SUPERSTITIONS In SOCIETY
Some Ladies Object to Being Told
That They Look Well.
Others Have a Horror of Meeting
Sitting Cross-Legged Is Lucky.

The extent TO which small superstitions
prevail in Washington society is really re-
markable when one reflects that those same
superstitions are held not by the ignorant,
but by some OF the most highly cultivated
people.
At an informal afternoon tea just after
the close OF the regular season there was
not III the room a reIson that had not a
pet superstitition. When ii is understood
that the company wascomposed ortAe ultra
fashionable element OF Washington So
ciety this fact viii be found fraught with
considerable interest
The subject in this respect was started
by one OF the late arrivals who, in response
10 the remark or her hostess that she was
looking especially well, put out her hand
in protest.
"Doat. You make me quite nervous.
That is the second tine within ten min
utcs the same remark has been made 10
me. You may laugh. but have super
stitious feeling whenever any one tells me
that am looking well. Myo,d nurse always
told me must break the Yocdco either by
splitting on wood or by crossing myself"
Then she lauEaingly continued: "Since
] have been grown have always adopted
but, to save my life, cannot wholly give
up my belief I'D the superstition.
Another OF the women present held il as
essential to her happiness no less than her
welfare that on meeting cross-eyed per-
son, 10 matter where or what the circum-
stances or that meeting, she must turn
around three times.
A third held a superstition that if a
visitor called whose acquaintance was not
desired, the proper and only effieacious
method of insuring a complete cessation Of
such visits in the future was 20 throw salt
after the visitor when he departed.
One OF the funniest OF all was in regard
TO sitUng crosS-legCed. The wife of q
prominent Senator has so firm belief in
The efficacy OF this method Of insu ring uck

II could be no more removed than could

OF toy cannon. Her husband raises

such times, in Older TO insure to him the
desired luck, the wife Sits cross legged

Bond Contract Rumors.

The Treasury officials now in the city
still maintain perfect silence as to what,
if any, notifications have been made
In the bond contract or what If any,
basis there is for the rumor that the syndi-
cate will no longer use its influence to pro-
tect the Government from gold with
drawals for export.
The rumor, however, is given no Gre
dence here by persons having any knowI-
edge OF the situation. 1t is more than
probable, it is said, that the syndicate
has obtained permission from the Sccre-
tary to make temporary deposits of g.

A TRUE HEN STORY.
Why the Hen and the Snake Are Sworn
Enemies.

Did you ever know that snakes and
hens are sworn enemies? Indeed.
chickens have been know to attack good
sized black snakes. This, however. is
only moderate-sized snake story | am
going to tell-that is, the story of a
medium-sized snake.
One morning lady who was visiting
in the country looked out of her window
and saw an old hen behaving in most
eccentric fashion. Knowing what total
abstainers" hens are, she knew that the
old Biddy was not indulging in a spree
so concluded that she must be suffering
from sunstrOke.
On looking more closely, however,
she discovered that the hen had a
veritable case of snakes, in spite of all
her temperance principles. For there,
cOiied ready for a spring, was snake
some twelve or fifteen inches long. As
the snake sprang, the hen backed off.
Then, while her enemy was recovering
itself and preparing for another dart,
the hen rushed in and pecked at its
head most vigorously, backing off again
as she saw the snake ready TO jump.
This manoeuvre continued until the
snake lay stretched to coil no more,
when the hen began in leisurely, bust
nesslike way to make breakfast of that
snake, beginning with the head and
swallowing it inch by inch, until not a
wiggle of its slender tail remained in
view.
Apropos of the total abstinence habits
of hens, am reminded of a trick played
by a small boy on some stately old hens,
who stepped haughtiiy around his
fathers yard, as if they merely allowed
the family TO live there for their con-
venience. He soaked bread crumbs in
whisky and scattered them literally in
the chicken-yard. Now, | never knew
a hen who would refuse to eat any
thing that was thrown to her, from cold
roast to n diamond ring. SO very soon
the bread crumbs had vanished, and in
a short time the jolliest party of old
hens who ever got a jag on, were cluck-
| ing and cawking around, tangle-footed
beyond the widest experience of un-
feathered bipeds For, being " nature
| a little cross-eyed in their toes, they
stepped on their own feet, and got in
their own way, and all the while
cackled and peered at each other foI
being drunk. One old rooster in par.
ticular was a sight for gods and men.
He leaned with limp tail and uncertain
head, in SUCCESSFULLY familiar atti,
tude, against the gate post, blinking his
stupid little eyes, and trying in a maud.
lin way to crow, with but Indifferent
| success.
I'll wager the whole lot got up witt
a headache next morning, and wen
right off to sign pledge. Philadelphia

MOTHER s INFLUENCE

W ho can Overestimate it? For
good or evil it is far reaching. Her
name, the first that falls from the lips
OF the prattling babe, is often the last
whisper of the dying sage. God bless
our mothers, How important then
that they be shielded from those weak
enlng diseases which too often wreck
their constitutions and render them
wearled. fretful invalids. prematurelv
aged and ambitionless. DR.. Pierce's
Favorlte Prescription has done much
to emanclpate woman from this thral-
dom and may be taken by the most
delicate with absolute certainty of
benefit. For nursing mothers and all
debllltated. or run down" women it is
the most effective restorative tonic to
build them up. To those about to be
come mothers 1t Is a priceless boon. 1t
lessons the pains of childbirth. short
ems labor, promotes the secretion of an
abundance Of nourishment for the
child and shortens the period of con
tinement.

Dent Harry the waiter.

The difference between tie BOWery
waiter and the Broadway waiter IS
made manifest in the treatment the Gus
toner receives. y Young Columbian
college man who had his first eXpe-
rience in Il Bowery restaurant the other
evening can testify TO this.
The college man was fauitIessly
dressed and wanted bite to eat in a
hurry. The waiter sized him contempt
uously as dude who was not good Tor
a tip. The young man glanced over
the bill of fare aud the waiter leaned
one hand on the table and crossing his
feet awaited the order care ess y. SUD
denly the young man realizing that he
was in hurry gave lis order;
piece Of apple pie and a cup OF
coffee, and hurry up, please"
The waiter swung slowly around nm
til he stood on his two feet Squareiy and
with a wave of his ham-lii,e right hand
replied
See here young feller I'll cit cher
der pie an IN git cher der coffee, but
I'll be darned ii I'll hurry up. See?'
and with n nod Of the head to empha-
size his remark the waiter moved OF
toward the kitchen slower than a snail
on a tar barrel.-N J. S1u2.

The English have made a law in

woman, who, on being charged with
making way with the cattle. at once
confessed that she had ''devoured" the
animals by putting them under a
spell. Tho owner of them consented
to forgive her, and here the matter

Shortly afterward, lie son Of the
man who had lost the cattle died. and
