Kenophon, in bis ‘AnabRais/ says that when the Greeks were about to cpiuuienco their celebrated retreat after the death of Cyrus the Young­ er, aqd as Xenophon was addressing them frith these words: ‘We have many reasons to hope for preserva­ tion/ a soldier unfortunately sneezed’ t. The whole army thereupon invoked Jupiter the Preserver. The orator continued : ‘Since at the mention of vour preservation Jupiter has sent this omen/ thus turning the event into an indication of success. The Jewish account, as explained by the Jlabbis, gives, however,”" a clearer idea of the origin of the custom. The Rabbis declare that there was no disease or illness among men until some time after the flood. How, then, did men die in those days? Simply -sneezed and died, They say that Jacob, not fancying tTiuTmode oFcrossing the dark river/ wished to give some warning, so that parties could prepare for this mo­ mentous moment.. For this purpose he went and wrestjp.d wfth the angel. His prayer was gianted ; he sneezed . arid fell sick. Heretofore men had sneezed' and died. Therefore, the fact of Jacob’s sneez:ng .an^ surviv* ; ing.made a "great sensation, and ever after’tlje act becriihd one of the im­ portant phenomena of the human system, and when men sneezed they saluted and uttered some ejaculation of well wishing. The Jews, accord- inglyi when a person, indulges in a sneeze, say I ‘Tobini Oliaiim’—a long life to-you. T . , i , AMONG SAVAGES. ' ...^Traveler's.relate many incidents regarding this custom. Speke and, , Giant say that among so mg of the nati.ves of Equatorial Africa they could discover no trace, of any re­ ligious ideas except in the Arabic custom of uttering a prayer when a • person sneezed. De Soto declares that when an Indian Saoherri sneezed savages around, him bowed down and, prayed the sun for; his salvation. In New* Zealand the priest is guided by a sneeze when he" names an in­ fant. He . repeats over a list of names and vyheir the child sneezes' the name then pronounced is select­ ed. The Thugs of India ure without doubt the most bloodthirsty people- that everliyed. Yet, jri one respect,- .they, are the most religious. They" -are guided by a , bloody, goddess • whom, they serve most zealously. The goddess is supposed to give her commands by omens and .signs, and • one of these is a-sneeze. Were one of the. victims of the Thngs, with a strangling cord about his neck, to suddenly awaken and utter a sneeze, . his life would'.behaved. The victim, would be regarded as sacred... The Greet legend in reference to sneezing : lakes this ‘ form : One day Prome­ theus determined" to-inako a clay statute. He wished to give it-life and. mot ion. , Stnlie“slipped 7up - to heaven one day, while, Minerva was tiful girl waa born, which was the tnode of returning thanks to Venus. Thus, speaking of a beautiful woman, the poet said : ‘The lovna had sneez. ed at her birth/ The sweet little poem of Acme and Svplimellus ex­ presses the idea beautifully : “Acme then her head reflecting, Kissed her sweet youth's ebriate eyes, With her rosy lips connecting Looks that'glistened with replies. Thus, my life, my Septjmelius 1 Serve me, love, our only master• One warm love flood seems to thrill us, Throbs it not in me the faster fjhe said i “And, as before, Love on thedeft hand aptly sneezed; The omen Bliowed that he was < " . pleased To' give his blessing.” The doctors, unwilling that effort, spasmodic or otherwise, connected with the human body, should be. monopolized by common folks, con-* aider sneezing as>a disease or symp­ tom accompanying 'certain ailments —that it is associated with whopp­ ing cough, the bugbear of childhood, asthma and*gout. It is' not unfirev quently' a-symptom of hysteria. All agree that sneezing is caused by soma A catarrhal condition of the mucus membrane is most common. Sneez­ ing may be called the foster brother of the hay fever. The medical men - treat sneezing by a strong impression on, the fifth nerve, a mustard poultice to the back of the neck, or an emetic. Sometimes.jcrcosote and iodjne va­ pors are given, and dipping the head- in cold water is zealously prescribed., by old women. Religious opposition to the custom of saluting people when they sneezed arose among the Anabaptists in the beginning of the lust century. They declared it was a pagan .custom and would .'liave none pf it ampng the faithful. Tra dition had it^w.licn Cresar was pn the. brink of the Rubicon he sneezed, and, regarding it as a favorite qm’en, crossed it, and the conquest of Gaul followed.’ Those wild have read Xen­ ophon’s .Memorabilia of the career and’ habits of Socrates' remember that lie claimed that he was infested with a demon or spirit to whounhe owed all.his wisdom. -Now Plutarch says that (lie demon always sent him characteristic warnings by means of sneezes. • • The Meanest Mail on Itecorcl. iioh't be Deceived.

Catharines Journal says.-; “This is the age of Joig undertaki ngs '; buf few'sclierires have been proposed more startling than the proposal to drain Lake Erie and convert Buffalo, Toledo arid Cleveland' into, inland towns. 'Such, however, is the idea broached,by Mr. Peter. Cameron, a resident of Rochester. ‘. Iu a letter to the U/twt ho points out that whilst the bottoms, of all other ..lakes are on the same plane, about 200 feet below, the sea level, Erie’s bottom is about 500 "feet above sea level.' This is a most extraordinary geological, fact, and on^. which^ places Lake Erie in ■ fieiri^fetWdjjf *a widens3 ing of the channel connecting Lake Huron with Lake Ontario.' The.lake . ’ covers a tract of country 250 miles by 60, witli an average , depth of 75 feet, arid if it Were draified a magnificent tract of alluvial farming land would be revealed. This is Mr. Cameron’s • plan-for the proposed .“improvement.” The Cliff. At Niagara Falls'is 160 feet high, the slope of the river bed above the falls is about 60 feet. As the. depth of Lake Erie is only 75 feet on an average, it is iriain that a tunnel ■ ouxlra in-dug-into-Niagara’s cliff and carried to the nearest deep point of Lake Erie, at a sufficiently low-lpvel, would in a short time carry off all the Water. The magnitude 'rtf' such a work may appear . insurmountable, but Mr. Cameron says he knows coal and tin mines in England that have a. groat deal more tunneling in .them and although the length of tho drain might bo twenty or even 80 miles,Mit coqld bo made at much less cost than building of tho Welland ,ucaual. “Of -Tj-OHi'srtlnHros’alt'riF tlio aocofuplish- . merit of this schomo would be to make Buffalo, Cleveland and Toledo inland' cities. It would also utterly obliterate Niagara Falls and the river abovA-the.falls, hub on tho othet hand> it would fay bare a tract of very ‘fer­ tile land, much larger than tlio whole of Scotland,, through._wlriclL^woulA jlbw a majestic continuation of f>e; troib river, that would disappear -into the channel aforosaid, (and rushing through tho bowels of earth for 20 miles or so," would reappear belching forth from the cliff at Niagara.
