Women and Superstition.

As the most practical Of US have our
pet superstitions we are forced to believe
that there are more things in heaven and
earth than are dreamed Of in our philos-
ophy or that there is some uncanny twist
in our cerebral cOnvolutions which sets
all our hard common sense at fault.
Among our everyday acquaintance are
people who pick up pins, step over cracks
in the sidewalk, fear Friday, look out
ence Of Saturn, and who rap on wood
when they inadvertently boast of good
luck. Others still carry the mystic rab-
bits foot, lucky stone OR au amulet of
some sort.
Looking back in history we. find that
Aspasia, the intellectual Queen of her
day, and Zenobia, a strong minded wom-
an, politician and philosopher, strung
themselves with amulets. George Eliot
was slave to the influence of the hunch-
back and clubfooted man and did no
literary work upon the day when she
saw one. Caroline Herschel firmly be-
lieved that if she met cross-eyed beggar
of a new star that night. Harriet Beech
er Stowe believed that it was bad luck to
throw away toothbrush which had out
lived it's usefulness and to the anguish
of her household preserved every one
that she had ever used. Rosa Bonheur

thony Of Padua as lucky charm,
The late Queen Victoria cherished
them she believed that the removal Of
her wedding ring would surely bring ca
lamity, and that pet Manx cat would
bring good luck to the royal household.
Lady Millais, the. wife of the great
painter, was convinced that the crack
Of doom would sound for anyone who
stepped on a crack in the sidewalk.
Sarah Bernhardt has the dried eye OF a
mummy and an uncut emerald Of great
size which she imagines Is necessary to
her success. Eleanora Duse is sustained
by small copper crucifx wrought in
Siberian prison BY a Russian prisoner
John Oliver Hobbies has q childlike
du god which she wears as charm.
Amalie Kussner, the miniature painter,
wears an ugly bracelet woven OF sill
very white horsehair from the name Of
some sheik's favorite Arab to propitiate
the god Of arr. The millions Of private
citizens have not been heard from, but
these few examples are enough to prove
that it is not alone in heather lands

- In Gay New York. -

Mrs. Astor gave her first dinner Of this
season on Monday night at her home,
842 Fifth avenue. Chrysanthemums
were massed on the table in the tapes
tried dining room. Those seated includ-
ed the Messrs. Shaw and Robinson, Mr..
and Mrs. Wilson, Mrs. Michael Herbert,
Mr.. and Mrs. Edmund l.. Baylies, Mr..
and Mrs. Frank X. Pendleton, Prince
Rispcli, Marquise de Talleyrand-Peri-
CORD, Baron and Baroness Seillere, Count

Astor, Miss Cary, Charles Mum and
Frank Otis.
The new French liner Savoie, which
arrived on her maiden trip, brought
Theo, the former queen Of French opera.
Between ten and twenty years ago Mmc:
Theo was the most celebrated beauty. Of
the Opera Comique in Paris. Time has
laid its hand lightly upon the commedi-
enne. Theo was closely yelled when she
landed on the French line pier. She wore
a wide-brimmed hat and brocaded dark
cloak that almost concealed her travel
ing gown. "What my plans are prefer

tunities to appear in other countries, but

said~Nheo, and she said that she would
remain in New York about three weeks.
A brief summary will serve to give al
idea Of the problem the new administra-
ton will have to solve in placing the
city's affairs on business basis. Sal
aries alone aggregate $44, 100000, or
nearly one-half of the total budget. The
United States army, with 6S,OOO men in
1900, cost less than $18,OOO,OOO. New
York's police force costs two-thirds as
much as the regular army. The extracr-
binary salaries paid are instanced by the
fact that 446 men draw $4,000 or more.
68 Of them $4,000 or more. and cost the
city in the aggregate $3,O22,OOO yearly.
Salaries range much higher than in the
Guiding laborers. New York's employees
average quite little more than $1,000
year.

INDIAN SUMMER,

The year stands still in peace serene.
Half way betwixt. half way between;
Behind her blooms q flower bed
A snow bank blocks her just ahead.
and so half way her feet are set
Betwixt a mem'ry an regret
Tears In her eyes. smiles on her mouth
She STAINS there frontin' north by south.
She STAINS there dreadin' hard to go
An plant her bare feet in the snow.
Then summerward she turns her head
An shifts the roses that are dead.
An so she says. "I'll set right still
a few days on this southward hill"
She sets and dreams of glad release,
A perfect dream Of perfect peace.
Too soon she'll hear the trumpet blow
The storm winds trumpet choked with
An leave her southern hillside warm.
An dash half blinded through the storm.

RAW WORK.
In yesterdays Journal appears tn

In yesterdays Journal appears the
following:
v ashington, Jan. 1o.-Congress-
man Newlands stated today that he
fears that the revival Of the talk
alb. ut lottery in Nevada will have
q d sastrous effect upon his pending |
irr, alton bill, as it has aroused pre-
jud ice on the part of Eastern men
The reader will observe the date on
the above. 1t is January 10Th
which is the correct date for tomor-
row. Now there are two explana-
tons for this discrepancy of dates.
Did Newlands send out lot of tele-
graz hic stuff in advance, explaining
the failure of Congress to give Ne
vada irrigation, with orders to have
it released" on a certain datel In
tina, case the Journal dispatch should
have appeared Sunday morning to
carry out the idea that the Journal is
getting genuine dispatches.
Or did the Journal fake the dis
patch?
These are matters for Mr.. Newlands
and the Journal to explain.
The public will not accept the time
worn Typographical error" theory
which may be advanced in order to
covel the real facts.
Nr. Newlands has been for many
years in Congress and he has not yet
secured a~ingle cent of appropriation
for irrigation in Nevada.
The Irrigation Congress Of Chicago
sent a memorial to Congress relative
to irrigation, and the memorialists
were promptly informed that the pres
ent Congress would do nothing fox IT,
rigation in the arid W.st.
This VAS some months ago and
there was nothing said about lot
terry.
Now comes the talk. according tc
the Journal, that Mr.. Newlands sait
that he feared that he could do moth
ing while there was such a feeling
against lotteries. This is the con
monest kind of buncomb, and tn
APPEAL does not believe that New
lands said anything of the kind.
Congress don't propose to pay it
var debt to Nevada and it don't pro
pose to give US cent for irrigation
and everybody knows it from Main
to Texas. There is but enc way tn
State can get irrigation, and that j
by padding its own canoe. We mus
raise money by direct taxation tor j,
rigation. or license lottery and pu
the license money into an irrigatio
fund, We have gambling licenses a
ready from faro, roulette and the lik,
but it is only small proposition an
don't amount to enough for the buili
ing Of irrigation reservoirs and sto
age dams.
