GUARD AGAINST EVIL
Ornaments Supposed to Ward
Off Disease ard Bring Luck.
Although Most People Profess to
Laugh at Ieea of Wearing Them
Purely for Luck, Yet Charms
Are Popular With Many.


London.-Perhap the instinct to
avert the evil eye is born in our ma
lures. Civilization had lesssned IT to
great extent, but in every race
we find an instinct exists. The wear
Ing of nearly all personal adornment
seems to have originated IN an idea
of pacifying evil deities.
The savage wears ornaments sym
bolizing the protective powers sup
posed TO be able to keep away harm
or danger. In the West Indies there
is bean OF seed which the natives
think possesses many valuable prop
critics. II carried in the purse they
say the owner will never want for
money; If hung on watch chain good
luck will ever be with the wearer. But
woe betide the man who loses his pre-
cious charm. The East Indian leaves
tiny corner of his embroidery unfin-
ished to propitiate the gods; the dusky
mother calls her baby hard names
for fear her love should bring i'll for
tune upon him.
In England superstitious country
folk tie amulets around their necks to
prevent disease. Some OF the earliest
of these were skillfully wrought by
the people who inhabited this country
thousands of years ago and treated
flint much the same as a cameo. pro-
ducing varied effects by cutting
through into the different layers Of
color. Several examples of this prac-
tically lost art may be seen in the
museum at Ipswich. They are carved
to represent the heads of men and
women, birds, fishes and reptiles. and
are for the most part cleverly and
prettily done
The fossil belemnites found on many
of our coasts embedded in the rocks
were once thought to be thunderbolts
and were worn as charms by fisher
folk. Farmers in ancient times dec
GRATED their horses by hanging amu-
let's and gypsy fetish charms among
their trappings TO insure good har-
vest. These amulets were frequently
associated with the worship of the sun
and were Of Egyptian. Moorish and
Persian origin.
Although most people profess to
laugh at the idea of wearing them
purely for luck or from superstitious
motives, yet charms are worn still with
good humored federation and, for rea-
sons none can explain, secretly favor
ed, just in the same way that sober
minded men and women cling tena-
ciously to a crooked sixpence and
treasure a three-penny bit with hole
in it as omens of good luck
A pink coral hand In Italy is sup
posed to ward of the evil eye and
plays its part In ornaments. Ruby
ornaments are supposed to disperse
evil spirits and are considered pro-
lection from poison and other dire
evils. Emeralds Danish blindness. Gar
net ornaments are supposed to keep
one in good health; the sardonyx in
sures happiness. The sapphire keeps
of fever Amethysts keep OF worries.
A turquoise means that you will never
want friend. "A four leaved clover
in crystal locket is a favorite charm
and is said to bring good fortune and
long life to its wearer. Jade also has
reputation for luck bringer.

the point of the bill being to give no

KUHN INTERESTS WILL DEVELOP
POWER
Cumming PIarts to Be Installed AiohS
Snake River to Furnish Wa
ter for Vast Area.

From a reliable source it is learned
that the Kuhn interests intend TO en-
gage during the comping season IN
the work of putting in lrrlga-
ton pumping plants in the Snake river
valley between GIenns Ferry and
the Oregon line. Within a week the
installation of an electric light system
in Glenns Ferry will be commenced.
RetWeen Glenns Ferry and the Oregon
line along the Snake river are thous-
ands of acres of land which will be
reclaimed by means of water pumped
by electricity. The Kuhn interests
are largely interested in electrical en-
terprises in the east, having hundreds
of miles of power lines in western and
northern Pennsylvania. 1t is said that
plan of financing small pumping
projects has ben completed and that
the work of developing the Snake riV-
err valley from Glenns Ferry west
ward to Weiser by this system will be
inaugurated at once.
1t is we'll know nthat engineers tor
the Kuhn interests are preparing
plans in connection with the irriga-
ton districts near Nyssa and On
tario and it is believed that this pump
ing development is intended to com.
plete the transformation of the Snake
river valley.
Extensive development of electricity
for heating purposes will be carried
on in connection with the pumping de-
yelopment and will make southern Ida
no one of the most favored spots IL
the world from the standpoint of the
comforts and conveniences which am
pie electric power canl give and it is
safe to assume that in the course Of
but few years the citizens of Idaho
will have had the problem of fue

Use for Convict Labor,

In the matter of employment of

which subject seems to occupy the
minds of some legislators, there ought
to be no trouble in finding work for
them. One of the greatest necessities
in this state is good roads. Why not
follow Colorado's most excellent ex-
ample in this regard, and give the men
exercise in the open air and at the
same time accomplish great good for
the state? In such employment there
would be no competition with free
labor, nor opposition to struggling in
dustries in manufacturing lines

Remains of Pioneer in Ruins of His
Home.

Fire was seen bursting from the
roof of the residence of Joseph Travis
at the lower end of Main street at
$50 Friday morning by Mrs. Elizabeth
Garrecht, who gave the alarm Clay b.
Mosher, VIM. Garrecht and Luther Hill
were the first men there and broke
open the door, when the flames shot
out. The remains of Mr.. Travis were
found in the ruins, about three feet
from the front room stove. A. candle
stick was lying underneath his hips.
He was lying face downward. Whether
the fire started from the candle or the
stove is not known. Mr. Travis was
subject to fainting spells and he
either fell in one of them or dropped
dead. The latter theory is probably
correct, for if he had tainted would
undoubtedly have moved from where
he fell. One arm was underneath the
body. Both legs were entirely con-
sumed by the flames, nothing remain
ing but the ashes.
Mr.. Travis was one of the early pio-
neers of this place, and for many years
was engaged in placer mining on Will
low creek. The past few years, being
very feeble, he was induced to leave
his Willow creek home, four miles
from town, and live in this place
