Negro SnperstIfInn.

Many Of the negro superstltlons in
Kentucky are quite interesting. An
old philosopher told me with great
gravity: IF you want peppahs to grow,
you must git mad. My old oman an
me had a spat. an | went right out
an planted my peppahs. an they come
right up" Still another saying Is that
peppers to prosper must be planted
by redheaded or by high tempered
person.
The negro also says that one never
sees a jayblrd on Friday, for the bird
visits his satanic majesty to pack kim
ding" on that day. The three signs
In which negroes place implicit trust
are the well known ones of the ground
hogs appearing above ground on the
"a OF February. that hoe must not be
carried through house or a death will
follow and that potatoes must be plant
ed In the dark Of the moon as we'll as
all vegetables that ripen In the ground
and that corn must be planted In the
light Of the moon.

QUEEN ELlzABETH'S FAULTS
she Was Very vain and InordinateIy
Fond of Fine Dress.

Yet Elizabeth was never really sue
cessful with her wardrobe as more
feminine woman might have been. Her
dresses were never beautiful, only lu-
dicrously and most lnappropriately
magnificent laden with Jewels, weight
ed down with cloth Of gold, stiff with
silver embroidery and 80 heavy that
even her big, powerful frame must,
without supporting vanity. have felt
the fatigue OF carrying them about.
Elizabeth was certainly vain. but she
cannot claim femlnnity merely on that
account, for vanity IS by no means an
exclusively feminine Characteristic
There are perhaps more vain women
than vain men because women have
more leisure and their costumes afford
greater opportunities for vanity than
the strangely hideous clothing which
custom has arranged for men, but no
thoughtful (femlnlne) observer can
doubt that n vain man is vaincr than a
vain woman.
Ellzabeth's hands were her especial
pride, and. judging from her portraits.
they were certainly beautiful. They
were laden with Jewels, and it was her
habit In public 10 pull her rings of
with absent artlessness and push them
on again, moving those whitc hands
about In the most obvious way. once,
during the grave consideration of
state paper, wherein her cold sagacity
never took second place, she interrupt
ed the discussion to ask whether the
Duo d'Anjou, who was at one time one
of her suitors, had been told what n
pretty foot she had and how white and
well rounded was her arm? This in
the woman who financed the armada
with hard headed economy, who dared
the superstitious terrors of her own
conscience In her high handed and in-
pudent treatment of the bishops, whose
interest In methods Of torture for state
prisoners was most mechanical and in
telllgent. entirely unhampered by any
squcamish feminine hesitation as TO
blood or pain. Is most curious.
In connection with this last charac-
teristlc of cruelty vanity Is not at all
unprecedented. Indeed. II one observe
closely one will notice that excessively
vain persons have almost always n
strange inclination toward cruelty.
The accounts of what Queen Elizabeth
permitted and indeed commanded In
this respect will hardly bear reading
by us sensitive folk today Margaret

slavery Protected the Negro.

II the negro had been forced to com.
pete FOR existence In America. he would
have been crushed out 10y the civilized
power, as the Indian has been, says
Albert Phelps Ia The Atlantic, but the
peculiar institution OF slavery protect
ed him not only from this competition,
but also, by artificial means, from those
great forces OF nature which inevitably
weed out the weaker organisms and
which operate most unrostralnedly up
on the ignorant savage. For the first
time. perhaps, In the history OF the
world human beings had been bred ana
regulated like valuable stock, with as
much care as IS put upon the best
horses and cattle As a natural conse-
quoncc the sanitary condition OF the
negro during slavery was remarkable.
especially 10y contrast with his present
condition. ana his growth was the abb
normal growth OF liant abnormally
raised IN dollhouse. when, therefore,
this mass OF helpless beings was
thrown upon It's own resources by the
act OF emancipation and when the pro-
lection OF slavery had been withdrawn,
the dlrcst wrctchedness and suffering
followed.

A RsttIesnake story.

In Life and Sport on the Pacific
Coast" Horace a. Vachell relates one
OF bis narrow escapes from friends
bullet: MY cousin and had been
camping and hunting for several days
In n sort Of paradise valley. one day,
during q long ride on horseback. we
had seen a great many rattlesnakes
and killed a few, an exceptional ex-
perience. That night my cousin woke
up and saw by the light Of the moon. a
big rattler crawling across my chest.
He lay for a moment fascinated, hor-
ror struck. watching the slnuous curves
OF the reptile.
Then he quietly reached for his six
shooter. but he could not see the rep
tiles head. and he moved nearer, noise
lessly, yet quickly, dreading some
movement on my part that should pre-
cipitate the very thing he dreaded. and
then he saw that il was not snake at
all-only the black and yellow stripe OF
my blanket, which gently rose and fell
as / breathed. Had he fired-well, Ii
might have been bad for me. for he
confessed that his hand shook"

is that the pilots would be justified
in risking collision with the fishing
boats rather than venture so close
10 the rocks on the sides.
The lives Of a few sailors only
would have been Tisked b. the War
ren striking the fishing boats. while
the safety OF about 900 men, many OF
them helpless invalids. was imperiled
by turning the Warren out Of the
fair way and thereby running on 10
the rocks.
When the Nippon Maru left Yoko
hama, November 18th. divers had
been sent below to examine the hulls
OF both the Warren and Hancock. The
Warren was found to have thirty
plates damaged. while the Hancock
had at least seventy-five injured. In
asmuch as an inspection by a diver
could not be thorough it is thought
that the damage to both transports
will be found when they are placed
on the dry dock to be much more ex-
tensiyc.

CATION by sulphur before the wharf S

tendent Denison OF the Oahu Railroad
and Wharf Superintendent Denison
were present with gang of men from
the railway forces TO assist Superin
tendent McYefgh in the work.
Preparatory 10 the visit OF the
plant. the wharf had been made ali
tight, as was done in the case of the
Oceanic dock. All possible outlets by
which the sulphur fumes could escape
were carefully looked after and cover
ed by tarred paper and wood. Smaller
leaks were attended to by brigade
provided with buckets of tar and
brushes. That there has been a rad
ical increase in the death rate among
rodents about the wharyes resulting
from the cam paign against rates Is
generally believed by the quarantine
officials.

Wind Against Steam.

Wind and steam were pitted against
each other yesterday in the departure
Of the steam freighter Tampico. and
the German ship Lita. from this port
for the Sound.
The vessels left the harbor within
a half hour of each other yesterday
morning The Lita was towed sever
al miles out to sea by the tug Fear
less. The Tampico having completed
loading. steamed out from the Rail
way wharf and through the channel
following the Lita.
The windjammer. with sails set
and catching the fun benefit OF the
kona prevailing at the time, cut
through the water at rapid rate. The
blunt bowed freighter also plowed
along, and the pair apparently were
steaming away together.
Some time later the vessels were
sighted of Diamond Head. and were
still doing the tandem act. While
there was no indication OF a race and
no pools were sold for the event, nev-
ertheless honors were strictly even
while the vessels remained in sight
OF the Islands.

Steamship men now look with blase

also an interest in the Atlantic trans
