nrn. Um tf the Oriental Symbol by
I the English.
31 i? related i:i ?h*? Book of
3didges that (iideon took from Zefceh
and Zahmtnnah. kings of Midian.
ornaments like ii:e tuoon that
seen* on their camels' necks. The
Midianites were Ishmaelites and
thus ancestors of the Turks, so it
is not improbable that the symbol
was derived from them and in use
long before tho taking of ConstaD
tinople in 1 \\ hat lends some
confirmation to thi^ theory is the
fart that Richard Coeur dc Lion
adopted this badge after he returnironi
the Crusades, having asswued
it in commemoration of the
B victory which lie with his galleys
^B gained over the great Turkish dro
BB mon off Beirut in the year 1191.
BB Tins, practically tlie tir>t English
BB naval victory, was celebrated both
m &ong and historv the ehronBB
iciers of the period.
Br, The Englishmen seem to have
W been greatly impressed with the
I enormous size of the Turkish ship,
I Which must have been a very Dread|
nought of ber day. She was bigr
ger. they say than anything ever
i seen at sea, gaudily painted in velft
low and green and carried 110 fewer
h than 1.500 men, among whom were
B seven emirs and eighty chosen
B Turks for the defence of Acre, and
B was laden with bows, arrows, Greek
fire in jars and <;200 most deadly
serpents prepared for the destruction
of Christians." Possibly these
"serpents" were a species of firework
or rocket.
Tvincr "Richard's eallevs attacked
""" ??- o v
her in vain for a long time, as their
crews could not climb up her lofty
aides despite the encouragement
held out to them bv their royal
leader, who promised to crucify the
last man to board her. Eventually
several galleys drew off and, putting
on full speed, rammed the big
war vessel together in the same
spot, with such effect that she be.gan
to sink. The English were now
able to get possession of her and to
throw overboard and drown the remainder
of her crew, according to
the pleasant custom of the days of
hivalry.
Portsmouth at this time was, as
now, one of the principal naval
ports, and when in 1194 King Richard
set sail from thence at the head
of a fleet of 100 ships, he as a special
honor bestowed the royal crescent
badge upon the town as its
of arms "A crescent of ffold
in a shield azure with a blazing
star of eight points or ravs of sila
Ter between its horns" is the exact
J. description of the device which to
,* this day meets the eye everywhere
in the municipality. Thenceforward,
too, the crescent and star became
the official badge of the admiralty
and was used as such up to the
ye it 1545, when it was superseded
by the anchor.?Exchange.
Electrified Stockings.
Kobert Symraer. in l?5t>, described
some most entertaining experiments,
making^ use of the opposite
electrifications of superposed stockings
of different materials or merely
of different colors, the dye matters
in the latter case causing differentiation.
If in a dry atmosphere
~ a silk stocking be drawn over the
\ leg anil a woolen one pulled over it,
"the two will be found upon being
removed to be very powerfully electrified
in opposite senses, if the
four stockings of two such pairs be
used and then suspended together,
"they will indulge in remarkable antics
due to each of the silk stockings
trying to attract both of the woolen
ones, and vice versa, and. on the
other hand, each of each kind repelling
the other. The amount of
olectrical attraction and repulsion
produced in this simple way in a dry
atmosphere is remarkable. The experiment
may also be performed
with all silk stockings, one pair
white and the other black.
Interested.
"It is amazing the interest a
crowd will take in trifles!" exclaimed
the first cynic.
"Isn't it?" exclaimed cynic num'ber
two. "I quite agree with you!"
"Why," proceeded cynic number
one. "as T was cominsp alonsr lust
now I saw a fight between a bull'dog
and a mastiff; and, upon my
word, during the fifteen minutes I
.was watching more than fifty men
were standing round! How can peo?ple

Our First Mail Service.
The first record contained in our
* colonial history of any kind of mail
service dates from 1G77, when the
court at Boston appointed Mr. John
Hayward to "take in and convey"
letters according to their direction.
It is impossible to say what the
charges were for this first mail service,
but in 1792 the rates were as
^ follows: One letter, less than 80
miles, 6 cents; between 80 and 100
miles, 10 cents; between 200 and
350 miles, 17 cents; more than 400
toiles, 25 cents.
