Curious superstitions That Prevail
I'm Some Pnrts of Irelnnd.

Curious superstitiOns That Prevail
in Some Parts Of ireland.
w. r. Fanu, a writer on some of the
phases of Irish life, tells of two ways
in which the simple peasantry of that
country treat the whooping cough,
which is generally known among them
as chin cough. One is this: If anyone
should be seen riding on piehald horse
the father or mother of the person af-
fected runs after him, crying: You
that ride the piebald horse, what's good
for the chin cough?" Whatever the
rider suggests is procured, and given
TO the sufferer. This remedy is con-
sidered a very sure cure by the peas
antry, but is difficult to procure, as a
man riding a piebald horse is not met
with every day.
The other mode of curing the disease
is not considered so certain, but can
more easily be procured, that is, pass
ing the child three times over and under
donkey. Some donkeys arc better
than others. remember, saysa Belfast
correspondent Of the Lancet, famous
one in the southwestern part of County
Down. in which the rustics had great
faith, and lie Fanu tells of one in Coun-
ty Cork 80 famous for curative powers
that the owner, Ned Sullivan supported
himself and large family on what this
remarkable donkey earned for him.
This man used to perambulate the city
of Cork. and the surrounding neighbOr-
hood with his donkey, crying out: "Wil
anyone come under my donkey for the
chin cough?'
Two other charms which l have
known to be used in County Down for
this disease-and il is curious that
whooping coughs and erysipelas (tho
rose. as the Irish peasants often call iD
are affections most treated by charms
are the administration to the patient
Of two kinds of foods Csolid and liquid)
obtained from two first cousins who are
married, and soup made from the tails
Of mice. Staying, several years ago
with an uncle and aunt, who were full
cousins, 1 was amused at the parents
of children with the whooping cougf

cles of food for their sick children

Nc,r postnI srstem.

The young postmaster of q village
was hard at work in his Office when
gentle tap was heard upon the door and
in stepped a blushing maiden of 16 with
a money order, which she wished
cashed. She handed It. with a bashful
smile. to the official, who, after closely
examining it, gave her the money 1t
called for. At the same time he asked
her If she had read what was written
on the margin of the order.
NO, have not" she replied, "for 1
cannot make it out. VIII you please
read it for me?"
The young postmaster read as fol-
lows; II send you ten shillings and a
dozen kisses"
Glancing at the bashful girl, he said;
"Now, have paid you the money and
l suppose you want the kisses2"
Yes" she said. ''if he has sent me
any kisses 1 want them, too"
1t is hardly necessary 10 say that the
balance of the order was promptly paid
and in n scientific manner.
On reaching home the delighted
maiden remarked to her mother:

ours is a great thing, developing more

Modern MIIltary naIIooninr.

The status of the military balloon
service of to-day is unquestionably
much higher than the average reader
imagines. and should a war break out
in Europe the balloons would play q
very conspicuous part in IL. In the
Franco-Prussian war the balloon was
employed for strategic purposes, and
NJ. Gambetta's celebrated escape in one
from Paris when the city was surround
ed by Germans offers fair example OF
what could be accomplished with one
in an emergency; but in those expert
mental stages of the service the fun
value of the new war machine could
not be gauged. The use to which the
balloon was then put had little in com
mon with the purposes for which the
modern military balloon is constructed.
The balloon spy win. Of course. hover
over the scene Of battle in the future,
but he will accomplish so many more
important things that this wiz seem
small and insignificant.--George Ethel
bert Walsh, in Chautauquan.

JAY COULD'S ESTATE
Decision Of the Appellate Court
In the Matter.
GEORGE COULD'S PAY FOR SERVICES
Allowed by the Court - Appraisement
of ss3.OOo.oo0 by the Surrogate
Amrmed-Judge Ingraham
Alone DIssents.

New York, July S-The appellate di-
vision Of the supreme court has af-
firmed the order OF the surrogate APP
praising the estate Of Jay Gould at
about $4,000, 600 and also affirmed the
order OF the surrogate deducting the
legacy Of George J. Gould (S5,00O,000)
and the expenses Of administration In
arriving at the value Of the property
for purposes Of taxation.
The opinion, which was written by
Judge Williams, was concurred In by
Judges Van Brunt, Rumsey and Pat
terson. Judge 1ngraham dissented and
gave his views for so doing.
Judge Williams stated that in admin
istering the estate debts. commission
and expenses Of administration should
be deducted in ascertaining taxable val
ues and that this accords with the gem
eral practice and is permitted by just
construction of the law.
Claims That the Legacy Was Gift.
The comptroller did not dispute this.
but insisted that the legacy of $1,000, 600
was not given in payment OF any legal
debt but was a gift or gratuity from
the late Jay Gould and liable as such
to taxation.
Judge williams did not think that the
admission of George J. Gould on this
point was improperly received because
he was an Interested person. as II was
not a proceeding of a witness against
the estate to establish a claim, but a
proceeding TO ascertain the value OF
property for the purpose Of taxation
and consequently permissible.
Judge Williams held that the deoedeni
intended to pay his son for 10 years OF
labor at the rate of S5OO.OOO a year. and
this was clearly a debt that could bs
enforced against the estate.
Concluding his opinion. Judge Will
liams stated that the expenses of ad
mlnistration were properly deducted
$751; 900 already having been expended
and $4,000 would be expended.
In his dissenting opinion, Judge In
graham said that the 100000 was NOR
of the nature of a gratuity or gift thar
the payment Of debt and should b
taxed. He also found fault with the wa
the securities were appraised and SAT-
in his opinion a fair market value wa
not received by the appraisers, and II
many Instances he considered the ap
praisal excessive.
Judge Ingraham suggested that tn
whole matter be sent back TO the sur
rogate for reappraisement.
