He Explained.

At school one day teacher, hay
ing asked most of his pupils the diff
ference between an island and PENN
sula without receiving a satisfactory
answer, came to the last boy.
II can explain it, SIR said the bright
youth. First get two glasses. Fill
one with water and the other with
milk. Then catch fly and place II
in the glass of water. That fly is an
island, because it is entirely surround
ed by water. But now place the fly in
the glass of milk, and it will be a
peninsula, because it is nearly sur
rounded by water"

The ReIiefIn Charms


A belief in charms has existed in all
ages and has been shared by all peo-
pies. II 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
beneffc confguration. 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,
BILE for HIS great success in battle. The
Rothschild family, 1t is said, also has
a talisman, which is an heirloom, 1t Is
tn the shape of n snuffbox and Is said
to have brought the family the great
wealth for which it is Celebrated

Playtime In the Senate,

Senator Butler once had bill appro-
prlatlng $1,000 to build a monument on
the Moore's Greek battlefield, North
Carolina, which was an especial object
Of Senator Wolcott's fun.
"Can the senator tell me the date Of
the battle?" he asked Mr.. Butler.
ut was the first battle of the Revo-
luton, 20 days before the battle Of
Lexington" was the reply.
"But cannot the senator tell me the
day and the year" persisted Mr.. VOL
colt.
Mr.. Butler was stumped. 81 can tell
the senator tomorrow" he finally re-
marked.
"Then," replied Mr.. wolcott, II will
let my objection stand until tomorrow
also"
A few minutes later Senator Wolcott
relented. and Mr.. Butler made another
effort to get the appropriation agreed
to. This time It was Senator Lodge
who objected.
"oh, don't object, Lodge" said VOL
colt in stage whisper; hell put the
date of the battle forward q year II
you are Jealous on account Of Lexing-
ton"
But Mr.. Lodge continued to object,
and the monument bill remained on the

Yucntan Ruins,

"Apropos of the wonderful ancient
ruins in Yucatan." said New Orleans
college professor. there Is one very
fortunate circumstance which has pro-
tected them almost entirely from spo-
liation by the Indians. 1t is currently
believed by the natives all through
that part of the country that the ruins
are haunted and that devils will carry
away anybody who attempts to molest
them. This superstition has been en-
couraged by explorers and is a better

and to the working classes because 1t

connection with the congress, Count
