OAT'ES.

Men swear by the objects which are most
precious to them. The natives Of New
Guinea swear by the sun, or by certain
mountain, or by a weapon. The savages
of the Brazilian forests raise the hand
over the head or thrust it into the hair, or
they will touch the points of their weapons.
The New Guinea savage, holding up an
arrow, calls on heaven to punish him if he
lies. An Abyssinian Chief, who had sworn
an oath he disliked, has been seen to serape
it off his tongue and spit it out. There
are still places in Germany where the false
witness reckons to escape the spiritual
consequences Of perjury by crooking one
finger, to make it, suppose not straight
but crooked oath; or he puts his left
hand on his side to neutralize what the
right hand is doing

TGEE RLARNEY STONE.

Five miles to the west of the City of
Cork, in a valley where two streams
meet, is the little village of Blaney,
with it's castle whose fame is widespread,
For high in the northeastern side of the
castle is a stone, and he who is adven-
turous enough to reach it, and has faith
enough to kiss it, will be sure to possess
thenceforth gift of marvellous efficacy.
Honeyed words will flow from his los;
persuasive power will hang on his utter
anees; he will win his way everywhere
and with anybody; and when mankind,
and much more womankind, are taken
captive by the witchery Of his tongue,
they say "He has kissed the Blarney
Stone" There are two stones which
each claim to be the real talisman-one
on the sumit of the castle, being about
two feet square, with the date 1903; the
other, that which records the date of
the building, 1446. Thanks to Mr..
Jefferey, anyone may kiss the former.
To kiss the latter the votary must be
let down twenty feet by a pulley and
tackle. Try the first. If it works the
charm, well; if not, let no amount of
"blarney" induce You to attempt the
other.

What right has any one endowed with
an ordinary share of intellect and blessed
with respectable share Of good health, to
despond? What, is the cause of despon-
dency? What is the meaning of it2 The
cause is weak mind, and the meaning is
sin. Providence never intended that one of
His creatures should be victim of desire
to feel and look the gloo1a of the thunder
cloud. Never despond, friendly reader,
for one of the first entrances of vice to the
heart is ma de through the. instrumentality
of dependency. Although we cannot ex-
pect all our days. and hours to be gilded
by sunshine, we must not for mere .momen-
tary griefs suppose that they are to be en-
shrouded in the ,mists of misery, or clouded
by the opacity of sorrow and misfortune.

and 2,748 women. They further state
that during the past Ave years drunken
ness among women had increased
in Modern Athens thirty-six per

Bat their report is not all shadow, and
to relieve the gloom of these figures
they assert that they had found no proof
of an assertion sometimes made that a
system of tippling during the day, both
amoug men and women, was on the in
crease; and they state, also, as favor
able circumstance, that drunkenness
among skilled workman was much less
prevalent than it was fifteen or twenty
years ago.

TINE PARISHES.

The Parsees are descendants of the an
clients Persians who were expelled from
Paris by Mohammedan conquerors, and
who first settled at Surat about eleven
hundred years ago. According to the first
Indian census, they do not number more
than 10000 souls, of whom about $4,000
are found in the city of Bombay, the re-
naming 10000 being in different parts Of
India, but chiefly in Guzerrt and the Bonn
bay Presidency. Though mere drop in
the ocean of 24O 900, 900 inhabitants they
form most important and Influential
body of men, emulating Europeans ir
energy and enterprise, rivaling them in
opulence, and initiating them in many Of
their habits.

ACTORS AND Ord AGE.

Speaking Of age, we see that the great
actors live to more than an average age,
one reason being that to be great actor
requires unusual strength and vitality.
John Philip Kemble reached sixty-six
years, while his brother Charles was
seyenty-nine years old. Mrs. Siddons died
at eighty-six years old. Junius Brutus
Booth, notwithstanding his drunkenness,
passed his fity-ffth year. Charles Kean
lived ten years longer, and Macready lasted
till eighty years old. Charlotte Cushman
died at sixty years Of age, and Edwin For
rest at sixty-fye years. Tom Hamblin
reached nearly the same age. Going a
little further back we find that Garrick
lived to sixty-three years, and Butterton to
seventy-fve years of age. Barton Booth,
of Pope's day, was the shortest lived Of
any actor of note, next to Kean. lie was
only fifty-two at the time of his death. As
general thing play actors have seldom
come under the criminal list, but their So
cial sins are sufficiently fragrant. No acto,
of note has ever reached the death penalty
except Wilkes Booth, who stands in soil
tary infamy.

A correspondent of the English Mechanic
insists that musical sounds stimulate the
growth of plants. He gives an instant in
point. In a barren section of Portugal he
built small conservatory, and endeavored
to cultivate roses and ether flowers under
shelter, but in spite Of his precautions and
industry, they did not flourish. One day
he took a harmonium into the greenhouse,
and played for several hours. The prac.
tice he maintained for several months, and
was surprised to seea gradual but rapid
recovery of health on the part of his
plants. He attributed their improvement
to the influence of music, and unfolds the
theory that the singing of birds is condu

how he got away and where he was, but
there was nothing detnite till he boldly

THE COLOR LINE SETTLED BY THE
U S. SUPREME COURT.

U S. SUPREME COURT.
The much agitated subject Of the civil
rights OF colored people has recently
been settled by the United states Su.
preme Court. The case is worthy OF
more than passing notice. Suit was
brought by wealthy colored woman Of
New Orleans by the name of Josephine
DeCair, against John G. Benson, a
steamboat owner, for refusing to furnish
her with a stateroom in the first or up
per cabin OF his boat. She was offered a
berth in the lower cabin, and Informed
that by the regulations of the boat COL
ored people could not be admitted into
the upper cabin as passengers. The
plaintiff declined to take berth in the
lower cabin, but passed the night sitting
in chair in thelrear of the upper cabin.
Suit was brought in the District Court
OF the State OF Louisiana, under State
constitutional provision which says
that "All persons shall enjoy equal
rights and privileges upon any convey.
ancs Of a public character" aud law
passed to enforce this in 1869. Judgment
was rendered in favor Of the plaintif
for 81, 900 and costs. Defendant Benson
appealed to the Supreme Court of the
State, which Court affirmed the judg-
ment, whereupon he sued out writ Of
error and removed the cause to the Su-
preme Court Of the United States. The
errors assigned were: First, that the
holding that the State law was valid ;
second, in deciding that its provisions
are not regulations OF commerce be-
tween the States, and that in deciding
that these provisions are not in compact
with the Federal Constitution.
The decision OF the United States Su-
preme Court was given by Justice Gill;
ford, who, after disposing of the minor
technical issues, proceeded to the main
point in regard to which so much dis.
cussion and litigation has been had, to.
wit: AS to the right Of public carriers OF
passengers or landlords to establish
regulations which shall keep colored
people apart from whites, it no substan.
sial rights are denied them.
The dictum of the Court was in sub.
stance that by the laws OF Congress it 10
clear that q steamer carrying passen.
gers may have separate cabins and
dining for white persons and
persons Of color, for the plain reason
that the laws Of Congress contain
nothing to prohibit such an arrange.

without making any special contract

obliges the carrier to furnish suitable

such case is not entitled to any particu
