SUPERSTITION OF SAILORS.
How 1t Was Manifested by british
Tars mt the AIbion's
Launching.

1t has been said that, next to the
savages and the infidels, sailors are the
most superstitious portion of humani-
~. A few weeks ago, writes London
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
when the new British warship Albion
was launched, the bottle of rosewater
not of chaInpa gne, remember-with
which the duchess of York was to
chris,en Erglands proudest vessel,
failed at the critical moment to break
against the ships bows. Immediately
there was no end of ominous talk
among the sailors about this abortiye
attempt at baptism. Mr.. Ivey, the
mayor of the place Of launching, in
commenting upon this fact, Observed:
Il have been a sailor myself, and
know what sailors are. There are
plenty of them who would rather have
three months of hard labor than serve
on board that ship. If anything hap
pens to her, they are sure to say at
once that 1t was because she was not
christened, and, in way, it Is quite
true that accidents do follow evil
omens. Suppose there is a storm. 1t
Is a critical time, and there is a super
stitious man at the wheel. He needs
all his nerve and GOODNESS, but just at
the critical time he RENE mbers the bad
omen. All says he to himself, that
bottle didn't break Something is
sure to happen He loses his balance
and something does happen. 1t is in
that sort of way that these 'unlucky'
incidents do really bring ill-luck"

SHORE CARGOES SHIFTED.
How TrucklOads Are shaken Over by
Continued JOItinE in the
Same Direction.

Once in awhile we read, says the
New York Sun, that the ship So-aEd-so
CT the steamer So-and-so has returned
TO port, or has arrived, perhaps. with
"a decided list, cargo shifted" Some
times we see land craft, truck, with
cargo shift ed-a big pile of boxes, tow
ering high, shaken over to one side or
the other by continued jolting along
on the side of the street on the slope. A
load thus shifted can't be shaken back
by running along on the opposite slope
of the road; it is like a stick Of COG
that has been bent and kept bent till
tho grain is set, whatever you do with
it the crook stays in.
If care is exercised in turning cor
ners and in navigating generally, the
shifted load can usually be carried to
its destination as it is without upset
ting, though it may work harder; the
experienced truckman knows Just
what can be done with 1t, and whether
1t has shifted as far as it will 90, and
all that. If it is so badly shifted as to
make the operation of the trucl. diff
cult or dangerous. he bauls to ore side
by the curb and anchors, that is o say
he halts and unlcads the shifted top
courses Of his cargo and then reloads
and makes everything trim and secure
and sets out again.

QUEER WAYS OF "COVITES."
II You Refuse to buy of Them Your
NeiGhbOr May Get the
Article Free.

In an article on the "Covites" of the
Cumberland mountains, published in
Ladies' Home Journal Sarah Barn
well Elliott says: The people are usu-
ally squatters on small lots of I'M
cleared mountain land, which is ex-
tremely shallow and poor. They usually
live in log or slab houses-sometimes
'chinked' and sometimes not; some
times with the floor and sometimes
out an existence by
peddling either the nuts and fruits of
the wilderness, or their very poor .gyar-
den truck They are very keen at bar
gain, even when they have no idea of
the proper value of the thing in hand.
and though they are very hospitable
when you come to their houses, and
will give you anything they have in
the way of food, they viii never give
you anything that they have brought
to sell. They may give it to your cook,
or to your next door neighbor, or they
may throw it away just outside your
gate, but you having declined to pay
their price they will not give it to you
At least not that special article"
