Kentucky Negro super,t,tion

II log should fall on a negro and kill
him, the chances are that the log would
rot where it might lie, as it would be
hard to find anybody willing to move it.
1t Is belief among negroes that who
ever removes a log or tree that has been
the means Of death will meet a similar
fate, and there are many who share the
superstition. 1t is said a number Of
years ago a man in Harrodsburg, il Is
supposed, attempted to steal log from
some wood pile and while crossing the Icy
street slipped and was killed by it. He
was found the next morning and his body
removed, but for six months or more the
log remained untouched on the side OF
the street, although the weather was
very severe and fuel was scarce among
the darkies.
There is another superstition among
them in regard to transplanting cedar

CeyIon cocoanut Forest.

The tree which gives character to the
landscape in the island Of Ceylon is the
cocoanut palm. whose slender grayish
trunk scars up for 60 or so feet and then
bursts into dense crown Of great feath-
cred leaves, each from 10 to - feet in
length. These palms grow close together
in vast groves, and TO one walking about
under their shade their appearance is
very striking and recalls the comparison
which has been so often made between
forest and a cathedral, for there is n rude
but evident resemblance to architecture
in the lofty aisles formed by the shafts
Of the palms and rooted in by the arched
and densely intermingled foliage. The
sunlight filtering through the lcafy can
opy makes golden green twilight, in
which multitudes OF gaudy butterhic
sport about and fit from cup TO cup OF
the pink campanulate flowers that cover
the ground.

FEAST OF HORSES.
Very Old Festival sti1 Celebrated In
Hindustnn.

Dosera, or the feast of HORSES" is a
very old festival in India. The llindoos
say that on a time long ago the god
Rama went TO war with the king OF
Ceylon and was victorious because his
army had better horses and bullocks than
the kings army. So yearly, at the time
of a new moon. the IIindoos worship the
horses and bullocks.
/ had never heard Of this festival. and
on the morning of Dosera | was sur
prised to find my Arab pony Raja all
trimmed with bright yellow flowers. He
had wreath around his neck. long
pendants Of flowers hung about his ears,
anblets of the same bright flowers were
tied around his legs just above the hoof
and again above the knees, and tiny bou-
quets were tied to the harness in many
places and on the reins too. 1t was pret-
ty, and am sure Raja felt dressed up"
for he was dignifed and quiet all that
day and carried his head a little higher
than usual. Sometimes he does frisky
things, but we are not at all afraid Of
him, for he is intelligent, and if we say,
"Raja! Raia!" in decided tone he seems
TO know that we wish him to be digni-
fed. Raja means king, and we gave
him that name because we think him the
king of Arab ponies.
At Dosera the bullocks, which are as
much used here as horses, had their
horns stained with bright colored paints,
generally a different color for each horn,
and strings Of little tassels OF many diff
ferent colors were tied from the tip Of
one horn TO the tip of the other. or bright
pieces Of ribbon would be used instead Of
the taSsels.
The white hoSses, Of which there are
very many here, and the white bullocks,
too, were painted, some in stars or in
round dots. Others had the rising sun
painted on both sides of their bodies in
red and gold colors. Some horses had
only their tails and names c,aorod, while
q few drivers painted the sides Of the
cart and the wheels also
After all this decorating was finished
the people made pujah to the animals,
which means that they wOrshiped the
horses and the bullOcks. / could not find
any one who would tell me IL they wor-
shipped the carts, too, but think they did.
After this is done the people give each
other presents. which should be OF gold.
but as the people are most OF them too
poor to give gold they give the leaf Of
the gold plant, and that answers very
well.
When evening came. and the coach
man who had trimmed Raja with the
fresh flowers had not received ''back-
sheesh," he felt very much neglected and
sent word to me that it was the custom
of the country TO give the coachman a
donation. | sent lin a rupee and made
him quite happy.-St Nicholas.

The shopIIfters, Harvest.

One Of the judges Of the court of spe-
cial sessions in talking to a friend re-
garding Intellectual efforts Of store own
ers and courts to check shoplifting said:
"No matter how severe we make the pun
ishment il seems impossible to stop these
so called klcptomaniacs. Notwithstand-
ing the large number Of convictions. shop
lifting is on the increase. The owners of
one of the largest department stores in
the city make a charge in their books
each year Of $4,000 to loss by shop
lifters.' That is a big item, but this firm
does not make many mistakes in its
books. This estimate has been reached
after close observation and careful cal
culations and may be regarded as pretty
nearly correct. This firm, too, has abOl-
ished its private detective service. 1t
has decided that $4,000 worth Of goods
will be stolen from its counters annually,
detectives or no detectives. 1t figures
that with the detectives it is apt to
have other big losses. \ detective anx-
ious to make a showing will often arrest
