There are men wiso have congeni-
tai tendency to distrust fate. With the
better half of their minds they may be
optimists, but there is corner which
IL never free from the pain of fear, the
fear of sort of transcendental spite,
Plutarch said of the superstitious that
they believed in the gods and believed
them to be unfriendly. Some survival
of this pagan notion remains to this
day even among those whose reasona-
Bile conviction and reverent faith alike
lead them to totally opposite conclu-
sions. They do not believe they will
have more misfortunes If they take
house which is numbered 13 than If
they took one numbered 81, but they
avoid the former in order to quiet their
own painful imaginations. = London
Spectator.

How They Pass Along Information
About. Their Employers.
In China 1t Is common thing for
some people to bewail the lack of
cook, while their neighbors have num-
bers offering themselves directly the
vacancy occurs. The reason of this is
that each cook hands on to his success
or his employers Character" This he
does by means Of a saucepan left
standing in the kitchen.
If the place be considered a good one
a saucepan will be left on the ground
with the lid put on properly. If the lid
be put on wrong way uppermost it
means that the place is a good one and
that the cook has only left for a time
and means to return as soon as he can.
II the lid be put half in and half out Of
the saucepan it indicates that the place
Is a good one, but the master Is stingy.
If the lid be on properly and some rice
be left in 1t it shows that the servant Is
quite satisfied with everything concern
ing the owners of the house, but that
he Is obliged to leave owing to debts or
other causes which Inconvenience him.
II the employer be In the habit Of max
ing his servants pay for lost or broken
articles a chalk mark will be found on
the bottom of the saucepan, which will
not easily be rubbed OF.
The Chinese hoy" makes his mark
behind the bedroom or pantry door and
the waterman his on the bottom of
tubs. These signs are said to have
been originally adopted by the Chinese
from the Tamils.

TOWN SWEPT BY A TORNADO
STORM CAUSES DEVASTATION AT
ST. JACOB, ILL.
Church Torn to Pieces and Many Per-
sons Narrowly Escape Being
Killed.

Collinsville, Ill.,. April 10.-The town
of st. Jacob, ILL.,, Monday was cut off
from the world, except by telegraph,
as a result of the disastrous tornado
which passed across the southwest COR
ner of Madison county, terrorizing the
populace and leaving Il trail of wreck
age and devastation in it's wake. The
cyclone struck the center of the town,
tearing 20 pieces a church in which
services were being held. 1t was only
by miracle that lives were not lost
among the worshipers gathered there.
st. Jacob is town of 500 people on
the Vandalia railroad, % miles from
st. Louis. Shortly before two o'clock
in the afternoon a funnel-shaped cloud
appeared in the north toward Marine
township. 1t grew in size rapidly and
moved toward the town with great
bounds. In the German Lutheran
church Palm Sunday services were be-
ing held. The pastor, Rev. P. Meyer,
was in the midst of his service when
a glance through an open window re-
vealed to him the storm. Grasping it's
import, he closed the Bible with bang
and told his congregation to flee for
their lives.
There were 100 people in the brick
church and they poured out in body,
Hardly had they cleared the yard
when, with roar, the cyclone struck
the church and tore it to pieces. 1t
was literally dissolved in whirl of
brick and timbers, but none of
the panic=stricken congregation was
touched, although many women were
Frustrated from fright. Twice more
the cyclone struck in the little town.
At the place of George Giger the big
barn was picked up and carried away,
the dead bodies of the horses inside be-
ing found some distance away.
