A ri, of superrtition.

One of the most literally patronized
of the Pennsylvania many passenger
trains is the st. Louis express, which
leaves the Broad street station each
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock. The regular
gate for the train is No. Il. but at this
season of the year the rush of people
to get aboard is SO great it becomes
necessary 10 open two gates. No. 13
being the nearest, ii is the one selected.
The saunterer happened to be in the
station the other afternoon when the
gates were thrown open. Instantly
there was a rush for No. Il and the
crowd became jammed around it for a
distance ST 30 feet in each direction.
Gate No. 8, was practically neglected.
This way for the st. Louis express, "
called out the ticket puncher at the
gate. This way for the St Louis ex-
press"
But. although his voice was good and
loud, none of the passengers who were
struggling around No. II seemed TO
hear it. Out of probably loo well
dressed. intelligent men and women
the saunterer saw but three leave the
pushing throng around No. II and pass
through No. -. He asked the gate
man why it was.
Don't know" was his answer, "ex-
cept it's superstition Afraid to start
on n journey by passing through a gate
with 13 as its number, | suppose. It's
this way every time, and will be,
guess, as long as the number or the
gate is left as it is. | believe that the
most of the people would rather miss

The inhabitants of Cochin China and
Siam have known the fighting capacity
of savage little fish for many years,
and have long been in the habit of
making matches between those owned
by different men, just as MeXicanS
match gamecocks and some Americans
and Englishmen bull pups. When a
match is made the parties to it having
laid their bets bring their specimens
of the fierce little Beta pugnaX in
globes of water Both are put into one
globe and without a moments hesita-
ton they fly at each other and do not
cease fighting until one of the com
batants is killed by the other.
1t is only year or two since speci-
mems of this fish We're brought to
Paris. but II IVY many are owned in
Paris, and it is said that the demand
for good specimens is constantly on the
increase. They are beautifully spotted
with red and blue and would attract

colors alone The savage nature be

Notice should be taken Of the efforts
which have from time to time been
made by the marine architect to miti-
gate the miscries of seasickness. He
has doubled his ship. he has slung his
ship as in a cradle. To no purpose The
life Of the channel steward remains an
arduous one. Seasickness is not to
be conquered by the shipwright. If
it was nArcly the rolling motion that
creates uaCsea. then hammock or a
cot would be as sure Il relief as twin
ship or a cradle hung saloon. Sea
sickness is caused by the several mo-
tons of the sea combined, and the
worst of these movements the builder
cannot possibly deal With mean
