Confident believers in the thirteen" su-
perstitiou may ind the grewsome comfort
of increased faith in an anecdote told by
John G. Millais in the biography of his
father, says an exchange At a dinner
party given to Matthew Arnold by Sir
John Millais, in August 1850 Miss c.
s., one of the guests, as soon as the
company had sat down al the table, called
terrified attention to the fact that the
company numbered thirteen. She dare
not, she said, be one of the thirteen. as
sne mad had prior experience of painful
results following a similar contretemps
SIT John failed TO laugh her out of her
superstition. To calm her fears, there
fore, he asked his son to withdraw to the
parlor and take his dinner there. Even
this did not reassure the lady. During
the progress of the meal she grew very
nervous and repea tedly said:
i fear some calamity will happen"
Ihe son tells US that he returned to the
dlning room just as the ladies were about
TO arise and found Matthew Arnold dis
coursing learnedly on the subject of su-
perstition.
with laugh, "the idea is that whoever
leaves the table first will die within
year; so, with the permission of the ladies,
we viii cheat the fates for once l and
these strong lads (pointing to Edgar Daw-
son and E S) will all rise TO-
gether, and I think our united eonstitu-
tions will be able to withstand the assault
of the Reaper"
The three men then arose and the ladies
left the room
Now, mark the sequel. Some six months
later Matthew Arnold, then in the prime
OF life, and to all appearances, in robust
heaith' died suddenly of heart disease.

the death of Thomas NJ Brumby, of Geor-

THE GREATEsT POWER.

Two things directly connected with the
South African war that are attracting
attention are gratifying to American pride
One is that no one of the Powers of Eu
rope will offer to mediate between the
British and Beers unless the United States
take the lead in the matter, and the other
is that Great Britain is looking 10 this
country for money with which to carry
on military operations. The first in
dicates that the United States are the
greatest Power in the world and the other
towards the United States.
1t is in fact a question If New York is
not a greater money center now than Lon-
don. Last Monday the bankers of New
York discussed the question of assisting
Great Britain in her financial difficulties.
The South African war is costing Great
Britain about $40, 900 a week, and she
is already in need of money. The cost of
the war is going TO be enormous. The
present outlook is that the war will be a
long one.
The credit of the United States is the
best in the world. Their per cent. bonds
sold last Monday at 102. On the same date
British consols, which pay interest at the
rate of 2% per cent, sold below par With
credit better than that of Great Britain
and an excess OF exports over imports
greater than that of any other nation, and
with Great Britain looking to New York
for money with which to carry on her
war "a, South Africa ft does not saar, IN
reasonable to say that the worlds finan-
cial center is moving from London to
New York.
