Luck in Vegetables.

Here are some old-fashioned super
stitions about lucky and unlucky veg
etables. A pea pod with nine peas is
equal to a wish bone when placed
above the door. 1t is accounted gen.
orally lucky to find nine peas in a
pod. In Germany it is believed that
peas must be sown early on Wednes-
day or Thursday, or the birds will
carry them off. II they are fed to
hens it is said the fowls will lay well.
They must not, however, be eaten
during the Christmas holidays, nor
until after the twelfth day.
The Romans used beans in relig-
iouS ceremonies They were used in
Greece as ballots, and .Pythagoras de.
sired his disciples not to 'Iove beans'
that is not to interfere with poll
tics The phrase you don't know

prevalent during the 6Ourishing OF

TO Benefit His victim.

Kindness to animaIS-although
there are unhappily plenty of excep-
lions To warrant the existence of
1.-The Society with the Long Name"
for their protecLion-has always been
the rule in this country; butincreased
public sentiment in their behalf has
brought with il increased sensitive
ness and sympa ny for even such ills
as we admit oGr dumb friends must
necessarily undergo. We wear furs
and we eat meat, but we do not wish
to see the victims of either taste
slaughtered, and we should think it
still more shocking to allow children
to do so as an amusement
In old times the best people were
less particular. 1t was the custom
not only for the children of farmers,
but of lawyers, 10 nSters and country
magnates of all nds to look for
ward .oyously to the k Hing of the
domestic pig as an interesting and
thrilling OCCASION: and they met with
no encouragement from their elders
to do so.
A story, told of the children of one
of the most honored ministers of old
New bury port, leads TO the conclusion
that it was possibly the treatment
which children themselves received
in the day of rod and ferule which
rendered them less sensitive to pain
Inflicted upon dumb animals.
Two children of the minister in
question were looking on at pig
killing. They were lively youngsters,
whose pran Ks had frequently earned
them a sharp application of The rod,
inflicted with the customary as
surance that they were whipped for
their good, not for the satisfaction of
parental anger.
AS the alarmed pig resisted the eff
forts of his execut oners, squealing
shrilly, the youngest child was moved
to pity and began to cry. The other,
greatly interested, but not unmerci-
full, essayed to comfort her.
Don't cry" he said, soothingly,
without turning away his eyes.

Found IA re.rIned Egg.

Quite a curiosity is on exhibition at
the cigar stand OF Dawson x Burch,
on Cedar street. says the Nashville
American. If the curiosity is not a
petrif1ed egg, then nature can give
the fowl creation cards and spards in
the art of egg manufacture. The
freak is of perfect oval shape, with
both ends very smoothly clipped of.
A farmer living on Paradise Ridge
picked it up in a field one day and
started to throw it, when its I'M
usual weight attracted his attention.
STOPPING, he picked up a rock and
struck the peculiar object a sharp
blow near the middle. The interior
shell cracked and three pieces shelled
off, revealing about half of a per-
fectly rounded object nestled away in
the remaining portals Of the shell
The under sphere is Of pinkish hue.
and is very granular in its compost
tion something like sandstone. The
first thing a rersOn would think of on
beholding it would be the yellow Of
an egg, and the more he looked the
more thoroughly he would become
convinced that that was what it was.
The concave portion of the broken
shell fits back perfectly about the
interior sphere. The shells exterior
is also granular, though perfectly
uniform. 1t is about one-quarJer of
an inch thick and Immediately be-
meath the granular exterior is OF
drab color, resem bling very much in
composition lava or phosphoric rock.
A close inspection of the broken
edges or the shell shows very thin
exterior shell of about the thickness
of an egg shell. In fact, the entire
effect produced is the same as that
obtained by taking bard boiled ben
egg and cracking the shell, part
section of it with the white adhering
to it, from the yellow, leaving the
sphere nestled in the remaining por-
ton of the she'll The petriffed egg
that is undoubtedly what the freak
is -weighs about half pound and is
about the size of large goose egg,
perhaps larger.

Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the
