Maryland Superstitions.

There are superstitions throughout
all the counties of Maryland concern
ing the cross roads and running wat
er. Witches are supposed to make
their homes at the crossing Of two
roads and to appear there at mid
night. One peculiar thing about the
Witches is that they cannot get
across running water and a stream of
any sort acts as a protection against
the nightly providers. who will follow
along the bank Of stream In prefer
ence to road. These are some of
the things which are more generally
believed around Washington and
along the eastern shores. Some Of the
ARTICLES of the creed of the supersti-
tious in that neighborhood are:
Ii you sweep your room at night.
you sweep away your wealth.
Never shake crumbs out of your
window after dark. They are sup
posed to fall into the eyes Of the Lord
and to disturb the spirits of the dead
who wander abroad at night.
Don't wash your bands in water in
which eggs have been boiled. You
are liable to become covered with
warts.-Baltimore Sun.

occurred a sad accident by which
Mr.. Mills lost his fourteen months old
boy. The baby was gone about twenty
minutes before an -alarm was sounded
and all hands turned out to search.
An irrigating ditch runs close to tho
house and events prove that the baby
crawled from the house, fell into the
ditch and the body was carried to the
river and deposited on sandbar ono
hundred feet away where it was
found by Will Mills. The funeral
took place the next day and the little

Another Fire.

Another fire alarm startled the
town ut 3 o'clock this afternoon. This
time it was Recorder Watkins kitch-
en-, in the eastern part of town that
went up in smoke. The fire must
have started in a pile Of rubbish
alongside Of the shed used as a sum-
mer kitchen, and was probably caus-
ed by spark from the stove. Mrs.
Watkins told the reporter that
there had been no fire in the
stove since noon. The fire
was discovered by Mr.. Watkins little
child. The first ones tc arrive after
the alarm was given found the west
end of the kitchen and a pile of rub
bish along side of it in flames.
The bucket brigade soon had the fire
under control. The loss is slight, but
Mr.. Watkins will have to find another
kitchen.
People should clean their back
yards Of rubbish. If Mr.. Watkins
had done this, his kitchen would not
have gone up in smoke this afternoon.

From the Reservation.

We have received letter from
White Rock under date OF July 18th,
which gives the following interesting
account Of affairs at the Duck Valley
reservation:
DEAR SIR:-I sent you q short note
few da. 8 ago. Since that things have
grown quiet again-even going to the
other extreme.
The Indian had their usual Fourth
OF July dance, lasting week. The
plan was when tn, dance broke I'D
Friday morning, to sieze and fore
IDLY eject from the reservation, the
same girls over whom the trouble was
on April 18th, last, together with one
or two others. The Agent was not to
be known in the affair, but fortunate
ly we learned the whole plan before
hand. The agent, his wife and daugh-
ter had held their councils with few
OF the worse Indians and laid the
whole plan. The purposed victims
knew of it also and during the dance
Friday night, fled from the camp and
were soon safe in the school where
they have remained since. A NUM- be r
of Indians we're there with the mten-
ton OF fighting for the protection of
the girls. Had any attempt been
made to carry out the plans, serious
trouble would have followed.
Have since learned to my satisfaction
that the plan was only entered into
reluctantly by the Indians who were
only too glad that it failed.
There is not the slightest danger Of
these Indians making trouble, unless
melted by the whites. Just before
school closed a fourth attempt was
made to burn the school building.
January LIST, last, fire was started
in the kitchen by two littly girls. 1t
was thought at the time to be only an
accident and but little significance
was attached to it till the next day
when the Agent came up and de-
handed the resignation of the cook
and industrial teacher, neither of
whom were near at the time, nor
could they in any way be considered
responsible. OF course, these en-
ployees refused to resign. On May
18th while. We were at Wmnemucca,
and inspector Holland was in charge
OF the school, Mary Jackson, one of
the older girls, who belongs to the
family of one Of the Judges and is the
tool OF the Agent, induced two Of the
smaller girls to set the building afire
in the girls play room by first saturat-
ing the floor and some paper with
coal oil. The fire was discovered and
put out, but the guilty ones we're
still unknown. Failing in this, Mary
made another attempt herself the
next day by stuffing saturated paper
in the hole in the wall made by the
previous fire. This, too, was disco vered
and extinguished. just before the
clo5e OF school a fourth attempt was
made by picking to pieces comfort
and setting it atire in the garres on
the boys side Of the house. Scatter
ed over the charred cotton is the re-
mains of hand grenade which is
missing from the hall below, showing
conclusively that some scholar has
saved the building unknown to the
employees. Will make no comments
on this, you can Judge of it as well as

YOUR WEIGHT VARIES DAILY.
A Man May Gain Three Pounds And
Six Ounces in One Day.
From T<namIedge

These are The days OF penny in the
slot" and possibly every one weighs very
frequently for his own amusement. Even
if the machines are not very accurate, the
probability is that if you weigh regularly
on the same machine you can see correct
ly whether you increase or diminish in
weight. We are not concerned here with
the steady increase or diminution in
weight al various times of the year or be-
fore and after an illness, but / want to
draw attention TO the fact that in health
we vary in weight from hour to hour, and
that this does not seem TO be recognized.
1t is strange to see what absurd falacies
occupy the popular mind. ApropCs of the
subject of this paper, it has been serious
iy asserted by many people that you are
naturally lighter after a meal, an they
have even gone the length of explaining
this by the amount of gas that is develop
ed from the food. These people must be
very uncomfortable after meals! 1t re-
minds me rather of the famous fallaey
said to have been submitted 10 the Royal
Society, asking why a fish could be put
into a basin brimful of water without
making it run over. When it was tried a.
some ones suggestion the waller, of
course. did run over
Surprising we want to find whether we
do really vary in weight or not, there are
two ways to set about the inquiry. We
can either sit in a weighing machine and
live there-which does not commend i;self
10 most of us-or we can weigh ourselves
al regular times during the day, which is
more feasible Now, common sense points
out that we must vary in weight accord
ing to the amount of food we take in and
the amount of material that we lose

One of the Dusky-Wings That Feed
ON Violets and BIueberries.


The dusky-wing is one of family of
small sober-tinted butterflies belonging to
the tribe of shippers, so-called from their
darting flight and their busting ways
One would imagine the dusky-wings fond
of night, or at least of shadow for there is
a dreamy dusky-wing, as well as our
sleepy duskywing. but they are butter
flies of the day, and like the open road as
weh as moist places in the woods.
Have you not often noticed, in driving,
smaA puddle in the road surrounded by a
perfect swarm of butterflies and seen
them rise only to return speedily, and after
a great deal Of lowering and posturing,
alight in the same place? You see, they
have to arrange il so that each butterfly
may have comfortable room for his wings
beside the puddle Our special dusky-wing
has very dainty tastes-although she prob
ably also visits puddies-and feeds chiefly
on violets and blueberries in their season.
There are some interesting facts about
these butterflies in their earlier caterpillar
stage, which / will tell you before describ-
ing the wonderful pocket of the higher
winged life. The caterpillars use silk for
their nest Innings. and for their fastenings.
Juvenals dusky-wing lives on the oak, and
makes a nest from its leaf, drawing its
edges together with strands of golden silk;
and often dropping golden curtains of a
thin and delicate silk, like tissue, before
its openings.
When it is ready to leave its old house
for a new one, which it does whenever il
casts off the old skin, it never forgets to
bite in two the golden strands and let the
leaf-fap back TO its natural position. It's
last home, where 1t sleeps as a chrysalis
before emerging as a fu,l-growu butterfly,
is fully lined with golden silk, for it may
have TO remain there for many cold days
If any accident happens to this nest, it
repairs the damage but the second silk
lining Is no longer gold. but white, like the
white silk poriiers and Innings of its cous-
in, the dreamy dusky-w wing.
The male butterflies have the proud priv
ilege of pocket, but the pocket of a but
terhy is wonderfully made. II is really
an extension of the under wing folded
back on the upper side but it is eXquis-
itely colored and marked like the upper
side so that ii is very hard to detect, and
no one has yet discovered just how it is
opened, although undoubtedly the butter
fly can throw il open while he is flying
At first glance there seems to be only
white, and amber-colored silk floss within,
but examine this with microscope and
you will find twisted ribbons, slender rods
shaped like a shepherds crook, others
jointed bamboo-like, and flexible rods and
tiny scales of various sorts and patterns.
1t is known that insects have a marvel
ously keen scent. and 1t is believed that
all these odd little objects are perfume
boxes, and that the fragrance SO thrown
abroad Is a signal call to the female but
terfly, which may be wandering about in
teresting guess, and these is much evil
dence 10 prove that butterflies and moths
are summoned from great distances by
odors that we would hardly notice.
