The House debate on railroad rates

den of New York. He said ne would
vote for the bill because il was the best
thing in sight at present but he gave
the general impression that he thought
II poor bill

shippers fix the rate because if one
road does not accept their rates another
road Will. this being especially true in
the case Of large shippers. He said
he thought the receiver OF a rebate
ought to be punished as severely as the
giver of a rebate.
'All the demands for lower Rates
comes from the trusts and corporations.
and am afraid that lower rates would
not reduce the cost OF food ana
clothes"
Praise for President.
He praised the President for demand
ing railroad rate legislation, and said II
was due to Mr.. Roosevelrs efforts that
this legislation was 10 be passed.
WIN the legislation be a failure? For
the benefit of the people. hope not" he
said.

That is what is demanded. because il
Is well known that most of the great
industrial combinations have grown up
as a result or favOritism in rates
Mr. Burton paid a tribute To The rail
roads and the men who have built and
managed them, concedlng 10 them the

part III the development OF the country.
Liberal ideas. be said have always ami

SCOTCH SUPERSTiTloNS.
Curious Methods That Were Adepted
 In Sickness and Death.

A method much in vogue in Scotland at one time of ascertaining whether a sickness would prove fatal was to dig two holes in the ground, one called the quick grave, the other the dead hole. The sufferer was then placed between the two, and the hole toward which he turned indicated what would be the outcome of his malady. Sometimes a piece of rock was broken over the head of a person whose last agonies were painful alike to himself and to those who witnessed them It was believed that the heart of the sick man would thus be broken and his release hasten ed Windows and doors are always thrown wide open in order that the de from the house and escape from the evil ones that hover around eager to inthrall his soul.
 During the interval between death and burial hens and cats were kept carefully shut up. A person meeting these animals at such a juncture was doomed to blindness in the future. Moreover, unless a stream divided the two houses, farmers frequently refrain ed from yoking their oxen or horses be- fore the body was '1aid under the turf of truth Many women preserved, with the greatest reverence, their bridal attire to cover them in the cof- fin. Bread and water were placed in the chamber of death, for during the night prior to the burial the spirit of the departed one came to partake of them. Stillborn children and little ones who had not been blessed by the min ister were buried before sunrise In this way their admission to the land of promise was assured. Not to observe the practice was to destine the souls of these bairns to wander homeless and disconsolate.
 The fate of the suicide is lamentable. His body cannot rest in the kirkyard, for it would taint the souls of those who lie therein. Frequently he was buried in lone dike which separated two lairds' estates, and passersby were expected to cast pebble at the rude stone which marked the place.
