How many of us are there who do not
once in awhile feel just a little I'M
comfortable when we find that we have
sat thirteen at the taole, or have seen
the moon over our left shoulders or
have done any of the thousand and
one things that are supposed to portend
evil? Not that we think for Il moment
any misfortune really will happen in
consequence of these acts. but the sug-
gestions are not pleasant, and we wish
our attention had not been called to
them.
Of course we IL. l1Vgh at supersti.
tons, and think them silly, as they are,
but nevertheless we do not get away
from the unpleasant feeling.
| knew an old lady who considered it
positively wicked and unchristian to
give up to foolish superstitions, but
she never would allow any one to rock
an empty chair in her presence. You will
see people in the street, who have been
hurrying as if anxious to lose no time,
stop on corner and wait five minutes
for a long funeral procession to pass.
They have not the courage to cross
through it when an opportunity is of
fered, although they may waste mo-
ments that are golden to them.-Har-

Of all Irish landlords perhaps none
was more popular with his tenants than
the Earl of Leitrim. AS an instance of
what may be termed his approachability,
it may be stated that on the birth of his
second son an old woman on the estate
called at Manorvaughan to offer her
congratulations and, remarking to the
earl that this was "the first of the breed"
born on Irish soil, suggested that the
boy should be called "Pat." The earl
good naturally said he might do so, and
accordingly the child bears the name of
Hon. Francis Patrick.
1t is characteristic of the same mans
determination and resource that at one
time he voluntarily did duty in the
engine room of small coasting steamer,
which he had established for trading
purposes along the Donegal coast, for a
period of three weeks when he was
without an engineer. -London Tit-Bits.

"A Story of n Horse,

A gentleman living near here tells me
II beautiful story of his horse. A few
days since, as he was leaving his resi-
dence, n horse that he owned galloped
up and caught his arm and made an at
tempt to pull him in special direction.
Trying this for IA while he galloped off
quickly toward pasture quarter of a
mile away. Then he came back again,
calling urgently and evidently desiring
something very much. The man fol-
lowed him, and when he had reached
the pasture found the mate of the horse
entangled in broken bridge. When
the animal was liberated the one who
had called the gentleman came up to
him aud gently rubbed him with his
head and looked his love.
Gentleness and gratitude and careful
ness for others is characteristic of the
higher animals, and occasionally of the
birds and fowls. Indeed, believe that
the animals frequently deserve the
epithet gentleman or gentlewoman more
than human folk do.-Mary h. Spencer
in ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.

"These little green frogs are some

'They are made of soft India rubber.
Here are earthworms, also of the same
material, threaded on hooks. They
save great deal of trouble when real
ones are scarce, and young ladies pro-

lines be attended to. Pike and certain
other carnivorous fishes very much
enjoy small mouse on the rare
occasions when such a luxury is obtain
able, and so these little counterfeit
mice are supplied to tempt their appe-
tites Imita tons of various kinds of
animals for use as bait are becoming
more numerous every season. In this
box of counterfeit insects are grasshop-
pers, lady bugs, bronze and black
beetles, caterpillars and bees. It is not
necessary to mention the hundreds of
species of moths and other bugs that
are reproduced in the shape Of artificial
flies made of bits of feathers and fur,
that are gathered from all parts of tho
world for the purpose This horrible
looking thing represents in life-like
manner 'helgramite' larvae of the
dragon fly, otherwise known as
the devils darning needle Here
are some artificial shrimps, which
serve almost as well for bait
as real ones. Another novelty is the
floating minnow' 1t is intended for
trolling in shallow waters, where there
are ilypads or snags on the bottom
which are likely to foul the hook. So
long as the boat is going ahead the
minnow travels about half q foot be-
meath the surface; but when the boat
pauses the minnow comes to the top in

fore, counterfeiting actual live ones
with surprising accuracy, as you may
see for yourself All these things are
