LEGENDS OF THE SWORD.
Curious B?li?f? That Hovarad Round
tha Ancient Wsspon.
Countless legends and superstitions
have attached to tho sword since tbo
days when lighting was tho principal
occupation of life. So highly wus tho
?word esteemed that Mohammed In
tho Koran declared It to bo "tho key
to heaven and bell."
Tho warrior or kulgbt gave ? name
to bis sword. Ho vowed at tho altar
never to draw It In a false cause. It
was his companion 'and friend and de
scended from father to son for many
generations. One sword named "Broth
er of tho Lightning" bad a golden hilt
Inscribed with magic words. In times
of pcaco these wero said to bo Illegi
ble, but before a bottle^'tbey glowed
red as blood."
It was believed, moreover, that a
?word after long use ncqulred a life of
its own. Many famous swords were
said to attor cries before battlo, and
aftor a weapon bad killed flvo scoro
men it becamo blood hungry and leap
od from Its scabbard at the approach
of a foe. Certain swords were aald
to rcfuso to give a wound in a bad
cause. Among these was tbo brand
Excallbur. wblcb was. given to King
Arthur by a fairy and wblcb Richard
Coeur do IJon professed to own.
In the east superstitions reverence is
still paid to the sword Tbo Dalmlos
of Japan, when they voluntarily sur
rendered tbelr rank, kept as a rale tbo
wonderful blades wblcb bod been
handed down from generation to gen
eration. In some cases for more than
a thousand yenrs. and wblcb bad ab
sorbed, as they believed, some of the
character snd life of the men that had
owned them - Harper's Weekly.
SARDINIAN BAGPIPES.
So Exhausting That Nearly All Who
Played Them Died Young.
Bagpipes ure the Bulgarian national
Instrument. Until lately the servants
who watted on the Turkish grand
crn ml vizier In Constantinople were
mutes. though not. as In former times,
persons specially mutilated, but chil
dren born deaf nnd dumb. They used
a language of signs, with a special ges
ture to describe the representative of
each nation. To Indicate the Bulgarian
agent they Imitated a man playing on
the bagpipes. It was not the Bulga
rians who luvented the pipes, however.
They are nmong the oldest of musical
Instruments. An ancient gem shows
Apollo with them, and two Instruments
In the book of Daniel are believed to
have been bagpipes.
The bagpipes range not only in time
from Apollo and the Blblo to the pres
ent day. but geographically from Chi
na to Spain and Great Britain. Eng
land Is said to have given them to
Scotland One country, however, final
ly lost a peculiarly severe form of the
Instrument This was tho Sardinian
"lannedda," which bad three pipes, all
placed in the piper's mouth, and was
played by rubbing strips of wax up
and down over the holes.
Tho work was so exhausting Ubnt
nearly all the pipers died young. In
1843 George Burdett came across one
who had survived to the age of eighty.
But lie was the last of the lannedda
players, and when be died the Instru
ment was played no more. ? Chicago

A Champion Bore.
"1 used to know a man." says Abe
Peters, "who was the worst bore I
over met lie used to stop mo when
ever he met me and start with a line of
talk, generally about himself, and stay
with me for tin hour or more. He was
an absentmluded man and bad a habit
of catching bold of a button of my
coat and holding on to that while he
talked. He would hang on to that but
ton and Just ramble on and on till I
was nearly ready for tho bughouse.
One day a hnppy thought struck me.
t got out my knife quietly and cut tho
button off and slipped away. Ho kept
right on talking. An hour later a
friend of mine came along and found
the bore still staudlng there, with the
button between his fingers and talking
about the year of the blgsnow In Mich
igan. He hadn't noticed that 1 was
gone."? To|ieku Capital.
