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 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 high tempered
person.
The negro also says that one never
sees jaybird 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
I'd Of February, that hoe must not be

ed in the dark of the moon as well as
all vegetables that ripen in the ground

An Ant For . Pet.
)DS0lUIEr-sPURE
) the food :..ore delicious and wholesome

One of the queerest little pets ever
seen Is the tame ant belonging to well
known scientist. This man keeps tribes
of ants in nests which he has made
himself and feeds them with honey or
sugar through tube that connects
with the nests. One day he saw that
one Of the ants kept coming into the
tube to eat up the honey in the glass
bulb at the end. When he took out the
cork that closed the bulb, the insect
came to look for the food, and he Offer
ed it some honey on the point Of a
needle, says the New York Tribune.
The ant shrank back at first, then
drew nearer, feeling about with it's an
tenn@, until it reached the needle.
Soon 1t learned to take the honey OF
its keepers finger, although ants are
among the most timid of living things,
and new odor or the least movement
outside their nests usually drives these
little insects away.
This ant is now so tame that 1t quits
the bulb as soon as the cork is removed
and goes to find the honey on the SCI
entist's finger. When its meal is over,
IT does not try to hurry away, but
waits till its master lifts it on a bristle
and carries it back to its nest.

during a long ride on horseback, we
had seen great many rattlesnakes

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 moment fascinated, hor.
ror struck, watching the sinuous curves
Of the reptile.

movement on my part that should pre-

then he saw that it was not snake at

my blanket, which gently rose and fell
as I breathed. Had he fired-well, it
might have been bad for me, for he

Admiral Howison Repudiates Inter.
view Attributed to Him.
Washington, Sept. 2.-Acting secre-
itary Hackett has made public a letter
received from Admiral Howison dated
Yonkers, N. Y, Aug. "a, denying au-
thenticity of the interview attributed
to him in which he is made to com.
ment adversely on Admiral Schley.
The acting secretary has, therefore,
continued Admiral Howison as mem
Der of the schley court Of inquiry,
leaving the court itself to determine
any further question as to his compe-
tency.
The correspondence was sent to Ad-
miral Schley, who discussed it with
his counsel. Later in the day the fol-
lowing announcement was made:
admiral Schley's counsel is entire
ly dissatisfied with >..e position Of Ad-
miral Howison as disclosed in his let
ter to Acting Secretary Hackett, made
public during the day"
The lawyers hold that It Is not q
comprehensive denial Of the state
ments attributed to Aumiral Howison,
nor, they. say, does it disclose suf1-
ciently the admiral's freedom from
bias. It is probable they will set forth
these objections in q letter to the act
ing secretary of the navy.

Lord southey,s auillottne.

The most eccentric action Of an eccen-
tric man was Lord Southey's cool ar
rangement for suicide by means Of q
guillotine. He had a magnificent one
erected in the drawing room Of his
house in the Rue du Luxembourg at
Paris. The machine was of ebony in
laid with gold and silver, the frame
work carved with artistic skill, the
knife, sharp as a razor, was of polished
and ornamented steel. Preparing for
death, his lordship had his hair cut
close, and, clothed in a robe of white
silk, he kneeled upon the platform
under the knife before mirror and
pressed the spring which should release
the knife. But the spring failed to
work, and the would be suicide decided
to give the guillotine to museum in
stead of making a second attempt to
end his life. It is said that he made
an annual pilgrimage to see the guillo-
tine until the end of his life.

to Arrange Any Differences Which
May Exist Between the Two coun.

Said to Have Been Received.

Washington, Sept. 3.-It Is ascer-
tanned that on Aug. "a, during Secre-
tary Hays recent visit to Washington,
q telegraphic message was sent to the
ministers at Caracas and Bogota, d.
recting them to inform the foreign
secretaries Of Venezuela and Colombia
Of the distress with which the presi-
dent had heard of the likelihood Of a
disturbance of the relations between
those two republics. Adverting to the
possibility of the influence of the Unit
ed States being exerted to compose
the pending questions, the ministers
were directed to say that, while the
relations Of this government with both
nations are equally intimate and
friendly and every opportunity is
taken to show the good will we bear
them, an offer Of the presidents kindly
offices to arrange any differences
which may exist between Colombia
and Venezuela would be ineffective
without the acquiescence of both.
Nevertheless, inspired by the senti-
ments which are common to all the
governments of the American repub-
|. lies, the United States would sincerel'
deplore breach of the amicable T.
lations that at this time happily exists
between the sister nations OF the
Western world, and would especially
regret any action by either OF them
which might menace the security OF
transit across the isthmus or the neu-
trality of its territory and thereby
