A Bic Of Superstition.

Superstition IS by no means dead,
even in ultra civilized England, says
London Answers. One Sunday, few
months ago, an interesting proof Of
this fact was seen IN the parish church
Of Sutcomhe, IN north Devon. A
woman who suffered from epilepsy sat
in the porch as the congregation came
out from morning service, and thirty
married men, who at her request had
attended church, passed her one BY
one. AS they passed each dropped a
penny ia her Imp. The thirtieth took
the pennies and gave the woman a
half crown, which was to be made into
4 ring for her to wear V0in supersti-
tien, you exclaim. Yet another
woman, also a martyr to epiIeptic fits.
who went through the same ceremony
at the same place nineteen years ago
has never since suffered.

SERVING LIQUOR IN VERMONT
nIJBS

Someone has dubbed the saloon as
the poor mans club. And the appela.
tion, while scarcely applicable to all
poor men, will do for purposes of con-
trast. In eontradistinction Il, the rich
mans club, which, after all, is badly
named. Rather let's call it the club Of
the man who Is able to pay the initia-
ton fee and the stated tax at periodic
intervals. That gives a fair idea OF the
average club of today, not composed
wholly of rich men but in part Of men
who are able to husband their income
30 that it will stretch over this luxury.
There we have two clubs, the so.called
poor nan's club. in which there il no
initiation fee, and the other kind OF
club which imposes money stipulation
on its membership.
Assuming that it il more OF less 81
a privilege to let those who care to
drink have the opportunity to do 30,
is it right and equitable to permit the
members Of the so-called rich mans
club to buy liquid refreshments, while
in the same community the doors Of the
so-ealled poor mans club are closed
BY fat of the voters who by a majority
declaration said that no liquor should
be sold under local option principle
This sort Of condition has been allowed
to exist for a time in several commune
ties in Vermont, the doors of the poor
mems club barred and the buffet Of the
rich mans club wide open. Attorney
General Fits has expressed the opinion
that 1t is contrary to the spirit 81 the
local option law that clubs IN no-license
communities should Be allowed to dis.
pense liquor To their membera. Such a
position seems to be well taken. Let
organizations in the various no-license
towns and cities Of the state take notice
and close their Bullets.

SUBSTITUTE COPPER FOR GOLD.
Bank of England Branch SwindIed in
an Unusual Way.

London-A remarkable story Of
halfpennies being substituted for half
sovereigns was told at the Manchester
city police court the other day, when
Henry Douglas Anderson, who had
been employed at the Manchester
branch of the Bank of England and
after absconding bad been arrested in
Canada, was charged with stealing

In stating the case for the prosecu-
tion, F. E. Smith, NJ P, said that the
prisoners duty was that of separating
light weight gold coins from those
of full weight and he had to put the
full weight coins into bags which he
had to label and sign. On July 81 he
absented himself, and on August the
bank issued % bags of half sovereigns
TO Messrs. Williams, DeacOn's bank,
and IA of them, which had been made
up by the prisoner, were found to
have been tampered with, half sOver-
eigns having been replaced by the nee
essary number of haIfpennies to make
up the correct weight. Two other
bags in the banks treasury were also
found to have been tampered with in
the same way, and the total sum
missing was G1,081.
On September Is the bank received

Meanings Of "Physles." ."

Sir Frederick Treves vision of a
good time coming when physic will be
thrown to the dogs will startle the
great host of medicine lovers, which
is still going strong One of the most
curious signs of The popularity OF
''physic" is the specialization OF the
word in popular speech to the sense
of pills and doses. Literally it means
only natural and the physics" Of
ancient Greece were natural philoso-
pliers. Later, however, the name was
taken by sorcerers, who pretended 10
special knowledge of the powers Of
nature. and finally came the modern
worlds physician" and .'physic." ="
This special sense has taken so strong
hold on the popular mind that the
mistake of the valetudinarian who
thought Bagehot's Physics and Poll
tics" was a work on the law of pat
ent medicines. was Ineligible
enough.-London Chronicle.
