THE STORMY PETREL.
Some of the Curious Superstitions of Old
Sailors About the Bird.


One of the best known OF the sea
birds is the stormy petrol. 1t is oftenest
seen during storms. flying above the
waves in search of the shellfish and
other small animals that are brought to
the surface by the tempest. The sailors
call petrels Mother Carey's chickens"
and do not view them with much favor,
owing to their being constant compan-
ions of storms. Jack thinks that rough
weather may be expected when he sees
petrels about and is not quite sure that
they do not in some way cause the tenn
pest. When the bird is on the outlook
for its prey, it seems to walk on the
water. Hence the seamen Of olden time,
In allusion to the apostle Peters walking
on the water, called the bird petrol, from
the Latin Petrellus, Little Peter"
So far from the sailors being superstl-
tious as to the capture of another kind
of petrel-the Cape pigeon-which is ola
black and white color and about the size
Of tame pigeon, l have known Jack to
take a hand occasionally in capturing
them as a bit of recreation during dog
watch. In southern ATTITUDES the Cape
pigeons follow a ship in thousands. The
method of catching them is peculiar. a
common bottle cork is tied to the end of
a long piece of thread and trailed astern
so that the cork touches the water. This
gives the required tautness to the thread.
AS the birds fly in clouds from side to
side astern some of them constantly
strike the thread with their wings, and
the resistance is enough TO turn them
over it, when the thread is wrapped
round the wing and the bird is hauled
on board. In this manner | have seen
hundreds caught in day.
On one occasion a clipper ship, carry
ing passengers to India, captured pigeons
by hundreds, and the surgeon by some
mischance succeeded in entangling
stormy petrol.
Now the doctor was an enthusiastic
naturalist and what TO the sailors Is
known as n "landlubber that is, he was
on his first voyage. The doctor at once
took the specimen to his cabin and made
preparations to skin and preserve it. In
hot haste a deputation of seamen, headed
by the old gray haired sailmaker, came
aft with a request that the petrol be set
at liberty, saying that otherwise the ship
and all on board would surely suffer.
The doctor, somewhat surprised, in
tended to set the bird free, but his en-
thusiasm as Il naturalist prevailed over
the superstitious warning, and when the
sailors had disappeared the bird was add
ed to his collection. The fact soon be-
came known forward among the men,
and the doctor was regarded with black
looks by the crew for the remainder Of
the voyage.
In the course Of time the good ship
anchored in the Hugh river, and that day
at dinner the doctor suddenly died.
There was a gathering of the sailors
around the windlass that dogwatch, and
the doctors sudden death was attributed
by Interpretations sailors to his slaugh-
ter of the stormy petrel.-St. Nicholas.

f-,,.r.c,.risties of Criminals.

The measure around the skull of the
criminal, taken horizontally, is always
less than that around the skull of the
upright man, and his brain is found to
be lighter, his constitution feebler, too,
and his heart is weak. But even among
culprits themselves there are great diff
ferences-thus the highway robber IS
naturally found to be taller than the
pickpocket, and the b"ncs Of his skeleton
are stronger. He ana the murderer,
when they write at all, write a large
round hand with many fourishes. The
thief writes with effeminacy, small
band.
These people are apt to give the stu
dent surpriNs. lie finds, for instance,
that they are not h; 1itually cruel. Wan
ton murderers will be kind to pet.
Where they are cruel it is the women
who are most 50, and who discover the
most shocking forms of cruelty, and al
though a few have t 4 tLey are all
wanting in the ability ID us their talent
to advantage, but most ct them have
great stupidity.
They are Eighty and faithless always,
clinging long to nothing. And with it
all they are extraordinarily superstitious.
The one satisfactory thing that comes
out of all this investigation is the estab-
Ishment of the fact that education di-
minishes the tendency to crime, and that
as by slow degrees the day shall come
when a whole generation is educated
the children of that generation will be
born with less and less tendency to crime
or to crime made easy.-Harper's Bazaar.

DISTRICT ORGANIZATION.

Bingham county having been divid-
ed into three counties, making it al
most impossible to hold county con-
ventions Of the w. q. 7. U. unions, it
was thought best by those present
from the three counties to organize a
district and take in three other coun-
ties, calling the organization the Dis
trict of Eastern Idaho. The counties
now belonging to this district are ;
Bear Lake, Oneida, Bannock, Cassia,
Bingham and Fremont.
The following officers were elected
to serve until next convention
President, Mrs. S. E. Holbrook,
Blackfoot; Vice President, Mrs. L. f.
Givens, Blackfoot; Recording Secre.
tary, Mrs. Jennie Mahon, Pocatello;
Treasurer, Mrs, Vanderbeck, Pocatello.
Besides the officers we have Superin-
tendent of Departments and have to
prosecute the work more thoroughly
in the Rural Districts by organizing
Unions and Temperance Legions.
We hope the organization may be
blessed by God and made fruitful for
good Of the cause here represented.
