A Belief That Proves Troublesome,

Arecently returned eastern missionary
says that a small, but persistent, vexa-
ton in household affairs is the firm be-
lief in the transmigration of souls among
ones Buddhist servants and its often
ludicrous consequences. For instance,
once on shipboard the sailors were di.
rected to kill the cockroaches with which
the vessel was infested. This they dared
not do, fearing that some ancestors spirit
might be imprisoned in that most un-
likely form. They approached the YER
min gently, lifted them up on sheets of
paper and dropped them overheard in a
manner almost tender and quite defer
entail.
One young convert chung to her newly
made friend during her last illness with
the constant cry that she feared, when
the end should come, that the old belief
would be too strong for her, it pressed
so hard upon her that the soul was des-
tined for further earthly life. It was
cause for great rejoicing at the mission
station that dissolution came in sleep
and unattended by this horror.-New
York Times.

4 Tradition OF. the Flood.

All the northern coast Indians have
a tradition of food which destroyedan
mankind, except a pair from which the
earth was again peopled. Each tribe
gives the story q local coloring, but the
plot Of the legend is much the same. The
Bella '.oola tradition is as follows:
The creator Of the universe, Mes-mes-
sa-la-nik, had great difficulty in the ar
Management of the land and water. The
earth persisted in sinking out Of sight.
Atlast he hit upon plan which worked
very well. Taking a long line of twisted
walrus hide he tied it around the dry
land and fastened the other end to the
corner Of the moon. Everything worked
well for long time, but at last the spirit
became very much offended at the action
Of mankind, and in fit Of anger one day
seized his great stone knife and with a
mighty hack severed the rope of twisted
skin. Immediately the land began to
sink into the sea. The angry waves
rushed in torrents up the valleys, and in
short time nothing was visible except
the peak Of a very high mountain.
All mankind persisted in the whelming
waters with the exception Of two, man
and his wife, who were out fishing in a
big canoe. These two succeeded in
reaching the top of, the mountain and
proceeded to make themselves at home.
Here they remained for some time until
the anger of mes-sa-la-nik cooled,
which resulted in his fishing up the sew
cred throng and again fastening it to the
moon. From this pair thus saved the
earth was again populated q.

Though the Egyptians claim to have

small number of sailors who had landed

That curious compendium Of Judicial
and legislative wisdom, the English com

feudal days when those forming the
militant half Of the human race were
held to be properly the holders Of all
property, because they could defend
their rights to it in battle, and therefore
it Disseminated in every possible way
against the 11distaf line. : This has
been the underlying impulse of every

MADE MISERABLE FOR LIFE.

This you may easily be If you fail to
remedy the indigestion and non-assimi-
lation Of the food, which are the at
tendants and originators of nervous
ness, that ever present ailment which
no narcotic, mineral sedative or ner-
vine can ever do more than temporar-
lily relieve. OF course these remedies
have no effect upon the organs Of di-
6estion and assimilation, except to dis
order and enfeeble them, thus aggra-
waiting the original difficulty. Among
The most alarming and dangerous
symptoms of chronic nervousness is
insomnia, which IS the professional
term for inability to sleep. Where
this exists there is always n tendency
to mental overthrow, paresis and event
uai insanity. Begin at the fountain
head OF all this difficulty with Hos
letters Stomach Bitters and avert evil
consequences. No sooner does the
stomach resume its tone, and the sys-
tenn gain in vlgor through the aid Of
this benign tonic, than sleep returns
and the nerves grow tranquil. Chills
and fever, rheumatism, biliousness, and
constipation yield to the bltters.

While the walks in the Public Garden

430 o'clock, people near the entrance gates
at the corner of Beacon and Charles streets
were mortified to see man suddenly plunge
knife repeatedly into his throat and fall TO
the ground.

questioned the would-be suicide, who was
about 80 years of age, as to his name, address,
and reason for wishing to end his life, but
the man steadfastly refused to give any infor.

the Massachusetts General Hospital and
surgical attendance given him. Although
weak from loss of blood it is probable he
will recover. About 8 o'clock last night q
hospital attendant got little information
from him. He said his name was Samuel
D., and that he came some weeks ago
from New Brunswick. The last few days
his head has felt queer, and he has been wan

to turn. What impelled him 10 commit his

Bellona of the prairie had need to be
content, and to console herself with
adulterating the ozone of her native
air by slanging the New York bankers
for asking the Kansas banks to
straigbten their accounts.
Emma Goldman is a young lady of
very advanced ideas indeed. She is the
wife of the very good friend of the
man who shot Mr.. Frick. She consid-

she has met. She wears glasses and

ally: astoria is still holding out
against allowing the Salvation Army
to use its peculiar methods, struggle
one city after another has had to aban-
don. Astoria's difficulty appears to be
that she Is unable to restrain the street
encounters between the Army and the
hoodlums. 1t will probably find It cas-
ier to discipline the hoodlums than to
silence the Army If experience is
worth anything, this is what the ul.l-
mate solution of the question must be.
The Army will have mission as long
as there are hoodlums. We have not
as yet reached a state where hell fire
as a measure of police protection can
be allowed to lapse into innocuous des-
uetude."
Isn't 1t about time that the city of
Astoria, as unfortunately personified
by u majority of the local council,
dropped its pig-headed foolishness that
is making it the laughing stock of the
whole state? The Salvation Army in
tends to win it's fight here as 1t has
done elsewhere. Would the council
sooner crawl down, than give way
gracefully while it can.
