PAINTER On THE EXCURSION LIST.
Mr.. NJ. d. Painter says he las had fur
ther telegraphic communication WITH
Walter Raymond regarding the use of the
hotel for the accommo odation OF the
guests OF the RAYMOND excursions,
with the result that arrangements are

witness, evidently because be would not
stand aside and allow him (HandeD to
marry Mrs. Barker. He seemed to have
the idea that Mrs. Barekf could marry
HIM if she chose, and he ratner insisted
that she should. This, together with his
half-alive expression and manner, awak-
ened in the mind of the court and spec
tators soemwhat of question as to his
SANITY, but nothing further was adduced
to provo unsoundness of mind. During
the progress of the trial Handel appeared
greatly depressed and i'll at ease.
Handel was placed under $500 bonds to

UNLucKY TO SAVE FROM DROWNING.
Some Queer supers lions of People the
World over.

Some Queer supers lions OF People the
World over.
1t seems strange that swimmers
should be superstitious. yet it is so, nor
is it alone the small boy who sees his
companion sinking into watery grave
without attempting to rescue him,
whether he sank because he was not an
expert and got beyond his depth, or
whether he was seized with cramps It
seems ridiculous to think of, and no
doubt it will save many a superstitious
person from risking his own neck by
being dragged under by the weight and
struggles Of drowning person to know
it is counted unlucky and worse than
madness to try to save the life of a
drowning person or to resuscitate him,
as sooner or later he is bound to do you
some mean turn.
It is another one of those old super
stitions handed down from generation
to generation from our European ances-
tors, and of which no one knows the der
ivation. Traces of it are found among
the Sioux and other tribes Of the Indians
of the west, who seem to have inherited
that belief from their forefatheIs along
with so many other quaint things. They
still believe, and it's a part Of their
creed, that in hunting the body of a
drowned person you can discover its
resting place by floating a chip of cedar
wood, which will stop, even in the
strongest current, and turn around over
the exact spot,
In Great Britain the belief that you
must not rescue a drowning person is
most prevalent in Cornwall and various
parts of Scotland The French sailor
and the boatman of the Danube bow to
the decree, together with the Russians,
and let the people drown.
DR.. Taylor, in his Primitive Cul-
ture, declares this lingering fondness
for this old creed is because the water
spirit is angry at being despoiled of its
victim, and should the unlucky person
who has dared to Illustrate him trust
himself to the waters power he will
drown as sure as fate.
The Bohemian fisherman shrinks
from snatching a drowning man from
the waters, fearing the water demon
will take away his luck in fishing and
drown him before he gets to shore with
the would be victim. In Germany,
when some one is drowned, they say,
"The river spirit claims his yearly sac
rifce, or, The Nix has taken him. "
The belief is current not alone in
those countries above mentioned, but
the Kamchatkans, rather than help a
man out of the water, would force him
under, and if he should escape to the
shore no one would dare receive him !
into his house Or dare to give him food. !
He is supposed to be dead after once
falling into the water,

THE NEW SERVANT.
The Redheaded Girl Is Discouraged Ct
Trying to Teach Her Things.

The Redheaded Girl Is Discouraged 81
Trying to Teach Her Things.
That redheaded girl on Baynes street
lately undertook to teach the art of do
nestle services to a Polish maiden who
had been plucked green in the wilder
ness Of Shumway street. The now girl
was willing. but ignorant oven of the
English language. Instruction had to
be impaired by object lessons. The first
lesson was in lighting the gas. The
kitchen treasure was told by her new
mistress that she was to turn the stop
cock and then apply match to the end
Of the pipe. She seemed to comprehend.
The next day the redheaded girl was
attracted by vile smell issuing from
the kitchen. On investigation the Pol
ish exile was found standing beside the
cold water faucet, patiently lighting
matches and holding them under the
stream of water, which she had turned
ON, only to see them Immediately ex-
tinguished, leaving an odor of charred
wood behind.
In the course Of "a year or two the red
headed girl hopes to be able to impress
ON the Ruthenian mind the fact that all
general principles are subject to modifi-
cation in practice, and particularly that
all iron pipes do not burst into fame
when approached by match Buffalo
Harness.
