In his volume of "reminiscences 1.-THE
Eccentricities of Genius" Major Pond
tells the following story of Clara Lou
lse Kellogg:
ION 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
go back to New York. His brother had
died. Miss Kellogg, seeing the poor
fellow, Immediately came to his relief.
What is it, William? she asked. My
brother is dead. 1 must go home
When did he die? asked Miss Kellogg.

it has been forwarded from Omaha.
He has been buried two weeks
''NIiss 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 Grape and tied it on his arm in a
very elaborate bow. She made him get
a silk hat and have it trimmed with
Grape. 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"

WASHDAY WISDOM.

A very hot iron should never be used
for f1annels or woolens.
Calicoes, ginghams and chintzes
should be lroned 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 a 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 n
thin, smooth surface over thick flanne
and only ON the wrong side.
Linen may be made beautifully white
by the use of little refined borax il
the water instead of using a washing
fluid.
Wash fabrics that are inclined tt
fade should be soaked and rinsed il
very salt water, to set the color, befor,
washing in the suds.
Silken fabrics, especially white sill
handkerchiefs, should not be damp
ened, but ironed with q moderated.
warm iron when taken from the line.

Negro Suncrstition.

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

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 Il jaybird en- Friday. for the bird
visits his satanic majesty to pack kin

in which negroes place implicit trust
are the well known ones of the ground
hogs appearing above ground on the

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

Here is a contribution in the shape of
folklore gossip as heard among the
Georgia crackers. 1t is a survival of
the old English superstitions:
When it is ebb tide, the Sits in a

frog, and it will rain hard for three

turns around and crows, he announces
a death in the family. Potatoes will
not thrive unless they are planted in
the dark of the moon, and child born
at the full of the moon will be boy

the same thing will happen if you hang

The favorite Scottish method of deal

Then, finding that this general ex-
Eortation was insufficient to deter q
certain well known member of the
church from getting his nights rest
forward. the reverend gentleman turn
ed toward the offender and said:

time l have stopped to waken ye. If

a Ratt1esnake Story.

In Life and Sport on the Pacific
Coast" Horace 4. Vachell relates one
of his narrow escapes from a friends
bullet: MY cousin and l had been
camping and hunting for several days
in sort Of paradise valley. One day.
during a 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 RATHER crawling across my chest.
He lay for a moment fascinated, hor-
ror 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 snake at
all-only the black and yellow stripe of
my blanket, which gently rose and fell
as l breathed. Had he fired-well, it
might have been bad for me, for he
confessed that his hand shook"
