Seventh Son.

A popular superstition that has a re- markedly tenacious hold in many parts of the world is a belief in the luck of a seventh son. 4 weaver named Doctor" Talbot was charged at a London police court the other day with travelling on a railway without having paid his fare. The prisoner said that Doctor was his Christian name, and he had had it given him Reeagse he was the seventh son of a seventh son, and therefore possessed the gift of healing
 in m English graveyard is the fol- lowing inscription: "A. SheBerd, the third seventh daughter, Doctress." In Lupton's Notable Things" edition 1860, we find: Ut is manifest by ex. perience that the seventh male child by just order (never girl or wentch being born between) doth heal only with touching, through a natural gift, the kings evil, which is a special gift of God, given to kings and queens, as daily experience doth witness. In France, especially in the Orleans dis trict, the seventh son is called a mar con; he possesses healing powers and is marked on the left side with a fleur- de-lis. On the border the seventh son is marked with seven stars and it is interesting to find that individuals of this class not only possess inherent healing powers, but it is the usual custom to bring them up as doctors.

Porto Rioan Hotels Are Hot.

The best hotel in San Juan, Porte Rico, charges S2 a day, but the sleep ing rooms all open into courts, have no outside windows and are to the last extremely hot. Under Spanish law, in towns where houses join, no outside windows are allowed. This is to avoid the danger of dirt from the interior blowing on to the adjacent roofs and contaminating the water, as all the supply is collected from the rainfall on the roofs and stored in cisterns.

Time for Exercise

About mid-afternoon is the best time for gentle outdoor exercise. Early morning exercise is as much to be avoided as early mental or physical labor because at that time vitality is at it's lowest ebb, and it needs stimu- lation rather than further taxing; none but the gentlest exercise should be taken until the exhausted system has been supplied with abundant nourish-

The Fabulous Sum That Has Been Paid
 For This Flower.

For This Flower.
 The fuss made about this flower and the extravagant prices offered for it by New York and Chicago flower fanciers has created a sort of carnation mania, almost similar to the famous tulip mania that turned the sedate, s7tady going people of Holland upside ( ". Il the seventeenth century. Notidas in the history of flowers ever appre .ched that. Holland, especially in tie vicinity of Haarlem, was then and is now the home of the tulip bulb. They are most sedulously cultivated and form an important item in the ex- port budget As a gambling mania, 8 wild scramble of silly spectators, 8 chimera that swallowed up entire for tunes of the unIucky and on the other hand laid the foundation of great Dutch fortunes that exist to-day, the tulip mania rivals in history the South Sea bubble of England. Men paid fabulous sums for a single bulb. Ad- miration of the flower and interest in
Semi=weekly graphic., 1899-05-27

it's culture was a secondary matter. No one imagines, of course that the carnation mania is going to assume any such proportions as that, but there is no guessing to what extreme a fad will be carried when richer New York once takes hold of it.
 When the Lawson carnation was ex- hibited at the New York Florists Club in March, 1898, no one could have for, told for it the distinction it has achiev. ea. It scored ninety-eight points out of a possible hundred, which was con- sidered good, but not remarkable The flower was exhibited by Mr Fisher The specimens shown then were only about three inches in diameter. Since then the flower has been developed to four and four and one-half inches. Its color is a beauti- ful cerise pink. It has a sturdy stem and most remarkable vitality. Some of the cut flowers have kept perfectly fresh for fifteen days.

A Home for Gomez.

Thirty-two district clubs fof the Cuban
national party have held meetings and de-
cided to oppose even the temporary with
drawal Of Gen. Maxine Gomez from the
island.
commission has been appointed to visit
all parts of Cuba and collect subscriptions
to fund for building Gomez a home and
furnishing him with money enough for the
rest of his life. This decision is generally
popular. In the opinion Of all Cubans, even
his POLITICAL opponents. Gomez deserves such
recognition after his long service and
self-sacrifice in behalf OF the Cuban cause
One politician, who is violently opposed to
him, said:
II believe this would be the best method
OF removing Gomez from the political field
as 1t would satisfy his vanity and desire
for distinction. I would willingly contrib
ute 800 to the fund II could be convinced
that he would not interfere again In Cuban
Affairs. as consider him the chief dis
tIrbing element"
