SEARCH EoR The DROWNED.
Superstition Common to White Mon, In.
dians and Asiatics.

Superstition Common to White Mon, In.
dians and Asiatics.
Superstition everywhere has many
curious modes of recovering the body
of drowned person. The universality
of this form of superstition is shown by
the fact that in one form or another it
is shared in this country by white man
and Indian alike
Sir James Alexander, in his account
of Canada, tells us (: The Indians i'm
agine that in the case of drowned
body its place may be discovered by
floating chip of cedar wood, which
will stop and turn around over the ex-
act spot An instance occurred within
my own knowledge in the case of Mr..
Lavery, of Kingston Mill, whose boat
overset and himself drowned near Cedar
Island, nor could the body be discov-
cred until this experiment was resorted
to-"
Not many months ago a man was
drowned at st. Louis. After search
had been made for the body, but with
out success, the mans shirt, which he
had laid aside when he went in to bathe,
was spread out on the water and allowed
to float away. For while it foated
and then sank, near which spot, it was
reported, the mans body was found.
A loaf Of bread is favorite talisman
in most European countries. Some
times it is found sufficient of itself and
sometimes it needs the aid of some
other substance. Thus in England the
loaf is usually weighted with quick
silver.
In Brittany, when the body of
drowned man can not be found, a
lighted taper is fixed in loaf of bread,
which is then abandoned to the re-
treating current When the loaf stops
there it is supposed the body will be
recovered.
In Java live sheep is thrown into
the water and is supposed to indicate
the position of the body by sinking
near it. But the objects used for this
purpose vary largely in different coun-
tries. A correspondent of Notes and
Queries tells how corpse was discov-
cred by wisp of straw around which
was tied a strip of parchment inscribed
with certain cabalistic characters writ
ten on it by the parish priest.
A curious custom is practiced in
Norway, where those in search Of
drowned body row to and fro with
cock in the boat, fully expecting that
the bird will crow when the boat
reaches the spot where the corpse lies.
1t was popular theory in days gone
by that the body Of a drowned man
would float the ninth day, notion
which, Mr.. Henderson informs us, pre-
walls in the county Of Durham. Sir
Thomas Browne alludes to it as believed
in his time, and in his Pseudodoxia
Epidemics there is discussion on
this fanciful notion. 1t was also be-
heved that the spirits of those drowned
at sea were doomed to wander for 100
years owing to the rites of burial having
never been properly bestowed on their
bodies.

The Ideal Theory.

From College class to class come
down certain stories of men and customs
which illustrate the ideas of different
years. Here is one relating to mush
and matter
In the beginning of the Revolution,
Doctor Witherspoon was president of
Princeton College. He was Scotch
man by birth, and q man of strong
common sense.
1t was the fashion of the time to hold
the ideal theory-a practical denial of
the existence of matter. The ideal
philosophy taught that external life,
and what we call material world, are
the creatures of fancy. This system of
philosophy was even more prevalent at
that time than materialism is at the
present day.
1t is said that DR.. Witherspoon, find
ing it impossible to reason upon this
subject logically with people whose
minds were on fire with the ideal the
ory entered the classroom one morn
ing, and in the course of his remarks
said
Young gentlemen, if you think
there is nothing but ideas in the world,
just go out on the campus and butt
your heads against the college walls
You will at least get an idea of mat
ter.
On another occasion the students
were at supper, at long tables, with a
tutor presiding at each. There was one
student of the senior class who did not
believe in the theory of ideas. They
had hot mush and milk for supper all
at once they were disturbed by this stu
dent uttering a dreadful cry.
Everybody started up to know what
was the matter. The student said
Mr.. Tutor | ask your pardon. ]
have just swallowed red hot idea.
The tutor bowed, and the apology
was received without any evidence ot
amusement

Not in His Holy Temple.

During a trip to the Mediterranean,
writes Kate L, Thomas in Washington
paper, when the late Admiral Colds
borough was in command of the fleet,
the chaplain, n Jealous young man, pre-
ferred request to hold services on board
the flagship on Sunday morning, The
first Sunday after permission had beea
given, the young chaplain's trepidation
gave place to supreme satisfaction when
he noted that with the exception of the
admiral the officers and men of the feet
We're assembled in full force. After
waiting few moments for the dmiral,
who failed to appear, the chaplain
opened the services in regulation man
ner; The Lord is in his holy temple,
let all the earth keep silence before
him"
As the voice rang out in the opening
words, the admiral walked on deck, and
though his face betokened a storm, he
took his seat in silence, and SO re-
mained until the congregation had been
dismissed. Then he rose, and striding
over to the chaplain, said
Young man, L want you to UNDER
stand in future that the Lord is not in
his holy temple until Admiral Colds
borough is on deck"

Restraint of Juvenile Smoking.

1t is time that the attention of all
responsible persons should be seriously
directed to the prevalence and increase
of tobacco-smoking among boys. Here
and there, as we have recently shown,
there have been observed expressions
of strong repugnance existing in the
public mind against this form of juven-
lie perversity /; but we still lack the
support of a general and outspoken OBJ
lection to its continuance. At the same
time, we feel assured that no man who
has really given any thought to the
matter would hesitate in condemning
the injurious folly of this practice.
Stunted growth, impaired digestion,
palpitation and the other evidences of
nerve exhaustion and irritability have
again and again impressed lesson of
abstinence.
Not even in manhood is the pipe or
cigar invariably safe. Much less can it
be so regarded when it ministers to the
unbounded whims and cravings of every
needless urchin. Clearly there is need
OF some controlling power here. The
parent, in certain cases, is almost as
ignorant of consequences and, prob
ably, often quite as apathetic as his boy.
Where he can be reused to the active
exercise of his authority in repression,
he should be. In very many cases he
can not, and we have no hesitation in
asserting our conviction that it is in
cumbent upon the Legislature to re-
strict this habit by an age limit which
will fall outside this period. Lancet.

WOMEN PAST FORTY.
Their Opportunities for Intellectual Im-
provement arc Few.

prOvement arc Few.
"Why should woman at the age OF
forty be, in any sense of the word,
passe ?" asked Mrs. Terhune, the other
day, at the Monona Lake assembly.
And then she answered the question in
paper that was full Of the simplest yet
the saddest and most pathetic sentences
that one is likely to hear for many
day.
Mrs. Terhune pointed out that after
the age of forty the mental forces Of
woman are at their best. and yet the
sunset of her life is darkened. Take
the average case. A woman of twenty
marries. She is handsome, intelligent
and educated. She has read, she has
bathed little in the sea Of thought,
and looked with wonderment upon its
pillows She has even dreamed of voy-
ages out there where stately ships of
splendid minds are grasping all the
winds that blow, and are pushing for
the port of progress. And then she
turns to her duties as wife. At first
she follows her reading and tries to
keep up with the times, but it keeps
her buster now than it did. Then tho
children come, and she is so hurried.
Her work is so unending and so exact
ing. She finishes one task only to find
it has brought her to the threshold of
hundred new ones. She thinks some-
times of the culture she is losing, but
she has no time. Here are duties that
will not be waved aside. She is a good
l., L. l.. 4 L.
neglected.
She loses her touch with the women
whose cares are lighter. She forgets
much that she once knew well. She
bends every energy that the children
may have advantages. She would feel
that she had done selfish, an unpar-
donable thing if she sat down to read or
to study when there were tasks de-
manded of her by her husband or her
children.
Presently she sees that the boys and
girls have discovered that mother does
not know.
How quickly children come to that
They compare her with some one, and
she suffers. Without meaning it or
huONluB ~, sic lOSeS INTEREST IN uHe
things that interest them. She never
would have thought she could do that.
To avoid it is the very thing for which she
sacrificed herself. She has made duty her
slave SO long that duty is her master.
She can not escape from the treadmill
she has builded. She goes her weary
way till the day is done, and even in
sleep she dreams of toiling. All her
associates drift further and further from
her. Her circle narrows till she stands
in the center-alone There is not a
throb from her brain that is answered
by thought from the world, and she
knows it.
Has she done best I? Would it have
been selfish for her to neglect the chill
dren little in unconscious infancy to
keep pace with them better in acute
maturity? Does she not quicker lose
hold of them, lose guidance of them
when they can outrun her-outthink
her? And when they have gone and
left her alone, and the echoes are loud
where laughter used to live, what has
she ? Neglected, forgotten, unrequited,
unthanked, in many things ignorant, in
many things dull, the measure of suf-
fering that must be hers will simply be
the measure of possibility that was hers
the day she wed.

a New Cure.

A German doctor has started theory
that most drunkards can be cured by u
very simple and pleasant course of
treatment, namely, by eating apples at
every meal. Apples, DIR, Tuplett
maintains, if eaten in large quantities,
possess properties which entirely do
away with the craving that all CON
hrmed drunkards have for drink. The
doctor says that in many bad cases
which have come under his notice he
has been able to effect u cure by this
means, the patient gradually losing al
his desire for alcohol.

half consider such questions, which is
inexcusable in these days Of multiplied

The saying Of former times that "a first
house has to be planned TO know how
to build the second" ought not now to
be accepted, A three-thousand- dollar
house may have the comforts and con-
veniences of twenty-thousand-d dollar

corner was, in winter, glass-inclosed,

tus by sending single coil of pipe
