LETTERS AND FIGURES.

A curious feature of superstition, re-
gardless of its form, lies in the fact that
no one, is so tolerant of his own pet
notion as the believer in signs and omens,
while no one is so intolerant of the SUI
perstitions of others. The man who will
laugh at a friend who treasures a horse
shoe found in the road will himself feel
uncomfortable at hearing a dog howl in
the night. The woman who is unmoved
at seeing the new moon through the
trees will hesitate to pick up a pin by
the point. Every ship has it's MASCOT,
and no regiment Of troops Is without
some object in which there is belief that
it brings good luck. And how common
the notion is that, somebody or some
thing is 'hoodoo" bringing Ill luck.
Many superstitions have had begin
ming in a mere coincidence to which was
attached undue Importance, of which
those about figures and letters furnish
good Illustrations. The figures 8, Z, 10
and IA are prominent in groupings of
events in the Bible
In the days of Napoleon's glory the
letter en- was believed to be lucky, and
it was a popular ornament in jewelry
and extensively worn. Napoleon seemed
to have fancy for men whose names
began with t'm,'' as no less than twenty
six of his generals and six Of his field
marshals began with that letter. Several
of his greatest victories were won i'll
March and May, and many important
events in his varied career occurred in
those months, until it became a super
stition connected with him.
Napoleon III. was also conspicUously
connected with persons and events be-

1t is well to be careful of ones com

that lives with wolves learns to howl
1t is we'll to be just; an ancient motto
says: 1.-The just man will prosper in
spite of envy
1t is well to be generous; Goethe says:
He who does nothing for others does
nothing for HIMSELF" Plato SAYS: "He

and gains by nothing but what is Just,
Will hardly be notably wealthy or dis

1t is well to be reasonable; Hare says:
Instead of watching the bird as it flies

not grasp it, We conclude it is nothing"
It is we'll to be firm; Spurgeon says:

1t is well to be brave in misfortune;
Goethe says: "In spite Of all misfortune.
there is still enough to satisfy one''
It is we'll to be neither too expectant

It IS well to brush UP against the

Franklin said Honesty is the best poll
cy. If you cannot be honest because it
is right, be honest for policy sake. Sir
Benjamin Rudyard once said: mo man
is bound to be rich or great-no, nor to be
wise; but every man is bound to be

MONUMENT-The cornerstone of the
Washington monument, the highest Ia
the world, was laid July 4. 1S4S. Work
progressed steadily for about six wears
until the funds of the monumental So
clety became exhausted. At that tine
the monument was about IT'S feet high
From 1854 until 1879 nothing to speak Of
was done on the building In the year
last above named congress voted an ap-
preparation of $1,000 600 to complete the
work From that time forward work pro-
crossed at rapid rate until Dec. 6.
1854, when the aluminium apex was set at
900 feet 512 inches from the fundation and
the work declared finished. The founda-
ton is 1861 feet square; number of stones
used above the 130-foot level, 9,163; total
weight stone used in work, 81, 12O tons.
TUNNELS-The largest tunnel in
America is the Hoosac, under Hoosac
mountain In the northwestern corner of
Massachusetts. 1t is four and three
fourths miles long, through solid rock,
and cost about 10000 0O0. It was begun
in 1851 and completed IN 1875. Twelve
hundred and fifty incandescent electric
lamps serve for it's illumination. The
Fitchburg railroad runs through 1t, hav-
ing two tracks. The largest tunnel in Eu-
rope is the st. Gothard, under a mountain
of that name in Central Switzerland It is
nine and one-third miles long 1t was
begun in 1872 and opened in 1892 The
tunnel under Mont Gents in the Savoyan
Alps, is eight miles long, and was open
ed in 1857 The Simplon tunnel, now
being made, will, when completed be
twelve and one-fourth miles long The
mountain is II 124 feet in height; and the
South pass lover which Napoleon I. led
his army into italy, is 6,S55 feet above
the sea. The total number of tunnels is
now nearly one thousand. Great Britain
has 40, embracing S7A miles; France has
251, aggregating 50 Clio miles; America
has upward of III. with a total measure

This was crowned by the Hungarian
academy as the best Magyar novel Of
the year 1890 1t takes high rank among
the authors $50 works of fiction. The
peculiar title of the book has reference
to the eyes of the heroine, Bessy, a girl
of gentle parentage, yet of perverse,
adventurous disposition, which, during
the course of the story, leads her five
times into matrimony; the five husbands
representing almost every class of So
ciety from the peasant to the nobleman
She is, indeed, the pivot on which the
narrative turns; is both hero and heroine,
as she partakes of the subtler qualities
of both sexes. The second though un-
acknowledged hero Is Maurice Jokai
himself; his story being generally. if not
circumstanrially, photographed. In
his youth he had loved Bessy She re-
