Country Beliefs About the MINIS.
/. 49,, Flowers and Luck.
There is nothing which grows
around which there is more super
stition woven than the honely
minis. Not only is mint the crown
ing enticement of julep and a
thing which makes sedate Tables
gambol and roll like six-month-old
kittens; but, according to tradition,
the different minis have supernatu-
raj properties, and there are good
and bad minis. Pennyroyal, aside
from its qualification as a flea dis
courager, is said to make a quarrel
some husband and wife stop bicker-
ing if it is given to them by some
friend. Catnip, on the other hand,
when chewed creates quarrelsome-
ness and is said to make even mild
and gentle people fierce. If eatnip
is held in the hand until heated and
then put into the hand Of another,
it will, so goes the superstition; SO
control that person that he or she
cannot leave you so long as the cat
nip is retained in the hand.
Spearmint will prevent illness
so long as it is worn about the wrist.
If spearmint is mixed with salt and
applied to the bite of mad dog,
the wound will heal, it is said. In the
olden days the children used to put
bit of spearmint in the cots on
Christmas day, believing that at the
exact time when the Saviour was
born the mint would blossom.
The superstitions which cluster
around flowers are as many as there
are different flowers. It is consid-
cred unlucky to gather flowers out
Of season, as before and after the
season they are said to belong to
the fairies. The first wild flowers
which are gathered by young wom-
an in the spring should spell the
initials of her future husband, If
the superstition holds true.
Here is schedule of supersti-
lions about finding the first flower
of the season:
If found on Monday, good luck
all the year.
If found on Tuesday, large un-
dertakings, which will be success
full.
If found on Wednesday, a we'd
ding in the family.
If found on Thursday, hard work
with little profit.
If found on Friday, unexpected
wealth.
If found on Saturday, misfor-
tunes.
If found on Sunday, best luck of
all.-New York Tribune.

THE PAY CAR.

he Coin Rack, Crammed With Yellow
Boys, Tempting Sight.
The good old days are gone. In these
heather times railroad men are paid
by check. OF the pay car and it's luxu-
riOus travels G. F. Carter writes in the
American Magazine as follows:
"a metal coin rack crammed to the
muzzle with three denominations OF
yellow boys, fanked with silver, and
on the desk behind 1t a very large
wooden tray, on which were long col
umns of yellow coins-d'ye ever see
anything so pretty in all your life?
No wonder your eyes stuck out until
you could have used them for hat
pegs.
"And all the time an exquisitely mu-
steal 'tinkle, tinkle, clink-clink' welled
up from coin rack and counter In re-
spouse to the calls of the assistant
paymaster. Talk about Beethoven's
symphonies.
eff it were not for that strong wire
screen you could have touched that
fascinating tray. For the infinitesimal
fraction of a second a wicked thought
fitted through your brain. Then you
almost tainted as your rowing eye
stared down the barrel of monstrous
revolver 1t was only in a rack, but it
was within easy reach of the paymas-
ter's hand and most eloquent for all
that. Half dozen Of It's fellows lay
In the handiest places. while as many
Winchesters lying on tables and set
tees came in strong on the chorus.
"Hurriedly your vagrant wits busted
themselves with all the Sunday school
lessons you had ever learned. AS your
subconsciousness perceived that the
head of the roads secret service de-
partment stood on the platform with
his eyes intent on every man in the
car at once, while Conductor Linken-
pin stood on the ground outside very
much alert, with his coat tail bullying
'suggestively, your bosom swelled with
pride over the watchful care the COM
pany had exercised to bring its honest
toilers their hard earned money"
