In the window Of w. A. Morse's grocery
store can be seen two pictures which look
very familiar to people who knew the
localities, 40 years or more ago. One repre-
sents the Gardiner hotel, now the Evans
and the other tho Cobbossee house and
stable, now tho Johnson house and Opera
house. The old Augusta and Gardiner
Hourly can be seen standing in front
OF the Gardiner hotel. and other familiar
objects are recognized by the older resi-
dents. One of the cold timers said that
if one could manage to add to the picture,
one of the old fashioned large two-wheeled
affairs which were used at that time to
haul lumber on. it would make more
perfect representation of those days.

MADE HAPPY.
His Hobby of Keeping Clippings
Leads to the Recovery of Il
ninu,nnI


Diamond.
Philadelphia Times.
The old adage, Truth is stranger
than felton, received another exemp-
LITIGATION here a few days ago. Soma
three years since a young physician
named Pollard, residing in Nashville,
Tenn, was a passenger on a Texas
and Pacific train coming from Ell Paso.
Between Ft. Worth and Marshall he
discovered the loss of a valuable dia-
mond, which formed the setting of his
scarfpin. A vigorous search was in
stituted, but without result, and the
loss was advertised in the Marshall
papers, a large reward being offered
for the recovery of the stone.
Several days ago an employe of the
car shops, while overhauling a coach
which had been run in for repairs,
came across a large diamond firmly
w5dged in between the cushions Of one
of the seats. Now it happens that this
man, Hagan by name, has a little Grip
pied son who has a passion for every
| thing connected with his fathers busi-
ness, and who is in the habit of clip
| ping out of the newspapers notices or
advertisements relative to railroad af-
| fairs, and pasting them into an old
scrap book. When Mr.. Hagan spoke
| of his find his little boy seemed struck
| with an idea, and asking for his scrap
| book he began turning over the leaves.
| Presently he showed his father DR..
| Pollard's advertisement Of three years
| ago. The doctor was communicated
| with, the diamond was identified by fit
| ting it into it's old setting and the little
| cripple was made happy by handsome
| reward.

St. Paul daily globe., 1895-12-25

a stone of ill-omen, it is said, and ILL
luck must follow the person who
wears one, yet Queen Victoria of
England makes it point to have one
of these beautiful stones put in every
piece of jewelry she intends for a
present. What about the wearerS or
them? Are they all unfortunate? !
The crockery trade has reason to re-
joice in the existence of the ancient
English superstition, SO well known to
the housema-d, that If she breaks one
piece OF china, she must. necessarily.
break another Immediately after
whereupon she proceeds deliberately to-
smash the least costly piece within her
reach. t
1t is the negro who is the most SUI
perstitious being on earth Superstition
rules his every action, and leads him
to the performance of the most ridic-
ulous things. His pet superstitions are
the hoodoo and the ghost. In both OF
these he believes as implicitly as he
does in a God. The heart, torn out OF
living chicken, the tongue of liV-
ing frog, a dead mans finger, Slit
from a growing ash tree, or the blood
of murdered man, as we'll as lew
other such things, and midnight walk
of a mile or more, clad only in his
night shirt, may serve, in his 1maSlna-
ton, to quell the hoodoo, but the ghost
can never be laid until it's own purpose
is completely served. Some years ago
there was an elegant mansion i'll the
outskirts of New Orleans which had
been occupied by Strong-mlnded old
woman, who owned, together with the
mansion and grounds, number OF
slaves. 1t was said of this woman that
she was accustomed to chain one and
another in several rooms of this man
sion and beat them terribly, some
times even to death. When this hor-
rible woman died, and ever after, the
negroes round about swore that un-
earthly groans and the rafting OF
chains were heard nightly coming from
the ghosts of her victims within the
house. Consequently, the house re-
manned untenanted, although the sur
rounding round was sold, and the man.
rounding ground was sold ,and the man
sion was valued at $4,000.
One day an enterpriSing Yankee pur-
chased it for some $1,000 and, after
slight preparation, threw open the doors
for the admission of the public at so
much per head. The Chamber of Hor-
rorS,' and so on, were timorously in
spected by the multitude for many
months, and the enterprising man from
down East retired from the shoWman's
profession with a fortune and the title
deed of the house. But the ghosts were
too sensible to disgrace themselves to
the extent of being shown up for
mere song of admission fee, and were
laid then and there, much to the sat.s-
faction of the "cullud gentleman"
1t is human nature to see in others
what we fail to see in ourselves. A very
apt caution is sometimes met with,
which is, Man, know thyself"' If
every man will watch himself atten-
lively he will find that more than sin.
gle superstition will, to his utter as
tonishment, perhaps, crop out now and
again. 1t is worth trying, just for the
fun of the thing and to satisfy a COM
mendable curiosity.

MADE RESTITUTION.
Awkward Mistake of an Innocent
Little Sunday School Scholar.


Little Sunday School Scholar.
Buffalo Express.
Martha, is four years old and has just
begun her religious education in the
infant class of an uptown Sunday
school. 1t is the custom of the teacher
in this particular infant class to give
each of her small pupils a card con-
is expected to memorize during the
week. In passing them out she charged
each of the children to be sure and
keep them carefully and return them
the next Sunday, that they might he
passed on to the others. Martha is not
a very careful little girl, and, though
fully impressed with the duty of re-
turning the card, she neglected to put
it in place of safety, and even before
she reached home she discovered that
she had lost it. The thought worHed
her considerably at first until a bright
idea came into her head, and. strange
to relate, it stayed there all the week.
She said nothing to her mother about
the lost card, and the next Sunday
went off to Sunday school happy as
usual. The lost card was not troubling
her innocent little conscience. The in
FAINT class assembled and the teacher
called on the children to return their
cards. When it came Martha's turn
she arose and said timidly: lam sor-
ry, but l lost my card before L got
home. 1 have brought YOU u,Ie of my
own, which papa gave me to play with.
1t is much bigger and pret.ier than the
one lost" and she placed it with the
rest.
The young woman who was teaching
the infant class stared in mute aston
ishment, while several urregenerate
adults in different parts Of the class
room bit their lips to keep from laugh
ing The card which little Martha ten
dered was somewhat dilapidated
queen of hearts.

London Tid-Rits.

London Tid-Rits.
At ST. Petersburg the average yearly
deaths ara from 2,5GJ to 5000 in eX-
cess of the births in a population of
nearly million. In the years from
1858 % 1882 tho deata rate varied from
29.I per thousand to 3S.G, while the
b rtl,s we're only S1.1 per thousand. In
1888 25,17i children were born alive,
while there We're 30,150 deaths, an ex-
cess in this year Of about 1900. But
these figures are apt to be misleading.
The y orkmen who come up to the cap
it'll almoss invariably leave their wives
AID children in the provinces. Thus,
mHny births take place in the provinces
which are not reckoned to the account
Lf the capital. The fact that about
IS per cent of the population are over
sixteen years of age tcstiiies to the
universe ltty Of the practice Of leaving
the children in the country.
Tie same fact is demonstrated
By the presence of twelve men
to every ten wor?en in st. Petersburg,
whereas in mcst towEs this proportion
Is exactly reversed. It will thus be
seen that though the deaths are in eX-
cess OF the births. there is not likely
le be any dim:uution in the actual pop
iiatiGu Of the :owH. In fact. its pop
ulation increased 90 per cent between

WHAT THEY STUDY AT YALE.
Classics Still Lead in the List
Mathematics Take a Drop.


AN interesting table has been pre-
pared showing the hours of instruc-
ton devoted to different studies by the
class of 1896 in the academic depart
ment of Yale (Which will graduate
next year, but whose schedule of elec-
tives is now made ouD, and the class
of 1892. which graduated as '96 entered,
says the Hartford Courant. From this
it appears that the classics still lead;
indeed they make nearly one-fourth of
the work of 1896, but they were as much
above a quarter for 1892 as they are
below it for 1896. European languages
are practically in the same ratio for the
two classes. Mathematics take a note
worthy and comforting drop from 14S
per cent to 9.S and from second place
to fifth. Political science advances
from 7.6 to 9.8 and English happily
moves UP from S.5 to 1913. History
gains, too.
