Of domestic superstitions one of the most curious is that a recalcitrant grate fire may. be made to burn by placing a poker, point upward, upon it. The usual explanation given is that, in some mysterious manner. fit draws the fire up.'' The custom originated in the fact that the poker with the fire bars forms a cross. and the use of this cross was to exercise the evil spirits who were preventing the fire from burning.

ODD suPERsrITIoNs

Superstitious play-goer learn with astonishment that peacocks' feathers are to form the basis of the costumes Rostand's "chanticIeer" In 1880 a procession of gods and goddesses was shown on the stage at Drury Lane, in London, and although Juna apeared before the play was produced the com pany persuaded the author to cut the bird out of the cast, in order to avoid the bad luck which it would bring. On the opening night Of the present Prince of Wales theater, London, sev- eral people were taken i'll, and this was attributed by many to the fact that the stalls" were ornamented with a design of peacocks feathers. The manager went to the expense of recov- ering the whole of the stalls with a less unlucky pattern.

The Panama Zone.

When Col. Goethals was placed at the head of the Panama canal con- struction work and government the turmoils of the preceding years came to a sharp end. Work went ahead more efficiently than ever and without upheaVals of any sort.
 The bill now before congress to abolish the Panama canal commission and provide instead for 'one director general engineer" simply means that Col GoeIhals will be recognized as the central source of Panama admins trative energy and success, and that the few colleagues he has on the com mission will be dropped from the pay roll as unnecessarily incuInbrances Otherwise it makes no great change in the situation. The president is left For the future, as he has been in the past, the man primarily responsible for most details of the organization of the zone government
 In all this there is little reason for the uprising of those minority mem ber5 of the house committee which re- ported the bill, who allege that the change would be subversive of repre- sentative government. The theory of these uprisers seems to be that there is a tremendous revolution in funda- mental principles when one passes from half a dozen committee members to single official who composes a whole committee all by himself And that theory shows its absurdity on its face.-Chieago Record Herald.

In a letter to Doctor Brumbaugh,
superintendent of schools, DR.. ?. B.
Mccullough, chairman OF the Phlla-
delphia committee of dentists appointed
by Doctor Neff, of the department OF
health and charities, to arrange the de-
tails OF dental clinic, recommends

gard to the treatment Of children's teeth
be changed.
According to the present plan, the
teeth of school children are to be

ices.
The consent OF Doctor Brumbaugh
to the change is asked, and also the
consent of the elementary committee
