Superstition and Agriculture.

A correspondent of the Glasgow
Herald, who has visited Foula. Scot
land, states that the fishermen are very
superstitious. She adds: Farming is
an avocation of at least as much conse-
auence to the inhabitants of Foula as
fishing, and in the prosecution of it
they are equally careful to act In ODE
dience to the ancient, unacknowledged,
but living faith. The land must be dug
agreeably to the apparent course of the
sun. The sowing of seed-corn should
be begun before noon on Saturday,
with the moon on the increase and the
tide flowing. Some put an egg into the
kishie among the seed-corn. When
grinding meal, turn the quern sunward.
II it be turned widergates the meal will
act as an aperient. When the moon is
on the increase is the proper time to
kill pig. A hen should be set on an
odd number of eggs and when the tide
is flowing. When man is killing a
sheep it Is unlucky for any one (espe-
cially woman) to pass between him
and the fire. In dressing the sheep
carefully remove the gall, spit three
times on it, and cover it with ashes, so
that the dog will not see it. Do not
mention the name of the pudding when
it is put in the pot or it will burst. If
any one can lay his hand On q eve
lamb that he covets, it will not thrive.
If the liver of q lamb crackles when
placed upon the fire, it is o sign that
its mother and her descendants will
be prolific. A COW should be fastened
in the byre with her head to the
north. A knife should be stuck into
the coupling above her head to keep
away trows, or fairies. Should she be
sick, take white money. razor, and q
pair of shears, and shake them in q
sieve above her back. If wound
made by trow's arrow he discovered
in her side, put finger on it until an
other person can daub the place with
tar. Take gunpower and fire it off be-
tween two peats near her head. Should
this fail in effecting cure, take he
cat and draw him by the tail across the
back of the COW until he fastens his
claws in her hide, and if this does not
cure her nothing will. When q COW
has lost the power of chewing her cud
wrap some gunpowder in piece OF
dough and put it into q dogs mouth
and then make the COW swallow it.
Three stones taken from brook and
three stones taken from the ground
ought to be placed above the head of q
COW that has been given as o dowry or
tocher, 80 that she may have no desire
to return to her old quarters"

The Canny Scot Abroad.

The Macquays are an admirable in
stance of the ways in which the @canny
Scot" almost invariably contrives to
make bis way in foreign parts, says the
London Life. The father of the pres
ent head of the firm went to Florence
in the grand ducal days, when the
City of Flowers was the capital of the
little duchy of Tuscany. Shrewd, pa
tient, red-headed, typical Scotsman,
he quickly pushed his way upward,
and, mastering all the devious details
of Tuscan finance, made himself ex-
tremely useful to the needy ruler of
that little kingdom. He was one of the
old coterie that used TO meet regularly
Mt poor Charles Levers house for
their rubber of whist, and many trick
did that talented author play upon the
Florentine banker, whose ire he would
arouse by persistently chattering dur
ing the progress of the game. Lever
was, probably, the only man who could
convulse his hearers with inimitable
stories and at the same time play
splendid hand at whist Old Macquay
left three sons, strangely dissimilar in
appearance, but all possessed Of con-
siderable talent, and the firm of Mac
quay e. Co. is now as well known in
Italy as the Pope of Rome himself.

More Useful than the Campaign Breed.

There has occurred phenomenon in
the barn-yard of Mr.. j. j. Turner that
is inexplicable-a veritable rooster lay
ing eggs. The rooster goes on the nest
every day, and after the functions of
the hen have been performed he comes
off, utters derisive cackle to the rest
of the fowls and goes on about his
business as though nothing had hap
pened. This peculiar fowl has been
watched closely, and he has been seen
to go on the nest daily, come off cack-
ling, and there was the egg. No hen
was ever seen about the nest. This
fowl has aroused the admiration of our
soul, and is an example worthy of the
emulation of the husbandman. He has
seen the tolls and struggles of the over
worked and greatly oppressed hens and
has come to their rescue and helped
them to supply the demand now seri-
ously felt in commercial circles-and at
the clearinghouse. He cares moth
ing for a protective tariff, tariff for
revenue only, or free trade; his only de-
sire is to meet the demands for home
consumption and to see that the Christ
mas nog is not wanting. What the

Travelling on the old Mckenzie trail,
on the third day we stopped to lunch
and water our horses at the fow-out OF
the Blanco Cor White) River. which
flows through Blanco Canyon for forty
miles, and which, il should be remem-
bered, Is only the fresh water fork of
the Brazos. We had halted at the gate
OF the Texas Eden, where the painter
would have stood entranced, pencil and
brush being all too tame to put in lines
or color the grand landscape where
earth and brush, and hill and water,
and cloud and sky, mingled into an in
describable picture. The sun was shin
ing brightly adown the valley and upon
the mountain bluffs, looming up hun
dreds of feet above the limpid stream
flowing through the center of the
canyon. The grass, which was tinged
with the autumn brown in the open
valley, appeared in great plats and
patches in the hollows under the
shadows of the canyon bluffs. Myriads
OF flowers, blooming and withered,
cropped out from the hillock, rock
base, and open prairie. Rare among
them was the Texas star, five-leaved
flower, which heads to the north-a
veritable fower-magnet. Rare it is,
and growing still rarer as the rude hoof
of horse and cattle continue to trample
it out. The hardy Towering cactus is
everywhere. Nature made big effort
in the spreading mouth of Blanco Can
yon. This canyon is about forty-fve
miles long, and widens from its source
like wedge, until at its mouth there
is fifteen or sixteen miles of plain and
brush and rich grasses. AS we cross
the crystal stream flowing over lime
stone and gypsum beds, we follow the
trail up over the bluff, where the fossil
sea-shells crop out on every bare sur
face, and there, stretching away to the
far distance, we see, and for the first
time realize, the extent of the ranges
known as the "Staked Plains" In the
wonderfully clear sunlight we see herds
of cattle feeding, and, away toward a
hill range, some startled antelopes are
scampering off in alarm. This trail up
the steep bluff over which we have just
come has been beaten into n smooth
path by the countless feet OF buffalo
and antelope and Indians for centuries.
Here. where the savage in his primitive
brutality once hunted the noble game,
we now see cattle feeding undisturbed
in the great range of the Kentucky
Cattle Raising Company. The buffalo
have departed, but in their place have
come short-horn cattle, showing the
peaceful marriage between the wild
cattle of the West and the thorough
breds of the blue grass of Kentucky

''FRozEN FACTS is a purely American

BRAIN work, when wisely directed,
adds to rather than shortens life. No
class of men reach a ripe old age more
certainly than the Woodworking pro-
fessors in the various colleges of the
land. Among no class can be found
more venerable men, or those whose
heads can be crowned with moro hon.
ors. Unlike men in other walks of
life, they do not light their candles at
both ends. IL money making and am
bition are the chief aims of life. our
college professors and presidents have
made somewhat of failures. But who
that looks upon the venerable ex-Presi-
dent Woolsey, just retiring from active
work at Yale at the age of 83, will say
that his life has not been grand sue
cess. The same could be said of a
multitude of others in this honored
class who have so wisely obeyed
natures laws that four score finds them

equations and professions ten or twenty
years younger. Ocean.

Doctor prescribed it, and Mr.. Hicks went
home without much confidence in the power
of "Favorite Remedy" to do him more good
than other medicines had done before. But
hope clings to straws, and he thought there
might be one chance out of many in his ia
vor. He followed the directions and was both
surprised and delighted to find himself pres
