In a paper recently read before the
New York Folklore society, Lee J..
Vance narrates some curious facts,
quoted by the New Orleans Picayune,
showing the survival of the vampire
superstition among the Hungarian
miners in Pennsylvania. One of
these miners at Antrim, who was
suffering from consumption, con-
ceived the idea that his suffocation
and shortneSs of breath was caused
by the ghost OF former boss. who in
life had tyrannized over him, sitting
on his breast and sucking his life
blood. In Hungary ghosts who thus
pray on the living are exercised by
burlng the hearts which beat in the
bodies they inhabited before death.
The proof that a body is that of
vampire is heart still fresh and full
OF blood, when the rest of the corpse
may be decayed. When a heart
which is thus proved to be that of a
vampire is burned the live person who
has been the ghosts victim recovers
from the effectslof the visitation.
Believing all this implicitly. the
miner. aided by his brother, dug up
the corpse of the dead boss and cut
out the heart. 1t was found to be
fresh and full of blood, as they ex-
pected, and they accordingly burned
it, with full faith that good results
would follow to the sufferer from con-
sumption. The immediate result |
was the arrest of the disturbers of |
the dead. They were not prosecuted,
however, allowances being made for
their ignorance. In spite of the
burning Of the boss heart the con-
'umptive miner, although he pro-
'essed at first to feel perfectly. we'll,
lied not long afterward.

Testing Diamonds.

There are several ready tests for
| diamonds. That which is generally
adopted by jewelers. has for its foun-
dation the well-knOwn fact that the
diamond is harder than any other sub.
stance, and can consequently not be
scratched or marked by anything but
another diamond.
The second test is that it becomes
positively electric by friction, but it
is not electrified by heat, and this
serves to distinguish it from the topaz
and many other stones
Another method of determining
whether diamond is genuine or not
is to pierce hole in a card with
needle, and then look at the hole
through the stone. If false you will
see two holes, but If genuine only
single hole will appear.
You may also make the test in an
other very simple way. Put your
finger behind the stone and look at it
through the diamond as through a
magnifying glass. If the stone is
genuine you will be unable to dis
tinguish the grain of the skin, but
with false stone this will be plainly
visible. Besides looking through a
real diamond the setting is never
visible, whereas it is with a false
stone.

thinRed and simmered slowly and
penetrated the tar into the wood, un-
til the varnish became part of the

The old violin makers used to save
every bit of the wood when they
found what they liked, to mend and
patch and inlay with it. So vibrant
and so resonant is the wood of good
old violins that they murmur, and
echo, and sing In answer to any sound
where number of them hang to-
gether on the wall, as if rehearsing
the old music that once they knew
1t was doubtlessly owing to this fact
that when the people could not &C
count for Paganini's wonderful play
ing. they declared that he had hu--
man soul imprisoned in his violin, for
his violin sang and whispered even
when all the strings were of.

A NEGRO preacher of Cambridge,
Ohio, prophesied that he would die
on the evening of April 2e. He was
in good health until within a few
minutes of 7, when he quietly lay
down and expired. People who do
not believe in the modern gift of
prophesy will see in this occurrence
the effect of mind over matter. If
that negro's gift of dying at pleasure
could be made universal acquire
ment, what deal of revolving detail
could the world be spared in the mat
ter of suicide. A person tired of life
would not find it necessary to blow
his head off in his bedroom, or to take
poison and die in the house. He
would simply will himself dead and
pass away naturally and peaceablE

Various stories have been told of
the tails Of the Nam Mans of Cen.
trail Africa, who have also been as
serted to be cannibals. Their tails
have been described as smooth and as
hairy, as peculiar to the men, and as
possessed by the men and women both.
The most interesting and circum-
stantial account of this feature is
given by Dr. Hubsch, Of Constanti-
nople, who examined tailed negress
Her tail was about two inches long
and terminated in point The
slave dealer who owned her said that
all the Nam Mans had tails. and
that they were sometimes ten inches
long. DR.. Hubsch also saw a man OF
the same race who had tail an inch
and half long, covered with a few
hairs; and he knew at Constantinople
the son of a physician who was born
with tail an inch and half long
and one of whose grandfathers had
a like appendage. The phenomenon.
he said, is regarded generally in the
East as sign of great brute force.

THE improvement of firearms in
the course of the present century al
most equals the progress from cross
bows to f1iEt-lock muskets. The
trumpet-shaped musquetoons of the
fifteenth century could be used only
at short range, but their chief de-
feet was their liability to miss fire al
together. AS late as 1852 Marechal
SAKE pardoned a deserter because
every one Of the six muskets in the
hands aof the firing squad had failed
to explode its charge, and the delin-
quent was considered a protege of
Providence. Imagine the chances of
that soldier if the six marksmen had
used rifles of the Manlicher pattern,

Laudable as the desire to make
every one feel pleasant is, there is a
point beyond which it can scarcely be
commended. Sam Bassett was one
Of the hardest and best workers in
Greenville, and in harvest time he
earned large wages by "hiring out"
as he had no farm of his own, TO the
various farmers who needed extra
help. Sans chief fault was his ap-
parent inability to refuse to do any,
thing for any one who asked him.
Once, when farm hands were
scarce, one man had secured Sans
service at the beginning Of the har-
vest The first day, while the two
were at work, another farmer came
up, and asked Sam to help him the
next day.
"Ill see what ken do for ye,
said Sam, encouragingly.
Presently another farmer came
along, asked the same question, and
received the same answer.
The farmer for whom he was work
ing was somewhat indignant and
amazed at Sans evident intention to
assist three different people on the
same day.
Sam" said ne, 'what do you
callate TO do2 First you promised to
help me tomorrow, and now you've
agreed to help Two others. What do
you mean?"
''Oh, WELL" said Sam, easily, II

OSCAR WIDDE's new play consists
of title and a tumble of epigrams.
1t would be improved by the elimina-
tion of the epigrams. When, for in
stance, Wilde makes one character
aver that "a bad man is one who ad-
mires innocence" he is indulging in
something very like idiocy. His
further allegation that a ''well tied
tie is the first serious step in life" is
only half complete. A well-tied tie,
trespassing somewhat on the ear, is
also sometimes the last serious Estep
