One of the traditional stories of the
town OF Fairfield, Conn. recounts n
wild dash from the pulpit made by n
worthy and beloved pastor 'of the
Episcopal flock, DR. Labaree.
1t was on Sunday more than
hundred years ago. The service had
been 1Fld, the prayers said, the hymns
sung, and the parson began his SER
mon. AS he proceeded his gestures
became very energetic. He brought
his right hand down with great force.
Then he turned pale, cleared the pull
pit stairs at a bound. dashed out the
church door and ran toward the pond
a short distance away.
The congregation followed In bewil-
dered pursuit and saw their venerable
pastor with flying robe rush into the
water until it came to his neck. Then
turning round. he faced his astonished
audience and said:
Dearly beloved brethren, am not
crazy, us no doubt many of you think.

TroIIone n work.


It was the customary habit Of An
thony TroIlope, perhaps the most me
thOdIcal of we'll known English novel
lists. to always write with his watch
open on his desk. When ut work he
drilled himself into the practice of
writing $50 words every quarter OF an
hour and placed his watch before him
to make sure of completing his thou
sand words an hour. He poohpoohed
the idea of waiting for inspiration and
punctuaIly produced his copy with the
regularity OF clocbwoEk whatever his
mood at the moment. He made a cal
culation to show that Ia this way, by

According to Professor Rowland, the
safest of all places In a thunderstorm
Is an iron bedstead. Lying on this,
one is in kind of metal cage which
acts as a lightning screen This is
contrary to a very generally accepted
theory, as metal of all kinds and forms
Is generally avoided under the belief
that 1t attracts the electric fluid. Trees,
experience shows, are very dangerous
places to shelter beneath In thunder
storms. and Isolated trees more so than
a clump, especially IL near water. An
pax tree by the side OF a pond is con-
sidered by electricians as peculiarly
unsafe. but water and damp ground
are to be avoided quite As much as
trees. II the storm is directly over
head it would be safer TO lie on the
earth fiat than to stand up. Indoors
the safest placement to the iron bed
lis in the middle OF the room, and a
room In the middle of the house is
safer than one ut the bottom or top.

FIsbermen who frequent the Grand
banks are perhaps the strangest COM
pound OF daring and superstition that
the world knows. writes p. 7. Afc-
.Grath. Regardless Of n3tionallty-
American, Canadian, Newfoundland OF
French-they are I'LL prey u curious
breads and fancIes Every seafarer,
mariner or fisherman thinks It unlucky
to begin work or start my voyage on
q Friday. While steam Is killing this
idea among other sailors. the fishers
are yet as strongly imbued with 1t as
ever. One OF the most intelligent
Gloucester shippers says that once he
started on codfishing trip on Fri
day, and, while he escaped disaster,
the voyage was sufficiently eventful to
make It memorable. While out In
dory fishing he got lost In the fog for
the niEht-the only time such mlshap
ever occurred to him. Two days later
the forecastle caught fire during the
cooks absence. Another night the
man on watch let go the wrong rope
and all the vessels nets went adritf,
the whole crew having to turn out,
Finally big school of doghsh struck
the fishing ground and drove all other
kinds OF fish away and forced her to
abandon the voyage. All Fthese unto
ward incidents were ascrlOed by the
credulous to having sailed on Friday.
Next to the belief in unlucky sailing
days comes a belief in Jonahs, which
may be either vessels, boats, gear or
men. Thus n vessel known to be I'M
fortunate IS said to be a Jonah, and
however well adapted she may be for
her work It is difficult to get men to go
In her. Some years ago a 6ne, large
vessel was built for a Gloucester firm.
Her skipper and part owner hoped for
great things from her, but a friend
remarked to him that she had been
built by man who had constructed
twenty other vessels in seven years,
none Of which earned a dollar for an
owner, while nearly all had gone on
shore or sunk at sea. For eighteen
months this newest vessel was unlucky
and then the skipper sold out his share
ana left her, convinced that she was
hoodooed. She was lost at sea on her
next voyage. the captain and two men
being drowned and the survivors en-
during great hardships while dashed to
the wreck.
I'm Nova Scotia, where the Grand
banks fishermen are of Dutch descent
and almost morbidly superstitious,
vessel that meets any serious misfor-
tune has to be sold out of the business,
for she can never again be supplied
with n crew. In Newfoundland when
a smack IS tried after leaving the
stocks and fails to realize expectations
in battling with the first storm that
occurs she Is run ashore on the beach
and left there to rot. The French are
the most superstitIous OF all and change
the name OF vessel as soon as she
meets mishap.'-Chicago News.
