that We had struck, but as I heard the

we not stopped in time

fool of a passenger came up and asked
why we had stopped so quick, swearing

He Gave Her His Hand.

The train was slipping along toward
Elmira at forty miles an hour, when
passenger came into the smoker and
called out:
Now, gents, there's woman in the
car back there whose case appeals to our
sympathies. She's a poor widow, and
Just as she got on the train some one
picked her pocket of $50. She hasn't one
red cent to her name, and will be among
strangers when she gets to Eimira.
Come, now, let's chip in
Every man in the car cheerfully con-
tributed to the fund-every man but one.
He was young man about 25 years old.
poorly dressed, and evidently without
much money; in fact, he explained
"Gents, I'm as sorry as anybody can
he, but I'm powerful short on money. I'll
tell you what I'll do. If she isn't over
40. and hasn't got game leg, or a
her as soon as we reach Elmira, and
take her right out to my farm"
"Weil, come in and see her and
talk the matter over"
The young man went back to the car
with him. and he was fayorah!y im-
pressed at first sight. He sal down and
stated his intentions and circumstances.
and wound up with:
I've bin looking for wife for a year
past and haven't found anybody except
cross-eved gal and rheumatic widow.
If you are agreed we'll be married
to-day"
The woman said it was pretty sudden,
but she guessed it was the best she
could do. A purse of $50 was handed
her, and as the pair got off at E!mira,
hand in hand, the man said to u hack
man:
Here you! Drive these two fond
hearts to the highest preacher, and drive

She Blistered Him.

A young man goes twice week to see
a young lady residing few miles in the
country, making his Journeys on foot.
On Friday night he remained with the
girl until midnight and found it dark
and showing when he went to the door.
He disliked to go home in the dark
ness and limited the fact to his girl,
but as she did not invite him to re-
main over night, he resorted to decep-
tion to accomplish his design and is now
sorry for it.
He let himself fall gently upon the
steps and at once set up groan. The
girl shrieked, the men folks came out,
picked him up and put him to bed. His
prospective mother-in-law inquired the
location OF his injuries, and when he
said in the small of his back she left the
room hurriedly.
He had just began to congratulate
himself upon the success of his ruse as
the window, when his intended mother
in-law returned to the room bearing
huge mustard plaster, which she clapped
over the region of the kidneys and sat
down TO wait the result.
For two hours he writhed in pain,
and by that time q blister of sufficient
size to satisfy the old lady appeared
and he was left alone to repent his

qhR YRlArEEE SUPERSTITION.
Its Strength and Prevalence, and Snme At,
temnfA fn Cnre 1t.

N. Lesclide, who has lately published
& volume of Propos de Table of the great
Trench poet, was for many years the
daily companion of the author of "Les
Chatiments," and he tells us, among
many other things, that Victor Hugo con-
fessed to the possession OF only one
superstition.
Nothing could induce him TO form one
OF thirteen at table.
Whenever a thirteenth arrived at the
las moment it was NJ. Lesclide's business
10 pick up his hat and depart.
The vitality CT this hoary superstition,
which no doubt originally grew out of
the story of the last supper and of the
tragic events which so quickly followed
1t, is remarkable
1 Any one who takes the trouble TO refer
to the accepted tables may see for him
self what is really the expectation of
human life
1t will be found that, in order to obtain
mathematical probability that one out
OF a given thirteen healthy persons will
expire during the following twelve
months, the average age of the thirteen
must, in default OF the presence of one or
two on the verge Of centenarianism, he
very great indeed.
It must, in fact. be eighty-eight years,
and IL Is scarcely necessary to say that,
in practice the united years of 3 festive
party Of thirteen never amount to the
requisite ll44.
The annual rate of mortality among
males and females of all ages is only CHe
in forty-one, and forty-one, therefore
instead of thirteen, should be held 10 be
the unluciiy number
This has been demonstrated over and
over again; yet the number thirteen still
remains ominouS to thousands Of excel
lent people in & classes of life.
In Paris there are streets in which
twelve bis does duty instead of thirteen.
and the householders who thus ingeni-
ousiy sought to circumvent fate would
not for the world let the proper number
be painted upon their doors.
Some years ago Prince Napoleon tried
to laugh his countrymen out of the su-
perstition, but his efforts did not benefit
his cause, for, with characteristic perver-
sity, he used to invite twelve friends to
carouse with him on Good Friday, where
by he gravely scandalized right-feeling
people, whatever their theological views.
In America similar but less aggressive
attempts have been made to correct
popular error, and numerous thirteen
clubs have been established the members
pledging themselves to dine thirteen at
table on every opportunity.
In France. too. there is thirteen club.
the headquarters of which are at Senlis
and in England there is a little coterie of
thirteen men who dine together monthly
at house numbered thirteen and pay
13s. each for their dinner. and l3d. each
to the walters.
Yet still the superstition Is as lively
rs of yore, all over Europe and America,
and probably it will continue to flourish
and to make people uncomfortable until
the end of time.
