THE EVIL EYE.
and How a Coincidence Helped to Rivet
the Chains of Superstition.

end How Coincidence Helped to Rive1
the Chains of Superstition.
Miss Symonds and party of friends
had driven from Athens to the foot of
Hymettus in a carriage drawn by two
horses. The drive being over, the coach
man proceeded to give corn to his
horses. One of them, however, would
not eat, but hung his head and refused
all food. The driver, in state Of wild
excitement, thereupon presented him
self before his fares and declared, with
frenzied words, that one of the ladies
had 'OverlOoked' the suffering horse,
and that the beast. was about to expire
The only way to get it cured from the
effects of the evil eye was for the over
looked to spit upon it, The driver ap-
pears to have had no doubt which lady
was the possessor Of the evil power ex-
ercised upon his animal Naturally
enough, the lady in question had no
great fancy to try this primitive form
OF veterinary surgery and refused.
The mans entreaties and adjurations,
however, became SO vehement and SO
threatening that at last the alleged pos
SCISSOR Of the evil eye had to yield. No
sooner had she spat upon the horse than
most welcome change set in. The
beast, which had appeared to be at it's
last gasp, promptly grew better, and
very soon was eating like it's fellow. Of
course the change was due to coin
cidence. Probably the horse was at first
too tired to eat, but during the discus
sion "to spit or not to spit'' he no doubt
got rested. By the time, then, the cere-
mony was performed he was quite fit
for breakfast. 1t was, in fact, post hoe,
not propter hoe. The splitting and the
recovery following each other SO closely
was a mere coincidence But though
we may hold this view it was of course
not held by the Greek coachman. He,
we may be sure, felt at once completely
confirmed in his belief in the evil eye.
The coincidence gave him what he
thought ample proof of the efficacy of
his charm against overlooking If
nothing had happened, and the English
ladies had been able to laugh at him
for making one of them do disagree
able thing without any result, the driver
might have begun to think that, after
all, his juggling rites were nonsense.
Depend upon it, the coincidence rivet-
ed the chains Of superstition upon him
tighter than ever. After the incident we
have just noticed he will probably be-
lieve as firmly in the evil eye and the
way to counterfeit it's influence as he will
in the procession of the seasons or the
following of day by night.

CHESS ON THE BRAIN.
A Noted Player Who at Times Fancies
Himself a Bishop or Knight

"A Noted Player Who at Times Fancies
Himself Bishop or knight.
A chess champion, a German gentle
man whose name is we'll known to all
players and most nonplayers Of that sci
entitic game, recently told the writer
that the intense mental activity which
it was necessary to display while en-
gagged in combat on the board often
led him to unconsciously do ridiculous
things when the game was over.
For instance,'' he said, cit is not
an uncommon thing for me, when walk
ing home in the evening after several
games Of chess at my club, to imagine
that am one of the pieces on the board.
Quite unconsciously, and probably while
thinking about something else, I will
take great care to plant my feet firmly
in the center Of the fagstones and not
step upon the lines that divide them.
Again, the idea that I am knight will
seize me, and those who walk behind
me are convulsed with laughter to see
me tal e a step forward, and one to one
side, which is not, to say the least of it,
dignified method Of progress.
"Sometimes am a bishop and move
in aslanting direction, till forcible con-
cussion with a wall brings me to my
senses.
ut is very foolish, know, but I can
not help it. I suppose it is that the
game, its chances and possibilities are
SO continually running in my mind that
chess to me isalmost becoming a second
nature.
The elder Roberts once, years ago,
told an interviewer that SO completely
was his mind subjugated By billiards
that he would often lie in bed and won
der if he could make a carom off the
mantelpiece on to the washstand or
''pot' the gas globe out Of the window
with the bedpost. london Answers.

Animals Understand Hygiene.

Enough is now known of the nature
of animal materia medica to excite in
terest and curiosity. There is abundant
evidence that many species know and
constantly make use of simple remedies
for definite disorders, and at the same
time observe rules of health to which
only the highest civilization or the sane
ton of religious prescription compels
man to conform.
1t has been noted that the general
condition of animal health, especially
III the case Of the herbivorous creatures,
corresponds not inexactly with that of
such tribes as the SOmalis, men feeding
almost solely On grain, milk, dates and
water, living constantly in the open air,
moderate in all things and clearly, be-
cause their religion enjoins constant
additions. Like them, wild animals
have no induced diseases. The greater
number do not eat to excess They take
regular exercise in seeking their food
and drink only at fixed hours. Many of
them secure change of climate, one Of
the greatest factors in health, by mi
grafton.
This is not confined to birds and
beasts, for the salmon enters the soft
water partly to get rid of sea parasites
and returns to the sea to recruit after
spawning With change of climate,
change of diet and perfectly healthy
habits their list Of disorders is short,
though they readily fall victims to con-
tagious disease just as recently numbers
of the Hamran Arabs Of the Sudan, as
healthy livers and good Mussulmans as
the Somalis themselves, friends and fell
low hunters with Sir Samuel Baker,
persisted Of contagious fever on the
banks of the Nile tributaries London

A PUZZLED PHILOSOPHER.
Why Should He So Greatly Miss Il
Things That Are Not?

Why Should He So Greatly Miss the
Things That Are Not?
Aphilosopher dwelt in house owned
by Cleon. But one day Cleon came to
the philosopher and said, "Why have
you not sent me the money for last
months rent?'' The philosopher said he
knew OF no reason except that he had no
money, having gotten to the bottom of
his purse.
"You will have to move out" said
CleOn, "tO make room for a cordwainer
[ know who wants this house and has
money"
Would you, then," said the philoso-
pher, turn me out when I am SO COM
Portable here, having dwelt in this house
80 years."
1T is my comfort, said Cleon, land
not yours that consider. -
"Then you prefer cordwainer, I
conclude, to philosopher -
NO." said Cleon; ga landlord has
no preference except to prefer rent mon
ey to no rent money"
So the cordwainer moved into the
philosopher house, and the philosopher
went to live in the mean howell of the
cOrdwainer.
But once there, although contented
enough, because he was philosopher,
yet he could not avoid the obtrusive
facts of the absence Of all those things
which in his former habitation had
grown habitual to him.
This was the first thing that puzzled
him-how that which was not could be
so obtrusive. "What," said he, lean be
SO entirely nonexistent as negation?
And yet here I am confronted with an
obtrusive negation.
Il miss" said he again, "a chest of
drawers, a table, fireplace and the
scenery from the window where used
to sit. wonder if it will be SO after we
are driven out from our bodies because
death, the final, memorable landlord, de-
mands a rental we cannot pay"
In time, however, the philosopher
gradually ceased being oppressed by the
Obtrusive memories and grew accustom-
ed to new associations.
Il wonder,' said he, eff it will be
SO when we are immortals-after death
at first painful regrets for what we have
lost, and in the end nothing of the old
but faint memories and new set of as
sociations. I wonder always and Won
der most if philosophy will ever be any
thing better than clever wondering
about the wonderful. chicago Open

WINE OF THE MORNING.

Some would quaff their nectar
From carven cups of gold,
That like an open flower,
With satin lips unrolled,
Exhales liquid fragrance
Of luxury untold.
Some would quaff their nectar
From Venus poppy lips,
The crimson fount of folly,
Where pulsing passion sips,
In drowsy dreams of sweetness,
Through which time thrills and slips
But I would quaff the nectar
Whose fount is ever free
Pure zephyrs from the mountain,
Salt breezes from the sea,
All fraught with mornings fervor,
And wild wings poetry.
Take all earth's exultation!
It's rosy sweets divine,
It's perfumes and its purple,
It's rare and fair and fine;
The breeze is heaven S brewing,
Gods blessing in his wine.
