THE RUBEtA MUMMA.
One of the Queer Superstitions OF the
Wekt Indies.

One of the Queer SuperstitiOns Of the
Wekt Indies.
One of the QueereSt of the many
queer superstitions in the West Indies
is that of the "Rubba Mumma," or
river mother, Of jamaica. While the
colored people laugh TO scOrn the idea
Of ocean mermaids, many of them firm
ly believe that water nymphs inhabit
every fountain head of the mountain
streams, which are so numerous in
their island.
In the old slavery days the sources
Of such streams We're worshiped and
sacrifices offered to the "Rubba Num-
ma" The slaves on the plantations
used to persuade their overseers or
masters to sacrifice an OK at the foun-
tain head of the stream which turned
the wheel Of the sugar MILL so that
drought might be averted. Unless the
"Rubba Mumma' was propitiated, the
slaves contCnded. she would not send
down enough water to turn the mill.
On most Of the sugar estates bull
lock was annually killed for this pur-
pose.
The "Rubba Mumma" is still believ-
ed in. and in time of drought the peas
ants still sacrifice Il goat or Il chicken
to her. She is said to be marvelously
beautiful, with lily White skin. long
black hair and soft blue eyes. She
comes out of the water at noon ev-
cry day. sits down on rock in the
stream and combs her raven tresses.
If any Peeping Tom sees her and their
eyes meet he is blasted upon the spot.
but If she does not happen to see him
it is all right.
Food is sometimes taken to the river
head and left there for the "Rubba
Mumma." The natives will not eat
the fish of the rivers which she in
habits, for they are supposed to be her
children. 1t is said that wherever the
river nymph resides. provided the foun-
tain is deep and blue. there is a table
of pure gold at which she dimes. 1t is
an enchanted table. and at "sun hot"
(noon) it rises for moment above the
surface of the water and quickly sinks
again.

TRlCO! OR AND COCKADE.
Origin of the Historic Red, White
and blue of France.


Some seventy or eighty years before
France was involved in the flames Of
the revoution-that is. ut the epoch Of
the war Of the succession when she
was in close alliance with Spain and
Bavaria-it was thought desirable to
distinguish the allied soldiers by
cockahe which combined the colors of
the three nations the white of France,
the red of Spain and the blue of Ba-
varia.
TO none of such incidents, however,
would it be wise to attribute the origin
OF the historic tricolor and cockade
adopted 10y revolutionary France. At
the outset there seemed Il likelihood
that green, which Camille nc>moulinS
had populariZed at the PalaiS Royal.
would have become the national color,
but men remembered in time that it
was that Of the livery of the Cumte
dArtois, the most unpopular OF the
Bourbon princes, and it was thereupon
discarded.
A proposition was then made to as
sumo the colors of the city OF Paris
blue and red as Dumas reminds us in
his six Ans Apres.' TO these was
! added the white of SO many glorious
memories, because it had been selected
by the national guard-always faithful
to the throne and it's traditions.
Not until some months after The cap
ture of the Bastille was the tricolor
definitely adopted, when Bailly and
Lafayette presented it to Louis XVI. in
the great hall OF the Hotel de Vile, and
the convention issued a decree in which
it was described as consisting of three
colors-"disposees en- trOis banucs
egales, de maniere que lie bleu soft at
tache la garde du pavilion. lie blanc
au milieu, ct lie rouge hottant dams les
airs'-that is, in equal vertical sec
tons, with the blue inward, the red
outward and the white between.
| This is the historic flag which Ma
poleon's legions, in conjunction with
their eagles, bore VIGOROUSLY from the
Seine to the Elbe, the Tagus, the Boro-
dino and the Danube, which they
planted VIGOROUSLY on the walls Of
almost every European capital.-All
the Year Round.
