TEAR OFF THE MASK
Danish Superstition and Become an
Anaconda HoodOo.
CORRECT THE BLACK EVIL
Luck and Fate Are Not Factors in
the Success OF MankInd-R Rely
on Management and Make
Your Broad Mark.

Reports of the proceedings of the Hoo
doc society have appeared in the Stand
ara from time to time and have been
widely copied throughout the state and
the world generally. The object of this
society has been given in former reports
or their proceedings, but for the benefit
OF those who are not already familiar
with II, 1t is again explained as IL is
given In their articles of constitution as
follows:
The principal object of this society is
to correct the many evils resulting from
superstitous beliefs which cause persons
TO act in accordance with signs or omens
contrary to their better Judgment; and to
exemplify by words and actions that such
beliefs are mythical, emanating from the
ignorant and uncivilzed, and that mans
success or failure in life is due to his
own management, and that luck. fate and
providence are not factors"
There has been a great amount of inter-
est manifested in the city in the proceed
ings OF the Hoodoo society, and the sue
cess or such an organization is assured
from the start. Owing to the fact that ap-
plcations for charters have been received
from seven different states 1t has become
necessary to organize a supreme lodge to
enable this lodge to grant same, and indi-
cations are that the society will rank
among the foremost secret orders of the
world.
At a recent meeting of the delegates to
the supreme lodge the following officers
were elected: Supreme lord high sover-
eign, l.. j. Pierce; supreme lord high
prince, g. s. E. Wisner: past supreme
lord high sovereign, j. II. Mahan; SUI
preme lord high priest. j. Nat Londoner;

The stout Man Carried His Point and

From the New York Tribune.
c. lives near New York and comes to
the city every day on the morning
train. He is a large man, tall and rIld-
dy, and looks the picture of health. but
he is likely to take cold upon slight
provocation, and has a well-founded
fear OF draughts. The other day, the
seat In front of him was occupied by
a fresh-aired fiend. who opened the
window with a jerk the moment the
train left the station. AS there was a
strong wind c. suffered at once and
after few moments he leaned for
ward, exclaimed to the stranger that
the draught incommoded him greatly
and asked him politely If he would not
close the window
mo, sir. won'tw snapped the 9TH
err TITS my window and I believe in
fresh air."
c. looked around the car. There was
no other seat in view, so he turned
up his coat collar and resigned him
self to catching cold. The man in front.
meanwhile, found the draught really
too much even for him, but, determined
not to acknowledge 1t, moved along his
seat until he occupied that half of II
nearest the aisle, thus leaving the
space by the window open, so that the
whole force of the wind blew straight
upon c.
c., freezing outwardly, rose to boil
ing point within. In the heat of his
anger an idea was born within him.
Rising silently to his height of six feet,
he stepped quickly over the back of the
seat into the vacant place between the
stranger and the window, and sat
down in 1t. This vancouver accom-
plished, he said politely: You will ex-
cuse me II 1 close my window" And
down II came to the accompaniment of
subdued chuckle from the rest of the
passengers AS 1t was clearly C.'s seat
now, and therefore C.s window there
was no protest possible and the rest of
the journey was accomplished in COM
fort to everybody but the outwitted |
apostle of ventilation.

They tell story Of an unfortunate So
ciety woman. who, being terribly pushed
for a gown to wear at a great occasion.
sold seven gowns for the price Of one to
Mime. x. Among these gowns was one
hardly rumpled, and which. though
very magnificent. had evidently been
worn at most only once. This dress
Mime. x. sold as model to Mime. Y,
who was the society woman's dress
maker, and who had been obdurate
about making another thing for the poor
little woman without cash down.
When this model" came in, she
saw a chance for big return Of money,
so she compromised with her customer
and agreed to let her have model dress,
just imported, for very low figure.
Whereat the poor woman paid all the
money she had received for all her
dresses, and out Nine. Y. brought the
model. The poor woman talked herself
blue in the face, but she could not say
anything to protect herself without be-
traying her dealing with Mime. K, SO,
poor thing, she danced in her old frock
after all, having snapped all her other
gowns for the privilege. Cincinnati

Actors Like to Play in Com pany that
Utilities the Animate.
There is an old theatrical supersti-
ton that horses are very lucky to have
In a play. and theatrical superstitions,
like all others, die hard. There are one
or two leading London managers who,
IL they were to reveal their Utmost
thoughts. believe in this superstition,
pnd to this very day. Cut the cacKie
and come to the 'osses," was the favor
lite maxim of the celebrated Ducrow,
md he had good cause to believe In
''osses,' for they made him one of the
most prominent men of his time.
| Sir Augustus Harris is a firm believer
| in the horse theory, for there has not
been a recent successful Drury Lane
drama in which horse has not APP
tpared, while great many OF "hem
lave owed their success in great
measure to the Introduction OF the
equine. In the present drama running
at Drury Lane Is represented for the
first time in the history Of the stage a
polo match with trained ponies, that
have often played in matches on the
actual ground at birmingham, in the
mimic representation of which, on the
stage, they appear every night.
Sir Augustus Harris tells good
story Of one Of these ponies, beautiful
little gray, formerly the property of
Sir George Scott. During one Of the re-
hearsals the ponies were brought down
near the footlights that they might get
accustomed to the glare and so not get
frightened during the performance at
night. 1t SO happened that one of the
dummy horses that are used in the bat
tie scene-the Last Stand-waS lying on
the stage. The little gray pony caught
sight of it, and struggled until he got
over to where it lay. He shifted and
shifted at it for some minutes and
seemed to be very much puzzled; final
ly, to the great amusement of every
body on the stage, he made vicious
bite at the dummy's ear, which, not
being very firmly attached. came off.
The pony stood still for minute with
a strange, frightened look in his eyes,
and then took to his heels UP the stage.
For weeks afterward 1t was impossible
to get the pony to come down anywhere
near the footlights.
The largest theatrical stables in the
world are those kept by a horseman
near Drury Lane Theater. Here one
often sees more than 100 horses that are
being used for various theatrical pur-
poses. From these stables horses are
sent all over England with touring
companies. Often there will be as
many as 200 horses travelling in various
parts Of the country from this estab-
lishment alone.-BOstOn Traveller.

More people use Hebrew as Ian
guage of literature than spoke it when
Moses led his people through the Red
sea. In recent years a regular Hebrew
literature has sprung up among eastern
Jews. Goethe, Schiller, Shakespeare
and other classics have been translated.
Original Hebrew literature is also note
worthy and translations are being made
into European languages. Thus the
Hebrew novels of Mapu, especially his
"Tharnar, have been issued in Euro
pean dress. Papers and magazines in
Hebrew in great number are published,
largely in the interests of the Zionite
movement Such journals as the weekly
Hamagid of st. Petersburg have an in
teruational reputation. In Russia the
Jews publish two Hebrew dailies, while
the weeklies and monthlies are counted
by the dozen.-Literary Digest.

CARVED IN THE BARK.
A CIump of Trees Upon Which Appeared
the Names of Many Soldiers.

Ciump OF Trees Upon which appeared
the Names of Many Soldiers.
"I don't quite understand, and I new
er could" said an observer, what
prompts people to write their names in
public places. Trees have always been
favorite objects upon which to carve
names, and the smooth bark Of the
beech offers q field most inviting to the
knife of the carver. l saw once bunch
Of beech trees upon which thousands Of
names had been cut. This was in Vir-
ginia, close by the left bank Of the
James river. A ravine made back from
the river, and at the head of this ravine
there was a spring. Around the spring
was this clump of beech trees.
1.-The names carved on these trees
were those Of soldiers who had been en-
ramped thereabout in the time of the
civil war and who had come to this
spring for water. 1t was in 1879 that l
saw them. SO that they must have been
there then at least IA years. They had
probably been there longer. About a
third of the names were still legible.
Many of them were the names Of men
of Pennsylvania regiments. Those that
had become illegible were mainly those
that had been carved OH smaller trees.
''There was one big tree that had up
ON it, should think. 500 names. They
encircled it for 90 feet up from the
ground. 1t seemed as if some Of those
among the highest must have been cut
by men who swung down from the first
branch, and one could imagine that
men stood ON one another's shoulders to
reach above the names already carved
by men standing ON the ground. or that
perhaps there was led up beside the
tree horse upon whose back the carver
stood.
"These names may have been carved.
every one of them, simply as pastime,
and yet it seemed somehow as though
this was case in which the carving
might have been done in something
more than merely idle spirit. New

CHINESE SNAKE STONE.
Curious Oriental Product Which Is Said to
Cure Poisonous Bites.

Cure Poisonous Bites.
Ben r. Spradley, attache of the st.
Louis sanitarium, at 1886 South Grand
avenue, has in his possession one of the
most curious and what he asserts to be
one Of the most useful and valuable of
articles. It is what is known as Chi
nese snake stone, and there is said to be
but one other in the country. Indeed
the one in Mr.. Spradley's possession is
but half a one, the original having been
cut in two by Mr.. Spradley and half Of
it given to friend. In appearance the
stone looks like a small piece of Oblong
shaped camel coal and is about one
eighth Of an inch in thickness, three
eighths Of al inch wide and half an
inch long. 1t is as light in weight as a
piece Of cork, possesses a polished sur
face and can be easily cut with knife.
1t is not stone, in the proper sense of
the word, but is a manufactured article
and is Of a porous texture.
To cure snake bites or poisonous
wounds of a similar nature with the
"stone" the wound must first be scarf
fed Then the stone is applied to the
wound. Each morning and evening it
is taken off and put into g lass of luke
warm water to remain few moments
until it discharges the poison 1t has alb
sorbed. Then, after the wound has been
washed in a strong solution of salt wa
Ter and again scarifed, the stone, which
in the meantime has been rubbed i'll
warm ashes until dry, is again applied.
If this treatment is kept up for nine
days and the patient abstains during
that time from spirituous liquors cure
is assured.
II secured the stone," said Mr.. Sprad
ley, 'from my father more than 80 years
ago. He got it from James j. Parker,
the man who made it. From 1874 to
1877 was with the party which was put
ting through the Texas Pacific railroad,
and during that time cured several Of
the party who were bitten by rattlers
and other poisonous snakes. | have fire.
quently loaned the stone to friends, and
/ cut the original in two, giving half of
IL to a particular friend of mine. | have
not used the stone for some time, but
am ready to give test Of its merits at
any time.
1T is, you see, not properly stone,
but is a manufactured substance Of a por
Gus nature The theory possessed by
many that so called 'madstones' are
found in the stomachs of animals is all
nonsense. They are all manufactured in
a manner similar to this, and it is sim
ply their drawing powers and their
porousness and consequent capacity for
absorption that renders them valuable. !"
