HumanifY'S Defects.

"Men boast of their superiority" said
a Chicago doctor who has a weakness
for philosOphizing, taking it for grant
ed that they are far in advance of all
other things that live here on earth. 1t
is true that they have some wonderful
achievements to their credit, but did
you ever see a horse, for instance, that
was cross eyed? Compare the number
of deformities among children with
those of young animals, and you will
find that among all the horses, cattle,
sheep, hogs, dogs, cats and everything
else belonging to the animal world
there are nowhere near as many con-
genital defOrmities as among people,
This undoubtedly is due to the fact
that the animals live more nearly as
nature intended them to than we do.
But we mustn't find fault. Think OF
the specialists who would be working
as day labOrers if every child came in
to the world perfect, and our tailors
and dressmakers would all be forced
out of business if nobody had defects
to hide. We must never lose sight of
the fact that our shortcomings are arts
greatest stimulus. - Chicago Record

Short Prayers.

According to the Philadelphia Rec
ord, three Methodist ministers, as they
were dining together the other day,
talked about short prayers. "a prayer
short as it was irreverent," said the
first, was offered up by a soldier be-
fore the battle of Waterloo. 1t was
this, % God. If there be a God, save my
soul if l have a SOUL" THAT prayer"
said the second minister "resembled
one composed by Bishop Atterbury in
the early part of the eignIeenth centu-
ry. 1t was a prayer for the soldiers
about to engage in battle, and it was
brief and impressive. % God' it ran,
if, in the day of battle, ]. forget thee,
do not thou forget me-" 9ghe third
minister, after a moment of thought,
smiled and said: "When IsXas a lad 1
one day dtned with twO So tF aunts.
They set me at the head of the table
and bade me say grace. was taken

4 NOSE FOR NEWS.
The Genuine Newspaper Reporter Is
ROrn Not Made

The Genuine Newspaper RepOrter Is
Born, Not Made.
"Poets are born, not made" said the
retired newspaper man to the New Or
leans Times-DemOcrat, land l might
add that reporters come into this world
in much the same way. For instance,
the born reporter will get story If
there is one in sight while he who only
has what | would call mechanical
sort of training will skim over the
same ground without ever discovering
that anything out of the ordinary has
happened. Not many years ago l was
holding an important position on one
Of the principal journals of Chicago. l

desk, and, wanting to test the ability Of
two new men on the staff, l assigned
both of them to the same story. OF
course neither knew the other was in
the neighbOrhoOd, and you ought to
have seen their respective reports. One
of them had a two column story that
created a sensation from one end of
the city to the other, while the other
turned in about two sticks of the
driest stuff l ever remember to have
read. l am satisfied that both the men
covered the story to the best of their
respective abilities. One of them simply
had a nose for news and the other
didn't. AS l said, reporters are born
not made by studying Journalism in
the abstract. The natural born report

can live on ink and can sleep sOundly

The inhospitable little hOstelry in

The note of a horn, the snap of
whip, and the great coach swaycd out
upon the winding road, gay atop with
bright steamer fobes and trunks be-
decked with multicolored labels; in
side, the blase interest of middle age
and the bright alertness of the young
girl, reaching out eagerly for new ex-
periences-strange scenes.
Jane and the Elderly Ones made a
comfortable party of three, and had
settled themselves for the journey
But a few miles on in the valley, as
they stopped at the little town of An
dermatt, the empty seat was filled-a
man had stepped in upon them with
courteous word of apology for his in
vasion. He spoke in German, was
young and good looking and carried
the mark of universities about him.
The great shoulders dropping ever so
little in their long cape coat, spoke of
the student, and his cavernous pockets
bulged with fat volumes to he read en-
route.
But the CAIN eyes of the German
met James siadowy Orbs at the second
mile, and forthwith the wicked little
blind god began his mischievOus work.
1t was frank and open love from the
first with meinherr. Jane parried at
first as best she might. But after
awhile her round American chin went
up, and she shared her bird with de-
liberation, while the chaperons looked
on with amazement. That the young
student knew no word of English and
Jane not word of German lent a GER
tain piQuancy to the situation, but
proved in nc way an obstacle. The Ell
derly Ones at least understood and
spoke in the foreign tongue, and to
them the young man addressed him
self, while to Jane the dark, expressive
eyes had a language all their own.
Never was such a gallant and cour-
teOus travelling companion. He told
anecdotes Of the country through " hich

which the peasants sold at the road

load slowly upward over the tOrtuOuS
road the coach seemed a speck on the
bare, brown face of the mountain. The
valley lay like toy below, the rocks
lifted gaunt peaks into the unnatura
air and huge feathery tufts of cloud
hung sluggishly in the shadows,
The young man drank in Ions
breaths of exhilaratiOn and drew the
robes more cozily about James shoul

And suddenly a great wave of sym
pathy, of unspoken tenderness, swep
subtly between the two. They seemed
alone together in this uncanny uppe

superstitions of scotch Fishermen.


Some still existing superstitions
among Scotch fishermen are as follows:
At the beginning of the herring season
the crew all try to seize the herring
first on board to see if it he a gale or
female. If it is a male their fishing
may be expected to be poor one; If a
female, a good one. Sometimes, how
ever, the skipper secures it and hides it
away, sailing it and laying it aside for
the season. The boat must not be
turned against the sun.
Certain animals considered of i'll
omen must not be spoken of in the
boat, and ministers in this respect Oc-
cupy the same place as rabbits, hares
and pigs. Fishermen do not like to
lend anything to a neighbOring boat
lest their luck should go with it. If
they lend a match they will contrive-
secretly if pOssible-to break it and
keep part hoping thereby to retain
their luck. Their dislike to have any
thing stolen is increased by the fear
that the thief may have stolen their
luck with it, TO ask the question,
"Where are you gOing?" of any one
who is going on board is equivalent to
destroying all his chances for that
time. Persons with certain names are
held to be of bad omen, the dreaded
names being different in daeeent vii

ed ever so little in the shadow of the
dictionary, and knowledge of each Oth-
er grew apace.
That the girl was under their careful
espionage was enough for the Elderly
Ones, and when the young German pre-
sented his credentials the name was
found to be a very old and illustrious
one, so they were content.
The descent on the farther side of the
pass, the stupendous panorama of the
Rhone valley, with its weird, glittering
mystery of virgin ice, were clearly lost
upon two of the passengers, for the lit
tie struggling village of Gletsch lay
spot Just below-Gletsch and parting
Of ways.
The sepulchral looking hall of the
Glacier hotel made rather a gloomy
setting for the end of the little drama.
The young German must take his own
way, while Jane must go hers with the
Elderly Ones. The two clasped hands
for several long minutes while they
said goOdby wistfully and without the
dictionary, and when the blue eyes
looked away from the brown ones they
were suspiciously bright But the great
broad shoulders stopped suddenly over
Jane, and their owner whispered tender
ly a magic word into her waiting ear.
1t was "Auf wiedersehen."
That Jane should be snapped up un-
tremendously in her first season by a
bold and unknown foreign count was a
matter of much comment and no little
regret among her friends at home. 1t
was in vain they tried by various
means to learn the romantic details of
her short engagement. But the broad.
distinguished figure of the foreigner
certainly made a handsome and strik-
ing background for James glistening

ried with the aid of the dictionary too,

Dog ATE DIAMONDS
GREAT DANE CAUGHT AN $500
DIAMOND RING.

New York, Jan. 16-Nero, a Great
Dane owned by william oppenheim,
q dress goods dealer Of 1850 EAST Sew
enty-first street, is ordinarily worth
5000. On Monday night he suddenly
acquired a value Of $1,000.
The Oppenheims had some guests at
dinner on that night, and when the
coffee was passed Mrs. oppenheim
called in Nero and showed the guests
how cleverly Nero could catch crack
ers which she threw to him. Then she
accidentally let her $500 ring slip.
Nero caught that too. A veterinary
surgeon, George Cohen tried SIX diff
erent stomach pumps on Nero, but
none Of them troubled Nero or brought
back the ring. The dog was then con-
fined in q basement room, much to
the disgust of the cook, who does not
like Great Danes.
