The Snee. se.

Many nations are superstitious about sneezing. but none so much so as the native of India. To sneeze on entering a place of business, on starting on a journey, or undertaking any enterprise or adventure means bad luck for some one either physically or financially. On hearing a person, either foreign or ma tive, sneeze in public a Brahman will instantly cry out, Hive, live !' and this cry will be repeated as often as the per
 son sneezes. Among the native soldiers sneezing is especially regarded with su- perstitious terror, the maneuvers of an army sometimes being controlled by an inadvertent sneeze. A rajah at one time turned back his army from the gates of besieged city because one of his foot runners chanoed to sneeze just as he had decided to give the command to attack. A Brahman priest was consulted and a special time appointed by him to renew the siege before it was deemed prOmiS- ing undertaking Buffalo Commercial.
 The Daughter.
 The superior wisdom of the feminine mind is shown in the fact that the mother never rebels against her daugh- ter's guidance. She is the first to dis cover the young woman's wisdom and she enjoys the security and sense of rest which come from feeling that she has some one to depend upon, some one to think and plan for her. She regards it as providential that as the husband of her youth grows careless, as his judg- ment becomes untrustworthy as to de- tails, as he grows inclined to shirk the little questions which arise in the con duct of the household, the daughter quite naturally takes up the neglected duties and assumes the management of the affairs. Of course it is often diff1- | cult for the mother to live up to the course the daughter marks out. She sometimes finds herself deficient in the l strength or wisdom the daughter expects from her. But this is not real trouble, for under it all is the comforting sense of being guided by a strong will, the sense of being free from responsibility for the social and domestic welfare of the family is filling the young woman $ soul with satisfaction, flattering her with the consciousness of her great use- fitness, making her realize her impor- tance in the world.

THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY VOTE.

The DEhOthAlAN thAMAh1 NOAL
Some of our esteemed, but tricky. Re
publican contemporaries down in the
State are straining their shaken nerves
in the effort 10 make a little political
capital out OF what they are pleased 20
call the small vote cast at the Demo-
cratic primary election in Ohio county
last Saturday. This vote was conSid-
erably over 5000 and. considering the
fact that there was no contest at all
for the principal Office. and absolutely
no fight" on hand between any Of the
other candidates. who conducted their
canvass quietly and decently and in per-
feet friendlneSS toward each other,
this vote is decidedly remarkable and.
under the circumstances we have men
toned. proportonately greater than the
vote cast at the Democratic primaries
four years ago. in 1892. which was about
5000. which was brought out by one
Of the hottest contests for the nomina-
ton for Sheriff ever waged in the coun-
". This year there was but one candi-
date for Sheriff. and. of course. no con-
test at all for the office.
In fac. Democrats were agreeably
surprised and Republican politicians
seriously alarmed at the size Of the vote
which came out at the Democratic pri-
mary practically without solicitation.
As We have have said. under these con-
ditionS i, was propOrGOnately greater
than the vote of 1892. when the Dem
ocrals swept all before them, and near
ly as large as the entire Democratic
vote cast al the last election. Our Re
publican friends are welcome to the
consolation they can get out OF these
figures.

RELIGION AND POLITICS.

The ousting of Rev. William \. Cleve
land from his pulpit in the Presbyter-
ian Church of Chaumont, n. Y, by
his Republican congregation for the
sole reason that he is President Cleve-
lands brother and Democrat-for the
Rev. Mr.. Cleveland never gave other
offense by mixing politics in the re-
hottest degree with his sermons-has
caused a split in the congregation of
that Church. 1t was a remarkable
piece of political bigo.ry that was we'll
calculated TO produce such a result.
1t is a potent exemplification of the
extent TO which radical political cranks
are prepared to go. Many influential
and liberal members of Mr.. Cleveland's
congregation have given up their pews
and many more are expected to follow
in a short while. They propose to
erect another chapel and engage Mr..
Cleveland to preach in it. He is con-
sidering a proposition of a committee
of the citizens OF Chaumont to this eff
feet, and the new church will probably
be built-a monument in protest
against un-American political fanati-
cism and intolerance.
Referring to an article in local par
jGsan sheet. which endeavored TO cast
discredit on President Cleveland for
alleged neglect of his brother, the Rev.
Mr.. Cleveland said;
Il am extremely sorry that such an ar
ticle has been published. My brother and
I are on the very best terms. He has re-
peatedly offered me remunerative posi-
tions. but l have thought best to decline
them. Grove is a noble. big-hearted man.
I have never needed financial assistance.
but If ever should I would not hesitate
TO call upon him for aid. He has asked me
10 do so time and time again"
