Speaking of catching snakes" said
an old-ttner, according to the New Or
leans Times Democrat, ''the snake fang
industry used TO yield a good revenue
here and in other parts
of the South That was
ir the palmy days of voodooism.
Snake fangs are supposed to have a
peculiar charm when it comes to the
business of forecasting and diyining
things, and no thoroughbred voodoo
doctor could afford to be without them
They were supposed to be necessary
in the business, and If the voodoo doc
tor could not corral a snake himself
he would simply have to pay the price
prevailing in the snake fang market
and get the goods. Then there was the
'hoodoo bag, peculiar continuance
now extensively used by negroes in the
South
THE 'hoodoo bag is a curious com
bination of things. All of them do not
contain snake fangs, yet fangs are
believed to add much to the power
which possessor of one of these
strange things may get from them.
These bags are generally very small.

They are filed with all sorts of things

witches of Dunsinane in the story of
Macbeth are nothing in comparison

found in the 'hoodoo bag And the ne
gro who practices hoodooism is looked
upon as having more power when it
comes to the material benefits than any
set of witches ever possessed, so far
as the negroes who believe in such
things are concerned. They are SUD-
posed to be great gold finders. and
hard working, industrious negroes
have been known to give up a big part
OF their salary while under the in
huence of the man with the hoodoo
bag
Not infrequently the police have
been forced to interfere on account of
the robbery of negroes in this way.
But snake fangs do not command
much of a price now, because yoodoo-
ism has been on the decline. and ne
groes who believe in the potency for
good or bad of the 'hoodoo bag have
been fortunately on the decrease. Still
a sufficient number of the credulous
remain to enable a few shrewd negroes
to make living without working"

A rich American in London last week
bought the coronet of a viscount, pay
ing for it $500. The title did not change
hands along with the headpiece, of
course, though in all probability if the
v:scount could have sold that also for
cash he would have parted with it.
The American will bring his coronet
home with him and keep it in a glass
case, where it viii be duly labeled as
having been worn at the coronation of
King Edward. and other Americans
will make their obeisances to 1t.

The color line has been drawn in the
Northwestern University, Chicago, and
a colored young woman has been de-
MED the privilege Of an education in
that institution. The prejudice against
persons with negro blood in their
veins. however, is probably not quite
so intense in Chicago as in Evansville,
Ind, where the other day a commits
sion Of nine physicians was appointed
to examine school girl for the pur-
pose Of ascertainfng if she had negro
blood. If it should transpire that she
had, then she was TO be put out of the

conclusion that the girl was white. and
only Of brunette complexion. And this

A glance at the new brick buildings
that have gone up in Savannah during
tho course of the past few years will
show that there has been a change of
taste in the matter of color. Formerly
all of the bricks used were red, and
wherever the bricks We're not covered
with stucco, red was the prevailing
color Now the greys and light colors
are in favor and trimmings show the
notifies of granite or marble, or the
huff of terracotta. There are probably
two good reasons for the change: first.
the modern pressed bricks are stronger
and more durable than the old red
ones, and may be had in about any
color or shade desired. and. second, the
lighter colors are more pleasing to the
eye. In former days the outside Of a
building was seldom designed for BEAU
~: now beauty outside as well as in
side is sought for.

II was announre6 in Chicago the
ether day that Robert c. Balm would
whistle during the services al
one OF the churches. When the
tine came the auditorium was
crowded even to the doors. while many
persons who could not get into the
church waited outside 10 hear the
whistler. Several numbers were whis-
tied. TO the evident satisfaction Of the
crowd assembled 70 listen. and then
there was 8 sermon. But the people
were not attracted there by the
preaching; IL was the whistling that
drew them What must the preacher
have thought OF his own drawing
power as compared with that of the
whistler?

stage money has got to go. Here
after when the actor flashes roll of
bills, it will have to be the real stuff.
That is the conclusion reached by the
secret service of the Treasury Depart
rnent. The reason, so it is said, is
that some wicked persons have been
fooling ignorant immigrants with the
fake money used on the stage, hence
the bogus stuff and the plates from
which il is printed must go.

EHiddY Superstition
Fast Passing HsUsy

The Friday superstition appears to be
dying out.
From time immemorial this time hon.
ored superstition has swayed the minds
Of men and women. Why Friday
should be considered more unlucky
than the other days Of the week II lost
in the mists Of obscurity. The first
Individual that placed a ban on this
particular day must have handed 1t
down to his issue and from him sent
1t rolling down the ages, till the search
light Of reason belonging to the twen-
tieth century sealed its doom.
People Of all classes have been af-
fected by the hoodoo of Friday. Many
have an idea that 1t has been con-
fined to people of limited education or
low grade Of intelligence, but this
Is mistake. Educated and intelligent
persons. while not willing to acknowl-
edge the Impeachment, have been gov
erned in their actions by this tabooed
time Of the week. People who have
gone through life and laughed at the
idea Of there being such thing az an
unlucky day have been solemnly
warned Of their rashness and the most
dismal prophecies have been made az
to their fate II they persisted in such
q course. But nothing happened to
them and the brave stand taken has
borne fruit; the superstition is dying q
slow death. and bids fair to lose jts
terrors In a short time.
Railroad men have always been af-
fected by the Friday hoodoo. They have
been known to refuse to take out their
first run even when threatened with
dismissal. and 1t has been common r.
port among them that more accidents

Three years ago" said Harry Alb
bott, marriage license clerk in Judge
Waters Office, Friday was a holiday
with US. No one ever came after a
marriage license and we couldn't have
given one away on that day. Within
the last two years, however, the num-
ber Of applicants on Friday has con-
stantly grown and I confidently look
forward to its being our biggest day
some time. I have suggested the old
superstition to several applicants, but
they laugh at it and declare their will

son. The chill came as a result or the
kings prolonged stay outdoors on Sat
urday night upon the occasion OF the
torchlight tattoo at Aldershot The
chill is a slight one, accompanied by
symptoms OF lumbago.
The weather Saturday night was ex-
tremely cold. and II rained at intervals
before their maIesties left the brigade
ground. King Edward returned to his
apartments chilled from the unwonted
exposure. These reports of his majes-
tvs illness have naturally caused ap-
prehension, but there is apparently no

King Edward was slightly indisposed,
