Proba bly the oldest legend of which the Faust legend Is a continuous thread is r that of Simon Magus, mentioned In the history of the apostles. According to Justin, he was a native of Gitton, a village in Samaria. He was, no doubt, a rban of great intellec tual powers. He was the father of the school of the Gnostics. It is also rM ported of him that he could make him self invisible, that he could pass through flames unharmed, could trans pose matter, make gold and exorcise demons-In fact, he laid claim to all these powers, and his name lived in the mouths of the people as a sort of demi urge through-many centuries until some other miracle working personality took his place at the popular fireside. Un. usual accomplishments, great erudi tion, were attributed to the supernatu ral influence and the general disposi tion to superstitious assumption was strengthened on the one hand by dog matic affirmation on the part of the church of the existence of a personal Satan, with his numerous household, and, on the other hand, by incorporat ing the magic arts among the practical sciences, of which astrology and al chemy occupied no mean part. THE ODD LITTLE GECKO., A Queer Amnal'That Liveu In Afries and Southern Europe. The gecko is an odd little creature. His name is seldom heard, and his form is seldom seen, for he lives in Africa 'and the southern countries of Europe. This little gecko han me many strange ways and there is something so un canny in his appearance that the peo ple of the countries where he lives are rather afraid of him, believing his bite to be poisonous, although this is de nied by naturalists. He Is a little creature, with a broad, flat head, like a snake, and a long body, with a narrow tail, with odd shaped bits of skin arranged like scal lops along the sides of it. He has short legs and queer, catlike claws, which enable him to easily climb the old walls and rocks upon which he lives, catching the Insects of various sorts which make his dinner. He Is a nocturnal animal, walking abroad at night and sleeping in the daytime. He moves with sudden Auo'z aU without any noise what L ever. His 6dithe -wu --siten, .'.ri I from the queer noise he makes, which is something like the noise you would make to start a horse with. The male gecko is of a gray color, so near the shade of the old walls and rocks I among which he makes his home that he can barely be seen. Chinese Children. The education of their children is a matter of no small interest to the af fectionate Chinese mothers. They watch the little one from the day he is born, to note superstitious signs. Let him cry lustiiy, and he will live long, say the old grannies. If he teeth. or walks too soon he will grow up un lovable in disposition. At first the lit tle Chinese are not very attractive ob jects, presenting rather a scaly appear ance, due to the custom of not wash ing them lest they catch cold. A month after his birth the boy's head is shaved. A great feast is prepar'ed and celebrat jed, the child now receiving his "milk name." When he enters school his -name is changed, as it is once more when he receives his degree-Pilgrim. Afraid of Strong Medcileg. Many ,people suffer for years .som rheumatic pains, and prefer to do so rather than take the strong medicines usually given for rheumatism, not know ing that quick relief from pain may be had simply by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm and without taking any medi eine internally.
