Negro Superstition.

Many of the negro superstitions 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 I went right out an planted my peppahs. an they come right up" Still another saying is that peppers to prosper must be planted by a redheaded or by a high tempered person.
 The negro also says that one never sees a jaybird on Friday, for the bird visits his satanic majesty to ''pack kin 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 2d of February. that hoe must not be carried through house or a death will follow ard that potatoes must be plant cd in the dark Of the moon as well as ali vegetables that ripen in the ground and that corn must be planted in the light of the moon.

sone o1d Georgia superstitions,

Here is a contribution in the shape of folklore gossip as heard among the Georgia crackers. It is survival of the old English superstitions:
 When it is ebb tide, the slits in a cats eyes are horizontal; when it is food tide, they are vertical. Kill frog, and it will rain hard for three days. If cock walks in at the door, turns around and crows, he announces a death in the family. Potatoes will not thrive unless they are planted ln the dark of the moon, and child born at the full of the moon will be boy.
 If you open an umbrella in a house, the only person present will die, and the same thing will happen if you hang a coat or hat on a doorknob or door, bell It is not wise to set hen during a certain part of August, because the life of the world Is at its lowest then If two persons going hand in hand meet an obstacle which divides them, the one on the left will go to hell and the one on the right to heaven.
 If you drop pair of scissors and one point sticks in the floor, a visitor will come from the direction toward which the other leg is extended. A child that has never seen its father can cure whooping cough by blowing down the patients throat. To get rid of freckles count them and put an equal number of pebbles into a paper. Whoever steps un the paper will get the freckles.

CURE SICK HEADACHE.
Getting Personal.

The favorite Scottish method of deal- Ing with sleepers in church was pub- llcly to denounce the dellnquents. The Christian Leader tells this story:
 When the Rev. Walter Dunlap. min ister of a United Presbyterian church in DumfrieS, saw member of his flock holding while he was preaching, he stopped suddenly and said:
 "I doot some O ye hae taen over mony whey porridge the day. Sit up, or I'll name ye ootp'
 Another Caledonian preacher. on like provOcation, cried out, Hold up yer heads. my friends, and mind that nei- ther saints nor sinners are sleeping in the next world"
 Then, finding that this general ex- hortation was insufficient to deter a certain well known member of the church from getting his nights rest forward. the reverend gentleman turn ed toward the offender and said:
 James Stewart, this is the second time have stopped to waken ye. If need to stop a third time. I'll expose yc by name 10 the whole congregation"

R.attIesnake Story.

Tn Life and Sport on the Pacific Coast" Horace 4. Vaehell relates one of his narrow escapes from a friends bullet: My cousin and I had been camping and hunting for several days in sort of paradise valley. One day. during a lCng ride on horseback, we had seen 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- TOT struck. watching the sinuous 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 it was not a snake at all-only the black and yellow stripe of my blanket. which gently rose and fell as I breathed. Had he fired-wel, it might have been bad for me, for he confessed that his hand shook"

WASHDAY WISDOM.

A very hot iron should never be used for f1annels or woolens.
 Calicoes, ginghams and chintZes should be ironed on the wrong side.
 Clotheslines are made much more durable by boiling for ten minutes be- fore they are used.
 Table linen should be ironed when quite damp and irOned with very hot and very heavy iron.
 Irons should not be allowed to be- come redhot, as they will never retain the heat properly afterward.
 Embroideries should be ironed on a thin, smooth surface over thick flannel and only on the wrong side.
 Linen may be made beautifully white by the use of little refined borax in the water instead of using a washing fluid.
 Wash fabrics that are inclined to fade should be soaked and rinsed in very salt water, to set the color, before washing in the suds.
 Silken fabrics, especially white silk handkerchiefs, should not be damp ened. but ironed with a moderately warm iron when taken from the line.

A SUCCESSFUL MAN
How He Attained His Present
 EnvidbIe Position

Honesty, aggressiveness and health are the requisites for success"
 These are the words of John H. Riley, of Cazenovia, N. Y., who has at- tained the main thing that all men de- sire. 'The first two qualities 1 men tion are necessary" he continued, If man or a woman wants to rise in life, but they are of little use if the third is not in your possession"
 In response to questions he said
 About two years ago l was taken down with infiammatory rheumatism and was fiat on my back, racked with pain and as helpless as a child for fourteen weeks. During those weeks l suffered as only they who have in flammatory rheumatism can suffer-
 Didn't you have any medical at tendance?" queried the reporter.
 "Yes, l had the best that could be procured, but the doctors did not help me-"
 But how did you become cured?"
 Before I was taken sick I had seen advertisements of Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People which stated that they were good for rheumatism. l was willing to try anything for relief so got some and was benefited almost immediately. I had taken but six boxes when 1 was able to return to my work, but continued taking them till nine boxes were used up. 1 was entirely cured and have had no return of the trouble since. I consider Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People a wonderful remedy, and I have re- commended them to a great many people,"
 Rheumatism has been cured in hun dreds of other instances by Dr. Will lians' Pink Pills for Pale People. They are specific, not only for that disease but for all ailments arising from a dis ordered condition of the blood or shat tered nerves. such as locomotor ataXia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sci atica, neuralgia, nervous headache, the after-effects of the grip, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complex ions and all forms of weakness either in male or female.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People are sold in boxes at 90 cents a box or six boxes for S2.50, and may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr. Williams Medicine O., Schenectady, N. Y.

cnmnletelx con.oIed.


 Tn his volume of "reminiscences '"The Eccentricities of Genius" Major Pond tells the following story of Clara Lou lse Kellogg:
 "On our arrival at St. Paul, while waiting in the hotel parlors to be as- signed to our rooms. William. our piano tuner, came to me, with tears running down his face. He was in deep dis tress. He must leave us at once and 20 back to New York. His brother had died. Miss Kellogg, seeing the poor fellow, immediately came to his relief. What is it, WilliamY she asked. My brother is dead. I must go home.' When did he dieY asked Miss Kellogg. T did not get the letter until just now. 1t has been forwarded from Omaha. He has been buried two weeks
 Miss Kellogg tried to persuade him that he could be of no assistance in hurrying home now, that in a short time we would all be back, and he would be better off to remain with the company. Besides, we could not spare him, as there was no one to take his place. He was persistent, being a superstitious young German. Miss Kel- Iogg said at last, Now, William, come with me- She walked out with him to dry goods store, bought piece of black crape and tied it on his arm in very elaborate bow. She made him get a silk hat and have it trimmed with crane. In half an hour William was back among us, decorated in full mourning and completely consoled. The entire company were sympathizing with him. He was almost happy, and the rest of us were satisfied and pleased"

When nerrinss Were Plenty.

In former days herrings were So abundant in Newfoundland waters that tue most wanton slaughter of them was permitted without any restriction whatever Seines were allowed to re- tain 1000 or 2,O00 barrels of the fish until they perished. and then the net was freed, and the whole contents fell to the bottom to pollute the ocean for miles around. When a poaching smack was captured, the herrings it had on board were all thrown into the sea, and frequently boats when chased reSorted to the same means to get rid of incrim- mating evidence. The fish then fetched only 50 cents a barrel of 800 herrings. or ten for a cent.--Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Scotch Thrift.

The city council of Auckland placed price on the head of every rat In the city. and a grocer's boy became per feet Nimrod and slew about 30. At the risk of contracting the plague he car ried his dead along. obtained the scalp money and came back jubilant to his master and told him how much be had made. The master cast upon him an eye of Aberdeen gray. and then re- marked quietly, "Weel. weel. ye'n just pay the money to our cashier. for ye ken the rats is mine. rot yours -"-Syd- ney Bulletin.

When Marriage Is Not a Drawback.

This is what young lady is reported recently to have said, apropos of mar riage: 'Well, no. don't know if I would marry for money alone, but if man had plenty of money, allied to a sweet dispo- sition, and a mustache that curled at both ends and nice blue eyes and social po- sition; if he had a distinguished status in a profession or even as a merchant, and his father was rich and his mother and sisters aristocratic, and he wanted to marry me, and he would promise to let me have my own way in everything and keep me literally supplied with money and have splendidly furnished town house and handsome country residence, was liberal about diamonds and other gems, also about the milliner, never grum- bling, and l really ard truly loved him, I shouldn't consider marriage a draw back.

ANOTHER WONDER OF SCIENCE.
Biology has Proved that Dandrua' is
 Caused by a Germ.

Science is doing wonders these days in medicine as we'll as in mechanics. Since Adam delved, the human race has been troubled with dandruff, for which no hair preparation has hereto fore proved a successful cure until Newbro's Herpicide was put on the market. It is a scientific preparation that kills the germ that makes dand- ruff or scurf by digging into the scalp to get at the root of the hair, where it saps the vitality; causing itching scalp, falling hair, and finally badness. Without dandruff hair must grow lux uriantly.- Herpicide at all druggists. It is the only destroyer of dandruff.

Without n Ring.

4 wedding without a ring seems in- congruous. but in CadiZ. Spain. no ring is used. After the ceremony the bride groom moves the flower in his brides hair from left to right, for in various parts of Spain to wear a rose above your right ear is to proclaim yourself wife. Thus the rose takes the place of the ring.
