SUPERsTITIoUs NoRwEGIANs.
Their Forests, Mountains and GOrges
PeOpled with Fairies.

Like the japanese, the NorwegianS
are very superstitious, and, as in
Japan, the forests, the mountains and
the gorges are peopled with fairies,
says W. E. Curtis, in the Chicago Rec
ord-Herald. Nssen is the good fairy
Of the farmers. He looks after the
cattle particularly, and if he is well
treated they are healthy and the cows
give lots of milk. To propitiate him
Il is necessary to put dish 0 porridge
on the threshold Of the COW stable on
Christmas morning. Whenever the
family move this invisible being goes
along with them and sits on the top
Of the loads. In haying time be all
ways rides on the loads Of hay, and the
"bedstemoder" or grandmother in
every farmhouse can tell the children
dozens of interesting stories aboutthe
mischief or kindness of Nissen.
He is invariably represented in pic
lures Of farm life; he appears on the
illustrated advertisements of farm
machinery; his figure is carved in
wood, is sold at all the curiosity stores,
and he appears as a prominent charae-
ter in most Of the fairy stories that
deal with farm life. He is represent
ed as q short, fat, bow-legged man,
with big whiskers and long white hair,
wearing a red hat like those worn by
clowns in circuses. BE usually ap-
pears in his shirt sleeves, with an open
collar, a blue vest and knickerbockers
upon his legs which are as slim e.
those Of a brownie. His circumfer-
enee is far greater than his height and
bis head is almost as large as his body.

shllful starting, says PearsOH's
Magazine, like most instances Of
physical proves, is a matter partlyof
natural aptitude, partly, in 8 foot
race, Of cultivation. Men differ in
what may be called personal error; in
the duration Of the interval between
The act Of will and the translation Of
It into action. Some men have to aim
further in front Of a driven partridge
than others because it takes them
longer to pull their triggers. Similar
y, one runner takes longer than an
other to set his limbs in motion; both
hear the bang Of the pistolat the same
moment but the one actually moves
his legs, or jumps into his stride, ap-
preciably the sooner. And personal
error, in this sense, is found to vary
from day to day in the same man, be-
ing distinctly more pronounced when
he is stale or jaded than when he is
fresh and fit.
No amount of cultivation will alto
gether remove this personal difference
between individuals; but each may re-
duoe his own error to his own mini
mum by continued practice Of a right
method. BY an incessant repetition
an action becomes so habitual that it
is done without conscious volition.
The feet of an expert dancer thread
Of themselves the complicated steps
Of a Jig or hornpipe; and in a similar
way sprinter's limbs after due prac-
tice seem TO start of their own accord
at the sound Of the pistol, the muscles
of his legs seem to hear the bang di-
rect.
An expert starter when in position
on the mark, OF when "set," as it is
called, is IN q concentrated, strained
state from which the detonation re-
leases him automatically; his highly
educated muscles fall at once into the
requisite actions, and knowing they
will do so he can fix his whole atten-
ton upon reaching the tape. He will
arrive there all the more quickly for
having but one idea to govern his
body.

The STATE Historian, or keeper
of the archives OF the state, at
Jackson has received a letter from
Charleston Clark, in Washington,
d. c., advising him that the "Mis-
sissippi Society,"" recently organ
lied at the National capitol, was
ready to go to work. Mr.. Clark
writes as secretary of the society,
and says that the objects of the
society are as much historical as
anything else, and that they are
anxious to cooperate with the
department OF archives and his
tory in the cole ction and preser-
walton of valuable historical data.
The society was organized with a
splendid membership, and was
addressed by Senator Money.
Mr.. Clark states that the mem
bers aIe enthusiastic and eager to
aid in the historical work. In
reply to this letter Mr.. Rowland
advised Secretary Clark that the
department here would be glad to
cooperate with the society. He
also informed the secretary that
nearly all Of the earlier archives
of the state of Mississippi, the
papers relating to the earlier ter
ritOrial history and the CORE
spOndence of the territorial gov
errors is on file in Washington.
Director Rowland suggests that
the Mississippi society should at
once go to work on this data and
prepare from it monographs Of
the territorial governors and other
valuable rescripts to be filed II
the department of archives and
history.

If q railway was proposed, and Il
was shown a Chinese mandarin that
It might earn 100000 per year, he
would Immediately exclaim that you
proposed to rob China Of half a mil
lion per annum. You might point
out that there was no robbery about
1t; that people need not use the rail-
way unless they liked, and could, II
they preferred, travel or send their
goods by boat in the old way. "That
Is just what l say," the mandarin
would reply, ~you are robbing the
boatmen." You might next point ont
that a large proportion ofthe earnings
would be paidin wages, and this was,
perhaps, your most effective argu-
ment; but even here the mandarin
would assert that you were taking
your employees from agriculture,
which was, be would claim, much bet
ter for tAe nation. As for the money
paid for materials imported, that, the
mandarin would hold, was lost to the
country. You might point out that
the money need not necessarily leave
the country, being paid into a bank,
and being finally exported in the
shape Of silks, tea, etc, but the man
DARN would reply; "That is just
what I say. You steal the money in
the first place and then use 1t 70 bur
silks and tea, which had much better
stay in the country" Finally, you
would try to get round him in anoth-
sr way. The mandarins holding the
most important positions, necessarily
involving heavy expenditure, are paid
the most inadequate salaries, saye15O

and suppressed chuckling could Be

"As be walked to his desk" con-
