In the notices Of the candidates on the Re-
publican aldermanic ticket mention is made
OF the length of time the several gentlemen
nave resided in the various wards There is
one exception to this, however, and that is in
the write up Of w. j. Donahower, who is
running for alderman in the Fourth ward
Ihe TACT that Mr.. Donahower has only lived
in the ward twenty-one days may be the rea-
son that deal of stress is put on his being
"a good fellow" without saying anything
about his length of residence in the ward
which he Is so desirous of representing in
the council. 4
Tom Brady and other ante-room buzzers Of
the Republican auxiliary committee have now
so far abandoned their disguise that they are
boasting the defense of the illegal proceed
ings of which they have been guilty will not
cost them cent. The Republican campaign
committee will now take care of the case
say Brady ct al. Everybody surmised that
such would be the case, from the first day
the dirty deal was attempted. Therefore no
one was surprised yesterday when the above
declaration began to be noised about. Strange
as 1t may seem, the schemers do not evince
the slightest fear of the law or its possible
prnishments. Their sole anxiety seems to
be to keep thir ticket on the ballot.

The Greatest of Rivers.

The Amazon is the king of streams.
From first to last it receives over l, 200
tributaries, of which more than 100 are
large sized rivers and rise so far apart
and have their floods and GIBBS at such
different seasons that the Amazon is at
about the same height the year around.
At some points on its lower courso one
bank is invisible from the other The
beholder seems TO be looking on great
yellow sea of fresh water When discov-
cred, some tribes of Indians on the low
er portion knew nothing Of the existence
OF the opposite shore and did not believe
that it existed, saying that 1.-The great
river flowed all around the world" It's
mouth, Including that of the Para, is
$50 miles iii width, and it is navigable
for large sized ocean steamers for /, 600
miles from the sea, and so vast is the
flood that the ocean is tinged yellow for
400 miles from the coast of Brazil. st.

CALLING THE STATIONS.
Little Mistakes That Sometimes OCCUR In
Their Frequent RepetitIon.

Occasionally, said a man, zone
hears guard on tho elevated road call
the next station back instead of the one
ahead. Coming down on the Sixth ave-
nue. road, For instance, he might, on
leaving Grand street, look in and say,
Tho next station is Bleecker street, ,
when he meant Franklin. Still, this is
rarely done, not nearly so often as one
might think it would be, by men call
ing the stations over and over again all
day long. To be sure it might seem that
the names would be by frequent repeti-
ton 80 deeply craven on their memory
that there would be the less danger Of
calling them wrong, but what I sup
pose happens is this-that sometimes
the mind unconsciously switches over,
and the guard calls from the up list in
stead of the down, or vice versa.
Sometimes when guard miscalls q
station he let's it go-perhaps he doesn t
think Of it himself. Sometimes he cor
reefs in q mild tone of voice, as though
the least said about it the better. Some
times he sets it straight clearly and I'M
mistakably. 1 rode up town the other
with guard who, as the train left For
ty-second street, looked in and said,
'Fiftieth next, Fifty eighth street train,
change there for Harlem But the next
minute he looked in again and said,
with equal if not greater distinction and
elaboration, 'Fiftieth next, Harlem
train, change there for Fifty-eighth
street.
Here was a case that was q little
different: A newsman who got off a
Sixth avenue train with bundle of pa
pers at Fifty-third street handed pa
per to the guard and asked him to give
it to the ticket chopper at Ono Hundred
and Thirty street. The guard look
ed into the car as the train started and
said, Hundred and Thirty fifth street
next but this was so far off that it
really needed no correction, and very
reasonably the guard let it 90 at'that,
but he smiled as he closed the door. -

How Jolly Jack Tar Used to Look Upon

the Days of the Week.
The old superstition rs to lucky and
unlucky days has largely passed away.
Foreign mails start and arrive on Fri
days without any regard for beliefs
which were at one time accepted as be-
You'd argument by most sailors. Some
thought otherwise, as will later appear.
Generally speaking, all saints days and
church holidays were regarded as I'M
lucky, and certain days in each month
were rather distrusted In an old alma
nae Of 1915 we find that July 10, 90, pa
and 81 were noted as 'no good anchor
age" Sunday was always looked upon
as lucky, presumably in reliance OH the
maxim, "The better the day the better
the deed. and tho fact of our Lords
resurrection having taken place on that
day.
Monday had no particular reputation
for good or evil. Tuesday was the same,
except among Spaniards, who said,
Don't marry or go to sea or leave your
wife on that day" Wednesday was the
day Of Odin, the Morse god, and lucky.
Thursday was named after Thor, the
Morse god of war, and was suspicious.
Friday was the day dedicated to Freya,
Morse goddess of love, and having refer
ence to women was not liked OH this
ground. The true reason for avoiding
Friday was, of course, the fact of the
crucifixion having taken place ON that
day, and sentiments of special venera-
tion for the day became converted into
a feeling Of fear for the results which
would follow its violation. The Span
iards, on the other hand, had @ consid
cradle veneration for Friday and be-
lieved that some occult influence enabled
Columbus to successfully clear out of
port and discover new land on that day
Saturday was generally considered aus
picious.
The origin Of the phrase, "a capful
of wind" can be traced to Morse king,
Eric vi, who died in 907 A. d. He was
credited with the useful power of direct
ing the wind to blow where he wished by
the simple method of turning his cap to
that point Of the compass. His powers
were much appreciated and trusted and
resulted in his being known as windy
cap There is no evidence as to wheth
or he could regulate the force of the
wind as we'll as the direction presuma-
bly, he could, or his faithful believers
would not have been so many. a "bag.
full Of wind" is another common ex
preston and indicates something like ;
gale. This has been traced down to tins
classical legend Of Eolus and his captiv,
winds confined in bags London Nan
tical Magazine.
