tends the High school in Williams
town, had leg broken below the kne
while wrestling on the school play
ground March "a.
/ A landslide on the Burlington 4
Lamoille railroad, which OceurreI
about half mile from johnson. Marcl
%, delayed trains between two ant
three hours. The slide was IS fee
long and from three 10 five feet deep
Help was obtained from Hyde Parl
and Morrisville to aid in cleaning thu
track.
/ The 14-year-old daughter of George
Cox Of Rutland was badly injured in /
runaway accident March 20. She wat
driving a spirited horse and wounC
the reins around her wrist when the
buggy wheel struck another wagon
throwing her heavily TO the pavement
where the rear wheel passed over her
The horse broke into gallop and the
girl was dragged thirty feet before
freed. Her face was battered, her
body bruised and she could not stand,
her spine being injured.
A dangerous landslide occurred
March % on the clay hill on East State
street in Montpelier where w. c.
Walker has his residence. About 3
O'Clock p. m. the part OF the hill which
is just back OF the two-story house on
East State street, No. AZ. which stands
almost directly opposite Cedar street,
began to slide down, coming in con-
tact with the barn at the back OF the
house smashing it in tor several feet.
Had it not been for large amount OF
wood piled in the back of the barn il
would have completely demolished the
structure.
Elmer Walker of Burlington was ac-
cidentally shot in the right leg March
rs and the limb was amputated above
the knee. Walker was out hunting
muskrats with George Sinclair. The
TWO were in a boat about a mile up the
river from the dam at Winooski, and
were Just landing As the two were
stepping out OF the boat, Sinclair's gun,
which was heavily loaded with shot,
caught against something and the full
charge entered the right leg below the
knee of Mr. Walker The shot tore
and badly shattered the bones and
made a large ragged hole.
The body Of George w. Kelley, aged
3S, OF Burlington, who was missed
since last Thursday noon, was recov-
cred about 4 o'clock Friday afternoon
a few rods south of the Crane Lumber
company's dock. The body was found
by David Ploof and Henry DAILY in
about II feet of water. When the
body was recovered there was only a
slight cut on the nose. IL is under
stood that Kelley had suffered much OF
late with spinal trouble and that he
was subject TO violent attacks of ner-
vousness. The theory is advanced
that while in one of these attacks he
lost control of himself and fell into the
water He was a constant attendant
upon his mother during her last illness
and the shock of her death was un-
doubtedly severe.

QUEER SUPERsTITIONS.
Bad Luck Sure to Follow If You Are
 Broke on Thursday.

However smart a man may be,
 however deep of brain, there is yet a trace of superstition in his makeup ' said a thoughtful man, and often it exists and controls him in various ways
 without his knowing anything about it. If you should tell him that he was superstitious he would resent it, and in
 no uncertain way. But all men are superstitious in some way ust the same.
 There are little things about which
 men are a bit cranky, and they deYel- op into well rounded superstitions. There is Opie Reid. who has a queer little notion that if he gets up Thurs day morning without money in his pocket it is bad luck, and he believes in it so firmly that he will not venture out of the house, and will not turn his hand to a piece of work if it hap pens to him. He is generally very care ful to see that he has something left over Wednesday night. a nest egg, as the saying goes, for Thursday morn ing But sometimes he forgets, and. suddenly. discovers that he is dead broke. That settles it. Not a step will he take from the house that morn ing. Now, how is that for supeTsti- tion? You call him superstitious-well you ha6 better do it at long range. know another man in Chicago who has a queer little notion that it is bad luck to forget anything when you are leav- ing home in the morning. One morn ing we had walked to the car together
 He suddenly turned on me with the statement: I'll not go to the city to- day. When I asked him why he said he had forgotten something It's bad luck" he said, and he was unceremon- iously making tracks for tle house when he said it. l suppose we all have those little notions and beliefs. but we are not conscious of them. and so we are apt to believe. quite honestly. too, that we are not the least bit supersti- tious. But We are just the same New Orleans Times Democrat

,ge of Individual pecularities.

range of individual pecularities.
 The old dicebox still rattles after the wardroom dinner, and the United States navy will be reduced to a sad condition when this innocent source of amusement is banished. It passes from hand to hand as one after another the occupants of the table throw for cigars and after it has made the second round somebody writes a chit to be paid at the end of the month, when the mess accounts are squared. The dice are smoothand yellow with age. A dozen admirals have handled them, and have found solace in the game of chance that delights the youngest of today
 Wardroom hospitality is of the old flavor, though perhaps the increased variety of wardroom life makes the Iandsnan little less welcome as a dis peller of monotony. It is a singularly hearty and courteous reception, how ever. that awaits the guest in the bow els of the great iron pots in which American naval ohicersnow go to sea. The presence of a guest always carries with it certain privileges. Then it is a matter of course that the eXecueive officer at tho head of the table mods in the affirmative when the request is made that smoking be permitted after dinner Ordinarily the smoking is done on deck above matches. but landsmen may be supposed to find it more agree able not to leave his seat at table when the time to smoke arrives. There is no hard liquor on the table, but if the guest is in need of the stay that a cocktail gives a man before dinner, the surgeon, who keeps in his medical stores articles contraband elsewhere, may prescribe the cocktail, and per haps mix it for the visitor.
 The landsman's breeding is put to a pretty test when he becomes a guest aboard ship. and the officers are quick
 to detect the fact that the visitor has
 failed to realize that the wardroom is | both drawing room and dining-room
 and to comport himself accordingly | He may not feel any marked coolpess l in the attitude of those with whom he | is dining, but his individual host is 1 likely to hear something from his mess 1 mates that will prevent the reappear-
 ance of the offensive guest. The visi- ! tor who makes no mistakes and has | something to say worth hearing is sure | of a welcome, and is made to feel tha | he is the guest not only of the officel

Wardroom life aboard American men-of. war has greatly changed with the growth of the new navy. The big ger ships of today carry more officers than those of twenty years ago. and the haStened promotion of the last five years has changed somewhat the char acter of personnel in the wardroom.

FR1sco's MEMPHIS CUTOFF.
Luxora Branch to Be Part of the Mair
 Trunk Line.

Memphis. June 14.-Within the next four or five months the Frisco will be able to avail itself of the cutoff to be put under construction this month and which is designed to reduce the dis tance between Memphis and Luxora. Ark. Ii will extend from Big Creek, on the main line of the Frisco to Eva dale, on the Luxora branch. 161a miles, effectirg a reduction of 61k miles via Deckerville. The original intention was to make the cutoff 22 miles and intersect the main line between Marion and Clarketon. and effect a reduction Of 10 miles. It has been decided to re- construct the Luxora branch between Evadale and Luxora and get rid of some short curves. The total cost of these improvements will be between S35O,OO and $40O,O0O.
 Eventually the 16 miles of road be- tween Evadafe and Deckerville. the present main line junction, will be abandoned. The principal object in view is to fit the Luxora branch for trunk line service ss it will constitute part of the St. Louis Memphis trunk line which is to be completed this sum- mer. As soon as a small gap above Cape Girardeau has been closed the connection into St. Louis will be estab- | lished.

WOMEN OF THE ORIENT.
No Place in All the World So Good As
 Cairo to Study Them.

In DO other city of the orient has one so good an opportunity to study the women of the east as in Cairo. In this the "smelting pot" of the Moslem races Persians, Arabs, Turks and Greeks, to- gether with half dozen other races, dwell side by side, mixing with the na- tive Egyptians. Women of all these races are on parade every afternoon on the Mousky or Mohammed- Ali street, the shopping street for the rich resi- dents. All these women walk abroad heavily yelled, each one closely ac- companied by a eunuch. Tn these after noon promenades-for shopping is with them mainly an excuse for a sort of half -freedom-th may show by their eyes. which are the only parts of their faces not hidden by their veils, that they would not be averse to little irritation. but the alert. scowling cum uchs keep them moving on. The mas cuiine acquaintance of the Moham- medan woman of Cairo is limited to her husband and her attendant cum uch.
 The promenade is their one glimpse of freedom Otherwise they dream lIlGlA IINto elN oS III NeAtuANS' -NN'-N NN them can read. Education is not per mitted to eastern women. They have no part. practically, in the Mohamme dan religion. which is a mans faith. This ignorance and vacuity of life is an animal one. Under these circum stances, it is not strange that the wo- men of the Orient are usually better and finer physical specimens than the rn Inn cultivate their bodies.
 The Copts are exceptions. They are Christians. and, while the men hem their women about to an extent un- known in the west, they are still free as eagles as compared to the Moslem women. Even among the Copts, how A Lincoln Pardon
 ever. there is a certain amount of po- lygamy.
 If the life of the aristocratic woman is one of vacuity, that of the low caste woman is one of absolute slavery. They are made burden bearers from the age Of 10 to 12. They. too. are fine animals.
 I have often watched a group of these women sitting at rest along the river banks. There they sat. staring at noth- ing and doubtless thinking of the same tHliS- AS IS uSudl III Egypt, the UleS were thick and venomous. I myself had to keep a small horse hair wisp busy warding them from my head and eyes. But there these women sat with the flies swarming over their eyes, their lips. their threats. and never so much as lifted hand. A COW or horse would have lashed out vigorously, but they made no move.

Too Much Politics in toe PostoffIce.

Too Much Politics in tae Postoffiee. From Leslies Weekly.
 The chief lesson to be drawn from the disclosures thus far made in the postal service investigation is the absolute ne- cessity of freeing this department of the national government of all lingering rem nants of the spells system. Until this is done, it will be vain to ask or expect such improvements and extensions of the service as are advocated, for instance by the Postal Progress League, excel lent and desirable as many of these pro- posals are. Progress can not be made while the department remains to any extent under the control of men eager to turn every new and added feature of the service. to the advantage of them selves and their political friends Free rural delivery in itself the most valuable and important feature added to the pos tai service in many years, has been seized upon in just this way and ex- plotted to such a scandalous extent that it's extension will be checked for long time while it will be still longer before it will recover entirely from the odium which these exposures have brought upon It. Our postal system needs lm- proVement in several ways to bring it abreast of the service in other countries, but first of all it needs the application to every department of the principles of civil-service reform, to the end that this great business enterprise of the govern ment, for such it is, may be conducted on a strictly business basis, and for the benefit of the people rather than for the benefit of politicians.
