Knick-knacks for Christmas.


Those wise virgins who keep their lamps
trimmed against the important day are already
busy with their fancy work for Christmas, and
their latest material is art cord or COUGHING
silk, as some call it. This is an unusually heavy
cord that is used on everything-tidies for chair
and sofa, squares for the tops of tables, large
and small, coverings for cushions everywhere.
1t has the twofold advantage OF being showily
effective and filling up fast. One of the novel
ties Of the season on which this art cord is used
is round cushion. The cushion is filed with
the best eider-down and covered with I'M
bleached or yellow linen, stamped with a de-
sign for Roman embroidery. The edges are
joined by full putting of China silk Of some
bright color. Around the edges of the cushion
are sewn, at intervals, small brass rings, over
which is crocheted wash twist. Through these
rings Is drawn the art cord, Of a bright gold
color, after the manner of LAGER, backward
and forward, and is then tied in a little bow
with tasselled ends. The idea is new and will
doubtless take for that very reason
Another pretty knick-knack for the writing
table of lady or gentleman is the periodical
cover. For this are necessary some cardboard,
plush and embroidery silks. handsome one
lying on the table of Philadelphia belle was
composed Of a rich brown silk plush; from one
corner came spray of rich yellow golden rod
while diagonally across the opposite corner was
embroidered, in harmOnizing tints, "The Gen.
tury." These are arranged SO that the backs of
the books will slip into an edge that holds
them firmly, while bright ribbons tie them
securely

POPULAR SUPERSTITIONS.
Some Queer Notions About the Sun, the
Moon, and the Stars.

From the Philadelphia Times
Faith in the power of the sun, moon, and
stars to act on the health has, of course, been
held for centuries. That great parsonage OF
olden time. the astrologer, would not fail to
impress upon people this idea of the influence
which the heavenly bodies possess over health
and disease. Very few OF these have survived
up to the present time.
1t is natural that the sun should be consid-
cred the great restorer and lfe-giver. There
Is an old Jewish proverb to the effect that
when the sun rises the disease will abate This
was founded on a tradition that a precious
stone was hung on the neck of Abraham and
that to look upon it was to be healed. When
Abraham died God placed the stone in the sum-
The remnant of this superstition is found today
In the saying that if an invalid goes out for the
first time and makes circuit this circuit must
be with the sun; il against the sun there will be
a relapse.
The universal belief that the moon has power
to make person crazy has given us the word
lunatic. That the soul which has till then how
cred between life and death finds its release as
the tide goes out is generally accepted by
many.
great prejudice exists against the night air
especially in ventilating sleeping rooms; the
night air Is by no means SO unhealthy as many
people suppose. In those places where the soil
Is impure, or near waters that are stagnant, the
change occasioned by the withdrawal Of the suns
heat gives rise to exhalations that are IN
healthy, but in the majority of instances the
prejudices that exist against night air amount
to superstitious dread.
When an idea crystalizes into a proverb it
carries an automatic weight with 1t and no one
for moment stops to question its truth. One
may rebel against it, but in doing so there is
always a feeling of having taken the law into
ones own hands and if evil is escaped it is
miraculous.
As rule the popular superstitions inflict
state OF apprehensive dread and discomfort
which they sometimes entail, both upon the
believer and upon his friends, makes it essential
to refrain from their indulgence, and especially
from teaching them to children, upon whom
they make a lifelong impression

SuperstitiOns.


Some people are too superstitious for any.
thing. Tn ere are men right here in THE STAB
Office who consider it the worst kind of hoo
doc to have heavy ladder fall on them ON q
Tuesday. There is another man who inva-
riably turns around three times and gees
around the corner if he sees an old friend ap-
preaching. He owes him cas- and it is one Of
his pet superstitions that il would kill his luck
forever to meet him ON this earth. And
there's b Smith, he never lends an UNI brella
on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday, Saturday or Sunday. This superstition
has taken entire possession Of him.
Professional.
No lawyer worth his salt ever takes the will

s ae WI was tired enough Of the old home nest.
Poor Bill Bowser,

On his brother cowboys with JOY he did stamp.

Sun " orship.
Worship OF the sun was first practiced by
the extreme ancients. 1t is still carried on
by young mothers with their first-born.
Military Titles.
These military distinctions are above the
common mortal. We hear of a general of d.
vision, is there also major of multiplication
or a captain of subtraction? Then again, is a
generalissimo equal to twenty generals? We
pause for an answer.
Secrecy.
Few people can keep a secret after they be-
come thoroughly familiar with it, and yet there
are very few tongues ever gave it away when
their near neighbors happened to be false
teeth.
They Worked Hard.
Mr.. Bison had an earache, and he didn't
take it kindly when Mrs. Bison said it was no
wonder he was sick, sitting around all day and
never doing stroke of work. MRS. Bilson,"
he remarked, work has nothing to do with it.
You will please bear in mind that have an
earache and that ever since our marriage my
ears have been the hardest worked portion Of
this household"
Ear Piercing.
81 would just love to wear earrings" said
Mrs. Eureka, "but am so afraid of having my
ears pierced"
'Want your ears pierced, do you?" groaned
Mr.; Eureka. well, just pinch that baby once,
and you'll get it cheap"
