The nearest farmhouse was that of
Mr.. Begole. a prosperous and substan-
tial farmer, to which the party at once
repaired, and requested that breakfast
be furnished the prince. Mrs. Begole
responded with alacrity. The prince
was taken into the best room, where,
while waiting for breakfast, he sat
down on the edge of the bed. Imme-
diately a great squall arose from I'M

that the prince had sat upon the son,
Henry Begole. heir apparent of the
household, who was at that time about
a year old.
The prince apologixed to Mrs. Be-

w ASHINGTON.-"If you pick your
w teeth with a splinter taken from
a tree which has been struck by
lightning will you ever have tooth
ache?"
This, and three thousand other va
rieties of superstitious beliefs, having
been Investigated by DR.. f. B. Dress
lar, professor Of psychology in the
University of Alabama, he found that
as per cent. of the people whom he
questioned believed in them. This
was his declaration in an address be-
fore the Medico-Psychological associa-
ton, one Of the branches of the Amer
lean Congress of Physicians and Sur
geons.
SuperstitiOns and superstitious be-
liefs are still powerful factors in hui
man behavior, he said, and, as far as
known, superstition is exclusively a
human manifestation, not being
known among lower animals. 1t Is
due, he added, to al animistic con-
ception of the universe which holds
that sticks and stones play a part in
the life Of man and conspire against
him. Mans superstitious beliefs are

belle. 81 wouldn't have one if you'd
give 1t to me. They're too hot for

Sour grapes" was Miss Blanks
comment, as she swept out of the
room.
The benevolent, nOt to say paternal-
ly inclined officials of the department,
however, were confronted with the
problem Of whether or not the seal
grounds of the Pribiolf islands shall
be closed under authority granted by
congress. If the grounds are closed
the price of sealskin coats will go
skyward, along with other necessities.
If they are left open the price will re-
main at the present figure for a while
longer, but eventually will go up, Is
the f%ur-bearing herds of the Boring
sea are depleted. SO to the officials
of the department the issue has re-
solved itself into the question as to
whether 1t is best to hold down the

sealing rights and letting the women

high prices.
