Tie custom OF blessing food, or asking
n blessing upon meals WI eaten, is
dying out. Probably the cause Of this
decadence Of a very charming domestic
custom is due TO a clearer conception Of
relative values in these days. The ques.
ton is forced upon people of religious
sentiment why food is more 10 he con-
siderei blessed than clothes, or books. or
dozen other good things. The result il
that such religious customs fall away al
together. Home life is certainly none
the sweeter. unless some substitute can
be offered. American home life is too

some queer stories Of his experiences In
Ireland before he decided to cmigratc:
''Once I saw banshcc. Il was many
years ago, In Kings county, ireland,
about forty miles from Dublin. During
the summer months there the twilight Is
very long. and late one afternoon. when
the sun had gone down. I happened to
walk over to tho farm Of man named
Michael Burns. Well, as we stoud and
talked. my friend suddenly said: Mike,
do you want to see banshcc? or course

pointed, sure enough, there in the lane,
creeping along near the hedge, was q wee
bit Of thing not more than threc feet
high. It looked like little girl. only its
hair. which was long and yellow, fell
down its hack clear TO the ground, and as
Il crept along it whimpered and moaned
just like n child in pain. MY friend
looked very grave. saying: That's

next day learned that the poor woman
had died before her son reached her.
Oh, the banshees arc queer things. and
they never let any one come near them.
Another man I knew came across one
sitting in corn field, near the fence.
When lie suddenly appeared it ran out Of
sight among the corn, but 1t dropped it,
comb from its yellow hair. and the man
picked It up and put it in his pocket.
That night the banshec came near the
house and whined so piteously that tho
man dropped the comb out Of tho VIM
dow. The banshec then left. and when
q search was mace next morning it was
found that the comb had disappeared,

A story which seems to be well vouched
for comes from Youngstown, Ohio, where
a loan exhibition closed last week
Among the attractions was figure, pur
porting to be wax, of Queen Marguerite
of Italy. Much difference OF opinion
prevailed as to whether the figure was of
wax or flesh and blood, and bets aggre.
eating S., 900 were made on the issue.
At the end of the exhibition an explain
alton was made, and the figure was found
to be living woman. She is native OF
Louisville, n.y., and has been engaged in
the business of posing as wax hgnre
for many years, having appeared IN
different characters IN nearly all the
principal cities. Her name is Augusta
Benedict. She belongs to prominent
Kentucky family. And she has appar-
emily proved that there is at least one
woman in the world who can refrain
from talking, and also keep seeret.
