The Monentous Part They Play In
Human Affairs.

| London Truth. When Sir Charles
Napier had conquered Mehemet Ali, he
found it impossible to force or coax
the willy EGYPTIAN into signing the
treaty which only would make his vic
| tory effective. He had 10 interviews
with Mehemet, in which the English
| man by turns argued, flattered and
lthreatened his antagonist, who listened
| day after day with the same inlmov-
able, smiling countenance.
| One day Sir Charles, in speaking Of
England, said casually that it was
governed by lucky woman" A
strange flash passed over the pasha' S
countenanoe, but he made no answer.
AS soon as Napier had gone. Mehemet
sent for the English consul, who was
an Egypt, :, and demanded:
You were in London when the Eng
1ish queen was crowned. Were the
omens bad or goode"
IAN good"
You think that good luck is writ
ten on her forehead?"
Il did not think upon the matter be-
fore, but now that you ask me, be-
ljeve that il iK. When she asked Allah
to help her in her work, her eyes ran
over Allah loves the innocent"
mo doubt of that" said Mehemet,
anxiously "She must be lucky"
Early the next morning he sent for
Sir Charles and signed the treaty. Eng
lish power and English cannon he
could brave, but not 1.-The luck" written
upon the forehead of a good woman
whom he had never seen.
General Gordon's remarkable influ-
ence over the Chinese was in a large
degree due. il is stated, to their be-
lief in his extraordinary luck. During
the Tao-Ping rebellion he was follow
ed by an army which did not compre-
bend either his ability or his religious
zeal. but which believed that he was
protected by an invisible being who led
him to victory. A certain black ebony
cane which he carried was supposed to
be the magic talisman which brought
him victory. and General Gordon was
shrewd enough always to carry this
cane when he led them into battle.
These superstitions seem absurd to
us, but they at least show that the ig-
norant men who hold them believe in
an invisible power who can give good
or i'll fortune at his will Are they
more foolish than the educated, busy
man. who recognizes no power in life
stronger than his own will and effort?

FOLKLORE IN THE SOUTH.
Continuation Traditions Among the
Older Negro People.

Modern Culture: The stern frown OF
the preacher, who looks upon surersti-
ton as the ally of the evil one, the
scornful sneer of the teacher, who sees
in it part of the livery OF bondage,
have driven this quaint combination OF
ancestral traditions to the remote chin
ney corners of old black aunties. from
which it is difficult for the stranger 10
unearth them. Mr.. Harris, in his Uncle
Remus stories, has, with fine literary
discrimination, collected and put into
pleasing and enduring form the planta-
ton stories which dealt with animal
lore. but so little attention has been
raid to those dealing with so-cal!ed con-
duration that they seem in falr way
to disappear without leaving trace be-
hind. The loss may not be very great,
but these vanishing traditions might
furnish valuable data for the socialo-
gist in the future study Of racial deyei-
opment.

Paris Letter: The couturiers of late
have shifted altogether the responsible
ity of neck rigging. They seem to re-
gard the fashioning of neck con-
fections more as an art all
to itself so they leave it to the
skilled confectioneres' taste to put
the finishing touches at the neck and
sleeves of corsages. The usual blouse
comes from the courturiers with the
simplest silk binding at the neck and
the dressier corsages for the most part
boast only a well fitting collar that
amounts to hardly more than a founda-
ton for some fluffy detachable confec-
tion.
The well equipped summer wardrobe
includes such an array or detachable
collars, fichus. sleeve puffs, belts, sashes
that come under the general head OF
accessories. They represent a pretty
penny if they have been fashioned by a
skilled confectionere and yet amateur
ish fingers are apt to make such botch
of counterfeiting them. They are no
longer classified among the luxuries,
but belong to the category Of necessities
these days.
There is less of the severe about neck
riggings this summer and the girl who
affects the stiff starched choker that
so mars her white throat does it from
perverse motives. Even the crisp tailor
made shirt waist doesn't call for a
severe stock or collar. There are some

too much Of the former. Delaney drove
into Russlow's stable in the evening much
the worse for too frequent visits to a GER
tain jug that he had with him, the con-
tents Of which he freely offered to those
about. Officer Ketcham was summoned
and advised John TO dep art for home at
once, but John resented the imputation
that he was drunk and drove around for
the purpose Of having DIR. Scott examine
his condition. ketcham then arrested
him, but allowed him to go home on his
promise TO be on hand at the hearing
Monday. Delaney forgot all about the
matter, and the officers had TO go and re-
mind him. He pleaded guilty to a sec
ond offence of intoxication and first
offence OF furnishing, and his fines and
costs amounted to 1881 in each case,
which he paid.

child's Custody.

Two years ago, Luna Gibbons obtained a
divorce from Louis Gibbons. OF the -four
children, one, Ethel, had been placed, with
the consent OF both parents, with Mrs.
Constance Sears OF West Braintree Last
Thursday the mother, who has since mar
ried a Mr.. Proctor Of South STAFFORD,
drove TO the Sears home and tried to in
duce her daughter TO come away with her,
The girl jumped from the buggy after a
struggle and ran into the house, where
Mrs. Sears sheltered her.
Then Mrs. Proctor produced papers
showing that al the time OF the divorce
she had been granted legal custody of the
child, and in consideration of this and 80
in money and 80 note given by the Proc
tors, Mrs. Sears gave up the girl, who rode
of with her mother.
Louis Gibbons, being acquainted with
the facts. at once secured a writ of habeas
corpus, which was issued by Judge Rowel,
commanding that the girl be produced be-
fore him and evidence submitted to show
why she should be held by the Proctors
Monday. the hearing was held, divers
relatives and witnesses being present. VI.
VI. Wilson represented Gibbons and j. ID.

The Proctors produced the original de-
cree Of divorce, which did give the custody
OF Ethel to he mother, and also introduced
Geo. Stow Of Chelsea, who testified that
dlthough the county Cltfks EtcoFus ulu
not. up to last Saturday night, show such
to be the fact, the error was then discover
ed and rectiiication made.
This came as a surprise 10 Gibbons at
torney, y no was relying on the court rec
ords. He asked for a recess for eonsidera-
ton, which was granted. On the resump-
ton Of the hearing, Gibbons counsel pre-
sented petition praying for a revocation
OF the former order Of the court on the
grounds Of the mothers moral unfitness to
have custody Of the child. Judge Rowell
named July 26th as the date for hearing
this petition and on application Of Glib
bons' counsel and after examining the
girl a. to her wishes. directed her into the
custody Of Mrs. Sears, pending the decis-
ion.
