A STRANGE SUPERSTITION.

Colored Woman Refuses to Let Her
Child BE Buried In n Grave Dug
"Crosswise OF the World"
LEAvENwoRTH, KAN, Nov. 21.-That
section of the northern part of this city
which is populated by colored people is
in ferment over a curious case of super
stition. A little child named Mary Carter
died from injuries received from being
scalded, and her mother being very poor
several ladies took hold of tho case,
watched over the child, and raised money
to defray all expenses, including those
of the burial. Enough money having
been collected, a coffin was provided, with
plate marked "Our Baby" and the re-
mains were placed in it, ready for burial.
When the time came for burial the sun
was shining brightly on mother earth,
and everything seemed to point to a
quiet and respectable burial. grave
had been dug In pleasant and
beautiful part of Mount Muncie cem-
etery, and few friends gathered around
it. As the coffin was lowered into tho
ground the minister stepped forward and
after few remarks was about to perform
the ceremony of throwing the handful of
earth on the coffin, when, with bound,
the mother, who had until this time stood
silently by, sprang forward. and, with
Don't you throw no earth on my child 4!
That grave is dug crossways of the
world !" made tho sexton stop tho burial
She had the coffin raised, and brought the
body back to the city. Immediately the
entire population of tho north part OF
town was in q Juror, and hundred
tongues were wagging, many saying a
curse would surely fall on the inhabi-
tants, apropos of the i'll omen.

WASPS AND SPIDERS.

Is the Texas Spider More intellectual
Mr.. Seth Green takes deep interest
in those interesting little insects known
rs wasps. He does not do so uninten-
tionally, like the boy does who shakes
the limb of a peach tree with a wasp's
nest on it, but deliberately, in the in
terest of science. Not long since Mr..
Green, who appears to be man OF
means, having abundance of leisure
time on his hands, observed mud
wasp skirmishing around the nest of a
spider. MIR. Green says the wasp crept
noiselessly up to the nest. Did he ex-
pect the wasp to call out in loud
voice to the spider that he had war
rant for the arrest of that identical in
sect? The next political move of the
wasp was to pub the web neryously a
few times. as if there were fly caught
in the tolls. The spider was not well
posted about the management of con-
ventions. Instead of either sending
out friend to investigate. or refusing
to submit his name at all. he rushed
out in pursuit of the nomination, or
rather the fly. Instead of receiving
the nomination by reclamation, the spi-
der was very much discouraged at tind-
ing a formidable opponent in the wasp,
who quietly ran him through, and
then bore him off in triumph. The
most surprising thing to the ordi-
nary mind is that the spider should
allow himself to be deceived SO
easily. If there is professional
statesman among the insects, it is
certainly the spider. He is always
spinning out plans to capture the
fat taxpayer. That is the way he
makes his living, and in fact, he
does not know much else. The ant,
not the spider, received coinpli-
mentary notice from Solomon for in
dustry and sobriety. The bee is
often used to represent the toiling
masses, while the spider never dis
plays any energy whatever, except in
getting up campaign plans and manipu-
lating conventions. The old trick of a
strong candidate inducing his rival to
submit his name to the convention,
so he can be slaughtered in order
to make room for his suggestive
friend. is so old and transparent that
no Texas spider would ever allow
himself to be taken in that way. 1t
is cred;bly reported that the Texas
mud wasp has to actually capture
the live fly and place him in the web
of the spider, and even then the
spider frequently refuses to come ont
and allow his name to be used in
the convention. The great question
that excites the people just now is,
whether it would not be better if both
the wasp and spider were simultaneous
ly sappressed?-Teras Sittings.

where they can develop freely, to
form a pleasing contrast to the leafy

striking and pleasant variety, whilst
