442 [The word _mystery_ seems to be used here in the sense of _energy_.
It is sometimes spelt by Scottish writers _mister_ and _myster_, and
signifies an art or calling, being derived from the old French word
_mestier_, a trade. When employed to denote something above human
intelligence, it has a different origin (being formed from
{~GREEK SMALL LETTER MU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER UPSILON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER SIGMA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER TAU~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER ETA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER RHO~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER IOTA~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER OMICRON~}{~GREEK SMALL LETTER NU~}, a secret).--_Ed._]

After the lapse of so many ages, it is interesting to know that this
still continues to be, with little variation, the common salutation
of friends in the East. Salam aleikoum, "Peace be with you," is
immediately acknowledged by a similar greeting, Aliekoum salam, "To

454 [The heathen mythologists represented the Sirens to be three in
number, and described them as effecting the destruction of mariners,
by luring them from their course with their singing.
