s. In some part: Of England peculiar
whistling or yelplng noises are heard
In the air after dusk and early in the
morning before daylight during the
winter months. Sometimes. however,
the noise IL described as beautiful
sounds like music, high up iii the air.
which gradually die away. The gen
eral belief is that the seven whis-
tiers as they are called. IRE the fore
tellers OF bad luck. disaster or death
to some one in the locality. 1t is Il
very ancient suggestion. Both swifts
and plovers have been suggested us
the "whistlers." 1t may be noted that
plovers are additionally supposed to
contain the souls of those who assisted
at the cruciixion and in consequence
We're doomed to float in the air for
ever. Really. the "whistlers" are Wild
geon. or teal, as they flit from their
feeding grounds. passage always
made under cover of darkness. In
Shropshire the sound is described us re-
sembling that of many larks singing,
and the folklore of both Shropshire
and Worcestershire says. 'They are
seven birds. and the six fly about con-
''tinually together looking for the sew
enth. and when they find him the world
will come to an end"
Everywhere, without exception. the
seven whistlers" are believed to pre-
sage i'll, but the superstition seems to
be more particularly miners notion.
II they hear the warning voice Of the
''seven whistlers." birds sent, as they
say. by Providence to warn them Of an
impending danger. not man will de.
scend into the pit until the following
day. For example. in September, 1874,
the following paragraph went the
round of the papers: ION Monday
morning large numbers of the miners
employed at the Bedworth collieries
in North Warwickshire. giving way to
q superstition which has long prevailed
among their class, refused to descend
into the pits in which they are employ
ed. During Sunday night it was stated
that the seven whistlers' had been
distinctly heard in the neighborhood of
Bedworth. and the result was that on
the following morning many of the
men positively refused to descend into
the pits
| Morfa colliery. in South Wales, is
notorious for its uncanny traditions.
The "seven whistlers" were heard
there before great explosion in the
sixties and before another in 1890,
when nearly hundred miners were
entombed. In December, 1895. it was
said that they had been heard yet
again. whereupon the men struck work
and could not be induced to resume it
until the government inspector had
made close examination of the work
ings aud reported all safe. In July.
1902. another instance of colliery
strike. founded upon the same super
stition, occurred in England.

Some of the Democratic Party
leaders are seriously debating the
advisability of Incorporating the
Good Road Slogan" as plank into
the National Platform. This move
ment, while but small thing a few
years ago, has grown to such mo-
mentous proportions, as to make t
almost force itself on one or the 9th
er OF the Great National Parties.
Like some other questions that have
bubbled to the top in late years, may
be ingeniopsly disposed OF by shrewd
politicians in meeting favor from
each party but not being selected as
an issue by either If that method
be resorted to now TO ditch it, look
out for it later ON, for its a problem
which the interest of too big per
centage of our people desire settled,
to lie dead.

There is but one safe and accurate
deduction to be drawn from specula-

Eastern struggle by the drawing of
the great fighting powers of Europe
into the vortex, that of the complete
extinction of China as an independ-
ent entity, with sundry slicing
amongst the contenders for her do
