Dalton pray in your Sunday school to-day, Johnny? Johnny-Yes, mamma. Mother-Taillard a good little-boy, always pray in Sunday school. Father-But what did you pray for? Johnny-I prayed for you to let out. A Pretty Woman's Secret Fear of discovery, when she resorts to false hair and dyes, is a source of constant anxiety to her. The very persons from whom she most desires to hide the waning of her charms are the ones most likely to make the discovery. But there is no reason why she should not remain and retain all the beauty of hair that was her pride in youth. Let her use AYER'S HAIR VIGOR, and not only will her hair cease to fall out, but a new growth will appear where the scalp has been demolished and locks that are turning gray, or have actually grown white, will return to their prized freshness and brilliance of color. AYER'S HAIR VIGOR cures Hereditary Baldness. GEORGE MAYER, Flotonia, Tees was held at 24 years of age, as his ancestors had been for several generations. One bottle of Hair Vigor started a growth of soft, downy hair all over his scalp, which soon became thick, long, and vigorous. Ayer's Hair Vigor is not a drug, but by healthy stimulation of the roots and color glands, specially restores to its original color hair that is. Turning Gray. MRS. CATHERINE DEAMER, Point of Rocks, Mc., led her hair suddenly blanched by fright, during the late civil war. AYER'S HAIR VIGOR restored it to its natural color, and made it softer, glossier, and more abundant than it had before. Scalp Diseases Which cause drizzles, brittleness, and falling of the hair, dandruff, itching, and supplying sorces, are all quickly cured by AYER'S HAIR VIGOR.

I have tried a number of physicians, but without receiving any permanent benefit. Among the number were one or two specialists. The medicine they applied was like fire to the sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what S. S. had done for others similarly afflicted. I procured some at once. Before I had used the second bottle the neighbors could notice that my cancer was healing up. I general health had been bad for two or three years—I had a hacking cough and spit blood continually. I had a severe pain in my breast. After taking six bottles of S. S. my cough left me and I grew stouter than I had been for several years. My cancer has healed over all but a little spot about the size of a half dime, and it is rapidly disappearing. I would advise every one with cancer to give S. S. a fair trial. Mas. NANCY J.
