The Right Man After All.

A head adorned with shaggy and un-
manageable whiskers was thrust out of
the window and voice that fitted the
beard inquired:
"What is it?"
"Oh, is this Mr. Higgins2" came still,
small voice from the shade of the door
way below.
"Yes."
"Please come right up to Ala -
street just as quick as you can, and
bring your instruments"
"Oh!- - | amt no doctor. I'm
carpenter. DR.. Higgins lives two
doors below" and the window came
down with slam that told of former
experiences of the same kind ON the part
of the humble artisan.
But Carpenter Higgins had not got
comfortably back into his bed before the
bell rang again, and uttering some re-
marks that were afterward cxpunged
from the record he rose once more and
went to the window
"Well, what the deuce do you want
now2" he calculated.
"Please, sir" said the little voice, "it's
you we want. Pa and ma is shut up in
the foldin bed, an we can't get 'em out"

superstition at Monte Carlo.

The air of Monte Carlo Is IN truth
alive with superstition; we breathe
it, eat. drink and even sleep it, for
our very dreams inspire us with the
idea of number. The most COM
mon sense individual can no more
escape the infection of superstition
than he can hope to leave the princi-
pality without having caught the
fever of gambling Unimportant
events and trivial incidents are
fraught with meaning to the roulette
loving man or woman, who see in
every combination Of persons or
things possible revelation of a lucky
number.
Friends, relations, acquaintance
become as foes in the atmosphere of
the rooms, for the gambler breads TO
be looked at or spoken to in the fear
that it may break his luck. Every
kind of odd, fanciful or common
place charm is invested with awe and
reverence by the infected person,
who would rather lose his note for
1000 francs than the silver penny
which he regards for the time being
as power to influence his good for
tune. Cor. Philadelphia Telegraph.

Superstition in New England.

During pedestrian tours in New
England, in various parts of the west
and in every southern state have
frequently staid for the night at the
houses of poor farmers, laborers,
fishermen and trappers. In such
journeys l have invariably listened
to the tales of the neighborhood,
stimulating them by suggestion, and
have found the belief in witchcraft
cropping out in the Oldest towns in
New England, sometimes within the
very shadow of the buildings where
a learned ministry has existed from
the settlement of the country and
public schools have furnished means
of education to all classes. The horse
shoes seen in nearly every county
and often in every township upon
the houses of persons suggested the
old horseshoe beneath which Lord
Nelson, who had long kept it nailed
to the mast of the Victory, received
his death wound at Trafalgar.-Dr.
Buckley in Century.

A poison pot belonging to prehis-
toric Indians has been dug up near
Reading. The pot is large flat stone,
with a circular pit in the center an
inch deep and two inches in diameter,
bearing unmistakable evidence of
having been carved out laboriously
with sharp flint instrument. 1t
still shows plain traces of the poisons
and acids which were mixed in it and
used in the poisoning of arrows. The
poisons extracted from the sacs of
copperheads and rattlesnakes and
from certain deadly plants were used
in concocting the baneful fluids. The
poisoned arrows were employed by
the Indians in killing their enemies
in war and in shooting dangerous
wild animals. Few poison pots of
this kind are in existence, even in the
most complete museum collections of
Indian rehcs.-Philadelphia Ledger.

An Archbishop's Swear.

What is an archbishop's swear9
This curious piece of information
came out by accident the other night
during one of Dr. Benson's speeches
in Whitechapel, He was speaking
without notes, and at one particular
passage waxed Indignantly eloquent
at the idea that such work as Mr..
Barnett was doing was not good and
useful work. Suddenly two words
slipped out. The archbishop colored
with confusion and apologized pro
fusely for his inadvertence. We
hasten to add that they were hardly
what would ordinarily pass as very
wicked words. The archbishop's
swear was only my goodness. y
