suporstltlous Business Men.
New York Times: An" observing
Broadway street.car conductor tells of
the odd way in which one passenger
q businessman whom he brings down.
town every morning, ~deports himself.
As soon as he gets his seat he grabs
two pins from his coat lapel and sticks
one into the cushion on both sides of
him. He goes through the same pro-
gram every morning. If he gets into
a car and has to stand he holds pin
in each hand. He does it for luck, so
he himself explained to the conductor.
This man is an influential officer in one
of the biggest corporations in New
York. and everywhere he is regarded
as a conservative, intelligent man.
II have tried to break myself of this
superstition for years." he said to the
conductor one day when he seemed to
be in the mood for conversation and he
and the conductor had the car to
themselves for long distance. 1T is
silly PRACTICES of course. realize
that; yet somehow if l ever fail to have
my two pins with me and don't come
downtown hedged in on each side,
everything goes wrong. | keep it up
because I'm nervous If I DON'T"
There are many men who will not
ride up or down town except with the
same conductor daily. Not that they
love any special conductor particularly
but for the blind reason they believe
luck attaches to regularity. :
One Broadway dry-goods merchant
always leaves street-car in which by
any chance he may find red-haired
woman or child. and he uniformly
looks sharply for this sort of q hoodoo
before he takes q seat. 49,

Baltimore American: For forty
years the Rev. DR.. B. has been the REQ.

recorded below happened twenty-five.
years ago. mission charge sixteen
miles distant from the town IN which
he resided, and he was therefore con-
.stantly travelling between these two
places. About six miles distant was
the country residence Of Judge s., "a.
well-known and prominent parishioner
Of the worthy doctor. The sod had
been turned above this gentleman's
grave only about six weeks, when DR..
B. Glanced to be returning from his
mission charge, in company with q
friend. It was broad daylight, just
about sunset. and not far from Judge
SIS gate, when a carriage, drawn by
. white horse, passed them rapidly
from behind, and was soon out Of
sight. ~ !:
s'That fellow must be in hurry to

Only that it moves very quickly.

& The matter. however was soon for
gotten in other conversation, and they
had travelled perhaps mile. when,
suddenly, the same horse and carriage
passed them as before. Nothing was
discernible of the driver except his
feet, the carriage cushion hiding his
body. There was no cross-road by
which a vehicle in front could possibly
have got behind without making
circuit of many miles and consuming
several hours.
Yet there was not the shadow of q
doubt IS to the identity of the vehicle,
and the two gentlemen gazed at each
other in blank amazement, and with a
certain defined sense of awe which
precluded any discussion of the matter,
particularly as the horse was to all
appearances the well-known white
habitually driven by the deceased
Judge. A half-mile brought them in
sight of Judge SIS gate, when, for the
third time. the ghostly team dashed
by in the same dreadful, mysterious
silence. This time it turned in full
view into the gate. Without word
of comment the doctor quickened his
horses speed, and reached the gate
only a few yards behind the silent
driver.
Both gentlemen peered eagerly up,
the long, open lane leading to the
house; but neither carriage nor wheel.
track was visible, though it was still
clear daylight, and there was no outlet
from the lane, nor could any vehicle
in the time occupied accomplish half
the distance. The peculiar features of
this strange incident are that it was
equally and simultaneously evident to
two witnesses, both entirely unpre-
pared for any such manifestation, and
differing widely in temperament. habits
of life, mental capacity, and educa-
tional attachments. and by mere &C.

The cleaning, or grooming, consists first in
currYing the horse with the currycomb to free
him of the dirt adhering to the hair, and which,
being now dry, sly removed. A wisping
of straw removes the roughest Of the dirt loosen
ed by the currycomb. the legs ought to be
thoroughly wisped not only to make them
clean, but to dry up the moisture that may have
beenleft in the evening and at this time the
feet should be picked clean by the footpicker-
!. e, IAN iron instrument made for the purpose
of any dirt adhering between the shse and the
foot. The brush is then to be used to remove
the remaining and finer portions Of dust from
the hair, which is cleared from the brush by q
few rasps along the currycomb. This wisping
and brushing, II done with some force and dex-
terity, with . combing of the tail and name,
should render the horse pretty clean, but there
are more ways of grooming horse than one az
may be Witnessed by the careless and ekimming
way In which many hired hands do it. The
skin of the farm horse should at all times be
clean ii not sleek, and . slap of the hand upon
the horse will soon show II there il loose dust
in the ha:r. The currycomb should not be used
below the knees a. II is apt to cause injury.
For clean legs and feet nothing IL better thau
the water brush, and when fitting horse for
the show-yard it may also be used on the body
with water or even . little kerosine, but the
latter Is not required for common Cleanliness
but merely to impsrt temporary gloss.

such was the intention of the fire hugs, the
drawback being that the fire was dlscov-
cred before it had gained uncomfortable
Roadway. Mr.. JOhnson's hired boy, who
sleeps in the east end OF the burned build
ing, was awakened by the smoke, and ran
down in time to see through the window,
in the light of the flames, two men dodg
ing among the lumber, and trying to es-
cape through the west door. a neighbOr
also saw man standing in the rear of the
house opposite, about ll3O, and it is prob
able that he was there watching the issue
of the first fire that was started. The en-
tire loss of Mr.. johnson, including tools,
lumber and work ready for delivery will
reach 500, on which he has 300 insurance
in I. :. Peck S agency, which amount will
be promptly paid over. If we are to have
an epidemic of incendiarsm 1t will he
