No better illustration of the hold which
superstition still has on many intelligent
people could be desired than is afforded by
recent report of the committee on expert
mental psychology submitted to the Boston
society for physical research. Letters were
addressed by this committee to nearly 500
persons and among the questions asked were
these:
"First--Would you be influenced by any
feeling belief or not is immaterieD in regard
to sitting down thirteen at tablet
"|econd-Or beginning a voyage on Fri
dayl
"Third Or seeing the new moon over your
left shoulderl
"Fourth--Or i'll choosing a house which
was reported to bc hauntedm
Ridiculous as these questions may seem, it
is none the less true that they were answered
by no less than 800 people, and from
these answers it appears that onetenth
of the men and ore fifth of the women were
subject to superstition. That the tendency
should be more prevalent among women
than among men is explained by the fact
that they are naturally of weaker nature and
are, moreover, not brought into that close
contact with the world which, above every
thing else, quickly dispels illusion. 1t GER
tainly must lie allowed that, considering the
practical common sense of the average New
Englander and the skeptical spirit of the
period, the proportion of those who admit
that they arr subj iect to superstition is very
large Without doubt the result Of the Bos
ton society's labors must be a surprise TO
those who have been inclined to believe that
we are every day becoming less credulous.- -

whisky for jail Birds.

ITS noteworthy fact" said well known
criminal lawyer, that almost the first re-
quest n lawyer will receive when he comes
to visit his client in the Jail will be in the
form of n demand for liquor. Crime and
the drinking habit are twin brothers. and it
is, can assure you, "A very rare thing in our
experience to meet Jail bird who is not
| addicted to strong drink. But what are YOU
going to dos Your man Graves for his old
stimulant, begs for it with more earnestneSs
than he does for his freedom. He must have
it, and, as rule, he gets it, too. III tell you
how. When he becomes annoyingly per-
sistent we say to him: Get your liquor, if
you must have it, in the regular way No
lawyer will take it to you That isn't pro-
fessional'
'Then he cries: But what is the regular
wayi 1t is not allowed; how can get itP We
ask him: Haven't you some relative or ac-
quaintance of the other sexi Let her bring it
in. She can carry it easily under a shawl or
cloak, and while standing up close to the
wire talking to you she can smuggle the
stuff in without any trouble Now, to make
myself understood. I'll tell you there is more
than one rubber tube in the jail, carefully
stored away in cells occupied by the expert
enced boarders, and that those tubes are
pretty regularly made to do syphon duty
from one whisky flask to another The
prisoner gets hold of an empty fask-that is
easily done; he is visited by his female
relative, who carries under her shawl flask
full of liquor. The tube is put out through
the wire netting and the other end is inserted
in the bottle. The other end the prisoner
takes in his mouth and proceeds at once to
establish suction on it that causes the
whisky to leave the first bottle and flow
steadily into tho other bottle, which is con-
veniently hid under the fellows coat. Well,
that is one way of getting in contraband
goods Chicago News.

AUTOGRAPHS OF STATESMEN.


A Privilege of the Pages In the Capitol.
Congressmen's signatures.
For years it has becn the privilege of tho
pages in the Capitol to make quite a lot of
pocket money each session in collecting auto
graphs The pages of the senate, for iu-
stance, win collect the signatures of all the
senators in an album, turn the book over to
some youngstcr in the house, who gets tho
cnnCressmcns names, tnen to one of the pages
in the supreme court for the autographs of
the justices, and finally 10 the riding pages of
the senate who are constantly going between
the Capitol, the White House, and the several
departments and bureaus of the government.
The latter get the names of the president, tho
cabinet and other prominent officials For
such collection the boy who starts the book
has received whatever he could out of his
customer, trusting to his own sharpness and
the latter's generosity. When he gets his
mOncy-and $40 is the usual price-he settles
with the other pages who have assisted him,
on such terms as they are willing to make.
The ordinary terms of settlement have been
s. to the contractor, $2 to the house page, 50
to the boy who gets the president and cahi-
net. and 81 to the youth in the supreme court
But the example of the trades unions has
reached the Capitol, and an equal division of
profits is now demanded by the boys | took
an album which had been sent me by friend
in the west to one of the senate pages the
other day, and asked him to get the auto
graphs of the statesmen for me, as he had
done before. l had formerly paid him $40
for such a job, but he informed me that the
boys had organized a union and had advanced
the price to Sl5. He said that the ''kidsn in
the house kicked because the senate boys
were making more money than they, and had
struck; so it became necessary to organize
and have stated card of rates.
Don't you see, he said; people who want
autographs somehow always come to the
senate first. We have got s. for getting the
names of seventy-six senators, and have
given the kids in the house only 81 for get
