By iyuanthropy, strictly so (uliedI is meant the transmution of a man into a wolf, the mnn still retaining his human reason and knowledge, but becoming imbued with the fierce animal instincts of the brute into which he has been transformed. In ancient times the same disxinctions are to be observed. Lycaon, him of Arcadia, is nransmuted into a wolf. hut Io becomes a boiler ; the companions of Ulysses swine ; Acteaon, a stag ; leus, a hawk. The num- ber of transmutation, indeed, is so numerous that one of the great Latin pasts has wriu‘en e long‘poe'n descriptive of them. in the Hindoo mythology Indra is represented as transmutinz Rabandha into a monster while the sons'oi Vasishtha convert Frisankla inso a bear.

In the extremity of their need one of his rehinue discloses to him, under s' promise of secrecv, that he has the power of turning himself into a wolf, under which form he can doubtless obtain food.

It was afiirmed that he prowied ‘ around like a wait at night and had devoured several infantn. It was alleged that on three occasions under the guise of a ‘ wolf, and once in his own proper form, he! had seized, killed and mangled children. It was of course difficult to establish identity‘ in three of these instances, but in the fourth * several witnesses well acquainted with his1 person had seen him stran la a boy and} afterward tear his flesh with is teeth. He was arrested and put to the torture, when! he confessed the truth of the charge against him and was burned at the stake. | A few years afterwards tailor named‘ Roulet, living near Angers, was tried on a‘ similar charge of having slain, and then‘ mangled with his teeth. a lad of 15. It was i declared in evidence that he had been seen j while in to tear the body, and, pursuit having been: made, he was caught in a. chicken. bun hav- ; ing now resumed his human: form.

He was con- i damned, and would doubbless have been‘ burned at: the stake if it had not: appealed to the psrliamenu. They wisely and merci- fully declared hlm a maniac and placed him under confinement. f The case of Jean Grenier in the .next gen- eration very nearly resembles the above. He was a peasant led of 8:. Antoine de Pizon, near Bordeaux. He was charged, on what: seemed credible evidence. with having toxn to pieces several children. He made an elaborate confession. in which he declared that a black mm whom he met in the forest had given him an ointment which had the effect of making him a. wdi ~for a time, tnd while in that condition he had killed and mutilated several children. The judges in this instance also pronounced the men to be a madman, and placed him in a convent to be cured and. reformed. Esrlier in the same century a story, in most particulars very like the two just re- lated. but. with a more shocaing termination, is told of a farmer near Pavia.

A very shocking history is that of a lady of Auvergne In 1588.

He produced the paw from under his sleeve as he spoke, and, 10 i it had become a woman's hand with a ring on it. The gen- tleman thought he recormiud his wife's wed- ding ring.

There is nothing unreassnable in believing that the same craving which induces many animals to mangle a succession of victims in pre- ference to devouring any one of them might take possession of a human subject also whose physical system had become greatly deranged. As late as 1849 the case of Bert- rand, a junior (fiber in a regiment quarter- ed in Paris, attracted attention. Tue facts are too repulsive for full narration. In fran- tic fits of uncontrollable desire he frequent- ed the burial ground or Pare la Chaise and exhumed and lacorated a great many bodies. After awhile the guardians of the cemetery were alarmed. Bertrand was fired at and wounded. The ypolice then captured him and he made a full confession.

"Then I can go to sleep," be said, and, wrapping his cloak about him, he dropped where he stood in the muddy trench and in an instant was asleep.

THE Mommy BREAKFAST. “You never saw auch '“ ny breakfasts u the P33 have," exolai young lady who had just returned to at wn home after a. week's visit at a _v_vez§l_th_y friend's. “Why, mother, you would think there wasn’t: an'yl thing he eat; on the table. Every morning 3“ the year round they have only fruit, out. meal or cracked wheat, with cream and sugar, and soft-pouchled eggs on tout." ,,|,;,,, -_aV,, , , lb was no wonder the young lady was an. touished, for as her own home there was usually for breakfast some sort of indiges- tlble hon bread, and always meats and po- tatoes. besides eggs in some form and 3 var- iety cf qtjb‘er thing‘s. .. p u 4-... ._-, W A well-known: Southern family of h h social position has lor its invariable brea - fast, “ all the year round,” again, “ hot biscuit,"whioh every Southerner knows well, and fried sausages and cofleeâ€"hardly to be commended, but showing a desire for uni- formity. One of the great European states- men, who is also an epicure, eats for his re- gular breakfast a baked potato and a broiled chop with coffee. All dwellers in first-elm hotels know that a large proportion of the people who live in them have a stated break- fast which their waiters know is nevrr to be varied from. One of our most distingulthed writers announced a few days ago that she ate far her first meal never anythin'z but a a saucer oi oatmeal and a slice of toast and an egg with a cup of coffee. This is a com. men and most satisfactory breakfast among literary workers, many of whom add only a bunch of grapes or an apple to it, or other seasonabie fruit. The breakfast in vogue among a larva part of our populationâ€"the hoe breads and grid- dle cakes, eaten often with the most cloying sweets ; the croquettes and other fried dishes ; the ham, veal, pork or liver so often sacrificed, or rather sacrificed to, at our morning tablesâ€"are discredibable to our civilization. Among the most widely tra- velled and the wealthiest of cur people there Is no doubt a. tendency to unilorm break- fasts,~ and of plain and nourishing quality. This is devoutly to he wished for, not only for the sake of the digestions of our people, but for the peace of our perplexed house- wives, whose ory has been for generations, “ What shall we have for breakfast?" The lack of appetite for this first meal of the day is a most serious obstacle tc the housekeeper’s success in providing something satisfactory. Many people find a glass of lemonjuice and water, an apple, or some other tart morsel just the appetizer needed. These crude acids are too strong and biting for the stomach of others. It, is desirable, however, that as little choice as possible be given ata time when most people would rather go without anything than take the trouble to decide between several dishes, no one of which is desired. Cereals. delicately cro'xei, have lonp' been recognized as a most suitable and nourishing food to give the stomach after its long fast. There is nothing so dainty in the way of edibles (excepting fruit) as a well cooked egg. Searcer any- one, even the most un willing, can resist its charms.
