The Belief In Charms.

A belief In charms has existed in all
ages and has been shared by all peo-
pies. 1t is a natural result of supersti-
ton. The phylacteries worn by Mo-
hammedan and Jewish women on the
forehead form but one phase of this
universal belief. Faith, however, Is
deemed essential and is true of all tai
ismans that are copied from old pat
terms and not constructed according to
the rules of the cabalistic art.
Talismans to be efficaciOus must be
constructed when the planets are In
benefc configuration. 1t is then that
the magic geometrical words and fig
ures inscribed thereon are more potent
In their results for good. The date of
birth of the person for whom the tails
man Is made must also be considered,
SO that his particular lucky star is TAX
en- into consideration.
Many great men were believers In
talismans and wore them constantly.
Napoleon especially was very supersti-
tious and carried on his person charm
given to him by an Egyptian priest,
which he regarded as being RESPONSE
BILE for his great success in battle. The
Rothschild family, 1t is said, also has
a talisman, which is an heirloom. 1t Is
In the shape Of snuffbox and is said
to have brought the family the great
wealth for which it is celebrated.-New
York Herald.

a peasant struck dead in The field by MS
plough, and his soul taking flight from
his body in the form of an ideaEZ1d nude
woman.
The Paris correspondent Of the New York
Tribune sends the following description
of the two prizes by Guillor which deco
rate the grand entrance to the Exposition.
They represent the workers Of the world
bringing the fruits OF their labor to the
Paris Exposition:
1.-The design is 4 literal fuIfiment OF
the idea. From each Side procession CT
toilers IS advancing the steady march of
progress. The carpenter comes with his
hammer and square, the builder with his
beam. the mason with his bricks and the
painter with his pot, the fisher with his
net, the smith with his tongs and iron,
the eiller with his grain and fruit and
garden produce.
The subject was not rich in possihili.-
ties. There was. indeed, no choice but to
depict the material This VI. Guillot did
not seek to evade. He met the problem
squarely, and dealt successfully with it,
The work is accurate in every detail: IL is
life. Yet the effect is produced, rare III
painting and rarer in sculpture, of the
realistic, which is, withalr ideal The men
are types that one meets on every hand;

Information about the musical prepare
tons for the Paris Exposition is not vol
luminous An outline of some of the
regulations was printed in this journal on
March 18th. Since then we learn that
the official orchestra will number 23o
pieces. and that this band and choirs OF
singers will give ten concerts in the large
room of the Trocadero, under the d.rec-
ton of N. Taffanel. The choral and
chamber music concerts are to be devoted
chiefly to modern French music, and in
this department preference will be given
to the works of living composers Two
committees are at work organizing con-
crosses of music and music historians.
The opening of the Grau opera season in
London has been postponed from May ith
to May tith and this. as q local journal
remarks, has given rise to ridiculous ru-
nlors that owing to the war the season
may not be held at all. These rumors seem
even to have reached the Prince of Wales,
who caused inquiries to be made ard at
once learned the truth. The Prince is
very strongly in favor of the opera sea-
