Queer Stories. Strange Saws and Proverbs
That Fill the Segr.sa Mind.
The island negro is full of legends, stories
and quaint proverbs. 1t is pity that they
should never have been regularly collected
and recorded, for the race of the old timo
house slave woman, who held her audience
breathless with the wonderful doings of
"Anancyn and his wife, "Crooky," and
son, ''Tacooma," is now almost passed away.
All of the strange out-of-the-way phenomena
Of tropical nature are alive with suggestions
of the supernatural and the mysterious to the
negro mind.
At various parts Of the island are su bter-
ranean rivers that here and there make a
sudden appearance, to run swiftly for few
miles, and then to disappear again in the
bowels of the earth. In places the water ap-
pears only in circular sink holes, always
brimming but never overflowing, even in the
wet season, or never diminishing, even In the
dry. In one of the mountain Businesses a
negro pointed out to me such gloomy pool,
with neither inlet nor outlet. To him it was
the habitation of some monstrous subaqueous
creature named Croomie. He told mo that
nobody dared even go near the margin, fcr
Croomie would catch him and pull him ull-
der. could gather nothing from hih, but
the bare facts for when pressed him for
further details concerning Croomies charac-
ter and habits, he evidently took my qucs-
tions for covert ridicule, and withdrew him
self into the shell of non-comprehension.
In their peculiar dialect the negroes possess
u fund of quaint saws and proverbs. "Alli-
gator lay eggs, but him no fowl" says one.
FISHERMEN never say him fish tink,n says
another. Referring to tho land crab: "Lit-
tie crab hole spoil big race Lorsen Some of
these quaint sayings show not only the keen
insight Of the seni-savngc into the character
istcs of the roceless creation, but also
wonderfully sly and cunning knowledge of
the weakness Of poor human nature. ".
Duck and fowl feed tosedder, but no roost
togetlder.n "When man dead grass grow Mt
him door" ''Dog run for him character,
pig run for him life" Hungry dog eat
cockronch" MAN bit by snake, Kim run
away from izard.'' Such are few Of the

"a memory ring is merely u silver ten cent
piece trimmed out, with the milled edges left
untouched. Usually the ring has a bangle
attached, made of the inner part of the dime
and bearing the monogram of tho youth who
has been invesled into giving the girl the

'Another novelty is the friendship ring. a

1t is tho tendency in this day and age to
slight things, and it is this tendency which
hurts American mechanism abroad. A man
just returned from South America told me
that no American machinery could be sold
there in competition with English. While our
steam engines, for instance, were better fin
ished and more adapted to the work demands
cd, something was always getting out of or.

life as well as in the universe which
surrounds and sustains it an order
which comprehends all needs, co.ordi-
mates all action, and provides for all
growth. The chemical relation of
matter are but imperfect types of the
deicacy, the multiplicity, and the in
clusiyeness of moral relations. All
things which men touch through any
sense, by any thought, in any act, dis
till some moral quality, and react
either for good or i'll. We are played
upon by influences too many for cur
comprehension, too delicate for our OBJ
servation, too far-reaching for our fore
lsight. When we seem to be sacrific-
ing things most precious to us we are
often receiving them back in some
finer and imperishable form when we
seem to be working solely for others
we are often serving ourselves in the
highest and noblest way.
Doing for others, bearing the bur-
dens Of others, identifying ourselves
with the struggles and labors of 9th
ers, help nightly in the working out
of our own lives. 1t is wise to drop
resolutely our difficulties which we are
trying to answer it re-iDvigorates the
soul and gives the mind a new grip on
the perplexing problems. Mathemati-
clans carrying OH extended calculations
sometimes finds themselves forced to
clear their minds Of figures and betake
themselves to some other occupation or
amusement when the mind has re-
covered lis tone the tangles of the
problem are swiftly Strengthened out.
Every life needs large and noble dl-
version from it's perpleXities and cares
needs catholic sympathy with Others
to preserve it from selfishnesS a
steady and hearty cooperation with
others to give it's own work breadth
and solidity. No sane man lives for
himself; sooner or later q life wholly
self-centered loses its soundness and be-
comes distorted and diseased. The
two elements of selt-derelopment and
care for the interests Of others must be
kept in equipose if harmony, symme
try, and largeness Of character are tc

The true remedy for morbid self. CON
sciousness, the real refuge from person
al grief and loss, are to be found, Dot
in the monastery, as the old ascetics
thought, but in closer contact with the
suffering world, in more devoted con
secration to the welfare of those about
us. There is no such efficient help fol
ourselves as lending hand to aid oul
fellows. When Faust had come to the
end Of his long seeking, he found the
happiness which had always eludeC
him in the giving of himself to the ser
vice of men. 1t was not in self-grali
tication that the tragic problem of his
life worked itself out, but by large
works for the public welfare. Knowl
edge, power, and passion failed to sat

purpose triumphed over all lower am
bitions that peace and victory come
Not to be ministered unto, but to min
