THE FRIDAY SUPERSTITION.
Il Is Universal and the Reasons Vary
\n;I.t,,


No superstition is commoner or
more widely spread than the belief IN
the unluckiness Of Friday, which is
usually attributed to the fact that the
Cruciflxion took place on that day, and
sometimes to the character of F'reya,
the Scandinavian goddess from whom
the day takes it's name. A wilder eX-
planation is found in the legend that
Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit
on a Friday and died on a Friday.
There is another side to the shield,
however. When Louis XIII. of France
lay dying, on Thursday, May IA, 1643,
he summoned his physicians, says his
biographer, and asked them If they
thought he would live till the next day,
and explained that Friday had al
ways been his lucky day; that all the
enterprises he had begun on that day
had proved successful; that he had
been victorious in all battles fought
on that day; and that it was his for
tunate day. in short, and on 1t he
would wish to die. The wish was not
granted. for the king died few hours
before the Friday dawned. Another
believer in Friday was Count Jules
Andrassy, who, when his daughter was
married to Count Louis Batthyani. IN
June, 1882, insisted that the wedding
should take place on Friday, because,
he said, all the happy events of his
own life had taken place on that day.
But these instances Of a belief In
the personal good fortune attaching to
Friday are but very slight set-off
to the almost universal feeling against
the day. Although Count Andrassy
had found it lucky, his fellow country
men, the Magyars, have as strong a

vLADIvosToK AND HAKoDATE.
What Old Sailors Say of These Two
Northern Towns.

There has been considerable specu-
vessel getting near enough to Hako-
date to damage the town at this sea-
son Of the year, because Of its high
latitude. This Is the port where New
Bedford whalers touch before entering
the Okhotsk Sea, and with a view Of
better informing Standard readers as
to the possibilities, Capt. Joshua G.
Baker Of Padanaram was seen yester-
day afternoon. From him may be gain
ed a clearer idea of the situation, SO
far as relates to that port, so well
known by reputation by people here,
who are or who have been concerned In
whaling.
"Hakodate lies in latitude AZ north"
said Capt. Baker, land Is on the south
ern edge Of the island Of Yezo. which
is separated from the larger island
south by the Tsuga strait.
have been there a great many
ed harbor, and in all my experience I
never heard Of the harbor freezing.
The current is very strong in Tsuga
strait, so strong in fact that ice could
not possibly make, and although snow
storms are frequent I can't say as
ever heard Of ice making. either In
Hakodate harbor or in the strait.
1.-The harbor is a bold one at the
head Of quite a large bay, and there
would be no difficulty for an enemy en-
tering the waters and bombarding the
city,"
Vladivostok Is about 400 miles west
from the Japanese port, and is on the
mainland. 1t is in about the same lat
itude as Hakodate, although the con-
ditions are the opposite and the harbor
is a closed one all winter long. Once
frozen in there when winter sets in, the
Ice does not break up until warmer
weather..
Capt. Edmund F. Bolles, in speaking
of Vladivostok, says it is close har-
Dor with a narrow entrance like that Of
New Bedford. The city Is on the east
-hore of basin, and once In there in
winter 1t means stay there until re-
leased by warm weather, when the ice
breaks up, unless other means are re-
sorted to for breaking out vessel, for
1t is possible to blow out a passage or
even saw out a channel.
A few years ago the late Charles
Cotter, while on United States war
vessel, spent the whole winter at Via
divostok and not until late in the
spring was the ship released. In cruis-
ing the warship put in at that harbor
and was caught there by remaining too
long. On his return home Mr.. Cotter
told of the desolate appearance OF his
surroundings. One Of the incidents
which he related was that the refuse
from the cabin table and other food
was thrown on the solid ice surround
ing the ship, and so numerous were the
animals seeking food that 1t never ac-
cumulated, but was cleaned up daily by
these animals from shore.-New Bed

COULDN'T HAVE THE HORSES.
A Message That Gen. Washington Re-
eeived From His Mother.

ceived From His Mother.
Much of George Washington's firm
strength of character was due to his
splendid ancestry, as the following lit
tie anecdote will testify:
While accommodating in Westmore-
land county, Va, one Of Gen. Washing
tons officers chanced upon fine team
of horses driven before plough by
burly slave. Finer animals he had
never seen. When his eyes had feasted
on their beauty he cried to the driver:
Hello, good fellow! must have
those horses. They are just such AMI
mails as have been looking for"
The black man grinned, rolled up the
whites of his eyes, put the lash to the
horses flanks and turned up another
furrow in the rich soil. The officer
waited until he had finished the row;
then, throwing back his cavalier cloak,
the ensign Of rank dazzled the slaves
eyes:
Better see missis! Better see
miss's!" he cried, waving his hand to
the south, where, above the cedar
growth, rose the towers Of fine old
Virginia mansion. The officer turned
up the carriage road and soon was rap
ping the great brass knocker' at the
front door. Quick the door swung upon
its ponderous hinges and grave, ma
jestic looking woman confronted the
visitor with an air inquiry.
Madame" said the officer, dofing
his cap and overcome by her dignity.
II have come to claim your horses IN
the name of the government"
my horses?" said she. bending upon
him a pair of eyes born to command.
Sir, you cannot have them. My crops
are out and need my horses in the
field"
II am sorry" said the officer, but
must have them, madame. Such are
the orders Of ms chief"
Your chief? Who Is your chief
pray?" she demanded with restrained
warmth.
1.-The commander of the American
army, Gen. George washington, re-
piled the other, squaring his shoulders
and swelling with pride. A smile OF
triumph softened the sternness OF the
woman's handsome features. Tell
George Washington" said she. that his
mother says he cannot have her
horses"
With an humble apology, the officer
turned away, convinced that he had
found the source Of his chiefs decision
and self command.
And did Washington order his officer
to return and make his mother give up
her horses? No; he listened to the re-
port in silence; then, with one OF his
rare smiles, he bowed his head.-St.
Nicholas.
