yoo,loo Worship.

A writer in Chambers journal states
that tho belief in obj, or, ms the followers
of this feiichism call themselves, oheah, Is
as rife among the negroes OF the west In
dies US ever. Though the negro In the
Antilles L. removed many generations
from the original African, 1t seems that
obeah cannot be eradicated. In former
davs there was such constant use OF poi
son hy those who were of the oheah that
the English government in Jamaica did
its best to suppress Il, but its praa ices
were not discontinued, only concealed.
Obcah l. puro fetichSm, and the rites are
at their revolving climax In Dahomey. In
Sierra Leone all the old customs and su-
perstitions, despite English influence
hold the natives fast. Voodoo worship still
existing among the Louisiana natives, IN
the obeah. only with another name, and
even the white man will put faith In an
absurd rabbit foot. There is with negro
conservatism dread Of the man or woman
who can work obeah. When the colored
race has been left 10 itself, las In Haiti,
yoodoo worship flourisbcs 1t Is by no
means harmless belief because the obeah
bag Is skilled In the making OF poisops
and lives by the sale of them. II the poison

Size Of Planetary Inhabitants.

1t Is quite natural for the human mind,
which associates all thoughts and makes
oil comparisons 10y earthly standards, to
think of the Inhabitants of some OF the
monster worlds which are known to be
whirling through space as being giants OF
the most gigantic kinds Take the star
Arcturus as an Illustration. That gigantic
planet is 2, 900, 900 miles in circumference,
or about CSC, 900 miles straight through
from pole to pole OF from equator to equa-
tor. Our little world is pnly 5000 miles
in diameter, Or 1000 in circumference
in fact, II il such mere pygmy compared
with Arcturus that 1t might fall into one
of that planets great lakes, whether they
be water or burning seas OF gas, and bury
Itself out of sight. We are apt to think
of these planets as being inhabited, how
ever much the chances may be against
such an assumption, and to compare such
supposed persons to the size of the world
upon which they live. II Arcturus Is In
habited aud its people are built on the
same ratio that we are, an average Arctu-
rian cannot fall much short of being IL
miles In height.-St. Louis Republic.

tainly true in many cases, and I made
some rather startling discoveries regard
ing this important subject and found that
many common uses had become general
abuses. For example, the old rule of thor
oughly brushing the hair before retiring
each night does strengthen the roots, and
while IL is good rule for some II Is n bad
rule fof others. il certainly darkens all
hair naterlally--due, OF course, 10 the fact

so as not to tear it. Your brush In largely
responsible for this, however; so use u

gether. The French are undoubtedly high

spoke briefly on the subject OF his we'll

Hon. Il. Ii. Dunstan was then called
for, and was given an en- iusiastic recep-

Sunday, and it made him very tired, not
referring to the three reverend gentlemen
who were seated by him and their preach

preached and to find so little practical
work done by those same preachers. He

that they had the shaping OF political
events in their own hands, and to attend
the primaries.
