The Evil Eye.

The meaning Of the evil eye, the
"ophthaImos baskanos" of the Greeks,
the ''fascinare' OF the Romans, was
probably far more than vulgar super
sition We find traces of 1t in almost
every country. notably TO this day
among the canny Scots who inhabit the
western isles Of the sea, of "Ulva dark
and Colonsay," OF Skye and the Heb
rides, and among the Turks, who dis
trust the evil eye OF the stranger. But
in old classical days the power seems
chiefly 10 have been used for the pur-
pose @f grievously affecting the live
stock Of disagreeabIe neighbOrs. So
we find 70 this day in Ireland, parts Of
Scotland aud the west Of England
where this belief is still prevalent Ger
tainIy, in some form or other, mesmeric
fascination by the eye has always been
known But that any one person. with
10 matter how evil an eye, should be
able to charm fE&htenad~ animals to

Hospitality has long been reckOned
among the virtues OF this nation, but
how very virtuous Americans are in
this respect is probably not realized
even by them till they go to other
countries and experience the hospi-
tally offered there. or course, the
Englishman. being our own flesh and
blood, is given to hospitality almost up
to the American standard, although

Why "a ~Limited~ Trainr

The question why is limited train"
so called has been propounded to a
general passenger agent, who replies
as follows:
First--It is limited as TO its time.
SecOnd.-It is limited as to the num-
Der OF cars and weight OF train.
Third-It is limited as to the class
of cars.
FOurth.-It is limited as to the num-
Der and class OF passengers permitted
transportation thereon.
This last limit is adopted so that
every passenger may have ample ac-
cOmmOda ton and not be crowded or
interfered with by other passengers.
The fact that an additional fare is
charged on n limited train and. fur
Their, that nothing but first class tick
cts are accepted for passage tends to
limit the class OF travel which is car
