Bedia, the correspondent and the two
others stood by La Borde. Six men, who
were to bring the schooner to this port,

liberal party in Cuba, is reported to be
in trouble and threatened with suspen-
sion. They have cabled the liberal party

Soul SuperstitIons.

The Greeks had pretty fancy about
the soul and the butterfly, and so have
the Basques, and that the two were in
Interchangeable. Among the cannibals
living east of the Gaboon river Mr.. h.
l.. Garner has collected neat lot Of
folklore about the butterfly. AS Eng
lished from their pigeon talk it runs as
follows: In the old tiIne there was u
good and bad divinity, Case and
Hull. Case was master of all the beau
tiful things, AS the flowers and birds.
Hull held the serpents and creeping
things under his sway. There was u
caterpillar, a servant of Hulu's, whose
duty it was to devour the flowers. Once
he crawled up tree, and, seeing u
flower, began to eat it. stop" said
Case, "why destroy that flower? If you
will let it grow it will be fine fruit. "
But the caterpillar answered, Il must
do my master Hulu's bidding" Then
Case said: "Nibble only the leaves !;
they ought to suffice you. and if you
will be satisfied with the leaves, when
your little ones are born you may put
them in the fruit, which is certain to
grow, if you do not harm the flower. "
And the caterpillar agreed to that,
and only munched the leaves, and the
flower grew and grew, and in time was
a fine, large fruit. In those days cater
pillars always crept, and never changed
their shape But Hull was good; SO
when the eggs, which were laid in the
fruit, became caterpillars, they took on
wings and flew and flew. but they We're
not handsome as they are today. Hull
was the sun, so he shot rays of light on
the butterhy's wings, and they We're
decked with his brilliant colors and
some with spots. Ingenious folklorists
will see once more i'll this the sun myth.
Following the general anthropological
rule, Mr.. Garner says that these canni-
balls We're very much superior in ply
