a Curious Irish Tradition.

Ireland is a country rich in tradi-
lions, and in places every inch of
the ground has its queer history and
some quaint story attached to it..
For instance, not for from Belfast
there is a romantic old well in a
curious hollow Of the hills called
Barnas gap. The well is known as
Barnas well and is filled at the bot
tom with white stones, the heather
around being covered with pieces Of
rags. Close, too, is large mound
composed of stones, which is said to
cover the bones of a holy friar long
since dead. Every visitor to the well
appearsito make it practice of add
ing stone to the heap already
there, but for what reason it is i'm
possible to say.

The Sneezina Superstition.

The custom of saying Good bless
youp when person sneezes dates
from the time of the Patriarch ia
cob. The rabbis say that prior to
the time when Jacob lived a man
never sneezed but once; the shock
consequent was certain death.
When Jacob came on the scene, he
interceded with the Master and OBJ
tanned a relaxation of this rigid law,
subject to the condition that in all
countries when a person sneezed he
himself, if alone, or a friend if one
happened to be near should make
a pious exclamation. This soon
crystallized into one general form,
that of "God bless you"
1t is rather singular that this Gu
rious custom is now observed in one
form or another in most European
countries today. In Germany the
sneezer is saluted with sYour good
health!" in Ireland with "God bless
your honorm In Italy and Spain
similar expressions are used. The
Russians, in order to be odd, I sup
pose, exclaim, GLOW do you do?"

Grants First Dollar.

General Wilson told the story Of
how General Grant earned his first
dollar. He was little chap living
in Mount Pleasant, O., when the
circus came to town. Like every
other boy that could raise a quarter,
be went to the show. One Of the at
fractions was trick mule, and 81
was offered to any ore who could
ride the mule around the ring with
out being thrown. After all the
other volunteers had failed Grant
tried, with the same result. Il want
to try again." he insisted. Gail
right, sonny" said the circus man,
and this time the boy reversed his
position and held on by the mules
tail, which so astonished the animal
that it failed to rid itself of its bur-
den, and young Grant won the dol
lar.

Care Of the Watch.

Always wind up a watch as near
" as possible at the same time ev-
cry day and do it as smoothly as
possible to avoid sudden jerks. Most
watches are row made keyless, but
if key has to be used it should be
kept perfectly clean and free from
grit or fue, says az exchange. If a
watch is hung up, it must have
some support at the back, and if
laid horizontally it is well to place
some soft substance under it for
more general support; otherwise the
action Of the balance will cause a
pendulous motion of the watch and
cause much variation in time. The
watch pocket must be kept as free
from dust and nap as possible.

PENRHYN ISLAND.
One of the Pearl Studded Fairy Rings
of the Pacific.

Penrhyn appeared one morning
on the northern horizon, a band of
dim shadow above the ocean. On
these narrow islands you see the
dark line of the palm tree fronds at
distance, but not the stems, so
that the land seems to hang between
sea and sky. Penrhyn is one of
those fascinating atolls, the fairy
rings Of the Pacific, that have been
formed by the subsistence Of the
land, while only the coral reef that
once encircled it remains, and the
great circular lagoon takes the
place of the island that was. The
islands are not more than ten feet
high.
The famous pearl island was sup
posed to have been discovered by
the ship Lady Penrhyn in 1888.
Lieutenant Rignold of the Porpoise,
who visited it in 1871, stated that
its inhabitants we're the widest and
most savage looking beings he had
ever seen. The island was subse-
guently visited by traders and in
1888 was formally annexed to Great
Britain.
Penrhyn is one Of the most IA
NOUS pearl islands Of the Pacific,
ard its divers are as famous as its
pearls. They will dive to depth of
twenty fatboms, or 100 feet. The
pearl shell grows to a very large
size in the lagoon, and the picked
shell is worth $1,000 a ton in the
home market. Formerly pearls
were more plentiful. On one occa-.
sion Messrs. Godeffroy, the famous
German firm, shipped to Europe in
one parcel pearls to the value of
$4,000, the product of a few
months collection among the is
lands, and in the early days the
beach combers who were daring
enough to land on those remote IS
lands and who managed to escape
the ovens Of the cannibals often
realized great sums of money by
the sale of parcels Of these gems.

MINNEAPOLIS.

Minneapolis Rainy weather coming on
top of all the recent pull talk and the
evidence developed OF some short lines in
September, gave rise to a. very strong
feeling in wheat, and new gains were made
in ali prices. The first signs of an in
creasing outside interest came out at the
to hold the market after the first ad-
vance. September was again very strong,
and following up Fridays gain of IL C

There was general rain in Minnesota.
Light local rains in South Dakota. Light
scattered rains in Nebraska, and it Was
raining at Omaha and Valentine. The
prediction was for showers last night and
Sunday for the Northwest. Chicago wired
early that wheat was strong with con-
siderable activity in the September OPP
ton. The good cash situation in the
Northwest and prospects of unsettled
weather were the strengthening factors.
When the weather map was marked up
it showed temperatures higher every
where. All the markets opened little
higher, mainly on this wet weather, and
in Chicago, were very fair. the grading
not bad. Sentiment appeared to be bull
ish on everything.
