IRISH BELIEF IN FAIRIES.
rhe story of u Lost Child Who Was
Found Recently by Smoking
Out the Spritcs.

In a village in the west of Ireland
few weeks ago a child wandered away
into the country and was lost. Its anX-
lous parents, after weary and unavail-
ing search. reported the matter to the
constable in charge of the village. After
carefully questioning them he told
them that any further search for the
child would be useless without certain
preliminaries, because il was clear to
him that the poor child had been car
ried of by the fairies, according TO
their weN-known custom. The consta-
BILE told them to make fire and burn
in il as much of a certain herb as they
could find. They did so at once. Then,
according to his instructions, they went
neain in search of the child. He had de-
clared that the smoke of the burning
herb would force the fairies to bring
the child back, and, sure enough, Oh
going over the ground they had previ-
ously searched, they found the little
boy asleep beside stream. says the
New York sun.
The reputation and authority of that
constable have now increased a hun
dredfold in all the countryside, and
very few householders in those parts
now have the temerity to risk offending
"the good people" as they call the
fairies (much as the Greeks used to call
the furies the Eumenides," or we'll
wishing ones), by emitting to leave out
every night the traditional bowl of milk
and the griddle cake for their benefit.
The constable himself believes his
charm brought the child back. Yet,
like all the Royal Irish constabulary, be
has had to pass fairly stiff eXamina
ton in order to be received into the
Eeryice

THESE BRING LUCK.
Superstitious Regard That Many Per-
sons Have for Mere
Tri6es.

Life is made up of little things, and
the smaller they are the more important
part they play sometimes" observed
prominent street contractor to a Wash
ington Star reporter. How few peo-
pie fail 10 pick up horse shoe if it is
in their road. a pin has similar in
huence among many men, but | dom,
think | have ever seen a woman pick up
pin in the street, though they have
much more use for them than men. l
pick up pins and horse shoes as often as
| see them, and don't know that have
ever had any special good luck or bad
luck in consequence, and | suppose
shall continue 10 do so TO the end of the
chapter. call it superstition or anything
else you may. The lucky pickup with
me, however, is marbles-the playing
alleys of the boys-and l am free to ad-
nit that l would rather find marble
than any small thing that l know of.
Good luck always has followed finding
marble as far as l am concerned, and
in talking about il l find that others
have had similar experience. My OBJ
servation, though, is that marble find
ing is the rarest kind of good luck for
women, though there is not as much
superstition in il as there is about the
horse shoe. You will be surprised upon
talking TO your circle of friends TO find
how many there are who are pleased TO
pick up marble. and many of them will
be able TO give you substantial reasons
for their belief. know a Colorado lady
who resides in this ciJy-an artist OF
some distinction-who tells me that she
Las never failed 10 sell her pictures if
she had a marble which she found in
her pocket, and has never been able TO
do so if she did not have any. Simply
carrying the marble in the pocket does
not work the charm 1t must be found,
and the more frequent the finding the
more frequent the good luck"

COSTA RIGA BANANAS.
Delicious Fruit Comes from the Yves:
Indian Island-Crops the Whole
Year Round.

THE best bananas grown in the
world come from Port Limon, Costa
Rica," said a New Orleans man to Il
Washington Post reporter
They are shipped from Port Limon,
and the country grower gets about 30
cents per bunch in gold. He is mott
fled by wire from the seaport when to
cut, and has two days in which to gat hen
and deliver to the railway. Trains com
posed of wcll-yentilated cars take The
fruit to a fast steamer, which is wait
ing to convey it abroad. The punches
will average about II hands each and
each hand has from II to IS bananas.
When the bunch gets to New Orleans or
New York they are worth about four
dollars each, tremendous advance over
the price paid the Costa Rican pro-
Queer.
The planter, however, is surer of
safe profit than any other person hand
ling the fruit. Jamaica negroes do all
the labor attendant on the planting.
culture and cutting, being better adapt
ed to the work than the native peon.
Jamaica bananas often make finer
appearance, but are not so prolific as the
tions of Costa Rica are subject to over
flow and the waters deposit a silt that
greatly enriches the soil. Crops are
ready for cutting the whole year
round"
