While it is generally conceded
that posts set in the ground upside
down will last much longer than in
the reverse position, the why and
wherefore of it has been a mystery
with the public. The reason is this
The pores of the wood are so con-
structed as to draw and push the moist,
are upward from the roots to the leaves
and branches of the tree, and this same
principle of action causes the constant
drying out of post set reversely to 1T
natural growth. while If set down the
pores will constantly draw the moist
ure upward, thus causing it's premature
decay.

Leopold, king of the Belgians, is a

Ills wide sympathies embrace vegetari-

without "a hat.
Whenever the weather is suitable,
King Leopold goes abroad in his garden
as hatless as Adam, exulting in his free
dom from the conventiona,ity of head

the winds action on the brain, and ne
puts his craze in practice whenever pos

Strange Fancies Increasing Among the
Negroes of Tennessee.

Mary Harper, a CHATTANOOGA negro
woman, died recently of fright caused by
witchcraft, although the physicians GER
tiflcate states that she died of nervous
exhaustion. The facts as related by one
of her neighbors, with whom she was very
intimate, are told as follows in the st.
Louis "Globe Democrat"
The deceased and woman named
Watson were rivals for the hand of a
negro man named Thompson, who
seemed first TO prefer one and then the
other. being exceedingly variable in his
moods. Several quarrels took place be-
tween the women; none, however,
with serious consequences. Some few
weeks ago the Watson woman told the
Harper woman that If she did not leave
Thompson alone she would six" her, by
which it was meant that she was going
to resort to witcheraft. This weighed
heavily on the woman's mind, and within
two or three days she became too weak
to work, and was confined to her bed.
The sheets were found to be pinned to-
gether with a rusty needle, and after this
discovery the woman grew more feeble
every day and died as stated The ply
sician was unable to find any disease, and
the presumption is therefore irresistible
that she died from the effects of sheer
fright.
Witchcraft among the negroes is on
che increase in Tennessee, and number
OF notable instances have occurred
within the past few months. The case
OF Claib Franklin has become q noted
one. Afflicted with heartburn, stomach
troubles, with icy feeling in the back, he
sought relief from regular witch doc
tor, going about the streets with a small
crooked stick, with which it is supposed
she controls the elements. She cupped
the man with a horn, then emptied the
horn, which contained live frogs and
bugs which she said came from the
mans side. He then became better and
the operation has been repeated several
times until now he is in q dangerous con-
dition from exhaustion and loss of
blood.
short time ago Mary Christian was
"conjured" by rival, who placed ball
of red flannel and sticks tied with
white string, to the other end of which
was toad, under the womans doorstep.
This so worked upon her mind that she
at once began barking like dog and it
was not expected that she would live.
She has now recovered physically, but is

THE FANCIES OF FASHION.
SUMMER RESORT TEMPLES TO THE
CAPRICIOUS GODDESS.

A Complete Revolution i'm Taste With
Regard TO the Bathing suit-To Start
With it is Seldom Used for Bathing.
How They Manage it ut Foreign
Bathing Resorts.
The steadily capricious goddess de-
serts the cities for the present. Who
ever wishes to study the styles of the
summer must HE away to the seashore
or the mountains, the summer resorts,
or across the water to Europe. The
seaside resorts attract the largest num-
Der this month. In August all who can
will be in the mountains, at Saratoga,
in the Adirondacks, the White Noun
tains, among the lakes, or in the land of
the sky, for there is fashion of where
to go for each month in the year.
A complete revolution in taste with
regard to the bathing suit is observed
on all the fashionable beaches this sum-
mer. In the first place, beauty does not
frequently bathe, but for all that she
wears at certain hours of the day a
bathing suit. This suit is made as neat
and natty as tailor gown. 1t is not
usually trimmed, but finished in tailor
style like riding habit That is to say
it is stitched and pressed, and has welted
seams and fits more or less closely to the

Dark blue or dark greenish-bue flannel
go is the preferred material for such
suHs; but gray, brown, red and other
colors are occasionally seen on the
beach. The stockings are of heavy rib
Knitted wool, to match the blue, green
or gray of the suit, or they are black.
Iue bathing shoes are sandals of straw,
or canvas slippers with perforated metal
or plated straw soles. The wearers OF

Guilds In SerVin.

A curious survival of the middle ages
in Servia Is the institution of "Esnafs," +"
or guilds. According to the latest Brit
ish consular report from that country,
these E-nals are guilds of the various
trades which regulate the condition Of
apprentices and the privileges of master
workmen. They are independent of
state support, and are maintained by EN-
ployes and workmen OF In" different
trades for the purpose of mutual support
in labor and sickness. Monthly contri-
buttons are paid o the guild by the mem
bers, and the funds collected are managed
by an unpaid committees elected at a
general meeting.
Foreigners are allowed to Join these
guilds. and the law enables them to pre-
vent workmen who have not been en-
rolled from exercising their calling.
