Superstition. of the Educated.

President Garfield, although a man OF
much sterling practical ability, whose
life had been SO full Of hard experience,
was afflicted with an unconquerable ele-
ment of superstition. His faith in lucky
and unlucky numbers was implicit.
F or many years certain combinations OF
figures haunted him, and he was con
stantly expecting ominous events to take
place on certain dates, and although IN
variably disappointed, he never ceased to
form fresh representations. Such traits
of superstition are not so uncommon,
even in this pOsitivistic Nineteenth CEN
tury, as one is naturally inclined to sup
pose.
There are as many hard headed, prac-
tical men Of business to-day who would
not start q fresh enterprise on Friday
as there are ignorant seamen who de-
clare that the rats desert ship only
when she is doomed TO sink. Thousands
of well educated men and women there
are who would feel insulted If accused of
believing in ghosts, but who would frame
any excuse for not sitting down at table
with twelve of their friends. AS TO the
uneduCated classes, superstition is as
rampant among them as in the days when
poor old women were set on the ducking
stool. In a walk through any country
village you will scarcely find farm
house without its lucky horseshoe, its
charm for corns and warts, its terror OF
crossed knives and broken looking glasses

As a people the Dutch are not hand
some. There are handsome types, but
they have come in with Flemish i'm
miGrations or by accidental admixture
with some of the blonde tribes of north
Germany. They are evidently not the
old Batavians recognized in history
100 years before the Christian era, and,
by singular persistence of descent,
perpetuated till the present day. This
perseverance of ancient types through
thousands of years of pestilence, OF sub
mergencc, OF desolating wars, of inter
necine contests, of successive immigra-
tions, is one Of the marSels of history
The Flemish type is characterized by
length of nose, breadth of forehead,
smallness of chin and shOrtness of face.
The true Dutch type has length of nose,
narrowness of forehead, thinness OF feat
ure, gauntness Of body and often con
siderable length of limb. These details
are subject to notifications. The types
more nearly approaching it are those
often seen in Denmark.
You can wander for days through the
streets, museums and public places OF
Amsterdam, Harlem, The Hague and
Rotterdam and not meet a handsome
woman, young or old, unless she is for
| eigner. The climate, like that Of Boston,
proves more trying to the gentler sex
This absence of personal attractiveness
| in young women and girls is not without
certain pathos. The faces of old women
| become thin as blade, the nose sharI
as needle, the complexion preternatur
| ally clear and white. There is no room
| for wrinkles on a surface so small anf
thin. Surmount this queer face with on'
| of the close fitting, white native caps
and put about it quantity OF the Gu
rious gold ornaments of the country, ant
you have personal ensemble to be re
membered. d.-Holland Cor. San Francisco

A SUSPICIOUS cATTLE DEAL.
Two Strangers Locked mp on the Charge of
stealing Two Fine Cattle.


Last Thursday Stewart Zischler. the
butcher, told officers Nicklas and Mast that
two men were trying TO sell him couple
of fine cattle for three cents pound, and
that their actions were very suspicious.
"Baldy" and Adam have been laying for
the men ever since, but did not find
them until this morning. This morning
they were at Schmidts grocery, i'll
the West End with Butcher Daily, to whom
the had sold the cattle for $50. They eyi-
IDENTIFY saw the officers coming, for the one
giving his name as Charles Jones stepped
out OF the grocery. He was nailed by the
officers and asked if he had any connection
with the man in the grocery, and he said
that he had not When the officers en-
tered the grocery Daily was just paying
over the $50 for the cattle and Nicklas
tapped the man, who gave his name as VIII
liam Jones, on the shoulder, and told him
to consider himself under arrest William
had fine detectives badge, and claimed to
belong to the fly" profession. He tainted
when the officers put the irons on him. The
men were patrolled to jail, and
there Charles attempted TO swallow
| letter he had in his possession. Officer
Mast choked him and compelled him tC
give up the letter. 1t showed pretty con
| clusively that his name was Charles Ii
Brown. The men were locked up on sus
picion of having stolen the cattle.
Officers Mast and Sicklas did nice
piece of work on the case and are to be COL
yratulated

The Craze for Riches.

Henry f. Abbey, the noted theatrical
manager, is a slender man, who carries
himself well. He has a round, ruddy face
and black mustache. He is always care
fully dressed. Mr.. Abbey was originally
a jeweler, having learned the trade in his
fathers shop in westerIi town. He
may be seen riding about the city, his
favorite conveyance being a hanson.
Abbey has had his ups and downs, but
through them he has preserved an in
difference to wealth which is remarkable.
Chatting with me the other day he
said: Il cannot understand why men are
crazy to be rich. II man has all he
wants l should think that would be
enough. Iwould rather be in the place
of one of the younger members of the
Vanderbilt family than in the place of one
of the elders. Take Frederick Wander
bilt, for instance, with s, 900, 900 or so,
600, 900, which is ample. He has nothing
TO do but to enjoy himself, but Cornelius
and William X, with $40, 900, 900 or $50,
000, 900 apiece, have all the responsibility
of keeping up the family name and trans
mitting their wealth unbroken TO some
body who will maintain the family name
and fortune. They are in trouble all the
time, whereas the younger sons have
nothing TO do but to enjoy themselves" "

Mr. Greeley was a queer character and

old gentleman's blunder, when he came
in and asked the cause. The slip Of his
pen being pointed out, Mr. Greeley re-
marked in his squeaky voice:

paper who could make such a id fool

HE pIPhThERIA SCARE.

superintendent Whites Statement-What
Health Ofhcer Dunlap says On the Sub
ject.
There is a widely-differing array of senti-
ments on the subject of diphtheria in
Springfield at present 1t was expected
that the school board would take some ac-
ton in the matter last night-probably or
der the schools closed for time-but they
did nothing but talk. As seen in the regu-
lar report of the boards proceedings pub
lfshed elsewhere, Superintendent White
made the startling admission that 500 chill
dren were out of the schools from the dis
ease through a dread of it. Many people
think that this fact alone is sufficient ground
for prompt and effective action ON the part
of the board and the city council.
DIR. Chas. W. Dunlap was appointed
health officer during the smallpox scare of
1888. and has since held the office, no sub
sequent appointment having been made.
He said this morning. when asked about
the subject: Il take little stock in this
diphtheria scare. believe that
the extent of the disease is
widely exaggerated. / know of -four
cases on East street, which were reported aS
diphtheria, which are simply mild cases OF
liberated sore throat from a cold. AdoctOr
told me yesterday that he had six cases OF
diphtheria last week. but that they're all
lrcU nOlc! Think of that-malignant diph-
iberia cured in a week. tell you, it isn't
diphtheria at all have but one genuine
case now. and / believe have had as many
as any Of them.
If there is so much diphtheria as some
of the doctors insist, why don't they report
the cases to the health officer through the
mayor. An ordinance was passed Jan. sc,
1888, making it the duty Of every physician
or person to report any case of malignant,
infectious or contagious diseases. under pen
atty of a maximum fine of $50. There may
be more OF less diptheria III the city, but to
nothing like the extent that some of these
alarmists would have us believe"

Courtesy of English Aristocrats.

Every American who has travelled
abroad knows that English men and
women of established position are habitu-
ally brusque TO strangers, interiors, or
equals, while in private houses they are
sometimes capable of a cool impertinence
which astonishes an American. A distin-
guished lady of fortune and position, who
for years had made every properly accred
tied English man and woman welcome to
her beautiful home and cultivated circle,
passed three months at a well known Eng
lish water cure with her invalid husband.
In the house were several English people
of rank, friends and relatives of whom
she had entertained in this country. Not
one of them recognized her existence in
any way. not even by good morning"
on the stairs or bow in the gardens,
their position being that they did not go
to a "cure" to make acquaintance.
I'm three months, said the lady, 1.-The
creaking of my own boots was the only

of a belief in the courtesy of the English
peerage. ."-Harper's Bazaar.

The Nye- Riley combination, though one
of the best entertainments of the kind that
has visited Springfield for long time, did
not draw very large audience
at Blacks opera house last night but
those that were present highly appreciated
their wftticism, and loudly applauded every
recital.
Bill Nye's humor is made clear-cut and
irresistible by his semi-Ser:ouS manner
while upon the stage. and kept the audience
in one continual roar. In between Nye's
flashes of humOr, James Whitcomb Riley's
wittiest of dialect recitals and acting were
remarkably laughable, and it is doubtful if
his equal exists in the class of readings he
