SAILORS HAVE OPP BELIEFS.
Good and Bad Luck Thought to Be
Brought by Birds.

Birds, as inhabitants Of the air. were
naturally chosen by the ancients a.
oracles and augurs Of future happen
ings. The constituencies to atmos-
'pheric changes shown by many birds
aided in establishing these notions.
The real Indications often furnished by
sea birds of coming storm or calm
were doubtless magnified by the anx-
ious. superstitious sailor. These indi-
cations, be II explained. seldom pre-
cede the atmospheric changes more
than few hours.
The custom of hanging the sea swal-
low SO that the bill may point to the
wind arose from the old-time custom
of suspending the bird by the feet
expecting 1t would renew its feathers
as II alive.
The albatross is believed by Jack
Tar to sleep on the winds. 1t was at
one time thought that the petrol
Matched its eggs under its wings.
The kingfisher was at one time kept
in chests to keep away moths.
The fshhawk was esteemed bring
err Of good luck; 1t BODIED good 'or evil
as its cry was to the right or left.
There was an old superstition that
gulls were never seen bleeding. Shoot
Ing stars were then supposed to be the
half digested food of winter gulls.

The Charming Woman.

or all the women born into an un.
grateful and unappreciative world none
can compare to the really charming
one. We may admire the beauty and
gaze In awe at the Questioning, hug
the dear things of our acquaintance
and thump the good sort" on the
back. but In the presence of a person.
ality which charms" US we remain
in speechless and almost breathlcss
fascination. Truly, of every such
woman can II be said which was said
by st. Simon of one of the most fas
chatting women OF his time, that she
walks like goddess on the clouds.

A Queer Habit.

A New Jersey dog has most pecu.
liar habit which is that regularly
every Sunday and holiday he fights
with some of his canine friends. Ordi-
nary days he is the most quiet and
peaceable dog imaginable. and would
no more think Of picking quarrel
than of refusing a bone. But always
on Sundays and holidays that it is he
celebrates. Out he starts spelling for
fight, tail erect and hair bristling.
He never fails to find one, either!
Why he does this no one has ever been
able to find cut, but there seems to be
something in the air on those special
days that excites his fighting instincts.
and he never misses an opportunity.

The right kind Of wife never harps
upon her husbands misdeeds. still less
does she remind him of his misfor-
tunes. No woman should marry a
man unless her love for him be of the
fiber which hopeth all things. believeth
all things, and is not easily provoked"
says Home Chat. The right kind OF
wife helps man when he falls an en-
courages him to try again. instead Of
railing at him Tor the stumble after he
has risen to his feet.

Immediately upon his surrender Of
the governors Office, Mr.. Chamber-
lain removed to New York, where he
practiced his profession for some
years with much success. In 1889 he
was appointed receiver. Of the South
Carolina railway, and was thus
brought in contact with the people
of this state in new and non-poli-

Mr.. Chamberlain was man of fine
intellect and considerable scholar
ship. Though without previous ex-
perience as lawyer he acquitted
himself very creditably in the ottor-
ney generals office. He had some
novel questions to handle and he was
pitted against lawyers of great re-
pute. His general practice was small
and his education as a lawyer was in
large part received after he left
South Carolina.

The passion for duellng. which had
cost France, II was said, between 1000
and 5000 lives during the twenty
years of Henry Tvs reign, was at its
height when his son came 10 the
throne. The council OF Trent In 1545
had soimeEly condemned the practice
OF single combat, impartially Including
principals, seconds and spectators In
Its penalty OF accommodation. In
1902 an edict Of Henry pronounced the
"damnable custom OF dueling introduc-
ed by the corruption of the century"
TO be the cause OF so many piteous ac-
cidents. to the extreme regret and dis
pleasure OF the king and to the irrep-
arabic damage of the state that we
should count ourselves unworthy to
hold the scepter IL we delayed to re-
press the enormity or this crime"
"A whole series OF cdlcts followed TO

Flame and Wire Gauxe.

To Sir Humphry Davy belongs the
credit OF discovering that the flame of
burning gas will not pass through wire
gauze having 7S4 meSheS 10 the square
inch. This contention may be tested by
bringing flame in contact with SINH
lar gauze, when it will be found that
the hame will not so through the
meShes. This is owing to the cooling
action OF the wire. which tends to re.
duce the temperature of the flame be
low the ignition point. the unburned gas
passing harmlessly through. OF course
If the gauze becomes overheated the
flame Is able 10 get through.
