HAVE THE SAME SUPERSTITION
Islanders Fifteen Thousand Miles Apar,
 Believe in Evil Spirits.

beleVe In Evil Spirits.
 Philosophic people who belong to inc folk lore society are fond of tracing legends and myths and customs all over the world. Cinderella, the dear girl, is found in one knows not how many peoples, speaking innumerable tongues and believing an equal num- per of religions. How did Cinderella become ubiquitous? The transactions of the Folk Lore society will perbaps offer a theory. Now, there has been unraveled curious superstition con- mon to Shetlanders and Singhalese How islanders so wide apart-some 15.- V00 mlles-managed to adopt each oth- CTS views one does not know. But here IS the fact. The rice eultivators of Geylon and the fishermen of Shetland resemble each other in one or two rather remarkable points. They ra- frain from speaking of the implements of their calling by their names; they call them something else, by names known only to themselves. The reas son is that if the evil spirit were to think that they were speaking of spades and rakes or of nets and hooks he would be tempted to damage them or even to appropriate them. The train of thought is the same with both races. There is an evil spirit always on the 1oo'0ut for opportunities of do- ing miseh f. He even hears what we say. If we let him understand that we are talking about our implements and tools we shall direct his attention to them and shall suggest to him way of doing an injury. Therefore we will agree to call a boat or a spade by some fancy name known only to ourselves. ; Another custom of the shetlander, not possible to the rice grower, is that if in fishing his net catches something at the bottom and stone is brought up it is not to be thrown back again for fear of offending the evil spirit, who most certainly put 1t into the net. It is to be kept in the boat until the net again catches Then it is to be dropped in the water with the words: "Take your own and give me mine. where upon the net is at once released. Now, If the singhalese were to turn fisher, would he, following the same line of thought, adopt similar custom?- pittsburg Dispatch.

STONES OF INFAMYs
Memorials of Crime That Are Found
 in Ancient Genoa.

Memorials of Crime That Are Found
 in Ancient Genoa.
 Some stones of Genoa tell of treaeh- cry and crime, and as stones of fnfamy are, we believe peculiar to Genoa. They belong to later and more degen- crate times than those Of the noble Dorias and their victories. Here ia one inscription on pillar In the Via del Campo. "In infamous memory of Julius Caesar Yacehero, most aban- donea of men, who for having cOnspired against the republic, with his head cut off, with his goods confseated. with his sons banished, and with his house destroyed, expiated his Well-earned punishment in the year of grace 1628.' '' This Vacchero, a man of low birth, but wealthy, aspired to high dignity in the town, and plotted to betray the place 70 Charles Emmanuel, of Savoy, and to massacre the Doge and leading mo- bles. He had his reward, as the above inscription plainly shows. Here is an- other stone of infamy: .To John Paul Balbi, worst of men, a vile assassin, a clipper of gold coin and an utterer Of false,a notorious thief and an infamous extortioner of tribute, declared state traitor for eonspiring against the re- public, his property confscated, hi9 sons prescribed he himself condemned to the halter, this stone has been raised to his eternal shame in the year 1650." This Balbi was engaged in plot to betray the town to the French !n the time of Mazarin, Although his plot was discovered, he contriyed to ef. feet his escape, and spared the labors of the hangmap The third stone tells of Raphael della Torre, despoiler by every artifice of other mems goods, vile murderer, an associate of thieves, pirate in his own waters, traitor and an enemy of the state, who in. cured for plotting the ruin of the re public punishments less great than his crimes, was sentenced to be twice hanged, to have his property cont1s' eated. his sons banished, and his houses destroyed. Through this last ing monument of fnfamy may his name be ioathsome. Year of our Lord 1672.

The action of the Harzer's in voluntarily adopting the plant was evidently thought worthy of a memo rial.

 Georgia has a stringent law forbid ding it's citizens to carry pistols on pain of forfeiting the weapons and paying a fine of $50 or being impris- oned for thirty days Shortly after the passage of this enactment Judge Lester was holding court in a little town, when suddenly he suspended the triaI of a case by ordering the sheriff to lock the doors, of the courthouse
 Gentlemen,' said the judge when the 1oors were closed, T have just seen pistol on man in this room, ah1 I cannot reconcile it to my sense of duty to let such a violation of this law pass unnoticed. 1 ought perhaps to go be- fore the grand jury and indict him, but If that man will walk up to this stand and lay his pistol and a fine of $l down here I will let him off this time The judge paused, and law yer sitting just before him got up. slipped his hand into a hip pocket. drew out neat ivory-narftiled six shooter. and laid it with a dollar down upon the stand. This is all right" said the judge, abut you are not the man saw with the pistol" Upon this another lawyer arose and laid down a Colts revolver and a dollar bill be- fore the judge, who repeated his for mer observation. The process went on until nineteen pistols of all kinds and sizes and shapes lay upon the stand. together with nineteen dollars by their side. The judge laughed as he eom- plimented the nineteen delinquents upon being men of business, but add- ed that the man whom he had seen with the pistol had not come up, and, glaneing at the far side of the court. he continued: "I will give him one minute to accept my proposition, and if he fails I will hand him over to tte sheriff. ' Immediately two men from the back of the court rose and began to move toward the judges stand. Once they stopped to look at each other and then. coming slowly for. yard laid down their pistols and their 1olIars. As they turned their backs the judge said This man with the black whiskers is the one that originally saw "-New York Press.
