A Queer Rainbow Superstition.

The Kurds and Armenians, whose
many folklore stories and tales Of
superstitious fancies far exceed those
Of the gypsies, have some rainbow
beliefs which are perhaps not dupli-
Gated In the popular notions Of any
others among the races Of mankind.
They hoot at the idea of Its being a
witness to Gods covenant with man
that the earth will no more undergo
the ordeal Of food and declare that
1t was made for the express purpose
of letting the first man and woman
down from heaven, the man securely
fastened to one end Of the great va.
riegated band, the woman at the
other. The end Of time, according
to the Kurds, will be ushered in by
the appearance Of four ralnbows,
which will cross at the zenith, fur
nishing eight passageways for God
and his hosts. st. Louis Republic.

Tho Law Against Profanity.

An act Of parliament that was
passed In the reign Of George II for
the suppression Of profanity Is still
occasionally brought into force.
Under it the Wisbech magistrates
have just convicted a man named
Abraham Pye Of Walpole, who was
charged with publicly using four pro-
fame oaths, for which he had rendered
himself liable to penalty Of 4 shil-
hngs, being / shilling for each oath.
The defendant admitted his guilt, and
at the request Of the chairman the
clerk explained the provisions Of the
act, which imposes q penalty Of !
shilling per oath when uttered by q
laborer, 3 shillings when the offender
is above laborer and under the de-
gree of gentleman, and shillings
when spoken by any one above the
degree of q gentleman
It was also explained that the con-
sequences are the same whether the
oaths are uttered by person on his
own premises or in the public streets
The bench fined the defendant shil-
lings and IS shiilings costs, and init
mated that they intended to suppress
the use Of bad language In the public
streets as far as they possibly could.

Ono Couplo Made Miserable.


When through New York express on
tho Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad pulled into Binghamton the other
day, u party of young men and women
hustled into one Of the cars With young
couple who were going away. They stood
around and chartered all sorts of wishes
that the departing couple might have q
good time until the passengers made up
their minds that there had been wedding
and this was the bridal couple starting
out for the honeymoon journey. When the
conductor shouted IAN aboard!n the
friends of tho young couple ran for the
car door and began to get of the train.
A young woman was the last to leave the
car. just ns she reached the door she call
cd out In tone Of pleasant assurances:
lyon don't look a bit like a bride and
groom.
Then she fed The other passengers
smiled and the young couple looked acute
~, miserably self conscious, The girl
blushed clear around to the back OF her
neck, and the young man stared out Of the
window and drummed on the pane. For q
long time after the train started they had
not WORD to say to each other.
Now, the joke of it was they were net
bride and groom. At Scranton the young
