HAVE THE SAME SUPERSTITION
Islanders Fifteen Thousand Miles Apart
 Believe In Evil Spirits.

Philosophic people who belong to the 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- Der of religions. How did Cinderella become ubiquitous? The transactions of the Folk Lore society will perhaps offer theory. Now, there has been unraveled a curious superstition com mon to Shetlanders and Singhalese. 900 miles-manage to adopt each oth- er's views one does not know. But here is the fact The rice cultivators Of 5eylon 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 reaH son is that If the evil spirit were to think that they were speaking ot 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 lool out for opportunities of do- ing misca ef 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 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 1t is not to be thrown back again for fear of offending the evil spirit, who most certainly put it 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 ?- Pittsbpeg Dispatch.

Memorials of Crime That Are FourpS
 in Ancient Genoa.
 Some stones of Genoa tell of treaeh- cry and crime, and as stones Of infamy are. We believe, peculiar to Genoa, They belong to later and more degan, crate times than those Of the noble Borias and their victories. Here ia one inscription on pillar In the Via del Campo: Tn infamous memory Of Julius Caesar Yaechero, most aban- loned Of men, who, for having conspired against the republic, with his head Gut off, with his goods eonfseated, with his sons banished, and with his house destroyed, expiated his wel1-earned punishment in the year of grace 1928. '" fhis Vacehero, a man of low birth, but wealthy, aspired to high dignity in the town, and plotted to betray the place to Charles Emmanuel, of Savoy, ana to massacre the Doge and leading no- oles. He had his reward, as the above inscription plainly shows. Here is an- other stone of infamy: "To John PavI od4Bls WOiSL Oi hEus ea H1lG dSsd5Sl1I q clipper of gold coin and an utterer of false,a a notorious thief and an infamous extertioner of tribute, declared a state traitor for conspiring against the re- public, his property confscated, his sons prescribed. he himself condemned to the halter, this stone has been raised to his eternal shame in the year t650." This Balbi was engaged in a plot to betray the town to the French tn the time of Mazarin. Although his plot WAS discovered, he contrived to eff. feet his escape, and spared the labors of the hangman. The third stone tells of Raphael della Torre, despoiler by every artifce of other mems goods, 8 vile murderer, an associate of thieves, a pirate in his own waters, a 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 confis
 cated, his sons banished, and his houses destroyed Through this last ing monument of infamy may his name be loathsome. Year of our Lord 1872. g

 Must Not Speak Too Freely.
 The editor of small provincial pa per in Austria was in great difficulty to find fit subject for his leading article, having been too intent upon other business or upon pleasure to provide one. The last moment had come and the editor WAS in despair. He tortured his brain in vain, when he suddenly was inspired by happy thought and dashed off the lines. After carefully perusing the leading article written for the present number by one of the ablest of our contributors, we have ar rived at the conclusion that 1t nay be misinterpreted by the authorities and regarded as an attack upon the gov ernment. We ourselves consider 1t to be perfectly innocent, but, as we are unwilling, for our readers sake, as well as for our own, to have our news paper confscated, We have very un- willingly. though, as we think, pru- dently. resolved 10 withdraw the aftl- eIe. This must serve as the apology to our readers for the blank space in our present issue" The journal was pub ,ished in the evening, and the sly ed itor, after performing this little piece of stratagem. left the office in high hunor. AS soon as he arrived In the office next morning clerk came up to him, with a doleful expression, and said, Herr Redaktor, the paper is confscated by the police" For what reason ?a asked the astonished editor. For malicious ridicule of the institu. tions of the Austrian empire by the omission of the leading article re- piled the man.-New York Press.

 Do you see that woman going out?" said the man in the dry goods house whose business k Is to make things ''aii right with dissatisfied customers "She's only one of 'em I have score or more every day. She's kicking about q dress. We've altered it twic1s and she still thinks 1t doesn't quite 1t her in the back. It's hard job to look pleasant and be perennially agreeable, and I never knew but one man whe could do it. He was the complaint man in a big store-a friend of mine and he held the place for twenty years. He never failed to say the right thing and was the most perfect jolly that ever was. He knew how to com Bliment woman ess to form and con- plexion in way that never was equal ed. His smile was the envy of all the salesmeD In the place. It had win- ming sweetness about it that was sim ply irresistible and never failed to van quish the most desperate kicker. One day an uncle of my friend died and left him s40,000 A few moments after the news reached my friend an old pa- tron of the store came ina woman who for years had been noted as a kicker, but whom 1t had been my friends duty and pleasure to make sat- Esfied with her purchases She had bonnet in her hand and was kicking about the shape, the trimmings and everything in way that was calcu- lated to carry terr6r to the stoutest heart. "so,' said my friend, you don't like this bonnet. You don't like any thing about it. Well, don't blame you. It don't suit you in any way, and 1t can't be made to suit you. Of course 1t can't. And there's no bonnet on earth that can be made to suit such pig-faced, disagreeable woman as you are, anyway He had repressed his natural feeling for twenty years, but the worm that had been trodden upon through two decades turned at last. He then put on his hat. and the place that had known him so long knew him no more forever. ."-Ex.

pr Elliott Coues, she famous ornl- thologist, whose death took place re- gently, was a firm believer in ghosts. and promised several of his friends that he would appear to them after his demise. He used to say that he was able, at a certain time each day, to project what he called his conscious body from his material body This conscious body was at once surround cd by phantoms, most of them strane gers to him, but some of whom re- xembled dead friends.

INDIGO IN COLONIAL TIMES.
lt Was Looked Upon as Sort o9 Cur
 rent Coin.

The colonial ladies were great gar deners, and the hours they passed with their fruits and flowers must have been moments of much pleasure in their busy lives. says Longmanis Magazine. The most famous of these ladies was the dau Inter of George Lucas,a planter of Carolina, and at the same time governor of Antigua, at which place he appears to have resided, leaving Miss Eliza at home. From Antigua he sent her all sorts of tropical seeds of fruits and flowers, to try if any would take kindly to the soil Of Carolina. Eliza observed certain hopeful signs with re gard to the indigo and undismayed by repeated accidents to the young plants, at length obtained a good crop. Gov. Lucas was so delighted at this un- looked for success that he sent over an Englishman to teach Eliza the whole process of indigo working. The Eng lishman, bearing gifts. seems to hays been a rather sly and tricky sort of person, but when did England ever get the better of America? The youth ful Miss Lucas saw through the Eng lishman's dodges, (his name was Grom- welD, and finally obtained a success ful knowledge and application of the complex and annoying methods of ex~ tracting indigo" A bounty of Sd pound encouraged the planting, and through it's profits more children were sent over from Carolina to be educated at home than from all the colonies put together. Indigo was looked upon at last as sort of current coin, and it is on record that when little boy was sent to school at Philadelphia, he took with aim a wagon of indigo to pay his expenses.

Billed With Boiisrs Acids That Fat
 Boats to Pieces.
 A strange lake exists in the center of Sulphur island, off New zea. and. II Is 50 acres in extent, about 12 feet in depth and 15 feet above the level of the sea. The most remarkable char aeteristie Of this lake is that the water contains vast quantities of hydro chloric and sulphuric acids, missing and bubbling at a temperature of 11G degrees Fanfenheit The dark green celored water looks particularly unin yiting. Dense clouds of su1phurie fumes constantly roll off this boiling caldron, and care has to be exercised in ap. preaching this lake to avoid the risk Of suffocation. On the opposite side oi the lake may be seen the tremendous blow holes, which, when in full blast present an awe-inspiring sight. The roar of the steam as 1t rushes forth Into the air is deafening, and often huge powders and stones are hurled out to height of several hundred feet by the various internal forces Of na- tnre 4 boat can be launched on the ;ake. and. if proper care be observed the very edges of the blow-holes may De safely explored. Some idea of che strength of the aeid-saturated water of this lake may be gathered from the fact that boat almost dropped tc pieces after all the passengers had beer landed, as the rivets had corroded uu Ses the influence of the acids.
