Turkish Superstitions.

If pair of scissors are left on
table open it is sign of a quarrel. If
they fall upon the floor and stick up it
means visit, and if an apple or other
fruit falls from your hand just as you
are about to put it in your mouth it is
a sign some one envies you. If loaf
or piece of bread falls to the floor it
IS sign that some of your relatives
are in want of bread in strange
place. To bite your tongue signifies
that you are not telling the truth The
little white spots which come under
the finger nails mean various things,
according to the finger. The right
thumb nail means money earned; the
left, finding money or present. The
first finger means friends, the next en-
emies, the third journeys and the little
one fibs. When an eyelash falls off
and lies on the cheek it means pres
ent of new gown or other article of

A BABY PRISONER OF WAR.
An Interesting Incident of an Engage
ment in the Crimea.

An Interesting Incident of an Engage
ment in the Crimea.
A physician who was one of the Eng
lish medical staff in the Crimean war
tells, in Seventy Years of Life in the
Victorian Era," a story which he calls
the ''baby incident" A mandate had
gone forth to the effect that a certain
suburb of Sebastopol should be raided'
by select body of English; the attack
was to take place at midday, when the
enemy were at dinner.
The venture was so quickly executed
that it was completely successful. The
occupants of the cottages had fed,
leaving their dinners untouched on the
tables, and the canaries in their cages:
in one cottage was found child about
six months old, clothed, and asleep in
its cradle.
An officer carried away the little one
as prisoner of war, and sent the news
of his capture to headquarters. Word
came at once from Lord Raglan, order
ing that flag of truce should be sent
out next morning and that all possible
search and inquiry should be made for
the mother of the child. Some of the
officers were amused that so much
trouble should be taken about stray
baby, but the chiefs order had to be
obeyed.
No mother was forthcoming, how
ever, to acknowledge the lost waif.
But there was a woman in the rifle
brigade who had baby few weeks
old, who was willing to undertake
double duty. About three weeks
elapsed, and then Raglan the Good"
sent another message to his staff, who
had forgotten all about the adopted
child, directing that inquiry be made
after ''the mother and her twins"
Word came back that the two chill
dren were thriving admirably, but that
the mother herself looked worn and
tired.
Glow many COWS are there?" asked
Raglan.
zone, SIR" was the reply.
"Then," said the self-denying chief,
''send the woman down bottle of
milk every morning.
After this, the little army protege
became very popular. A chaplain
christened her Alma, and at the end of
the war the queen adopted her and
gave her liberal education.

SAFETY IN A FAST STEAMER,
Such Vessels as the Campania Must o
Necessity Re Strong.

Such Vessels as the Campania Must of
Necessity re Strong.
A ship that car make a voyage to
New York and back in fortnight will
earn fifty-two freights in the year, in
stead of twenty-six of the boats of
twenty years ago, says the Saturday
Review. The crew costs no more, if
the coal does, and the earnings are
double. But there is yet another view
of the matter. The late Sir William
Pearce, who began these fast boats by
the building of the Arizona, and whose
successors at Fairfield have built the
Campanja, once asked friend, whose
imagination reeled at the idea of a
twenty-five knot boat, whether he
would not prefer to go down in fast
boat in preference to meeting an
ignominous death in an ocean tramp.
The humor of the sentiment lies in the
fact that it is the ocean tramp that al
ways goes down in the case of { col.
lisioG and it is the fast boat that sends
the tramp down. Parliamentary hui
manitarians should see to this. Surely
their reckless ingenuity is equal to the
discovery of some way of preventing
people from choosing their mode of
drowning. Those who know most
about boats know that the safe boat is
the fast boat, because the fast boat
must of necessity be strong. The fast
and strong boat never waits for the
waves to hustle and buffet it; it goes
through them. Once in awhile, it is true,
an equinoxm may contrive gale that will
trouble even the Campania, but a wave
requires time to gather itself together
and spend its strength and a fast
boat of the right build does not wait.
There are, of course, fast fair-weather
boats, designed to make record" pas
sages in sunshine, which do so, but
which founder in the trough of the sea
when the waves roll high.

OAKLAND, CAL. Oct. 19-Last night,
just as Mrs. Rollett of the Star bakery,
was closing her shop, two men entered
and one of them asked for 10 cents
worth of doughnuts. She replied that
she had only cup-cakes, and the other
man asked her if she could change a
dollar. She said she could and the fell
low then drew revolver, saying
Your money or your life" Mrs.
Rollett did not faint, but jumped at the
would-be robber, knocked the pistol
from his outstretched hand and called
for help. Her cries frightened the rob-
beers and they ran out and down the
street az fast as they could.

IN HOMEMADE LINEN.
Just Such Clothes as They We're Marie
In Sixty Won S On.

just Such Clothes as They We're Married
in Sixty Years Ago.
A year ago last spring, says Scran-
ton (Pa.) correspondent of the New
York Sun, Mrs. Henry B. Shetland, of
Gibson township, Susquehanna county,
said to her husband: Henry, we
ought to raise some fax this year"
The aged farmer hadn't raised crop
of fax in thirty-nine years, SO he
asked: "What for, Elizabeth" "Well,
you know, Henry" replied the good
old wife, eff we live till year from
June we'll have been married sixty
years, and I thought it would be nice
to give party then and receive our
guests in the same kind of linen cloth
ing we wore when we stood up to be
married down in Connecticut in 1888.
We've got all of the old flax tools
stored away, and if you'll raise some
flax, Henry, I'll spin and weave it and
make nice homemade suit for each
of u.s."
Farmer Shetland was eighty-six and
his wife eighty-fve at the time. Both
were rugged and healthy, and when
the old farmer had thought the matter
over for moment he exclaimed: ''By
George, Elizabeth, I'll do it,
A few days afterward the old farmer
prepared piece of rich ground back
of the barn and sowed a patch of flax.
The aged couple watched its growth
every day with anxiety The crop was
excellent and when it had got ripe in
the fall Farmer Shetland gathered it,
beat the seeds from the tops, and
! spread the straw on the grass to rot
In November he tied it up in bundles
and packed it away in the barn.
On a beautiful sap morning in March
Farmer Shetland brought out the flax
and stood it up along the south side of
the barn. The wind was in the north
and in day or so the flax was as dry
as bone. Then the old farmer broke
it, swingled it, and turned it over tC
his aged wife, who Immediately tied
up her head, shut herself in the kitch-
en- and hatcheled the flax till all the
| tow was separated from it. The next
day she got the old spinning-wheel
from the garnet, oiled it up, and began
to make it buzz unsteady. Farmer
Shetland came in smiling and happy
while his wife was spinning.
''I'd rather hear that wheel than a
piano, Elizabeth" he said. sit is like
old times.'
$50 it does, Henry. But I can't make
the wheel go as fast as I used to-
In few days the old lady had spun
all the flax and reeled it into skeins.
The next thing she did was to boil the
skeins in weak I've of wood ashes to
bleach the yarn, and when that was
done Farmer Shetland ripsed the
skeins in the brook till all the I've was
out. Mrs. Shetland began at once to
weave the yarn in the old loom, and by
June she had woven it all into cloth.
Within three weeks the old lady
cut and made a frock and apron for
herself and a whole suit for her hus-
band, and June 26 last the aged couple,
dressed in their homespun linen gar
ments, celebrated the sixtieth ami
versary of their marriage in com
pany of three-score relatives and
! friends.
