M0HAMMEDANs OF INDIA.
Superstition Seems to Govern Most ot

Superstition Seems to Govern Most of
 Their Actions.
 Mohammedans of India are very superstitious. No Mohammedan will take a bath on Sunday or Tuesday. But if one bathes on Wednesday all misfortunes and misery that are in store for him till the next Wednesday will be averted. As rule, all Moham- medans bathe on Fridays before going to perform the jumma prayers. For donning new clothes Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday are regarded as bad days. If any one dons new dress or puts on a new cloth or allows his tailor to cut a piece of cloth on these days, he will live a miserable life till that dress or cloth gets torn or is thrown away. If shirt is torn and if the wearer wants to stitch it, it must be taken oil, for if 1t is stitched while on the body the person will soon die. A Moham- medan will never allow a barber to come near him on Tuesdays, for Tues days and Saturdays and Sundays are bad days for shaving. If absolutely necessary he will get himself shaved on Saturday or Sunday, but never on Tuesday, as his star is supposed to fall in blood if he does so If one receives money or some valuable thing, 1t is taken with the right hand, for if 1t Is taken with the left the person re- ceiving 1t is said to forget all about 1t very soon or to mislay it. A de vout Moha mmedan will not start on Journey on Wednesday,, for it is be- lieyed he will never return home safe ly if he does so And 1t Is said that even a snake never ventures out of It's hole on this day.

ELECTRICITY TO
 HATCH EGGS
California Man finds way to Get
 AlL PuiletS.

Stockton, Cal.-It has fallen to the lot of Stockton poultry breeder to adopt the most unique plan of in- auencing the sex of matching chicks, and the experiment is being watched with great interest by the other poul- cry men.
 The principle on which his experi- ments are based is the theory that the chicks produced will have a ten dency to have the likeness in sex markings of the more vital parent.
 The Stockton breeder has taken electricity as the greatest vitalizing agent. For his tests he has a pen of we'll bred chickens. The roosts in the coup have been made of steel, with which electric batteries are con- nected. The roosters are removed from these coups each night and the hens receive constant current of electricity.
 The local breeder thinks that by this means greater vitality will be imparted to the hens that the chick ems matched from their eggs will be of their likeness. He say shis pre- liminary experiments seem to justify his theory.

THE MILITARY SQUARE
A Formation Borrowed by Wallace
 From the FIemngs.

A Formation Borrowed by Wallace
 From tho Flemings.
 The greatest of all Scottish anniver- saries is that of Bannockburn, fought in the year 1914. Apart from it's bear. ing on the independence of Scotland, the battle will always have an excep- tional interest from the military point of view, as Bannockburn may be said to have been the birthplace of the British square. Proud Edwards" army mainly consisted of cavalry, while that of the Scots, on the other hand, was almost exclusively composed of foot folk armed with the spear, and these Bruce threw into "schil- troms." or oblong squares, a formation borrowed by Wallace from the Flem- ings. who had employed 1t with suc- cess at Courtray to resist the charge of the English cavalry
 Hitherto the mounted mail clad knight had carried everything before him, but Courtray and Bannockburn proved that he was powerless to break resolute spear armed infantry drawn up in "schiltrom," or hedgehog, forma- lion, and these two battles revolution ized the tactics of the continent and of our own island. Profting by the lesson which had been taught them at Bannockburn, the English applied the tactics of the Scots with brilliant success at Crecy and still more at Agincourt As it was the Scots who may be said to have originated the British square at Bannockburn, so 1t was they again who at Balaklava were the first to discard 1t with their "thin red line," and now, owing to our changed conditions of warfare, 1t is discarded ltogether.-London Chron- icle

SAFE AND SAVE IN
CELEBRATING FOURTH
Numerous Governors of West
ern States Give COuntenance
to the Movement.
" T,e,eed Wire 10 The Tribune.

BY Leased Wire to The Tribune.
NEW YORK, June 4.-The agitation
for "safe and snne' Fourth of July
is greater this year than it has ever
been before. In some cities elections
have been held to allow children to
vote on the question. The Tribune rep
resentative has gathered of governors
of several states views on this ques-
tion. Their remarks are as follows:
Governor John f. Shafroth Of Colo
rado: "I regard the movement for a
safe and sane Fourth Of July as a
most excellent one. The loss of life
and limb from the celebration with
fireworks has been so appalling as to
make tho people think seriously on this
subject That, together with detriment
to sick and nervous people, should call
for some relief. In my opinion, pic.
MICS, public speaking, thcaters and
other amusements should be the order
fireworks in the evening. Such oh.
scrvanccs Of the day would undoubted-
ly result in the diminution Of accidents,
the stimulation OF patriotic action
and moro enjoyable time for all the
people,
Would Not Bar Fireworks.
Governor A. Bernhardt Of Minnesota:
"While firmly believe in 'safo
and sane Fourth of July, | am not dis
posed to draw the line ON harmless fire
works and tho like to such An extent
that the youngsters would have no
means for celebrating. A movement is
on foot in this state, however. to con.
fine the celebration to safe lines and
the governor is cooperating with the
municipalities. There are no laws,
however, against the sale of fireworks
as such in this state.'
Governor Benson of Oregon: "I be
lieve that tho American people should
take steps to bring about safe and
sane celebration of independence day.
The patriots Of old who signed the Dec
laration of Independence and fought
and died that this country might be
free, did not have in mind the charac'
ter Of celebrations that have been wit
messed annually, especially those seen
in larger cities. / am firm believer In
all forms of celebration on Independ.

our time-honored customs, but the time
has come for drastic action against the
irecracker, the toy pistol and the tin
horn. These articles are not the prop.
er agencies Of patriotism and many
lives are lost annually because of their
indiscriminate and improper use. But
the solution Of the whole question lies
in the abolishment of the frecracker

substitution of some safer method OF
