as many superstitions as the maid of
ancient days." remarked DR.. G. Court
ney Philips, of San Antonio, Tex. "Not
long ago had occasion to be walking
through one of our parks with three
pretty young summer girls. We were
chatting pleasantly and laughing, when
suddenly black cat happened to cross
the path ahead Of us. The girls all
stopped still and refused TO move un-

cts, found bit of cardboard, and tore
it trif1e. I was surprised and amused,
and asked them why they should in
sist on. the cardboard being torn. They
told me that it was awfully ill luck to
have cat cross a path in front of one,
and that the only way to avoid the
evil that would otherwise result was
to tear a bit of paper. They did not
know what magic was in the paper,
but insisted that some subtle force
dispelled the bad luck. "-Washington

ers has been the subject of frequent
comment of late in almost all parts
of the civilized world. The latest illus
tration comes from Switzerland, where
the continued ravages of the amateur
and commercial botanist have been SO
extensive as to provoke special edict
from the project of the ute-Savoie.
It is well known that such plants as
the gentian, the edelweiss, the cycla-
men, the arnica montana and the aro-
matte genepi are year by year becom-
ing more scarce owing to the high
prices which are obtained for speci-
mems in the markets of big continental
cities-the edelweiss, SO much priced as
a souvenir Of visit to the Swiss noun
tains, being sold at a price sufficiently
high to induce the Alpine peasants to
run great risks in gathering it.. The
new edict has been issued with aview
to stopping this destruction Of Alpine
plants and flowers within certain linn
its and seasons, and there is general
agreement that It has not been issued
any too SOON. 7. Post.
