A cAlLD's DAYS JOURNEY.
Little Feet Which All Day Long Mark the
Passing Moments.

Passing Moments.
How many miles day the little feet
ofsyoung children will travel is often a
source of wonderment to parents who
lovingly watch them. This restless ac-
tivity was never better illustrated than
by very old story, which may interest
readers of this column.
A grandfather who had little to do
except to watch the curious antics of his
grandchildren,a they played around the
house resolved that for one day he
would follow one little fellow who
seemed especially restless, prying into
everything from morning till night.
It proved much more Of a job than he
had expected. Noon came, and if the
child was not wearied the man was, but
he had set out to go wherever the child
led, and he persevered. Toward night
there came sudden end to the expert
ment, when the child crept through be-
tween the rounds of chair where the
space was entirely too narrow for q
grown man to follow. He had to &C.
knowledge himself beaten at last.
Whether the baby turned back and
winked one eye at its grandfather the
story does not tell. No doubt, however,
the baby's mother thought he did

Talk about your horse traders, but
Washington county has few that can't
be beat. Last Monday one of them came
to town, and when he left home he bare
ly had money enough to pay his toll one
way. After arriving here it was not
long until he struck some one for q
horse trade. He continued swapping
horses all day. How many different
trades he made would be hard to tell,
but late in the afternoon, when he made
an estimate Of the days business, he
discovered that be had the same horse
that he started with, S-year-old flly,

A story with a moral is told me by a
friend from Bloomington, Ind That

also, whose accomplishment lies not in
the direction of human education.
mean genial Henry Gentry, known
wherever there ore little and big chill
dren, who like to see his performing dogs
and ponies Professor Gentry was a very
poor boy. which was no dishonor, but
still much against him in the race of
life During the last few years he has
made fortune. / am afraid to say how
much, but it must be up in the hundred
thousands Ten years ago he was still
struggling to make living for himself
and his parents, and very often it was
hard enough. And thereby hangs my
tale.
Every one knows how difficult it was
for business men to keep heads above
water during the hard times and what
serious matter 1t was to obtain money,
but Gentry had plenty of it all through
and is said to have helped more than
one man over the stepping stones.
One day very prominent business
man Of his own was caught short and
needed %, 900 to see him through. He
had property and values, but no money.
He went to the bank and asked for q
loan, but was suavely told that the bank
had it not Just as the conversation
was going ON Henry Gentry happened
to pass the bank, and the banker remark
ed, There's only one man in town who
has that much cash, and maybe he'll
lend it to you" He pointed to Gentry.
The business man took the hint, step
ped out of the bank, caught up with
Gentry, and after very complimentary
talk on his success broached his request
Gentry turned full upon him and re-
piled: "Oh, yes, I have $4,000; more

THE ORIGIN OF oMENs.
Survival of Some Celestial superstitions In
Modern Times.

Survival of Some Celestial superstitions In
Modern Times.
Something of the influence of ancient
astrology is shown in the popular belief
that the rising and setting of Sirius, the
dog star, infuses madness into the
canine race. In our medical prescrip-
tions, too, the old superstition appears.
The ornamental part of the apothecary's
R is none other than the sign of Jupi-
ter, under whose special care medicines
were supposed to have been placed, and
our nostrums are still compounded un-
der the symbol of Jove's protection. The
letter itsef-recipe, take-and its -four
ish mean substantially this: under the
good auspices of Jove, the patron of
medicine, take the following goods in
the proportions set down" Some try to
throw the responsibility for the symbol
r back to Raphael, but the sum of evil
dence points to Jupiter as its patron.
In America Friday is additionally in
good repute. Columbus sailed on Fri
day and first discovered land on Friday,
the Pilgrims landed on Friday, and on
Friday Washington was born. Yet even
in America, Notwithstanding all these
"best accidents, flavor Of misfortune
attends the day, and the statistics Of
travel and mercantile transactions for
Friday show how widespread is the pref
udice against it.
Other days less generally maligned
are Gains birthday, the first Monday in
April; the Sd of May, called the "dis-
NAL day" in the highlands of Scotland.
and Dec. 81, when Judas hanged HIM
self. Apropos of Judas, the superstition
of unlucky IS probably has its origin
with that unworthy disciple. The ill
omen dates from the last supper, when
Is sat at table. One denied his Master
and went out and hanged himself, and
since that time "twelve grouped to-
gether fear another one" A deep seated
prejudice obtains against any given IS
dipping together in the dish, lest one
fall victim to misfortune before the
end of the year. The existence of the
defiant Thirteen club in New York,
which makes that .luckless number the
pivot on which all its doings turn,
should do something to dispel this time
stained superstition. .-Chautauquan.

Diamonds In the Meteors.

Professor Berthelot has pointed out
that in the writings Of Avicenna there
is mention of metallic aerolite which
fell in Djorjan, in central Asia, in the
eleventh century which could neither
be broken nor worked up into arms or
tools. One of the blocks of native iron
found at Ovijak, in Greenland, in 1870,
is so hard that it can neither be scratch
ed nor cut, and Professor Nordenskjold
suggests that this may be due to the
presence of black diamonds disseminated
through the iron.
