Medical Supersutions.

There is a popular supposition Of
vide range, based upon ] know not
what, that it is very healthful for chill
dren to play with dogs. A weak child,
it is thought, may gain strength by
being with a dog, or if diseased the
child may be cured by having the ami
NAL take the disease'-for example,
infiamed eyes or any disorder of the
skin. Within a year a college gradu-
ate told M, in perfect good faith, Of
Acquaintance a Boston doctor and his
wite, whore little girl had been greatly
afflicted with some form of eczema
which they all hoped would disappear,
a the parents had purchased a fine dog
to play with the child.
When a dog is teething the upper
incisors, according to a New England
superstition, must be removed as soon
o. they become loose, or he may ''swal-
low them and have fits" Perhaps even
more generally received is the fancied
danger of allowing a child's milk tooth
after extraction to fall into the posses
sion of a dog or cat, lest the animal
swallow it, and the child have a dogs
or cats tooth grow in place of the lost
one. The Mexicans and Indians In
Texas say that every animal has brains
enough to tan its own skin; and so the
latter, in the case Of the vol, panther,
wild cat and some other animals, IL
mainly prepared by rubbing into the
aesh side of 1t the brains of its former
Wearer.
A somewhat common fancy among
children, perhaps, too, among adults as
well, Is that every part strengthens a
part"-that Is, that the liver, heart,
brains and so on Of animals when eat
en- 60 directly toward nourishing the
corresponding organs In the eater. A
similar doctrine was worked out in great
detail by the American Indians, and is,
! believe, held by many other savage
tribes. 1t seems altogether probable
that such beliefs. wherever found
among civilized people, old or young,
are survivals from remote antiquity,
and that they are closely akin in their
nature and origin to the well known
doctrine of signatures which has played
30 great a part in the systems of medi-
cine of primitive peoples. Mrs. Fanny

John Arbuthnot, the son Of a Scotch
clergyman, was born near M~ontrose in
1867. He was educated at Aberdeen,
where he took his doctors degree. Going
to London to push his fortune, he soon
established a reputation as a man of
science, and before he was 80 happy &C
cident led to his fortune. Prince George
of Denmark, the consort of Queen Anne,
was taken suddenly ill at Epson, and
Arbuthnot, who CHANGED to be there, was
summoned to attend him. The prince
was cured, and the doctor was appointed
one of the court physicians. Swift says
that he was the queens favorite ply
stefan, and apartments were given him
in st. James palace. Thus distinguished
by the marks of royal favor, Arbuthnot
acquired the friendship, not only of the
leading men of his party, as Harley and
Bolingbroke, but that of all the wits and
scholars of the time. He was their
trusted friend and adviser. He attended
Queen Anne in her last illness, and al
though he did not continue to hold his
official position in the court of George l
he and his friend were Tories-he
maintained a great practice among the
nobility. He attended Gay and Con-
greve and Pope and Swift, and in the
verses addressed by Gay to Pope Arbuth-
not's company is said to drive sorrow
from the heart, Gas all disease his medi-
cines dissipate." Pope constantly ex-
pressed his gratitude to him, and paid
him some of his finest poetical compli-
ments. The prologue to 1.-The Satires,"
Popc's most perfect piece, is addressed
to Arbuthnot. Chicago Herald.

His First Letter.

n writer in The Christian Union gives
an amusing account of the first letter
ever written to his wife by q certain old
gentleman. The couple had never beer
separated i'll all the years of their life
until "Pa," at the age of 70, concluded
to visit some relatives in Boston.
When he was preparing to start on his
memorable trip his wife, who was to re-
main at home, said:
"Pa, you lev writ me a letter in
your life, an 1 do hope when you git
safely there you'll write me a line and
let me know how you bore the journey.
I'll buy a sheet of paper and put in a
wafer, SO you won't have no trouble
about that"
Pa was absent a week, and, faithful to
his promise, he sent a letter. 1t read
thus:
"REsPEcTED LADY: l got here safe,
andI am very we'll, and I hope you are
the same. I shall be glad to git home,
for the pride of the airth that 1 see here
is enough to ruin the nation. Cad! the
women folks are too lazy to set up in
their carriages. They loll back and look
as if they was goin' to sleep, and I don't

Un,ucky Thirteen.

From the fact of Christ's betrayal by
Judas the latter is supposed to have been
the original of the unlucky thirteenth
who brings disaster upon a feast. This
superstition is very general, and so strong
has it been in France ii particular that in
Paris there existed years ago, and may
very possibly now, a class of professional
diners out called Quatorziemes, whose
business it was to be always prepared
with a dress suit handy for to
take the place of some recreant guests,
and thus prevent an assemblage of the
unlucky thirteen. In regard to the Or
ganization of s'Thirteen Clubs it NAV be
observed that this superstition has never
been considered to hold good where
the number thirteen has occurred acct
dentally. The absurdity, therefore, of
the formation of special clubs to meet on
the 18th, to dine at 13 tables or to do any
thing else with 10 in it, becomes at once
obvious. Such institutions do not fill the
bill.-New York Herald.

Authors and Poor Writing.

l wonder if authors have n idea of
the decided advantage it is to IL manu-
script to have it clearly written or by the
typewriter? Again and again have l had
a manuscript lying on my table for u
month or two, putting off it's reading
from day to day because of the poor
writing. If authors had any conception
of the value of clean manuscript to cdi-
tors, they would be far more careful how
they send their wares to the editorial
office than they are.
Take this manuscript, forcxample; the
authors name is a guarantee that there is
something good in it. Yet, look at that
c~hirography. l dread taking it up. 1t is
positive torture. am patient with her,
because I feel a personal interest in her
literary welfare. Yet l know of two posi-
tive instances where her manuscripts
have been returned by editors who ac-
knowledged to me afterward that they
had not read them. Now, that woman
is inflicting injury upon herself. 1 tell
you, there is nothing which makes me
more prejudiced against a manuscript
than illegible writing.-Intcrviewin New
York Commercial Advertiser.

Quick Witted Birds.

Some birds are gifted with a sense of
observation approaching to something
very like reasoning faculties, as the fol-
lowing anecdote proves: At a gentle
mans house in Staffordshire the pheas-
ants are fed out of one of those boxes
the lid Of which rises with the pressure
of the pheasant standing on the rail in
front of the box. A water hen, obsery-
ing this, went and stood upon the rail as
soon as the pheasant had quilted it; but
the weight of the bird being insufficient
to raise the lid of the box, SO as to enable
it to get at the corn, the water hen kept
jumping on the rail to give additional
impetus to its weight. This partially
succeeded, but not to the satisfaction Of
the %sagacious bird, which, therefore,
went off; and, soon returning with a
bird of its own species, the united weight
of the two had the desired effect, and
the successful pair enjoyed the benefit of
their ingenuity.-Month.

Flowers in Cairo.

The famous bouquetieres (women bou-
quet makers) of Paris begin their train
ing in the florists shops by the arrange
ment of bridal bouquets, and after that
they learn the mingling of colors. Paris
claims to be the home of flowers. They
grow in the gardens of it's surrounding
countryside-the orchids at Chatillon,
the roses at Montrouge or F%ontenay, hy-
acinths at Boulogne and lilacs at Neuilly.
The mimosa, the tea rose and some of
the commoner flowers come from tho
south in quantities. The costlier flow
ers are reared in Paris and its environs,
and as a rule, are bought and worn there.
The Parisienne must have flowers in her
box at the theatre, in her drawing room,
on the muf, in her hair, in the bodice of
her dress and in her attic window

A Remedy for Burns.

The celebrated German remedy for
burns consists of Is ounces of the best
white glue broken into small pieces in
2 pints of water and allowed to become
soft. Then dissolve it by means of a
water bath and add Q ounces of glycerine
and 8 drachms of carbolic acid; continue
the heat until thorously dissolved. On
cooling this hardens to ar elastic mass
covered with a shining, parchment like
skin, and may be kept for any length of
time. When required for use it is placed
for a few minutes in a water bath until
sufficiently liquid and applied by means
of q broad brush. 1t forms in about two
minutes a shining, smooth. flexible and
nearly transparent skin.-New Orleans

Delicacy Of Pianos.

Now it is just this kind of Il trivial

place in Baltimore an upright piano had

An Indian Fights witt, IA bon.

One day an Indian made an excursion
to a mountain near Chevantzieurm, state
of M%ichoacan, in Mexico, to look after
some fuel for his hut. While cutting up
a dry oak lie suddenly felt q bite on the
calf of his leg, given in the fraction of a

around his body the terrible fold of a boa

his head over toward the wounded leg
and was almost fascinated by the glare
of two bright basilisk eyes, that cleaned
like fiery Goals in the head of the serpent.
Quicker than a flash the Indian ducked
his head and caught the neck of the rep.
tile between his jaws, sinking his teeth
in the quivering flesh and clinging to it
with the desperation of the dying. The
huge serpent dashed his tail and tried to
twist its head in order to bury it's fangs
in the Indian, but the latter chung on
