Engineers SuperstitiOn,s.

A cat crossed the track, the engineer
whistled "down brakes" ard then got
OF and rubbed himself and then the rail
with a rabbits foot.
"You may regard it as foolish" he
said, as we again flew along, ''but you
see / know. If hadn't seen that cat,
we would have had an accident by this
time. There was fine when laughed
at it, but have learned better Some
time ago a cat crossed the track in front
of me. My fireman begged me to stop
and let him rub the rail, but laughed
ut him. He vowed that we should have
an accident, and, sir, before we had
gone five miles further, the engine
jumped the track and did considerable
damage. hardly escaped being killed,
and since then l have carried rabbit S
foot. When six white cats cross the
track nothing can prevent calamity;
that is, if the engineer keeps on, but if
be gets off everything may be all right. :"
do the conductors believe in the
rabbit-foot theory?"
"Many of them do. Sometimes a
man boots at the idea, but after awhile
he is convinced, and gets him foot.
On some roads an owl claw is necessary,
and still on others nothing but the tip
e0d of a coon's tail will answer
'How is this discovery made?"
always by the oldest engineer.
When new road is built, the Oldest
engineer on the road can determine
what to use. The more dangerous the
road, the scarcer are the charms. l
know one road in Mississippi where
nothing but a piece of tigers ear will
answer. In consequence of this acct
dents are very frequent. A friend of
mine ran or the road and never had an
accident. He went to circus one
night and cut off the tip end OF a tigers
ear. The beast howled terribly and
died within fifteen minutes. The rabbit
foot is the standard, and, as a rule, will
do for the narrow gauge roads. On the
Eastern roads beef bone is the thing.
When road becomes known as beef
bone road it is regarded as the best.
Next is the goat bone, then the rabbit
foot, then the owl claw, then the coon
Tail, then the mole nose, and lastly the
tiger ear"
did you ever run on a mole-nose
road?"
"Yes, for a little while, but the COM
pany was doing a great deal to put the
road in good shape, and it soon became
a rabbit foot. have recently heard
that it has become a goat bone. -

A Hawaiian 1--we Tale.

The hero, Hiku, following a magic
arrow which he shoots from time TO
time, IS guided to a distant realm and
to the fair Princess Kawelu, who falls
IN love with him. But Hiku had prom
ised his mother to return and he leaves
suddenly, after which Kawelu pines and
uleS. Hearing of this, Hiku determines
TO descend into Lua o Milu, realm of the
dead, to bring her back. Making a
SWING 81 convolvulus vine, carrying
cocoanut shell in two close-fitting parts,
covering himself with rancid cocoa oil
SO as to smell like a corpse, Hiku is
lowered into the abyss. Owing to the
rancid OF! he is not there suspected of
beng allfe. Kawelu's soul recognizes
HIM and accepts his invitation to swing;
and while they are on the convolvulus
swinging they are gently drawn upward
by Hlku's friends above. At one time
kawelu's soul was about to. fit away
like butterfly, but Hiku secured her
IN the cocOanut shell. When they ar
rived at upper earth Hiku repaired to
the dead body of Kawelu, bored a hole in
the big toe of the left foot, forced the
reluctant soul from the cocoanut shell
into her foot, and, by rubbing, it was
carried up the leg and at length through
the whole form. Kawelu had no con-
seriousness of where she had been, and
her first words were, ''How could you
be so cruel as to leave me?" j. S. En-
erson, who relates this legend in
Thrum's Hawaiian Annual QSSS),
adds that in native superstition every
year the procession of ghosts (Oio)
marches down to point of the Waipio
valley where they enter Lua o Milu. "a
man now living in Waimea, of the best
reputation for veracity, states that
about twenty or thirty years ago he act
ually saw this ghostly company. He
was walking up this (Mahik) road when
he saw at distance the Oio appear, and
knowing that, should they encounter
him, his death would be inevitable, he
hid himself behind a tree, and, trem-
bling with fear, gazed in silence at the
dread spectacle. There was Kameha-
meha, the cOnqueror, with all his chiefs
and warriors in military array, thou
sands of heroes who had won renown in
the olden time. Though all were ST.
lent as the grave, they kept perfect
step as they marched along, and passing
through the woods down to Wapio, dis
appeared from his view" 1t will be
noted that this is not very different from
the spectral professions of Odin, Wal
demar, Arthur and others, though of
quite independent origin.
At this point my letter was inter-
rupted by the summons to observe a
large water-spout which broke and re-
newed itself nearer 10 us. 1t was mag
nificent spectacle, and the Arabian de-
scription of it as great Afreet is not
inapt. But l must spare your readers
any more mythology for time. The
legends have cited are those that, be-
lieve, cannot be found in any volume.
