Johnson's First Tailoring Job.

President Andrew Johnson had never been ashamed of his humble origin; had, indeed, often narrated the un- happy story of his first job at tailoring.
 He had been summoned, he would say, to the residence of an influential citizen and had been bidden to make over one of the citizens old coats for the son of the house.
 Johnson, little nervous through ex- cess of zeal, took off his coat, turned back his sleeves, measured the youth and set to work. He was getting along well-the job, indeed, was nearly fin ished-when dinner time came and he reached out for his coat in order to put 1t on and go home.
 To his chagrin he discovered then that 1t was his own coat which he had cut up for the boy.
Holbrook argus., 1903-10-17
QUEER sUPERsTITIONs.

The following are some curious su. perstitons that are still extant among English speaking people:
 If you kill frogs your cows will "go dry"
 Tickling a baby will cause the child to stutter.
 To thank Q person for combing your hair will bring bad luck.
 To kill a ghost 1t must be shot with a bullet made of a silver coin.
 To dream of unbroken eggs signifies trouble to come; if the eggs are broken the trouble Is past.
 If you boast of your good health strike wood immediately with your fist or you will become i'll.
