Some Superstitions.

When starting for the river, says
Il writer in London Field, if you
have to turn back and get some
thing that you have forgotten, you
are sure to catch little or nothing
that day. This is an article of
Devon folklore, and | am inclined
to think the west country folk right
herein. The disappointment, the
hurry and the bringing of wrong
things always act prejudicially
upon what ought to be the unruf-
fled, even temper of a successful
angler. He becomes hasty and
rash, most often with i'll results to
his basket. In the western high
lands it is currently believed that if
you see a colt with its back to you
when starting in the morning on
fishing excursion it is the worst
OF luck, only to be exceeded should
you hear a cuckoo before breakfast.

A GREAT GAME.
Walking Suits Every Mood, softsns
Trouble and Tempers Sorrow.

Trouble ana lempefs SORROW
There is no substitute for the
art of walking. 1t permits no prox-
les. Books may be retold by the
reader, sermons repeated by the
hearer, pictures may be described
by the art critics or the. humber
visitor. No one can portray the
pleasures of walking, nor can its ad-
yantages be secured at second hand.
1t must be ones own individual en-
pIoyment. Walking is game for any
mood. The sad, the downhearted,
the exultant, the sereneS content,
all, and those in any other mental
condition, may find satisfaction in
wandering out upon the earth.
Walking softens sorrow, tempers
trouble and adds halo unto happi-
ness. 1t gives health and yigor to
body and mind. Many a headache
has been chased away by walking
and many a heartache lifted or
ightened. The best thing for the
inside of a man is the outside of the
earth. Unlike other games, walk
ing may be played in company or
alone. 1t may be for one, two or
more. 1t is at its best, of course,
when. played by two who are really
one. Yet solitary journey is bet
ter far than a continual stay in the
house at toll or in company gay
Better loaf and invite ones soul
than work or play overmuch and
leave ones spirit qtrophied. Sun
shine and fresh air are twin agents
in the promotion of happiness and
health and peace
Every man who walks should be
Il lover. He should be not merely
lover of his companion, but of the
birds and buzzing bees, the burst
ing leaves and the blue ceiling of
the sky beyond. One may walk in
winter days full of frost and in
summer when the days are full of
fire. IT'S in the years rosy dawn,
when nature is robing in garments
of green and gold, that she gives
most of her beauty to him who
loves and worships her. The man
who slowly walks adown the street
or through the country fields may
then, if ever, look through the ma
ture up to the natures God.-Wal-
ter Williams in Columbia Herald.

A Curious LOOKING Euu,

4 sharks egg is one of the most
odd looking things imaginable and
has no more resemblance to an egg,
strictly speaking, than it has to a
paving stone. In one variety it is
pillow shaped and has long "horn'
or "feeler" at each corner. 1t is
about two inches long and the color
almost pure black. 1t is unprovided
with shell, as We understand that
word, but the contents are protect
ed by Il thick, leathery covering
which has almost as much elasticity
about it as a covering of rubber
would have. The "feelers" men
toned catch hold of and wind them
selves around pieces of seaweed and
other floating objects and hang I'M
til the egg is Matched. One variety
of the shark lays eighteen eggs dur
ing the month of April. These float
about until early in December,
when the little sharks emerge.

PAY DAY
IS ASKED FOR
RETAIL MERCHANTS OF AUGUSTA
WANTS RAILROAD TO PAY
EMPLOYEES EARLY.

Augusta, July 27.-At the meeting
of the Retail Merchants Association
which VIII be called within the next
few days, a resolution will be intro
dnced which will prove of vital inter
est, not only to the retail merchants
but to the railroad employees of the
city.
AS the arrangements now are, the
railroads have no fixed day for pay
ing off, and in some cases, the pay day
Is SO late.jp the month as to make it
rather inconvenient for all interested.
Under the present conditions some
Of the employees are unable to set
definite dates on which they can meet
their obligations, thereby inconven-
fencing creditors, and a change such
as will be suggested in the resolution
would bring about much more satisfac-
tory condition of affairs.
The resolution will be in the nature
of request to all railroads entering
the city to pay their employees On
some definite date, between the fret
and the tenth preferably but not later
than the fifteenth of each month. 1t
is not known what action the rail
roads will take on the request, but is
matter which interests large num-
Der of Augustans very much, and the
developments will be watched with
great deal of interest.

bill, providing for the creation OF an
auxiliary force to be known as "Geor-

which he is chairman. The bill has
been passed by the senate and recom-
mended favorably by the house COM
mittee. Several prominent military
men want TO be heard on the measure
They will protest against its passage
on the ground that it will injure the
regular service.
Among the new bills introduced to-
day was one to let a plurality vote
decide the result of the election of
presidential electors. 1t came from
Mr.. Brown of Carroll. Mr.. Smith of
Campbell introduced one to provide
a constitutional amendment declaring
the convict lease system at an end
after three years. Another by Mr.
Ellison of Harris would abolish a fee
system as it applies to county treas
urers and place such officers on
salary basis.
