'Londons great 'artery, the river Thames, hides many a grim story un- der its wurky waters, some of them centuries old, some of them merely in. cidents of, yesterday. Just as no other river has quite the same wonder as be- longs to the Thames, s0.no other river is so wrapped in mystery, so surround- ed with stories of tragedy and crime. Many of the old waterside houses, which rise sheer with the bank, cop- tain rooms in which the floor is builg 'directly over the water--floors upon which one could stand in apparently perfect safety while some one in an ad. Jacent room worked a lever which caused the floor to open and his vie. tm to drop into the river, A gambling club is said' to have met in such a room once a year to.play for tremendous stakes, The party played on until one of their, members was- rulped. Then the rest of the men went away In silence, while the ruined man went down Into the dark waters, One of the old waterside houses at Wapping, too, is among the bits of the Thames with a reputation for being haunted. A flight of steps leads from the house to the river, but these steps are disused, and the door at the top of them is walled up. Despite this, often people passing by op' the river at night time swear to having seen two" men come through the walled door and down the steps. Then, after lowering bundle into the wa: ters, they réturn to the house. The identity of, the men and the contents qf their bundle remaip among the in Soluble stories of the Thames. The Thames police force of about 300 men is employed to guard against all sorts of additions to_the mysteries of the Thames, and their task is of far greater magnitude than might be casu- ally imagined. Most imperative Is it that each member of this force shall be an expert swimmer and understand the right methods for dealing with persons rescued from the water. . A very large number of persons are saved from intentional and accidental drowning in the river every year, an average number somewhere between seventy and a bundred. But the num. ber of persons who are "found drown- ed" strikes a still greater average--it is neyer less and often more than 100 in a year--besides which it is well (known that the waters of the fiver | close above many persons of whom 'nothing more 18 ever seen or heard. But if stones could speak the bridges across the Thames could tell many | pitiful 'and grim lite storfes, especially | Waterloo bridge, which has such sad associations as to have gained It the sobriquet 'of "I'he Bridge of Sighs." , Incidentally, Waterloo bridge is an. | other part of the Thames which is Said to be haunted. It. is not so very loug since a more than usually clear sighted {man went to the police with the infor: mation that he bad seen a woman Jump from the parapet of Waterloo bridge. He had been crossing the bridgé late. one night, when be had noticed a wo- man in black walking in front of him. Suddenly he saw her make an appeal- | | Ing gesture, but before he could reach the woldin she had disappeared. That was all. There was no splash following her disa Ppearance, and no re- sult came from the search which was | made. Those who are familiar with the history of phe ifver said that the man | had seen the ghost of Waterloo bridge ~the tragic woman in black, of whom nothing is known save that she haunts the London "Bridge of Sighs." Another mysterious thing abouf the Thames, whi¢h no amount of police su. pervision will destroy, is the "ghost" boats which have been and are fre- quently seen lu various parts of the river. It is a fact that river police pa- trols have aetualy glven chase to such ghost ships, to find there is nothing substantial to be found on reaching the place where the'ships had seemed to be. One of the most' curious stories of this kind is that of the mysterious bogt which was seen making its way along the water toward London bridge one day, about a quarter of a century ago, As she neared the bridge there was a tremendous explosion, a vivid burst ot light, and then--nothing! Not so much as a splinter of wood remained of the boat which had been, and the story of it lingers from that day to this as one of the hundreds of tragic. unknown things which form the secrets of the river of mystery.-- London Answers, -------- Talent Required.

In fact, be caused the south sea island. ors much annoyance by setting in the mornjng or at 'moon or at other inop- portune times, just when his light was fieeded for the daily tasks of mankind. The great bero Maui undertook to cure him of these erratic babits, and the frst step was to make the sun god Prisoner.

The fourth noese tightened around his waist, the fifth under his arms, and finally the sixth and last caught him around the 'peck and almost strangled him, Then the sun god confessed him. self vanquished and in fear of his life promised Maul that he would in future adjust his daily journeys more in ac- cordance with the comfort and conven lence of mortal men. = Ra was then allowed to proceed on his way, but Maui prudently declined to take off the ropes, which may still be seen hanging from the sun at dawn and when he descends into the ocean At night. Hey the islanders say, when they bebold the beams radigting from the sun, "Tena te Taura a Maui"--"See the repes of Maul" Ancient Trade Unions. Seven thousand years ago there were trade unions in Nineveh ana Babylon, and so strict were their rules that in Some cases the penalty of death was inflicted for infringing 'them. Each man's werk was strietly defined, and even the number of hours that he was allowed to work was stated in the charter of his guild or union. Later exactly the same State of affairs ex isted in Pompeii, and inscriptions have been discovered stating specific ap- pointments of officials to trade unions. Bees and Ants.

The Stationer. - "Stationery" has etymologically as much to do with standing as has "sta- | tionary." The original Stationers, or | stationarli, were 'so called because, they 0d their books upon stalls or "sta. tions"--~in London round about. old St, Paul's cathedral, in some cases against the_walls of the cathedral itself. This 1s one of the many trades the names of which have no direct allusion to the commodities sold. "Grocers," for in- stance, were so called either because they sold "en gros," wholesale, or be- cause they were "engrossers," monop. olizers.--London. Chronicle, ---- Always, Time haunted her.
