Sea.COast Superstitions.

Sea-coast people, like sailors, are full
of superstitions. Near Cape Henlopen
there are some remarkable dunes, or
hills of sand. about which the fishermen
have hung legends as remarkable. These
dunes arise out of the sea, apparently
without any cause and advance steadily
to the south, inexorably burying what
ever comes in their way. A lofty pine
forest near Henlopen shows now but
few twigs of its topmost branches. The
coast people account for them by the
story that pirate ship was wrecked on
this beach in 1850, and that, when the
drowned buccaneers were given Christ
ian burial the angry sea sent in these
living hills cf sand to punish the sacri-
lege 1t is fact that they have cov-
cred the homes Of the people who bur-
led the pirates, while the graves long
since were buried by the tide and the
bones washed back into the ocean.
A singular fact is that of the large
dunes which exist in the Landes of
Southern France, similar legands are
told. These vast hills, in their terrible
march, have covered whole villages and
farms, and according to the coast peo-
pie, they are always the messengers of
the sea to avenge some impiety against
God.
Among the fishermen on our North
ern coast, tits believed that child can
not die until the mother submits to let
him go. "God," they say, "gives the
mother a share absolutely in her child,
with which even He will not meddle,
and until she gives it up Death cannot
take it" Another belief is that death
among coast people always takes place
with the turn of the tide, or that /" the
soul goes out with the sea-"
Farther south there is superstition
which sentences the souls of those un-
stable human beings who have been
neither good nor bad in life, who had
neither courage to resist the devil nor
openly to join him, to float forever in
the mist and fog, unable to rest foot on
land or sea. Another makes the sea-
hill and fishes the abode of condemned
spirits.
1t would be curious to trace these su-
perstitiOns to their source and find
whether they have originated in the
imagination of sailors and fishermen
during their lonely lives, or are merely
the fragments of old heather beliefs
still lingering in these isolated corners
of the world, among the descendants of
old Saxons and Soandinavians. YOUTHS

The Development Of Fungoid Diseases.

The Boston Herald prints long in
terview with an eminent specialist of
that city on the subject of pulmonary
consumption, which, it is well known,
is a permanent habit of the New Eng land
coast towns. The following passage
copied from that interview upon the too
common habit of shutting out light and
air from our sitting-rooms has value and
force in many other localities:
"What are the conditions favorable
to the development of consumption?
"There are many. Among the most
active, proper to be mentioned here,
are bad air, darkened rooms, no sun
light, exposure, dampneSs, etc. To
raise mushrooms for eating you select
a dark, damp place. That is, these
conditions are favorable to the develop
ment Of fungi. Now, yeast is fungus.
All housekeeperS are familiar with the
best modes of its cultivation in the rails
ing of bread. Those who would agree
with the Salisbury plans are prepared
to see that, if people keep themselves
continuously shut up in dark rooms to
keep out flies and save the carpets,
breathe the bad air, etc., they are put
ting themselves into a condition favora-
BILE to the development of fungoid
growths on and in their systems. More
over, why the Bowditch dogma of
dampness in localities is favorable to
consumption is because this is one of
the conditions of cryptogamic growth
1t is a fact long noticed that New En-
gland people, to 60 no further, keep
their houses shut as if air and sunlight
were the natural enemies of mankind.
Ride five miles in a carriage on com
mon highway, anywhere in this State,
and l venture to say that nine-tenths of
the houses will be seen to have their
blinds closed and windows shut |
think such proceedings are often invita-
tions to consumption. | suppose the
reason is not that the people do not
love their health, but that they love
their carpets and hate flies more"

Prince NapOIeon's Boot Maker.

A diverting story, humorously Illus
trative of Prince Jerome Bonaparte's
proverbial thriftiness, has recently gone
the round of the Partisan newspapers.
1t appears that during the latter part of
his cousins reign the Prince became
dissatisfied with his boot-maker and
formally withdrew his custom from that
artist, who continued nevertheless, to
ornament the front of his shop with the
attractive inscription, "Purveyor to His
Imperial Highness, the Prince Napo-
leon" Noticing this delusive an
nouncement one day, as he drove past
his shop, Prince Jerome sent member
of his household to the bOot-maker with
positive orders that the inscription
should be forthwith removed. AS,
however, he subsequently found that his
commands had been disregarded, he
took legal proceedings against the boot
maker for unlawful and mendacious ad-
vertisement of his (the Prince's) patron
age. The defendants counsel, in the
course of his pleadings. endeavored in
the following ingenious manner to show
cause why his client should not be COM
PEELED to withdraw the offending in
scription, arguing that such a decision
on the part of the court would infallibly
result in serious prejudice and loss to
the boot-maker. For he observed,
"hitherto passerS-by whose attention
was attracted by the announcement in
question stopped, entered the shop and
bought boots freely of my client. And
why did they SO? Because they had al
ready said to themselves, Prince Ma
poleon's boot-maker! That must be a
good workman, and an nncommonly
cheap one into the bargain. We will
give him trial If you force him to
remove his inscription the peripatetic
public will certainly infer that he must
have raised his prices and will hurry
past his shop with averted eyes" The
boot-maker, it need scarcely be added,
'Ost the suit, but one cannot help regret
ting that so humorous plea should
have been disallowed by a French tri-
bunal.-Lmadon Telegraph.
