The Result of RAiess Driving

Last Tuesday as the teams were wend-
ing their way from the celebration at
Calvert a double team belonging to
Marion jackson of Principle Furnace
was driven at a high speed, passing all
others until it reached the piked road
near Headly's when the driver in at
tempting to pass Saml. Hambleton s
surry load encountered the rough
stones which line the edges of the road.
One of the hind wheels OF the dayton
broke, upsetting the vehicle and threw
the occupants, five young men, into
the ditch. They were slightly injured
and the carriage total wreck. The
horses freed themselves and next dash
into E. NJ. Hunts team, breaking it
somewhat and bruising the occupants,
Passing that team the thoroughly
frightened animals tore into David
Snyder's buggy, upset it and threw Mr..
and Mrs. Snyder and Hilda Mahan to
the ground, bruising them considerably
This collision threw one of the horses
underneath the buggy and injured it sc
severely that it was with difficulty ex-
tricated. After considerable labor the
animal, a fine gray mare, was brought
to the Sun and placed under DR.. Sill;
care who soon ascertained that it wa:
injured inwardly beyond recovery anG

the work of husking corn begins, it IS pleasanter to husk in the field under the dreamy blue of m Indian summer sky that is warmed by tine yellow light of the sun of October and early November. It is possible to talk at your work if you are husker of sufficient experience to have trained your hands to operate auto- matically, and if the party of field husk- CTS include one man who is a good story teller the hours pass fast enough once the cracks and wounds that come to your hands during the first few days have closed up.
 Some of the best stories ever related by human lips have been told around the growing piles of husked ears of corn, and the quaint and piquant phrases with which they are related add immensely to their effectiveness. I knew a hired man q score and half of years ago whose stories told during husking time would make the fortune of any writer who could put them into book without los ing their charming rustic flavor. They abounded with quiet humor and subtle wit. and 1t was not every one of his rural auditors who could appreciate them. Curiously enough, the name of this hard working raconteur was Joe Miller. but his jokes were always fresh, and he never told the same story twice unless he was urged to do so. This fact gave him the reputation in the valley where

Snnerstitions In Imhria.

In land where even the doctors believe, or feign to believe, in the virtue of num- bers, we may expect an unlimited faith in the village wise woman. The gossip be lieves not only in numbers, not only in the virtue of names-such as the whispering of the words "Gaspar! Melchior! Balthazar!'' in the ear of an epileptic patient-but in charms, in the magic of caul, in the secret of the fat taken from human corpse. The witches in Macbeth would doubtless find in Umbria an ample custom for their pilots thumb, while the toad, the snake, the newt. the frog, the lizards leg and the owlet's wing are still daily ingredients, not of the witch $ hell broth, but of the family medicine chest.
 The girls of the Perugian highlands be lieve as firmly as any heroine of Theocritus that a person possessing a lock of another persons hair can will pain, disease and even death unto the owner of the hair, and thus when maidens give their betrothed lovers the customary plaited tress it is virtually their life and ali their power of suffering that they give into those trusted hands. If the man should prove unfaith- full and disease descend upon the unhappy woman, she is not, however, utterly lost. The experienced matrons of her village have means to transfer the complaint to n tree, to an animal or to cast it into running water. The patient must rise in the early dawn, touch n certain plant in a certain manner, saying, May thou wither and l flourish again, ," or bind her complaint to a tree in a given fashion, taking care never to pass again before that tree lest the dis ease recognizing its former possession, re turn to her again.-Athen9um.

Ment as Food.

Ii people would use meat once day in stead of morning, noon anl night. as is in many cases the custom, a decided improve ment in the health of families and com munities would be perceptibe and not only in the health, but in the temper, and particularly the nervous condition of the individual. It iS a perfectly understood fact that animals fed with meat become more fierce and unmanageable than when they are kept on vegetable diet. It would seem that people might learn something from such experiments and would adopt some of the improved m -thods of diet, especially in the training of children.
 Little ones fed upon meat get feverish, irritable and sometimes almost unmanage- able. \ change to fruit and vegetable diet often entirely settles their nerves and puts them in excellent condition. Of course the change must not be too sudden. With this, as with everything else in life, a reasonable amount of judgment must be exercised. Parents whose nights are made wretched and their days Il wearincss by the worrisomencs~ and fretIiug of children would do we'll to try the experiment and see if much of the trouble of which they complain is not caused by errors in diet New York Ledger.
