THEIR WEAK POINTS.


The Fears and Superstitfons of Some
Famous Men.
All great people have had their fol-
lies, which is another way of saying
that all have their weak points. DR..
Johnson, with all his philosophy, was
not without a superstition. He was
very careful not to enter a room with
his left foot foremost. If by any
chance he did so he would Immediately
step back and re-enter with his right
foot foremost. He was terribly afraid
of death, too, and would not suffer it
to be mentioned in his presence.
Julius Caesar, to whom the shouts of
thousands of the enemy were butsweet
music, was MORALLY afraid Of the
sound of thunder and always wanted
to get underground to escape the dread.
full noise.
Marshal SAKE, who loved to look
upon the ranks Of opposing armies.
fed and screamed in terror at the sight
Of q cat.
Peter the Great could scarcely be
persuaded to cross a bridge, and when
ever he placed his foot on one he would
cry out with fear. Like the great man
ne was, he tried to overcome his weak
ness, but he was never able to do So
And Byron would never help any one
to salt at table, nor would he be helped
himself, and if any salt were spilled he
would Immediately get up and leave.

"John Doe" proceedings were abol-
ished by law in Great Britain in 1852.
Previous to that time John Doe had
figured in the old fashioned ejectment
action for the recovery of the posses
sion of land, together with damages
for the wrongful withholding thereof.
For various reasons of convenience
and history dating from the reign Of
Edward III. A did not proceed against
B directly in such case. Instead A
delivered to B an entirely false state
ment from the fictitious "John Doe"
that A had devised the land to John"
for term of years. and "John' had
been ousted from it by the equally
fictitious Richard Roe" Then Rich
ard informed B that he was not going
to defend the action himself, but B
must do 1t, and so on. Occasionally,
by way of variety, John Doe" gave
place to one "Goodtitle."

Columbia River Thrice Named.

The Columbia river has had three
names. 1t was first called the Oregon.
Afterward it was called the st. Rogue,
but when 1t was discovered by Robert
Gray in 1902 it was given the name Of
his vessel, the Columbia, in place of
the two floating appellations, Oregon
and st. Rogue. According to Whitney.
the original name of the river was the
Orejon, big ear or lone that has big
ears" the allusion being to the custom
of the Indians who were found in its
region of stretching their ears by Dor.
ing them and crowding them with or

BABIES IN ARABIA.

Their Charms and Perfumes and tho
Shaving of Heads.
Life has exceptional difficulties for
the babies Of Arabia, especially for
those who are of sufficiently high rank
to be brought up according to all the
ancient customs of their race. A royal
baby's first toilet there consists in
winding bandage about its body aft
er it has been carefully bathed and per-
fumed.
If the child be girl, on the seventh
day Of her birth, holes, usually six in
number, are pricked in her ears, and
when she is two months old heavy gold
rings are attached to them, to be worn
throughout her lifetime except during
periods of mourning for relatives. On
the fortieth day the baby's head is
shaved, and the disposal of the hair is
regarded as very weighty matter. 1t
must not be burned or carelessly
thrown away, but buried, thrown into
the sea or hidden away.
The fortieth day marks a turning point
In the child's life. Heretofore it has
only been seen by few, but now it may
be seen by anybody and is regarded as
fairly launched on the tide Of existence
Several charms are attached to its body
for protection against the "evil eye"
Everything the child uses is perfumed
and covered at night with jasmine
and before it is used fumigated with
amber and musk and sprinkled with
altar of roses.

at the line, I'm the deep bosom Of the

completely changed and with them the
tastes of the people. The probability
fs that some OF the old actors OF only
q few years ago would excite much
merriment in their delineation of trag-

generation was wont in the tent scene

soap In his mouth, so that, after the ap-

VIRGINS GARLANDS.
Memorials In m English Church t.
Girls True 20 First Love.

Memorials In m English Church to
Girls True TO First Love.
There are seven virgins garlands
still in existence In Minsterley church.
Salop, the first of them bearing the
date 1854 and the last 1851.
They consist of silk ribbons and
paper, ball shaped, and are covered
with rosettes, the inside center of the
cane or wire frame supporting a pair
of paper gloves. They represent ro-
mantle custom of very ancient origin
and are sacred to the memory of girls
who while betrothed in their youth
lost their intended husbands by death,
yet remained true to their first loves.
Each maiden designed her own gar
land, and at her death this simple en-
blem was borne before her by the viii
lage lasses, the white gloves being aft
erward added. After the obsequies
these garlands were suspended in the
village church on a rod bearing at its
extremity a heart in the shape of an
escutcheon, upon which the initials and
date were inscribed. These were origi-
nally fixed above the maiden's pew.
Some of the earliest and forgotten
garlands We're composed of real flow
ers, but later the covered hoops de-
scribed were substituted.
There is a passing allusion to this
simple memorial of the early dead
in Hamlet" yet here she is allowed
her virgin Grants" Grants" signifying
garlands.-I.ondon Graphic.
