a splinter cut from tree which has been struck by lightning. that they will never have the toothache There are some 5000 different superstitions which still hold sway in the world. It is day of enlight- enment. It is day when we feel the influence of higher education, and yet the most educated, the best read and the wisest are sub ject to superstitious influences and superstitious beliefs.
 Recently pr. F. B. rressler, professor of psychology in the Uni versity of Alabama, made a careful study of the different superstitions. His research has extended over a term of years, and some 5000 be- liefs have been properly recorded. He holds that AS per cent of the people whom he has questioned believe in one superstition or an other. In an address recently de- livered before the Medico-Psychol- ogical Society in Washington, he made several astonishing revela- tions, in regard to the people of this country, which goes to show that there still fingers in the minds of many the old superstitious be- liefs which were current in the age of ignorance. His statements were backed with facts and were no doubt true. Superstitions and superstitious beliefs are still pow erful factors in human behavior. It is stictly a human manifestation for there is no animal that has ever shown symptoms of superstition. According to Dr. Dressler, it is due to an animistic conception of the universe, which holds that sticks and stones play part in the life of man and conspire against him.
 Mans superstitious beliefs do play great part in his life. They are variable and change with the conditions of mind and body and even with the weather and times of the day.
 No one over sees ghosts in the day time, and the old negro man. my will tell you that only the left hind foot of a rabbit killed in graveyard at midnight will bring immunity from all the ills that the flesh is heir to.
 Not everybody is superstitious and most men are above the belief even. and yet upon a close investi- gation it will be found that they have lurking belief in certain signs, or in certain accepted ways of doing things which come very near being superstitious beliefs. Ex.

SUPERSTITION A BIG FACTOR.

Superstition is yet a big factor in the affairs of men. We laugh at the idea, but there is a latent in fiuence still asserting itself in su- perstitious minds. The appear ance of the comet proved this, and there are still those who are con- fident if they pick their teeth with
