The Sneezina superstition.

The custom of saying "God bless
YOU" wien person sneczes dates
from the time CT the Patriarch ia
cob. The rabbis say that prior to
the time when Jacob lived a man
never sncezcd but once; the shock
consequent was certain death.
When Jacob came on the scene, he
intcrceded with the Master and OBJ
tanned relaxation Of this rigid law,
subject to the condition that in all
countries when a person sneezcd he
himself, if alone, or Il friend if one
happened to be near should make
a pious exclamation. This soon
crystallized into one general form,
that of "God bless you'll"
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 |eYour good
health!" in Ireland with "God bless
your honor" In Italy and Spain
similar expressions are used. The
Russians, in order to be odd, sup
pose, exclaim, "How do you do?"

THE CAPTURED DRAGONS.
How Koreans Viewed the First Elcc.
trio Cars In Their Country,

When the electric car service was
first opened in Korea, it furnished
most pcrplcxing theme to the
minds of the Koreans, for they
could not see how the electric cars
could move along without any horse
or any steam engine to pull them.
Many months passed without any
solution being found During these
months there was no rainfall in
Seoul, and the fact at once brought
q happy idea into the Korean mind.
Koreans believe that lain is pro-
duccd only by rain dragons that live
in the sky. Now, in view Of The
drought, these dragons, the kore-
ans argued, must have been captur-
cd by the enterprising Americans,
whose intention was to cause them
to cxhale the steam by means of
which the electric cars are driven
on. In support of their argument
they pointed to the blue sparks that
are often seen in the engine room Of
the electric railway company and
edlu si'dI INC lIdIi1cS were LnOSG
which the dragons vomitcd in the
agony of being compelled to manu-
1acturc the steam.
This solution Of the electric car
mystery and of the drought was en-
Enthusiastically indorscl bv the ig-
norant iopulacc Of Korea. It then
came TO pass that the enragcd ma
tivcs wrcakcl their vengeance on
the electric cars with terrible vchc-
mcncc. Tie motormcn were at
tackled and injured, the rails were
torn up and the cars were destroy
cd.
1hcn. taught by these costly cx-
pcrlcnccs, an engineer Of the Elcc-
trio Car company contrivcd a cum
ming method to outwit these Kore-
ans. One day he caught one Of
these riotous people in the electric
car and, driving him into the en-
ginc room, imprisoned him there
all the night. There was the for
midablc mechanism Of the electric
ity, but no dragon. The sight was
complete disillusionment for the
Korean. lie spread the report
among the other superstitious peo-
pie, and they reluctantly abandoned
their crazy notion, and the cars were
unmolcstcd. Japan Weekly Times.

Care Of the Match

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

MURDER OF THE CzhR.
Eyewitness Account of the Acsassl.
nation of Alexander n.

From memoirs OF :.:c late Mile.
Hortcnse Rhca the following eye
witness account OF the assasslna ton
of Alexander II. of Russia is pub
lished in The Century:
"It was on q Sunday, about 2
o'clock. We were rehearsing a new
play. Some Of us were in the green
room when the emperor passed, es-
corted by his Cossacks. We were
standing at the window, and with q
smile he gave us the military salute
we knew SO well. He had hardly
turned the corner when we heard an
explosion. We looked at one an
other, and the same thought cross
cd each mind-an attempt on the
empcror's life.
We rushed out and arrived at the
corner of the street Just in time to
see, 200 yards from us, the cxplo-
sion Of the second bomb, which
proved to be the fetal enc. The
first had killed two Cossacks. While
they were arresting the assassin the
czar, deaf to the cntrcatics Of his
coachman, who wanted to drive on
with all speed, came out of his car
riage to say word of sympathy to
his dying soldiers. He took their
hands, and, addressing their mur-
dercr, he said, Wretch, see what
you have done in your blind furyp
after last look of pity at his
faithful servants he was about to
rc-cntcr his carriage when man
standing at the door dropped anoth-
cr bomb, which he had kept con-
ccalcd i'll his handkerchief, and that
not only killed the nihilist himself,
but mortally wounded the emperor.
In a moment the street, before de-
serted, was crowded with people
coming from every direction.
Sleighs were going to and fro, and
all we heard was, Thank God, the
emperor lives!' His carriage being
damaged, he was placed in sleigh
and driven to the palace, where he
expired q few hours later. His legs
had been shattered"

Fortune that Nobody Wants.

y new phase Of the gypsy character
has developed in the circuit court at
Evansville, Indiana, which has put
the court in position where there
is neither law nor precedent for ac-
tion.
Isaac Harrison, known for many
years in the west and south as the
Gypsy Aing, was murdered by one Of
his sons in Alabama year ago. He
had accumulated some means during
his rowing life and had invested his
money so advantageously that he pos
sessed moderate fortune. The MUIR
derer fed to the west and the old
mans property was administered by
the court, each of the heirs receiving
an equal share. The amount due to
the fugitive son was paid into court,
as ne was absent, and passed to the
possession Of the clerk Of the county
as the court officer.
Several weeks ago Harrison was in
jured in railroad accident and died
two days later. Before death he
revealed his identity and the authori-
ties ut Evansville were notified. None
Of the Harrison family showed any
interest in the result of the mmrde-er's
death. When applied to by the court
for proof of his end all refused to take
any steps in the matter.
The clerk finally secured the neces-
sary proofs and the Judge ordered the
part of the estate belonging to the
murderer to be distributed among the
other heirs. 1t then developed that
none Of mis- brothers and sisters would
accept any part of the estate. They
said when questioned that it was
blood money, and they did not want
to touch it.
They do not contend that the father
was murdered for the money: but that
1t came to the son through blood and
it is the same as though he had killed
his father for it. Attempts to argue
the case bring only shakings of the
head. and the often iterated statement,
Its blood money. don't want it,"
AS the legal owners of the sons
part Of his fathers fortune arc still
alive. the court cannot declare it
escheated to the State and it will
probably remain in the clerk hands
indefinitely. The direct heirs of the
old gypsy chief say that none Of their
children will ever lay claim to the
money, because its possession would
be certain to bring misfortune upon
any one who takes it.

jealous glances of the queen, he re-
stored it to its fair owner with the
exclamation, "Honi soft qui NAL y
