Favoritc Notions which Are Encouraged

1t is very wise to set our faces against
superstitions, but who in his secret heart
does not encourage q favorite one? /
never met the person who did not.
There are many people who hate to see
the new moon over the left shoulder; if
they do, somehow something always
goes wrong" they declare. They do not
believe such things, of course; but SO
it is.
Another can not endure n stranger who
parts him from a companion with whom
he is walking in the street; others VIII
not raise umbrellas over their heads In
the house, and there are men who turn
pale if they spill salt.
A dry goods merchant OF great wealth
believed that his fortune would depart
when he ceased to p~atronize an old apple
woman on a certain corner, and there
are many who would fear for their lives
if they lost a certain trinket or jewel.
1t is said that the mother of the
R~othschilds always lived in her queer
little house, in q crooked street, ito keep
her sons their luck" Every morning
servants took her to their splendid houses
in a sedan chair, but she is always slept
in the house where they were born.
Most people have a special dream that
forebodes evil; and l know many who
declare that it is a fact that one who
boasts of being $50 very wellr to-day,
finds himself i'll on the morrow. There
may be some good reason for this, it act
ually happens SO often.
To tumble upstairs is supposed to post
pone n wedding. you'll not be married
this year." cries some one. And to turn
back three times is regarded by many as
n warning to remain at home.
Terror seizes n brides heart If it rains
on her wedding morn, and to wear the
marriage ring for n moment before it is
put on for good is believed to bring ill
luck indeed.
As for al opal-the prettiest stone pos
sible, though a very minor jewell con-
fess to being superstitious about that 1t
is the %silliest fancy in the world, but l
would not put one on my finger for
anything. Its baleful way of changing
from red or blue to stone color is fiend-
ish, and its fire, that glows and grows
dim by turns, is uncanny.

SENATOR CULLoM may be a little off
on the subject of the Henncpin canal but
his head is wholly devoid Of undulations
when it comes to sea coast defense. In
a recent speech, the senator said: Il
despise the policy which controls this
government now and has controlled it IN
the past, and which has resulted in our
almost helpless condition in SO far as pre-
p~aration for defense is concerned. We here
in congress do not agree upon the exact
thing to do, and therefore do nothing.
We drift along with no coast deienscs, o
flag upon the seas, no preparation to
meet emergencies of war on land or lake
or sea that may IN time arise, with no
assertion of a positive national foreign
policy, and with an apparent sense Of
self security that cun ; - - .sene' to
a strong man asleep unconscious of i'm

To Awaken tho ohin..s rsonls.

There are only three influences which
can be successfully exerted upon the
Chinese people to awaken them to their
real condition as compared with the peo-
pie of other countries; first, war and
diplomacy, which work slowly and spas
medically, but very effectively at times;
secondly, commerce, which has done
and is doing much along the sea coast;
and thirdly, the missionaries, who push
out into the interior armed with dog
matte religion, and good wo.ks are
slowly making their way, though not
nearly $ much by the former as the
latter. They are truly the advanced
guard of civilization; and while they
carry its highest and most abstract prin-
ciples TO those who are but little fitted by
habit or education to receive or Il, err
stand them, they are surely and steadily
gaining the confidence and regard of those
among whom they are laboring. The
more practical their work becomes. the
more rapidly will good results flow from
it.-Peking Cor. New York Sun.

The latent force in the human system
is a great study. Every man has such a
reserve capital, and it is always used I'M
less n man is instantly killed. Sometimes
it is used piecemeal. as it were. as in the
cases of persons who use alcoholic stimu-
lants regularly. / am u believer in the
use of slim ulants-1 believe there are
times when they tide a man over tasks,
etc, when without their use it would be
impossible to overcome them. But those
times are infrequent, and l do not be-
lieve in the use of stimulants otherwise,
as it rapidly exhauSts this latent force,
and when the time comes that a man
needs it, it is gone. Take a man who
rr7-uiarly, and he may as well
give up. That is the only way we take
alcoholic stimulants, but with other
~nationalities it is different. For instance,
the Frenchman. He takes his wine at
his meals. 1t draws from his latent force,
but it adds no 1t in assisting digestion
and in increasing his appetite for food.
Still, it is not the latent force that nature
gave him. and he is better off without it.

Tobacco Kindness Becoming Frequent.
The anti-tobacco people ought to have
their attention called to the fact that
tobacco blindness" ia becoming quite a
common affection. AT present there
are several persons being treated for it
at one London hospital. 1t first takes
the form of -color-blindness;' the suf-
ferers who have smoked themselves into
this condition being quite unable to
distinguish the color of a piece of red
cloth held up before them. That is the
popular medical test, though there
is also II moro scientific one.
Eventually the victim TO "tobocco-blind-
ness" sometimes loses his eyesight alto
gether. Although smoking is to n large
extent the cause of the malady, and SO
gives it its name, heavy drinking is also
partly responsible. Unless the smoking
and drinking go together, the tobacco
blindness is not serious. A proof of this
is. that if a doctor has n case of it in
hand. he always insists on abstinence,
when, AS n rule. the sufferer gradually
regains his sight.-St. James Gazette.
