A HOOdOO Ring.

Professional singers are. as rule, al
most as superstitious as gamblers, and
gamblers have more hoodoos and mas
cots than the old Grecian sailors had
Among the things VIII ch are generally
accepted among grand opera people as
hoodoos. sure to bring bad luck. is the
snake ring. which few years ago was
worn upon the fingers of so many fash
ionable persons.
One of the attaches of the French
Opera Company, row performing at
the Columbia Theater, though not a
singer himself, partakes of the super
stitions of those with whom he cones
in daily contact. Some years ago. b.
fore he became convinced that snake
ring is hoodoo, he purchased han l.
some one in Paris for $35. That night
his hotel caught fire and he jumped
from third-story window, injuring
himself SO severely that he was conln-
ed to his room for several days.
This pretty nearly convinced him
that the snake ring was an unlucky or
nament-so nearly, in fact that he
ceased to wear it. but carried it as a
pocket piece.
Last Saturday he was walking on
Dearborn street in this city, looking up
at the buildings and musing along with
his hands in his pockets. Without any
thought of what he was doing he ran
his finger through the snake ring in his
pocket, and 10! somebody had left q
pile of coal beside an open coal hole.
Before he knew it. our French friend
stuck his foot into the coal and dived
headlong over the pile down through
the hole into the basement. bruising
and barking himself in a most lament
able way. Of course, when he found
himself falling he threw mp his hands.
and there was the snake ring gleam-
ing and glittering. almost Kissing
and gibbering on his finger.
Frank Perley. the associate manger
of the Columbia who is not yet con-
WINGED of the hoodooing properties of
the ring. is negotiating for the pur-
chase of it. He sa, that the French
man has offered it to him for $40. and
he is sure that by the time some other
accident happens to its owner he will
sell it for so, and then Frank will buy
it-Ch,cago Times.

There are one or two rare and unus-
ual modes by which valvular disease of
the heart may prove suddenly fatal.
One of these is the formation of clot
or concretion from the blood upon one
of the valves; this being washed away
into the circulation, travels along in
the blood-current until it reaches
place too narrow for it to pass. where
it lodges. This plug-called an embo-
lus-shuts off all blood from the parts
beyond, and. if there is no other way
for the circulation to reach that region,
it becomes starved and decomposes-

the common result of embolism of an
artery in the brain; but if it should be

ment of great Importance, death may
result almost instantly. Such cases

The Messenger Escorts.

1--WE have considerable call for bows
to take ladies about" said manager
of one of the largestup-town messenger
offices, "but nothing like enough to
justify US in keeping young men espec-
tally for that Iduty. We always send
the neatest-l ooking boy We have at
hand on such calls, when we know
what is wanted, but that is all the diff
ference we make. Many of such calls
come from ladies from other cities who
are visiting New York and are not
familiar with the shops and places of
amusement They get a messe niger
boy to pilot them about among the
stores and carry their packages during
the day and to escort them to and from
the theater at night City ladies don't
have much use for the boys. You SEQ,
they generally have relative or friend
to 90 with them in the evening. or, il
they havn't they'd as lief be seen 60
ing alone as with messenger boy
trotting by their side. A New York
lady, who may meet some one whom
she knows almost anywhere. doesn' like
to risk being laughed at, and it does
look kind of funny, you know, to see
finely dressed woman going along with
a little shaver in n shabby uniform
hitched to her sideP"
DO the boys like such calls?"
"Well. it depends all on the woman
If she's one that will treat boy we'll,
give him o share of her lunch, and a
smile and an extra quarter for h mself
at the end, the boys like to go with
her. II she is the kind that scolds The
boy all the time, makes him sit in

Lady Dafodil.
Nv dainty Lady Daffodil


Has donned her amber gown,
And on Der fair and sunny head
sparkles her golden crown.
The conscious bluebells softly sway,
And catch the yellow light
And violets, among their leaves,
Breathe low their young delight
The sweet old-fashioned almond flower
Brlghtens its pallid red,
And filings its petals, daintily,
Over the garden bed.
Her tall green leaves, like sentlnels,
Surround my Lady's throne,
And graciously in happy state
She reigns queen alone.
And thus, my Lady Daft odil
In gorgeous, amber gown,
Holdeth her court this sun-warm day
Wearing her golden crown.

SILVER DOLLARS.
Some Valuable Information About

Them.
A correspondent asks us to give in the
Companion the facts relating to the
silver dollar. We comply so far as to
exhibit the history of the coinage, with
out expressing any opinion upon mat
tiers which are the subject of political
controversy.
The silver dollar was made the unit Of
money by the act establishing a mint,
which was passed in 1892. From that
time until 1906 there was coined not
quite $500, 000-an average of little
more than 800, 600 year-after which
no more was coined until 1885.
From 1885 until 1860 the coinage was
So, zoo, 900, the average being about the
same as that 1905. From 1860 to 1878
the coinage was 80, 900, 900, and the
average was about twice that of either
of the former periods mentioned.
The exact number of silver dollars
coined before 1878 was 81, 025, 23S, an
average of $S7, 500 year for eighty one
years. In 1878 the silver dollar was
dropped from the coinage. The value
of the silver it contained was then about
$1.03, and the only money in circulation
was paper.
An agitation soon began for the res
toration of the dollar to the coinage. 1t
was successful in 1878. On February
Is of that year, congress passed over the
veto of President Hayes an act provid
ing that not less than 100000 each
month should be expended in the pur-
chase of silver bullion, and that this
bullion should be coined into dollars of
full legal tender value
This act has now been in force ten
years, and there have been coined in 40
cordance with its provisions very neaxly
800, 100000 silver dollars. The average
has been something more than %, 900, 900
year.
A very large part of these dollars re-
main in the treasury, but are represent
ed by paper certificates" which are in
circulation. 1t will interest some of the
boys who are mechanically inclined
to know that 100000 silver dollars
weigh about SO, 900 pounds avoirdupois,
and the weight of $500, 900, 900 exceeds
$500 tons.-Youth's Companion.

The Conductors Romance


Come out with me moment while
we pass slowly at first and gradually
faster through the street of an old
fashioned town. You will observe thai
the dapper Pullman Car conductor.
with his blue uniform and gilt buttons,
is also on the rear platform.
Very proper, indeed. you say. for the
conscientious conductor to be keeping
a lookout for that second section of our
train.
Well, I didn't insinuate that the con-
ductor was msbchaving himself, but
must disabuse your mind of the con.
ception that he is looking for nothing
more interesting than a locomotive
and train of cars. which the admir-.
able block system of the Pennsylvania
road is certain to keep at safe dis
lance from US. He didn't button up
his coat just now and brush it; he
didn't set his cap knowingly over his
blonde bang. or pull up tag of his
white handkerchief so as 10 set off his
manly chest for the purpose of impress
sing you or me.
Now please keep still and see what
our good looking young guardian in
blue is up to.
He is on the platform with us-that
is, he has one foot on the platform and
one foot on the first step below it.
Now comes the critical moment!
Did you see him lift his cap? More,
did you see that graceful girl leap out
from doorway. shoot a sheaf of ar
rows in second from her eyes, wave
a handkerchief and dart back again
into the old red brick house with its
white portico of wood?

ued, perhaps to the altar, from day to
day. That is all.-Rttsburgh Dispatch.

The Experience OF Mrs. Peters.

Mrs. Peters had ills,
Mrs. Peters had chills,
Mrs. Peters was sure she was going to die;
They dosed her with pills,
With powders and squils,
With remedies wet, and with remedies dry.
Many medicines lured her,
But none Of them cured her,
Their names and their number nobody
could tell;
And she soon might have died,
But some pellets" she tried,
That acted like magic. and then she got
well.
The magic "Pellets" were DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgative Pellets 1.-THE original
