TO PREVENT BADNESS.
A Sage BARRIERS Unique Idea Upon

"Thc preservation of the hair and the
prevention Of badness is n matter to
which have given considerable atten-
ton and thought" said IA barber not far
from the World office, the other day.
"And ! have come to the conclusion
that all the patent tonics that were ever
compounded by my craft are lot half us

natural nOurishmcnt Of the hair runs to

the hair Just as much as the tarcs among

their hair is in constant contact with the

Superstitions of Marriage.

The Romans deemed it an i'll omen to
meet certain animals while on the way
to have the wedding ceremony pro-
nounced. A hare, dog, cat, lizard or
serpent were extremely unlucky animals
to meet upon such occasions. A wolf,
toad, OK or horse were lucky. In Greece
the groom is sprinkled with water on
leaving home to meet his future bride.
The bride must visit the oven In COM
pany with her father and mother if she
would have happy married life.
In France, during the Middle Ages, q
ring woven from straw, or one made
of horseshoe nails, was placed on the
brides finger at the conclusion of the
marriage rite. The couple also stood in
ring five or six feet in diameter, made
of mistletoe or straw.
In China a girl who is partaking Of
the last meal she is to eat in her fathers
house previous to her marriage, sits at
the table with her father and brothers
only; but she must not eat over one half
OF the bowl of rice set before her, other
wise her departure will be followed by
continued scarcity in the domicile she is
eaving.
In Scotland it was formerly particu-
larly Ominous to meet funeral while on
the way to be joined in wedlock. The
bride or groom was certain to die soon,
as the sex of the person being taken to
the graveyard was male or female. The
Swedish bride seeks to catch a glimpse
of the groom before he sees her, hoping
thereby to gain the future mastery. She
also places her foot before his while the
ceremony is being performed and sits
down first. While the words are being
said she stands near the groom, SO that
in the future no one will come between
them. -
In Brittany if the wife hopes to rule
she must take care that the ring, when
placed upon her finger, shall slip at once
to its place without stopping at the large
second joint.
In Russia the bride must not eat Of the
wedding cake unless she wishes to lose
her husbands love. fla dog belonging
to the family of the bride should howl
on the day of the wedding or the day
previous to the event, he must be shot by
the father of the bride and no one else,
and, beside that, with a bullet made
from a silver rupee.-[St. Louis Rcpub-

Smallest Baby in the World.

Mr.. and Mrs. Theobold NJ. Donaldson
of Sandy Hook, Md, claims the small
est baby in the country. At its birth it
weighed scarcely pound and now, at
the age of four months, its weight is
only four pounds. An ordinary cigar
box is sufficiently large for the baby to
take a nap in. 1t is perfectly formed in
every particular and the physicians
state, will live, with proper care. Mr..
and Mrs. Donaldson are both healthy
and robust and have four other stout
and healthy children. They feel very
proud of their little baby, which has
been the talk of the neighborhood for
miles around. Hundreds of persons
have visited their home and admired
the little one. Some curiosity seekers
have been among the callers, and an
agent of Baltimore museum is trying to
make arrangements with Mr. and Mrs.
Donaldson to place the little one on ex-

Crocodile Nests and Eggs.

Some habits Of crocodiles have been
lately described by Nr. Nocitzknow.
Travelling in Wituiand, he obtained in
January last seventy new laid eggs

FIVE or six naccS from the bank of WACO
coma, Il tributary of the Ooi. The spot
had been cleared Of plants in a circle of
aIout six PAGES diameter, apparently by
hy the crocodile having wheeled around
several times. Here and there few
branches had been laid, but there was no
nest-building proper. The so-called
nest lay quite open to the sun (only
couple of poor bushes at one part). The
eggs lay in four pits dug in the hard.
dr. ground, about two feet obliquely
down. Including eggs broken in dig
Sing ont. the total seems TO have been
eighty-ive to ninety. According to the
native, the crocodile, having selected
and prepared spot, makes a pit in it
that day and lays about twenty to TWEEN
ty-iive eggs in it, which it covers with
dit. Next day it makes second pit,
an. o on. From the commencement it
remains in The nest, and it sleeps there

disturbed, and saw drop into the water,
seemed to be the crocodilus vulgaris, so

EVERETT C. M'cLgLLANp.

Wheeling seems to have somewhat
lost her old-tmc prestige rs sporting
city. There was time when she had q
reputation as the home OF sports second
only to her name as u manufacturing
centre. To-day her old rowers, fighters,
and wrcstlcrs are meyer heard OF, but
she can still claim to be the home OF
one champion-Everett G. McClclland,
who after beating all corners OF his own
countrymen, also beat the English
champion, Harry Darrin. Tho INrELLr-
GEScER has already announced that
McClelland is to run five milo race on
the West Virginia State Fair grounds
course next Saturday, and that event
ought TO be witnessed by large crowd.
Andy Seibert, OF Pittsburgh, who is
pittcd against him, is n good one and Il
slayer, and McClelland gives him u
half mile start in the five, which will
require the young fellow to get over the
ground pretty lively.
McClelland is modest, unassuming
young man OF twenty-five or twcnty.six.
lie is resident OF the South Side, and
Gays he regards Wheeling as his perma-
nent home. He is engaged in training
every day ior the race with Scibcrt, and
is in good condition.
Everett G. NIcCleland was born at
Cannonsburs. For several years he has
had good reputation rs runner and
his achievements have rarely been
cqualcd. Hc made tour OF the East
this fall, and ran in the Caledonian
games at a number OF resorts. In nine
teen races which he entered, he came
out first in sixteen, second in two and
third in the other. The races which he
was bested were for too short distance.
He is not n Splinter, but 4 long distance
runner. Those who had the greatest
confidence in him had grave doubts OF
his ability to beat Darrin in three
mile race, but he. did it. Had the race
been for five miles Darrin would not
have been Sin il"
McClclland has beaten Peter Priddy
six times. and Priddy beat him in a
onc.mile race. He beat Priddy and
Cannon, then English champion, at
YAK Island, y. 7. he ran McCabe, OF
Brownsville. Pa, fifteen miles on q
freezing cold day, with the track covered
with ice and snow.o These are only 4
few OF the ieats he has already accom-.
plished, and he has the timber in him
to do still greater things.
McClelland has issued Il challenge to
any man in the world to run five, ten
or fifteen miles or one hour. That Ger.
tainly shows confidence in his own
ability and = willingness to back up his
title to the worlds championship.
