costly diamonds in her ears is the only
remedy for sore eyes are most amusing
but their ideas are no more unreasonable
than are some of the pet hobbies of men
and women whose position in the world is
such as to entitle them to considerable
respect.
Bismarck. for instance, was certainly
one of the great men of the century and
yet In one respect at least he was ex-
tremely superstitlous. He had the great
est veneration for the number three and
carried this idea to such an extreme that
he divided his labors as we'll as his pleas
ures into three parts. Everything he
did was in some manner made to asso-
cite itself with the number "three," and,
whether this had anything to do with it
or not. the so-called lucky mineral GER
tainly played an important part in his
life.
During his career he served three mas
ters. fought in three VARS, signed three
treaties of peace and formed the triple
alliance. Personally he had three names
and bore three titles. The armorial
bearings of his family was divided into
three parts. During his career as a gem
eral he had three horses killed under him
and he was the father Of three children.
1t is not every man who can see his
favorite superstition work so systematic
caliy Dug his entire life and Yet
any man who is in the slightest degree
superstitious dislikes to have anything
interfere with this hobby. One of the
most common of superstitions is the be-
lief in lucky or unlucky days. To Pres
ident Mckinley Friday is IA day to be
dreaded and he carries his superstition
to an excess. He absolutely refuses to
make n public engagements for thai
day and has been known to have post
poned the signing of public documents
for no other reason.
The emperor of Germany has the same
dread of Friday and when any engage
have been IKE for that day he al
ways insists upon their postponement.
On II occasion the staff, forgetting the
superstition of the emperor, arranged for
a review to take place on Friday. Kaisec

ieleflous influence, gamblers are no
LONGER the scourge they used to be,
me trouble presents Itself now in a
Tar more lnsldlous form than formerly.
Cases of young men ruined and homes
associated are all too common. The New
York Society for the Suppression of Vice
mas had called to It's notice the circum-
stances under which a once trusted book
keeper was found to be a defaulter to the
extent of nearly $50 900, and at this mo-
ment he is a convicted felon. Two of the
gamblers alleged to have taken the ma Tor
portion of the stolen money We're subsa-
quently convicted. and one of them was
1ined so. Adequate punishment, truly.
for a $35, 900 crime.
Is the work progressing, is vice being
suppressed? Yes. The public conscience
is not so dead to these things as il once
was. The very outcry of those who suf-
fer through this warfare on crime is a
proof OF this. Nothing is more dangerous
IMAM silent, unobtrusive evil. When evil
doefs md 1t necessary to come out of the
darkness it shows that they are being
successfully commended against.
But organized crusades against vice
are always more or less dependent upon
lhdlNldual interest. Every man and wo-
man can do something. Every little effort
counts. Teachers In colleges and semin-
dlles, employers OF labor, officials in in
situations are those whom it behooyes ia

AND EACH AN OMEN OF GOOD LUIGI.

1t is all very we'll for us to laugh at
superstitions, to brand them as relics of
barbarism, absurd in the light of pres
ent-day civilization, and yet 1t cannot be
denied that there are comparatively few
people who are not possessed of a childish
Upon some favorite sign or a
ridiculous dread of some i'll omen. OF
course it must be admitted that supersti-
ton is one of the traits that have been
handed down to us from a time so far in
the past that it loses itself in the age of
fable.
When the world was young. so young
that mythology was the only science, man
was beset by demons and, in fear Of them
evolved strange schemes in the hope that
they might enable him to escape the
clutches of his nemies of the air. As
the world grew older and wiser the de-
mons retreated into space and ignorance
gave place to knowledge but, in spite of
this the superstitions remained so firmly
fixed in the human mind that they are
sometimes almost as strong to-day as
they ever have been.
Practical men do not like to admit this.
1T makes the world seem so ridiculous
n yet it is unquestionably true that
many OF the Wisest, reatest and BRIGHT
est men that have ever lived have order
ed their lives with due regard to some of
the most absurd of superstitions. The
man who carries a horse chestnut in his
pocket to ward off rheumatism and the
woman who insists that the wearing of

turning to the castle the innocent potent
of evil was relegated to the apartment of
one of the princestses and has not since
received the caress Of the queen.
The aged ruler of Great Britain, how
ever is not alone in her fear of the cat
as an i'll omen. Lord Roberts, one of
the bravest soldiers of the empire, finds
an uncomfortable enemy in the cat, for
If he can possibly avoid it. he will not
permit one of the inoffensive animals to
enter his presence. A black cat is par
ticularly aWesome to him and he will
decline n invitation if he knows that
there is a black eat in the house.
Many actors and actresses have this
superstition, but among few is it as
strong as in the case OF Ellen Terry, for
her fear of the cat is SO strong tina she
will not allow one in any theater where
she is playing and she insists that the
only pieces with which she was connect
ed that ever proved failures were chose
in which a black cat happened to find its
way upon the stage during rehearsal.
AS is probably well known those who
follow the theatrical profession are often
as superstitious as the proverbial gam
bier. Gtero never goes on the stage
without first crossing herself to insure
good luck and some of the leading stars
of the theatrical world would be almost
ready to retire from the stage if they
should lose the horseshoe that is so Sc
curely nailed into the I'd of their trunks.
Mary Anderson always considered il
an i'll omen to peep through the curtain
while the house was filling and Mrs. Les
lie Carter. practical woman she is, always
raps three times on the wings before
walking on the stage in order to Danish
ev.l influences. Mrs. Brown Potter al

I am asked to give my opi,Ion Of Ger
tain matters can"a"t"H ~ slppres-
sion of vice in our country-whether the
public conscience is dead to the work. to
nj extent vice is increasing or de-
creasing among us, and wherein earnest
men and women may do something to-

without recourse to such fire scattering
measures as to most obiectionab BILE form is

in narrower limits and the wretched crea-
lures whose worldly gain is in the moral
degradation of humanity are not able to
ply their trade. whatever it be. in the
open light of day-that is. speaking gen
orally. Men who work actively for the
suppression of vice can remember when
the traffic in vicious literature, in the
tools of infamy and the Daraphernalia of
Wickedness was as unrestrained as the
apostle of evil could himself wish. Today
all that is changed. Since the organiza-
tons now established in all large comnu-
mites to battle against every form of hui
man turpitude began their work. a ire
mendous alteration in the sense Of COM
munities themselves with reference to
social evils has been affected. Today
men are not proud of being sinners. Lit
erature that never was anything but the
catechism of Satan is not purveyed in
public. Resorts in which youth became
old in sin and where virtue was a syn

recognized officially. Of course. we have

such a belief IN the magic power Of

is still as widely held as any superstition.

charm that is most priced by King
George OF Greece is a bullet with which
an assassin once attempted to take his
life. The ball lodged in the side of the
carnage from which it was extracted by
the KING and it is now always worn as
a potent of good fortune.
Queen Christina of Spain has a most
unique superstition. She believes that
the eye OF a raven, dried, pierced and
worn over the heart will drive away mis-
fortune and unhappiness. She never
removed the one she wears, which was
gwen her by her grandmother at the
austrian court before she became queen.
AS a people those of royal blood are lust
as superstltlous as more ordinary indi-
Vluuals. The emperor of Austria will
give no decision in important family or
state affairs the day following the night
on winch he dreamed of dead relatives
or friends and Queen Louise of Denmark
always placed in the christening rob,s or
her daughters three needles that had been
USED IN making them, which was suppos-
ca to have insured the drawing Of good
prizes in the matrimonial market.
Rudyard kipling's only superstition is
lne desire % see the new moon over his
rlsnt shoulder. Rider Haggard never
writes q word for publication unless he
mas his scarab, to which he attaches
great value as a charm. 1t is the original
OF the famous scarab in 'She,'' and was
picked up by the author in Africa. Since
then ne has come to regard it with 4
feeling that approaches veneration,
MISS Braddon is her author who
places superstitious value upon mani
mate objects. Her particular charm IS
a gold mounted penholder and she fnds it
absolutely impossible to write with any
other pen. Not long ago she broke it
and was obliged to suspend work upon
her new book until it had been sent to
