HiNDOO SUPERSTlTlONS.
Eneezing Is a Bad Omen and Keeps
Men From Business.

/, A resident of Dharmapuri, writing
on the subject of Hindoo superstitions,
says that a married woman, dancing
girl, a mirror and an ass-the most
neglected of the Indian domestic ami
mals-are also among the first objects
of good omen which a Hindoo should
meet as soon as he wakes from his
sleep. A Hindoo does not stir out of
his house en- any errand, not only
during the Rahukalam-an hour and
q half q day-but also some time be-
fore it. Some do not do any work
during Gulikakalum as well-another
one hour and half day. The cor
respondent does not mention that in
more advanced countries some people
make Rakukalam and Gulikakalum
last great deal longer. Besides these
there are Natchathirams STARS, Of
which there are twenty-six, each Of
which occurs every day. A particu-
lar Natchathiram on a particular day
is either good or bad. At times an
orthodox Hindoo will not have a good"
day even in a fortnight. Even sneez-
ing is inauspicious. Instances are not
rare in which men are prevented from
attending their Office by sham sneez-
ing. The espying Of male and
female crow together means the ap-
preaching death Of the observer. His
fate may be averted by writing
letter to some Of his relatives at
distance saying that he is dead. The
appearance Of rat snake at the right
hand side Of q journey is considered
most lucky. A Hindoo Will never feed
a guest for the first time on Sundays,
Tuesdays or Thursdays-these days are
supposed to bring enmity between the
host and the guest. A Hindoo doctor
will never administer medicines to his
patient, even if he is very dangerously
Ill, for the first time on any day other
than Sunday or Thursday. 1t is also
laid down that a Hindoo should never
sleep with his head toward the south
the direction in which Yama, the god
of death, is supposed to live. East
and west are always preferred.-Ma-
dras Mail.

Ladies' and Children Invited

All ladies and children who can
not stand the shocking strain of
laxative syrups, cathartics, ETC., are
invited to try the famous Little
Early Risers. They are different
from all other pills. They do not
purge the system. Even a double
dose will not grippe, weaken or
sicken; many people call them the
the Easy Pill. W. H. Howell,
Houston, Tex, says nothing better
can be used for constipation, sick
headache, etc. Bob Moore, La
tayette, Ind, says all others grippe
and sicken, while peWitt's Little
Early Risers DO their work well
and easy. Sold by

A Henpecked AstroloEer.

Lilly, the astrologer and alchemist,
could not see for himself sufficiently
far into that future which he professed
to be able to scan so clearly for others
to guard him against making fool of
himself by marrying. He caught a
vixen, "of the temper Of Mars" to use
his own words, and the fact that she
brought him $500 as dowry did not
count for much in the way of COM
pensation seeing that 'she and her
relations cost him $1,000"

BRIGHAM YOUNG.
When He Was an Expert Carpenter
at Port Byron in 1880.

at Port Byron in 1880.
About the year 1880 Brigham
Young and family settled in
Port Byron, says the Rochester
Post-Express. 1t was then known
as Bucksville, and boasted of 100
inhabitants. There was no
canal or railroad in those days,
and the settlers had to hew down
trees in order to make a clearing
in which to build a house. During
the first few years of Young's stay
he made his home with Squire
Pine, who lived on the corner of
Pine and South streets. The Pine
house is now about 100 years old.
1t is now owned and occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. James ID. Dixon.
Brigham Young was a carpen-
ter, and old residents of Port BY
rGR say that he was an expert at
his trade, but work was scarce,
and he was always hard up. 1t
was long time before he saved
money enough to buy lumber TO
build his own house. 1t was his
intention to build himself a fine
house, but it turned out to be a
very ordinary frame structure.
1t was built soon after the Erie
canal was put through, and was
located near the heel path side of
the canal. The Young house has
long since been moved. \ part of
the original structure now stands
back of the Newkirk livery
stables, and is unoccupied.
Brigham Young's family com
prised his wife and one son, Brig
ham, Jr., who died recently at Salt
Lake City. Young at that time
was firm believer in MOrmon
ism. He left Port Byron, or
BucksvilIe. in 1850, and went to
Seneca Falls. From there he went
to Utah and subsequently became
famous as the leader Of the Nor
mons. In after years, when he
was famous. one of his old ac-
quaintances wrote to him and
asked him if he was the Brigham
Young, of Port Byron, and if he
were could he pay Squire Pine for
| Il large board bill. Squire Pine
was then an old man and i'm poor
circumstances. In a short time
Squire Pine received a letter from
Young. and inclosed was the
money in full for his board, with
interest. Young was then a rich
man, and said he was very glad
to pay up his old debts.

STAGE COST LESS THEN.
Expenditures for Some 18th Century
Performances in London.


Performances in London.
In these days Of eXtravagant
theatrical expenditures. il is i'm
teresting to study the cost Of per
fornlances given years ago. An
industrious deliver has found the
record of some eighteenth cen
fury performances that are i'm
marked contrast to the amounts
spent to-day.
a performance Of "Hamlct"
given in September, 1885, in Lon
don, cost $500, and the expenses
of the night were $50. The or
chestra cost $3.50, the advertise
ments in newspaper four dol
lars, and for the service of the
two soldiers who stood at either
side of the prOscenium arch to
keep order the sum of $3.50 was
paid. The candles that illum.
mated the theater cost SIS.
Sometimes in those economical
days there were expenditures I'M
known now. When the prince and
princess of Wales, for instance,
attended performance of "Jane
Shore" the manager was com.
PEELED to tip all the flunkeys that
came in the royal retinue, and the
cost Of that was $50.
Although some elaborate pan
tOmimes were produced in those
days, the scene painters received
small salaries The best known
of these, an Italian imported to
London on account of his skill in
constructing scenery, was the
highest paid of the scene painters.
He was able to get only $25
week.
Some of the expenditures for
costumes seemed extravagant to
that age, although the prices
would be rather moderate now.
Much emphasis was laid on the
cost of a gown and cape made for
a popular actor of the day for
which 1920 was paid. A crown
for King Lear, on the other hand,
cost only $1.75, while for $125 the
costumes for all the dancers in
the opera of "DiOcletian" were OBJ
tanned.
In those days 500 was looked
upon as an uncommonly good
house. Salaries we're low, for
the highest recorded is $50 a
week. Thatwas much above the
average, which was about $50 for
the principal actors.
