NOT SUPERSTlTiOUS.

No, am not superstitious
| consider 1t pernicous,
If not absolutely vicious,
In a man
To admit himself so small that he must sean
Every little sign and omen
As the menace of a foeman.
Still I'm free to say that Friday
Never, never would be my day
For venture, for I'm sure 'twould never hit.
Though am not superstitious-not a bit.
Really, I've no liberation
OF that nervous hesitation
And that irksome perturbation
Which I've seen
When dinner party CHANGED to be thirteen.
Why, I've seen that arrant folly
Make whole crowd melancholy,
With their whining and their fiimsy,
Foolish reasons for the whimsey
Still, own l hate to be the last to sit
Though am not superstitious-not bit
Certain things may be propitious,
Though they seem but adventurous
And it's hardly superstitious
TO perceive
Which is which, and so accordingly believe
Now there's nothing makes me sadder
Than to walk beneath ladder
But grow good deal holder
When the moon Is at my shoulder.
And to spill the salt it takes away my grit
Though am not superstitious-not a bit.
Surely nothing can be clearer
Than that evil marches nearer
By the breaking Of a mirror,
And it's true
That bowling dog in nighttime makes me
blue,
For his keen scent makes no errors,
And he smells the king Of terrors.
Here's another thing-take heed, sir,
If your nose should start to bleed, sir
And should only bleed three drops and ther
should quit
Though am not superstitious- a bit
1t is odd to see what uses
Some folks make of vain excuses
Rather than admit abuses
OF the mind
When they re rather superstitiously inclined
just to put it in plain English,
1t would seem they cant distinguish
Between false and foolish cases,
And the few which have basis
In experience, which even admit,
Though am not superstitious-not whit

Sense of Touch Wanting.

One has heard of heartless women and
women without feeling, but that hu-
man being can exist without any sense
Of touch seems marvellous, yet this is
claimed for Mrs. Evartina Tardo, a
young widow in the West Indies Ply
sicians who have known her case pro-
nounce it a physiological freak. She is
said to be wholly without feeling, has
swallowed poison, been shot, bitten by
rattlesnakes, received a puncture in her
heart from doctors lance and had her
neck dislocated, all without experience
ing any pain. Besides these experiments,
she can without injury drink benzine
and light the gas at hollow needle
which pierces her cheek. This strange
assertion is backed by the word Of ply
sicians of repute. AS child she was
bitten by a cobra, and it is claimed that
her sensory nerves were paralyzed and
her system innoculated with poison. -

Ever the Way.

"Oh, yes, we call her 'mademoiselle, ="
explained the theatrical manager AS
matter of fact, her father is German,
her mother Irish, she was born in Amer
lea, and her name is Guzzenheimer, but
of course we call her 'mademoiselle. ;
She looks about as much like a French
woman as she does like Hottentot,
and it doesn't fool anybody at all, but
when she went on the operatic stage she
had to do something to indicate that
she was in the swim, and that was about
as easy as anything she could think of,
so she let it go at that. Chicago Post

How the Election Law Works.

The most notable result of Tuesdays vote
hearing upon the operation of the present
Election law in this State is the facility
with which the voters Disseminated be-
tween the candidates on different tickets
in those localities where there was an
active interest in the contest.
The city of Buffalo and the county of
Queens show how the citizen can learn to
work the new ballot" as the local news.
papers put 1t. In Buffalo a Democrat
was elected Mayor by upward of 1000 ma.
Jority, while the successful Republican can.
didate for District Attorney received a ma
jority of more thar 5000 in that city. In
Queens county HARRISON S. MOORE, Re.
publican candidate for County Judge, won
by several hundred majority, while WILL
LARD BARTLETT, the Democratic candidate
for Justice of the Supreme Court, carried
the county by several thousand.
These facts indicate that IL the Legis-
lature will let the law alone, the voter will
ultimately learn how to mark the ballot so
as to express his wishes. But il the method
OF marking is changed every year or two,
confusion will attend every election, and
many persons will be too much mystiied,
when they get into the election booths, to
use the pencil in such a wa as to manifest
their real preferences.
We hope, therefore, that the Legislature
OF 1898 will make no alterations in the
Election law, except such as shall be gen.
orally approved as absolutely necessary.

The effort to relieve the eight whaling
vessels held by the Ice pack off Point
Barrow and Demarcation Point, may lead
to an interesting experiment. The plan
under consideration, which Admiral KIRK
LAND urges, is the one proposed by Lieut..
SToNEY, and 1t consists OF sending supplies
of food, clothing, and medicines to Port
Clarence or Norton Sound, and thence over
land to Point Barrow by reindeer.
1t seems to be this or nothing, because
the ice hat keeps the whalers from getting
out of their plight would prevent any ship
from reaching them for a very long time.
The friends Of the scheme of maintaining
Government reindeer in Alaska will Ger.
tainly be glad to see this plan of Lieut..
STONEY tried. There has been some sharp
criticism of DIR. SHELDON JACKsoS's propo-
sal as to RENDERS, but perhaps this has
been chiefly directed against the feasibility
of creating a new food supply, which was
the main idea originally involved. Just
now. however, the purpose is to use them
rather as carriers of food, which Is another
matter; INT it Is worth noting that the
animals are also relied on for conveying
food to needy miners on the Yukon as well
as to imperilled whalers at Point Barrow.
Secretary BLISS some weeks ago directed
DIR. JACKSON to send to st. Michael a
hundred reindeer in his charge nearest that
post, and Secretary ALGER ordered Col.
RANDALL to aid by collecting at that post
as many of the reindeer as he could reach
and thought himself likely to need, and
would be able to take care of. Port Clar-
ence Is still nearer to Point Barrow than
st. Michael, being directly on Behring
Strait. and it was long ago made a leading
reindeer station or corral. Accordingly,
II the cutter Bear should reach that
point. it would probably find reindeer ut

Elm the controversy over the Now York Botanical

Professor OF Botany In the New York College OF Phar-
macy. has been one OF the prime movers In It.
"Dr. HusBY was asked TO give the druggists OF this

owner OF the publication of which Dir. STILES was ed.

TO Its Early Accomplishment.
Tho Board of Street Opening gave n public

Of the Riverside Drive from its present terminus

thorizing the expenditure Of SO. 0oO, 900 for tho

of Street Opening before Nov. %, and Engineer
Webster is Of the opinion that IL some formal
