Concerning Charms and Amu1ets.

A recent writer in an English magazine
tells of the superstitions among the
gypsies and other half civilized races con-
corning charms or amulets. "a coin or
a pebble carried long in the pocket, or
around the neck, is supposed to become
imbued with the personality of the
wearer." These amulets are believed to
have a will of their own, to feel affection
for their owner, and to cherish a hatred
toward his enemies. Not only the
gypsies but Indian, Asiatic and African
tribes wear little tokens '"for luck" be-
lieving in their possession of a dumb, half
conscious intellect. In some savage tribes
a man is known by his ''charm," or
fetch.
Our ancestors were not altogether free
from this superstition. The pouncets
carried in gold and silver boxes in the
pockets of fine ladies were withered ap-
pies stuck full of spices, which, after long
use, were supposed to become imbued
with the vitality or animal strength of the
wearer, and to ward off disease from her.

Animals That Are Disappearing.

The establishment and maintenance of
a geological garden is as much a part Of
the proper work Of government as build
ing schools OF sending out scientific sur
veys. 1t is a source of instruction to the
people and an aid to the development Of
science, especially in this country, by
preserving many species of wild animals
from extinction. The buffalo is already
regarded as an extinct animal. Not one,
1t is said by competent authority, remains
in the British possessions on this cont.
nent; and in this country there are two
small herds, N in Texas and the other
in the Yellowstone park, numbering to-
gether not more than 1876. The leading
scientists, not only of America, but of
Europe, have been calling upon our gov
ernment for years to preserve the bison
from extinction, as the Russian govern
ment has done with the European bison
or aurochs.
1t is said that, at the present rate of
progress, the remarkable Rocky noun
tain goat will be extinct within five
years. Among the quadrupeds that are
fast dying off are the elk, moose, ante
lope, caribou, black tailed deer, grizzly
bear, wolf, beaver, otter and wolverine.
The delay of a few years may mean the
complete disappearance of some or most
of these, and a gap in the history of the
animal life of this continent that can
never be fled.-New Orleans Picayune.

There is an attractive attractiveness
about the attractions of a Catholic fair
which attracts the attractive and unat.

The foregoing may not be a very at

One would become weary of an ordina-
ry festival or entertainment after visiting
it six times, but many of the satisfied and
light hearted throng which left Library
hall at II O'Clock last night, were rather
aggrieyed over the quite natural fact that
Sunday interviewed between the next
session of the fair. But then honestly.
who could become weary of a Catholic
fair? Primarily, the cause could be no
better. Then they are excellently man
