The most complete surprise of the day

the House, by vote OF 63 to 26, of the
Quin elective Judiciary bill. The surprise
Law not so much in the passage of the
bill as for the fact that it was directly
in opposition to the recommendations OF
the Governor in a special message sent
to the two houses. The debate on the
bill was interrupted by the reading of
the message, yet the advocates were
able 10 keep their forces well in hand.

A resolution was presented by Mr..

experts on conditions OF the pine lands

their ignorance OF Interior design.
Senate.
The Senate passed the State normal
bill BY vote OF "a to 10. This was just
one more vote than was necessary to give
the measure a clear majority of all the
Senators, but it was sufficient. There is
no telling what the House will do to it,
as that body il said to be the low pres
s1is stronghold. Th. bill provides for
an appropriation of sic0,oo0.
1t was an all-day session of the Sen

was only at lunch time that vote on
recommittal was held in order, that the
suggested amendment might be better

RED rs MiN'S COLOR.
Once Thought to Cure Disease and TO
Ward OF Bad Luck.

The partiality for the color red may
not be mere chance. for it has played
an important part in the art and deco
ration OF all races Of men, and to 1t are
attached many old superstitions,
In our earliest forms Of art we learn
that various colors had special signifi-
canoe. generally in Distinguishing the
sexes. Striking examples Of this custom
are found in Italy. where red was the
insignia OF the male and blue Of the
female. 'r
This explains why in the old paintings
we find the Madonna and other Biblical
women always in the latter color. while
the apostles and masculine saints wore
red. Even to-day in Rome and some
other sections Of Italy. says Hdrper's
Weekly the special color Of its sex Is
pinned to the dress Of the child at the
time Of baptism.
There still remain many curious super
stitions concerning this interesting color.
For instance. a great aversion to red hair
exists among the peasants Of England
and Wales, and often the presence Of q
person with auburn locks is considered
unlucky.
a red haired individual is solemnly be-
lieyed to presage i'll fortune unless the
end OF the line or net is Immediately
passed through flame.
In ol,ien time the efficacy of red as a
cureall for disease was strictly follow cd, !,
and this superstition has not entirely died
out. The physician TO Edward III. OF Eng
land, John Of Gaddeston, tells US that he
brought about a complete cure for one OF
the royal princea who was suffering with
smallpox by surrounding the sick bed
with various red hangings. wrapping
the patient in red blankets covering him
with q scarlet counterpane and adminis-
tering red mulberry wine.
In the west Of Scotland and in the West
Indies II is customary 10 wrap a bit OF
red cloth or flannel around children's
throats to ward of the whooping cough.
In the early part OF the last century a
London shop in Fleet street sold pieces
Of red cloth to those suffering with scarlet
fever, the supposed remedy lying not In
the fabric but in the color.
In New Zealand the house In which
death has occurred Is painted with this
color TO keep out the bad spirits. and the
path Of the funeral procession is bla1ed
with streaks Of red 10 prevent the demons
from following. Even now the Chineee
plait their children's hair with red, silk
10 ward Oh the influence Of evil spirits.
