SEA SUPERSTITl0NS.
elsns and Tokens That Sway the Men
Who Work Aboard Ship.

There is a general idea that the
sailor labors under more than the
one pet superstition popular tradi
ton assigns TO each individual. Mr.
j. D. j. Kelley, although he de.
clares that "tars" are no more gu.
perstitious than any of their equals
in training and opportunities, cites
m "The Ships Company" many of
the signs and tokens in which those
"who go down to the sea in ships
put their faith.
In the past superstition was a
part of every ship. 1t entered into
its keel, climbed to its flags, ran at
its launching, controlled its crew
and cargo, evoked portents and gov
erned its ventures and arrivals.
A bit of stolen wood was always
mortised into the keel to make q
ship sail fast. A silver coin was
placed in the mainmast step to in
sure lucky ventures. The modern
christening by the wine bottle arose
from the ancient libations poured
on the deck by priests.
On sailing ship lawyers, women
and the clergy are looked upon with
disfayor, as they are supposed to
bring i'll luck. Every black cat that
comes on board Carries gale in
her tail" Whistling is much against
the proprieties of sea life. II one
whistles for a breeze he is only too
apt to bring tornado.
Ship bells are blessed, and to this
day, il a mistake is made in striking
one, it is immediately struck back
ward to break the spell. The belief
in the desertion of sinking ship
by rats is founded on reason, for
rats like to be dry footed. and when
vessel is unsafe it becomes leaky
under deck and too wet for the
creatures comfort.
Figureheads were first images Of
gods, then of saints and sea heroes.
Chinese junks bear two glazing eyes
on their bows, for: mo have two
eyes, how can see? No see, how
can go"

Fine Feathers and Gratitude.

The well dressed woman slipped
two theater tickets into an envelope,
which she proceeded to address to
girl employed by a fashionable
dressmaker.
"That," she explained, 'is a ia
vor that many women with good
clothes confer upon the girls who
are responsible for their fine feath-
ers. In bestowing it we are not
actuated by vanity, but by desire
to give pleasure. After a woman
has been in the millinery or dress
making business for several years
she ceases to take much interest in
the public appearance of the women
who wear her creations, but the
younger girls have a great desire to
see a customer fully dressed for
some occasion for which they have
hurried to finish her clothes. From
long experience / can pick out these

Caustle judge Hawkins.

squirmed and whined, ooh, my

Hawkins took another look at him

The formality of asking a newly
convicted prisoner if he had any
thing to say why sentence should
not be passed upon him brought an
other characteristic retort from the
judge. A prisoner in these circum-
stances usually either says nothing
or curses at large in his rage, but
one of them struck a theatrical pos
ture and with his right hand in the
air shouted: "May the Almighty
strike me dead if I don't speak the

BEARS IN EUROPE.
They Plague the Hsrdsmsn BY RaidSns
Their FIooI<s.


Although the last bear was shot
in Germany in 1886 near Traun-
stein, in Bavaria, bear hunting and
trapping still go on in the very
heart Of Europe. In Pennsylvania,
Hungary, Bosnia and Croatia, all
mountainous regions, there are hun
dreds of bears, and scores Of them
are killed and caught every year.
They are the plague of the shep-
herds and cattle herders who pas
ture their focks among the hills.
They seem to fear neither dogs nor
men and boldly carry off sheep and
calves into the woods before the
eyes of the watchers.
The peasantry retaliate by using
the stolen animals as bait for the
robbers. The bear seldom consumes
the entire carcass at one meal. He
either buries the rest or hides it
with leaves to serve another time.
The country people know this, and
they follow the bears trail to the
place of concealment. When this is
found they determine the direction
in which he departed from his prey,
knowing ne will return when he is
hungry by the same path.
The trap is placed in this line
about yard from the hidden car
cass. 1t is carefully concealed with
leaves and grass, and bruin cannot
help stepping on it with either his
fore or hind paws. When he is Sc
curely caught the herdsmen, who
are MORALLY afraid of him, appear
and kill him at leisure and in per-
feet safety.
Of course the landowners and
sporting class generally do not get
their bear in this cowardly way.
They hunt with dogs and shoot the
game when it is run down.
But this is not easy work. AL
though there are plenty of bears in
a mountain region, it is not uncom-
mon for hunting party to travel
whole day without getting a shot at
one.-Exchange.

us that it had a sequel. Byron, it
will be remembered, refused every
dish, saying he took nothing but
biscuits and soda water and made
his meal of mashed potatoes drench-
ed with vinegar. Rogers completes
the story in his table talk. "Some
days after, meeting Hobhouse, 1
