CHINESE sUPERsTITIoNs.
Why the Monaghan Persists in

Sleeping With His Head to the
East.
Ladies' Home Journal.
It has often been a matter of conject-
ure why Chinaman should be so par
ticular in sleeping with his head
toward the east. When at home, or
travelling, or visiting, the Celestial, if
among strangers, exercises no little
care to avoid sleeping in any other posi-
ton than the one which he had been
brought up TO look upon as the most
correct and healthful to his MUD.
According to the Chinese superstition
it is exceedingly dangerous to sleep
with the head toward the setting sun.
The sleeper might justly fear darkness.
unhappineSS and death; that is, of
course. if he is a believer. From the
north comes GOODNESS, loneliness and
barrenneSs, and to sleep with his head
III that direction would be to bring
down upon himself and family these
products Of the pole.
The south signifies passing glory: a
limitation of wealth. health and happi-
ness. Therefore, that is extremely I'M
desirable. But to the east-the source
of the rising sun in all its spIendor-is
where the Celestial looks for his good
gifts. From it come $50 he beiieves)
light. life, wealth and happiness. No
misery or wretchednesS. or want can
come from the glorious east. SO he must
sleep with his head in that direction in
order to get the full benefit of the good
gifts which will come to him.
Often, III travelling, Cinnamon carry
mariners pocket compass, in order
that, when the time comes to retire,
they may discover which way to point
their heads. If they make a mistake
and sleep the wrong way they are likely
to lose just so much health and happi-
ness. With a dead Cinnamon this is
reversed for he believes after death the
body has nothing to lose, and the head.
therefore, is placed before the west.

finement and a straight-jacket for my
future life. Miss CULPEPPER.

Certain giddy women, most of whom
are old enough to know better, are writ
ing to the newspapers over the country
and telling what they would do if they
were men; and grand army of men
has arisen and they are rushing into
print TO tell an anxious world what they
would do If they were women. and as it
is the fashion, L suppose | might as we'll
walk up the trough and own up to what
would do if Dame Nature had deprived
me of the big feet and tough luck that
is the portion of maseHIinity.
If l were woman | would have q
royal old picnic from rosy morn till
dewy eve, aud far into the silent hours
of the dark and Silly night. If / were
a young woman (as | no doubt would be
in the START. / would array me in fine
linen and go out and make mash on
rich but susceptible dude, and tell
him he is smarter than all the wise men
of ancient Greece. and prettier than a
June rose, and that would tickle him so
much that it would be an easy matter
for me to work him for opera tickets and
champagne supper. l would allow
all the men that wanted to hug
me, and | would hug all the men who
were too bashful to begin. Hugging
don't cost anything, and it has done
more to make.the world happy than all
the songs since Sappho or all the philOs-
0phy since Socrates.
When young man came to see me in
the evening [ would fire all the children
out OF the parlor, send my mother off to
bed, tell the young man it would tickle
my father half to death if l stayed up
all night, turn the light low ana look
soulful, ana then if the young man
could not find pleasant occupation for
his time and his arms [ would perform
a hypnotic operation on him that is
yulgarly known as giving the Q. b.
l would VOW eternal fidelity to all the
young men who ever CHANGED to fall in
love with me, and l would get as many
OF them in love with me as l could, but
when my time came to get married 1
would come out strong on my early
training, and would sOlemnly declare
that deareSt'S own was the only mus
tache that had ever rubbed the rough
from my ripe, ruby lips.
If were woman [ would not write
tOrrid poetry about the mad, hot breath
of love; l would not send contributions
to the household department of a fam
lily paper; and if my name was ever at
the butt end of dialect story it would
be placed there by one of my enemies

FUGITIVE.

Give me loves arm TO rest me in,
No other gain II strive to win;
ALI else is water in sieve,
For all but love is fugitive.
Give me loves head upon nv breast,
And others may have all the rest
OF happiness the world can give,
For all but love is fugitive.
Give me loves lips my own to meet,
And will crave no other sweet,
No other blessing while live,
For all but love is fugitive.

ACCUMULATING FAT.
Men OF Active Habits as Likely t

Men OF Active Habits as Likely to
Suffer as INDECENT Ones.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Fat seems to be accepted nowadays az
an indication of self-indulgence and in
dolenee, but little observation over
throws the belief. The famous Daniel
Lambert weighed more than 700 pounds
and was not quite six feet tall, his vast
bulk never seeming to incommode him.
When he weighed over 400 he walked
long distances with less fatigue than
was endured by his companions, who
weighed comparatively nothing, and un-
til shortly before his death he was act
i've in field exercise. He never spent
much time in bed, sleeping less than
eight hours in the twenty four, was a
moderate eater, and drank only water.

TOURISTS ROBBED.
Systematic Work Of a Gang of hievcs
In Europe,

The rumored robbery of Cornelius Wander
bllt and DR.. Seward Webb has stirred up the
entire French police aud detective forces.
The robbery occurred between Paris and
Calais, and consisted of rifing the luggage
that contained articles OF great value. The
police refused to say that the victim was Mr..
Vanderbilt, replying simply that 1t was a
prominent American. The general belief Is,
how eNe r, that Mr.. Vanderbilt Is the sufferer.
Railroad detectives on the continental Lines
admit that many American travellers com.
plain OF being subjected to this sort OF rob-
berry on both cars aud boats. Sergt. Mid
dlcton, chief detective South Eastern Rail
way, Chnring c. oss, said: "Thcre is, no
doubt, strict truth In the charges that many
thefts occur In travellers luggage. 1t is the
work of two gangs of thieves, each gang
having four men, one working in England,
the other in France
"Onc gets the passengers lists from the va
rious steamers, talks with the servants of rich
travellers, learning from them, as nearly as
possible, the contents of the different pieces
Of luggage. This information is then tele-
graphed to the other gang In France, and
hey are expected 10 finish up the work.
when either the English or French
police get on the track of these rascals they
simply change sides, each crossing to the
other side Of the channel, and thus it be-
comes very difficult to catch them. Ameri-
cans are always their choice prey. II is
foolish TO carry jewelry or other small
yaluablcs In travelling bag for these sneak
thieves have sharp knives with which they
slit the leather so sdroity that one hardly
knows when Il Is done"
Railroad Detective Wakefield assured the
reporter that women were the most difficult
thieves 10 deal with, and ut the same time
the most dangerous. They act as decoys,
find out where valuables are hidden, inform
the gang, and the robbery Is done. Il have
known many Americans who have suffered
from this, even after being especially
warned" Mr., Wakefield added.

The consolidation Of the Springfield and
llolyoke street ilways into an electric line
has been assured by the paying TO w. D.
LOOMS the sum Of S52 500 for 800 of the 500
Holyoke street railway shares of stock,
which is the controlling interest. The
purchase was made by a Springfield
syndicate, composed Of John Ohm
aud II. II. Bowman. The remlining shares
of stock are held by Holyoke parties, who
have the privilege Of selling out the same at
Sl7j per share to the same syndicate. 1t Is
thought the transaction means the eventual
opening OF an electrical line from HoIyoke
to Northampton II Is understood the deal
somewhat distHrbs the Connecticut River
Railroad authorities, as II means 10-cent
fare between the two cities.

DIVORCE DENIED TO BOTH.
Billy Rice, the Minstrel, ana His wife
Cannot Legally Separate.

Neither Billy Rice, the minstrel, nor his
wife, Ella Blanche, can get divorce in New
York city, although Billy has had suit
pending since 1883. In private life the part
les are Mr.. and Mrs. Pearl. The husbands
complaint declares that his wife
was unfaithiul, and had writ
ten confession. Mrs. Pearl fatty de-
MED that she was guilty, and made
counter charges of inhdelity, alleging that
sign paper, which she afterward learned
was a confession. A referee was appointed
to pass upon the case, and in his report he
recommended n dismissal Of RIce's COM
plant, finding that husband and wife were
equally guilty. Then the plaintiffs counsel
moved to reopen the case for the purpose of
introducing further evidence, but Judge In
graham has denied the motion and con-
trmed the report.

Dressed Beef Can't be Knocked Out. "

Dressed beef can't be knocked out" said
Mr. 7. ID. Armour the other day at Chicago.
lie had just finished reading dispatch from
Pittsburg that the National Butchers Asso-
citation had movement in progress to unite
the various butchers organizations and the
agricultural interests, including the Farm
ers' Alliance, against the dressed beef indus
try.
There's no great force in It," Mr.. Ar
mour continued. Dressed beef Is stern
reality. II has come TO stay. Ii can't be
knocked out, because it is cheaper and better
than other beef, and people know 1t. 1t is
gaining ground In public favor every day.
don't see how the antagonism OF the Far
mers Alliance could hurt the business, be-
cause we get few or no cattle from that sec
ton Of the country where the Alliance
thrives. 1t costs too much to raise beef in
those sections. In brief, | think there is no
foundation for the report"

over on them.
The entire train was wrecked and the en-
glneer and four of the section men were
killed outright. The fireman, two section
men and some OF the passengers were in.
