Faith of italian Fishermen.

The blind faith of the Italian fisher
men in the efficacy of holy relics is pa
thetic. Many of them keep themselves
in a state of utter impoverishment in
providing necessary amulets and charms.
Not only is the fsherman's person COW
cred with these, but his boat must also
possess all possible saving power through
these religious appliances. Should some
great storm arise and genuine danger
come, one by one these objects are cast
upon the waves with faith that is posi-
lively sublime. Meanwhile his wife
ashore, possessed of the same implicit
and pious confidence, gives her most
precious relics to the sea that her hus-
band may come safe to land. And have
no doubt that when fatal disaster comes,
as 1t always does, this man sinks into
the silence beneath the tempest with his
last spark of vital consciousness an I'M
dimmed flame of trust and faith.

A party of young people spent Satur-
day at Deep Water bay. The sail
over in the yacht Mine, with Captain
Wellman at the helm, was delightful.
Soon after landing lunch was spread
beside stream of cool water in the
shade of a large cedar. After partak-
ing of the delicacies of the season the
afternoon was spent in rambling
among the hill-tops of Lummi island.
AT 6 p. m. the sail was again hoisted,
and in good time all landed at the
boat house well pleased with the days
outing.
Those who composed the party were
Miss Waldrip, Miss Woodin, Miss
Williams, Miss Curry, Miss Huntoon,
the Misses Toles, Messrs. Byram, Well
man, Peyran and HuntoOn.

A strange story o. superstition is re-
ported from HomoHcz. in hungary. Sew
eral bodies of men had been found there
with their heads cut off. An investiga-
ton was made by the police, and it
turned out that these mutilations had in
every instance been committed by young
men who were betrothed to the widows
of the decapitated persons. The hus-
bands had died natural death, and
their widows believed that in case they
married second time their first hus-
bands would reappear and destroy their
welded happiness. Hence they had per-
suaded their new bridegrooms to decap-
itate their deceased partners. Pail Mall
