QUEER BELIEFS.
Burying Hair and Strings Will Make
a Child Grow.

From the New Orleans Tmes-D Democrat
All superstftions are DID," said Alphonse
Burke, one of the deputy clerks in the civil
district court clerks office. ''They are like
maxims and whisky, not good unless aged
Now, L know something about superstitious
beliefs. I have applied some of them to
my own affairs; I have studied more Of
them, and tried to influence the drift of the
family of bipeds to which 1 belong. A
friend of mine in the office here. Jack Nc
Cormick laughed at me for saying that
the surest way Of making a baby grow was
by burying Irvine string the exact length
of the child. 1 have heard that all my life,
but never saw it demonstrated but 1 have
seen another method of making a baby
grow proved. In fact, can file myself as
an exhibit in proof of this statement. Look
at me. Observe my rotund figure. My
height is in proportion. 1 may not be hand
some and my image does not stand in front
of any clothing store, but you must admit
that l am not an unganly specimen of the
family of bipeds to which 1 belong That
is natural, you will say. Superstition had
nothing to do with it; that I just grew this
way. So did But why? All chances were
against me. My family may have given up
all hope for me, for all my friends know
And yet 1 am here in a somewhat thrifty
package.
Let me tell you what happened to me
when I was still unconscious of life's re-
sponsibilities 1 was mere child, and Just
do remember the occurrence. An elder
brother of mine, who believed to some eX-
tent in the runes and redes of superstition,
asserted with all assurance that 1 would
grow up to be a fine-looking man. One day
he stole me out, and, In order to make his
prophecy good, led me into the pasture. He
produced an anger and bored a hole in a
white oak tree. He first measured nv
height. and bored the hole exactly at that
distance from the ground. In this hole he
placed a curl of my hair which he sawed
off with a knife. Then he sealed the hole
in the tree by stuffing the shavings and
bark in it. Up to that time I had been
sickly, and had refused to grow. 1 was
what my old black nanny called the
'runt of the family. Take my word for it,
after that 1 started to grow, and here you
see me- The last time I saw that white
oak tree the auger hole then merely a scar
on the tree. was twenty feet from the
ground. OF course, was not expected to
grow to that height. Now explain this
thing" after you, my dear AIphonse'
said Jack Mccormick.

The Old-Time Machine Shop.

From the Ell cheering Magazine.
The machine work fifty years ago was
not as good as it is now, one reason being
that the machines themselves were defec-
tive, not only in weight and design, but in
workmanship as well; another reason was
that in many cases the filter had to go over
the work again in any event, so that it
would be time wasted to complete the lathe
work in the lathe. To be truthful 1 must
add that the fitting was by no means what
it should have been, not so much through
carelessness on the part of the men as from
the lack of instruments of precision for
measuring. First and last these consisted
chiefly of calipers. inside and out out, and
a two-foot lockwood rule. Now, if this last
had been consistent member of large
family it would have been in harmony with
the others, but the trouble was that it diff
fered in minute degrees of assertion as to
the length of an inch and fractions thereof,
so that where different men went by va
rious rules, all of them giving false testi-
mony, the results were not at all surpris-
ing. and the lockwood rules fell into disre-
pute as guides to accuracy

Clay as Gutter"
From London Health.

From LONDON Health.
1t is not generally known that in many
parts of the world clay Is eaten on bread
as a substitute for butter. This is termed
"stone BUTTER and is used in many parts
of Germany. In northern parts of Sweden
earth is often baked in bread and is sold in
the public markets on the Italian penin-
sula as well as the Island of Sardinia
Persia Nubia, and other tropical countries.
The practice probably had its origin in the
knowledge that all earths have some kind
of flavor and take the place of salt, a nee
essary ingredient in all kinds of food.

Virginia Drew Prescott. one Of the pref
test women on the American stage. will
make her appearance here tonight at the
Montgomery Theatre in Mr.. David Trai-
tells production of Lord Strathmore,'
founded on Ouida's "Strathmore."
Virginia Drew Trescott has been spe-
cially engaged to create the role OF Mr.
rion, Msrchioness of Vavasour and Vaux.
the strongest of all Ouida's characters.
Miss Trescott is a most accomplished ac-
tress. thoroughly womanly magnetic
and possesser of great personal charms.
Portraying fire and pathos equally we'll,
her very presence on the stage holds her
audience throughout the entire evening.
Playgoers who are fond Of stirring
drama, quiet. but intense. beautiful
scenes, costumes and excellent English,
are likely to eagerly anticipate the pro-
duction of Lord Strathmore. This Is a
decentralization of Ouida's most famous
literary effort Seats now on sale.
