Women ON shiphonrh.

A current newspaper calls attention
TO the old superstition among sailors
that women on board ship bring i'll
luck. In the days when sailing ves-
sells were more numerous, 1t says, aud
Jack had wider opportunity to select
among the floating homes one that
most nearly conceded with his ideas
of comfort and safety, he was apt to
shun those whose captains shared the
glories and comforts of the after cabin
with n better half
Nowadays steam has made the
opinions of sailors Of as little account
rs sailors themselves are, but the
prejudice survives are, but the preiu-
dice survives in the minds of the few
old salts that have not fallen to the
rank of coal shovelers and cleaners of
paint.
To the superficial observer this oh
lection to the presence of women mt sea.
made by class of men who. when
ashore, are far from showing indiff,r-
ence to feminine charms, would seem
to be II particularly absurd and unrea-
sonable piece Of nonsense, but the
Coast Seamen's Journal, which is o
paper not given to the fostering Of mys-
ticism, says that there is more than
superstitution in the old belief.
Close attention TO happenings on
the ocean, it declares, will prove to
any one that women do bring i'll luck
on shipboard, not, of course, through
any dark working of the supernatural
powers, but by increasing the natural
severity of captains, aud by their read
mess to give evidence in behalf Of their
husbands against which, in court OF
law, the word of maltreated mate or
sailor Is not apt TO be of any effect.
A surprising number of modern in
stances are given in which sea TRACE
dies of one sort or another have oc.
Cured on ships that had the captain S
wife on board.
Tue Coast Seamen's Journal does
not suggest the advisabilily of a har,l
and fast law forbidding such compan.
ionships in the merchant marine, but
i says that real evils frequently resuli
from them aud intimates that the only
remedy is an extension of the privilege
now enjoyed by commanders to minor
officers, and possibly to the men.
The idea, apparently, is that there
is safety in numbers, view not to be
dismissed rs altogether fanciful. At

the spring and summer, its graceful
green adds an indescribably delicate
touch TO the woodlands, and in autumn
the rich red of its leaves makes splendid
patches among the evergreen trees, or

Rhus is but an insignificant shrub,

oak resembles the poison ivy, Rhus

/ Many cases-of severe poisoning occur
where there is no exposure to the plant
other than sitting by the open window

ately, however, these are the excep-
tional instances, and ordinarily if one
avoids touching the foliage, the danger
is averted. The stockman and farmer
probably suffer the greatest annoyance
from poison oak. The worst cases
come passing to leeward of fire in
which 1T is burning, and grubbing out
range or clearing off n foothill farm
necessitates this means of Kidding the
ground of brush. The hired man who
can handle poison oak with impunity
has an added value to the farmer who
suffers from the contact with this vexa-
tious bush. The antidotes recon-
mended are many but are well-nigh
useless. a few simple remedies, like
the application of salt, soda and fire.

lied upon to modify the itching and
swelling of the parts affected, but the
sufferer, if he be no novice, is perfectly
certain that an affection of poison oak,
like other diseases, must run it's course.

Hoods Pills easy to to s ssss easy to buy
They DO Not Mind the Pennies.

Experience has made the men of the
fruit stands overcautious in handling
coin above the size of ten cent piece.
The larger pieces they will test upon
the payment or sink their teeth into
in a tentative fashion. 1t is noticed,
however, that whenever customer
makes penny purchase they pocket
his change without scanning it-al-
most hastily indeed. There is deep
reason for this procedure.
For one thing, nobody counterfeits
the cent piece it is too cheap For
another thing, the fruit dealer knows
that no coin of smaller denomination
is passing into his hands. For third
thing, and this is the most important,
there is always chance that Gus =
toner is deceived himself and is hand
ling over a nickel, n dime or one of
the minor gold pieces, under the i'm
preston that he is paying but pen
ny. If be looks satisfied and starts to
go away, he is not likely to be called
back to get the change. Occasionally
some such involuntary windfall comes
the way of the fruit man.

Manuring in the mili.

1t is only concentrated manures that
can be proftably used in the hill.
whenever stable or barnyard manure
is used in this way it aids in driving
the soil above, aud thus often does
most harm just At the most critical
period of growth. The roots of all
hoed crops will more certainly reach
the manure if placed between the rows
that If the seed has been planted
directly over it. Both corn and pota-
toes, especially the former, bend their
leaves so as to turn the water that
falls in rains to the middle of the rows.
Scarcely any water except in heavy
rains with driving winds can reach the
hill whence the stalks grow.

the propelling power used in carrying
passengers to and from the top of the
Hochstauffen mountain, at Bad Rich

IN the Austrian Alps. The plan is
known as the aerostatic railroad, and
liz the invention Of Engineer Valde-
rauer. The power by which this en-
tranciug mountain top is now to be
reached by visitors is furnished by a
captive balloon, which runs along a
track built at the side of the roadbed
"a trailer, furnished with many
wheels, clasping this wooden rail, and
to this trailer the passenger car being
fastened. The operator mas seat ia
the car, and cord swings between
his place and the balloon, by which
the gas supply is regulated; he has
also several brakes and safety valves
Mt hand in case of accident. At the
foot of this unique railroad is n gas
tank and a generator. gas being made
here to illuminate the town, and also
for the purpose of filling the balloon.
A charge sufficient to carry the car to
the top OF the mountain is given it mt
the start, and when the grade has
been mounted. and all il ready for the
return down the mountain, small
quantity of gas is released, and the
car starts down

When Is n Woman Oide

When Is n Woman Old?
This query on my mirror hung:
when Is n woman old?"
1t clings to me and long has chung,
The answer must be told.
All. some are old before half way.
And some are never old,
For these but laugh LIES care away,
While those both fret and scold.
And yet it is no easy task,
However well controlled.
To answer one, IL she should ask,
when is a woman old?"
The graceful ones are all still young,
And those alone are told
Who try to make themselves look young
When age has taken hold.
The oldest ones OF all the old
Are those who would look young,
For they will always fret and scold
When ages sign is hung.
As long rs women cling to youth
And disregard their age
They never can be old. forsooth,
Their youth fills up the page.
Yes, some are old before their time
Old age usurps their youth
And some are young beyond their primo
Unless they hide the truth.

Racing Boats

In the opinion of an old rowing man
there is no doubt that the trick of
building wooden shells is better uu-
ierstood ia England THAI IA America.
Yale has rowed in paper boats for
many years, aud has found them sat
isfactory in model, stiffness and weight
Experts do not believe that between a
tirst-class cedar and good paper shell
there is enough difference in speed in
n four mile race TO make the question
worth much expense or worry. The
problem is one OF model more than of
material.

time to take full bath every day.
nearly all can take n sponge bath.

minutes application day will keep
