Certain families could never get sea employment under their own surnames, not even such members as were born with cauls, as they were tabooed, barred; and many animals— hares, pigs, black eats, for example— could neither he carried nor mentioned on shipboard, save under very stringent conditions. Scarborough wives kept a black cat in the house to assure their husbands' lives at sea; hut on voyages every black cat carried a gale in her tail, and if she became unusually frolicsome a storm was sure to follow. Years ago, on board the flagship Franklin, up the Mediterranean, we had a yarn that illustrated a survival of this antipathy to certain forms of uuiinals. Two old quartermasters were heard during the morning watch exchanging in the cockpit dismal experiences of their dreams the night before. One was particularly harrowing, for tlie narrator wound up with: “And, I say, Bill, I was never so afeared in my life; when I woke up it seemed as true as day, and I was all of a tremble

Translated the Illble.

At a recent meeting of the Equal Rights club of Hartford, Conn., Mrs. D. Bacon gave an interesting sketch of the late Miss Abby Smith, of Glastonbury, Conn., who for many years refused to pay her taxes because she did not have a vote. While her sister Julia raised cows and made five translations of tlie Bible, Abby raised the Breeze tiiat wafted them to fume. In the days of the “Millerites” and their talk about the end of the world, Julia wanted to learn if there was any warrant in the original Hebrew for Miller’s predictions, fixing the end of the world in 1843; so she studied Hebrew und then went to work and translated the Bible. “I have been unable to find," said Mrs. Bacon, “that any one man ever translated the whole Bible alone. The Bible has lieen worked up by many different hands, and has appeared under different names, us ‘Wieliffe's Bible,’ ‘Tyndale's Bible,' 'Coverdale’s Bible,’ ‘Cranmer's Bible,’ and ‘King James' Bible.’ No one man ever did the work alone and unaided. This was left f< ir a wimum to do. and not only twice, but five times did site perform this Herculean labor, and then modestly shut the translations up in her closet for a quarter of a century. never at that time intending to publish them. Probably no woman after the age of eighty can show such a record as that of Julia Smith. At the age of eighty-two she had a lawsuit in her town which was decided in her favor, and was then appealed by the defendant to the court of common pleas in this city, resulting in a long trial the Smith sisters coining over every day, Julia being the brightest witness, on the stand, in spite of her fourscore years and two. At the age of eightyfour she published her translation of the Bible. At the age of eighty-six site was married, making a record which easily distances the recordsof ordinary mortals in the eighties.”

A French scientist has announced the result of experiments to determine tlie real cause of mountain sickness—a complaint that seizes many mountain climbers, und which may he said to correspond with sea sickness. It has recently been proposed to bore a tunnel from the base to the summit of the Jungfrau, a distance of 12,two feet, and to install therein a great passenger elevator, but warnings of the dreaded mountain sickness, which it is said would surely make the tourist repent his temerity, have brought the project to a standstill. Struck by the fact that mountain climbers are affected at an elevation of about 9,000 feet, while aeronauts can without trouble ascend to double that height , the scientist concluded that muscular fatigue has something to do with it. He accordingly placed under a bell jar two guinea pigs, of whom one had to work a wheel while the other was at rest. The air of the bell jar was then progressively exhausted. At a pressure equivalent to 9,000 feet the climbing guinea pig showed signs of distress, and at 11,000 feet lie renounced the struggle and remained lying on his back. The other guinea pig. however, appeared quite comfortable up to an elevation of 18,000 feet, and his condition became serious only at a height of 24,000 feet.

Looking from her window one Sunday morning when the tulip trees were in bloom, it flashed upon her mind that one of those yellow and green striped buds would be just the touch of color needed at the back of her r>.‘\v black larc bonnet, the present somberness of which did not please her. Two buds were finally secured, and nestled down in the lace, where the effect was eminently satisfactory. Pleased with the result of her expedient, tlie bonnet was donned und my friend serenely made her wav down tlie aisle to her pew, in blissful unconsciousness of the sensation she was to create ere she left the church. As the service progressed all thought of the tulip buil passed from her mind as completely as though it had never existed to tempt her errant fancy. Gradually, however, she became conscious that a exeat amount of suppressed laughter was going on in her immediate vicinity during the sermon. Annoyed that she shonld have her attention distracted, my friend turned upon the offenders with a look of stern disapproval. All to no purpose, however, for after each such silent rebuke the evidence of mirth seemed to increase. She returned hotfie at the conclusion of the service, and, while descanting to her family upon the liTWcreat behavior of the people behind her in church, she took off her Ismiiet.
