NOTIONS ABOUT BABES
sUPERsTITIoNs OF MOTHERS
REGARDING THEIR CHILDREN.
Customs Supposed to Bring Luck and
Protect the Child Spanish Meth
cd Of Determining Baby's
Walk in Life.

Z =
Probably most Of us are supersti-
tious upon at least one point, and
mothers are particularly SO with re-
spect to their children.
1t is still considered an absolute
necessity, in many parts of England,
that child, when first leaving the
mothers room. should go upstairs
before going down, otherwise it will
never rise in the world. OF course, 1t
frequently happens that the room Of
the mother is the highest in the
house. When such is the case the
difficulty is met by the nurse setting
chair and stepping upon that be-
fore she leaves the room
A similar progressive career is
said to lie in the lap of the future Of
the child who makes its initial bow
to the world on Sunday-no doubt
on the principle Of the better the day
the better the deed.
But there are numerous other
superstitions relating to the first
days of baby's life which are the
heritage of the mother for all time
Prosperity and long life are assured
to the baby in whose hand a silver
coin or new laid egg is placed, and
the same good luck will be the lot of
the infant If 1t is placed in maiden's
arms before anyone else touches 1t.
The little one should on no account
make Its first public appearance out
OF doors unless it is accompanied by
small loaf of bread, an egg, some
salt and penny. If this precaution
is omitted the grown-up career Of the
baby will be one Of poverty and dis
tress. Good luck is supposed to hang
over the baby that cries Justify dur
ing the christening ceremony In
Spain the newly-born infants face is
swept with pine bough to bring it
good luck. The Spaniards also be-
lieve in determining the baby's walk
in life at once. To do this they place
silver coin, sword, a silver cross,
book and some fruit in front of
him, and let him make his choice.
II he takes the coin, he will 90 into
business; If the sword, he will be a
soldier; the cross, priest; the book,
scholar, and the fruit, farmer
They also believe that a band of
gold, or silver, or even Jet, put
around baby, will keep him from
harm
The Turks put piece of mud
which has been STEPPED in hot water
upon baby's forehead, believing that
the charms which have been used in
preparing the mud will protect the
child The Hindus declare that baby
must be called after the name of a
god, for then will the deity be fiat.
tered at the frequent use of his name
and be induced to think well of the
child. The Arabians name the child
as soon as 1t is born, as then the
tr!oesmen will honor it. The Persians
string amulets and necklets around
baby's neck, as then the bad spirits
viii not touch him.
The Belgians teach their babies to
make the sign of the cross, for they
believe that this will certainly outwit
the devil.

The interstate commerce COM
mission has decided that the pro-
posed increases in freight rates on
grain and grain products from pro-
ducing points in North and South
Dakota to the grain centers are
not unreasonable, but the commits
sion adds, apparently as a sort of
soothing balm to the lacerated feel
ings of the farmers, that the form
er established rates should be re-
stored except in cases of manifest
error.

The long expected decision on
the tobacco trust case was given
by the supreme court Monday.
The court finds that it is a COM
bination in restraint of trade and
that it exists in violation of the
Sherman anti trust law. Like the
Standard Oil case it is an "Un-
reasonable violation" of the law
and hence will have to 60 out Of
business. The lumber trust and
the steel trust are the next to be
brought on the carpet.

YELLOW JACK
FINDS WAY IN

It was through the criminal care
lessness of a Hawaiian guard who,
when feeling a little i'll, asked for and
got permission to lay off from work,
that yellow fever was introduced into
the city. This man, AhopokO, had
been stationed on board the Hongkong
Maru, while that vessel was outside
the port. He, upon returning to the
shore, was put in quarantine. After
couple of days, he asked for a layoff,
as he felt tired. Upon getting the de-
sired rest, he broke quarantine and
went to his home at Kalihi Camp.
Ahopoko was missed AT roll call on
Friday morning and a search of the
station was made for him. Not dis
covering the man on the quarantine
grounds, the searchefs went to his
home, and there found him very i'll
with the fever.
Immediate steps were taken to iso-
late the Hawaiian and all those peo-

work to fence in the Kalihi Camp and

BY working toward the camp, it IS
hoped that any mosquitoes that are
in the block will be driven toward the
houses in the camp and, by means OF
fumigation of the rooms, be killed
The patient, Ahopoko, was on board
the Hongkong Maru for four hours
prior to the fumigation, and he ad

WHO'S KUHIO'S
MONEY BACkER?

Honolulu Newsletter in Maui News: |
1t looks as though Kalanianaole is to
have financial backing sufficient to
press his charges before the House
and possibly the Senate. 1t is said
that Mr.. Kinney will furnish the nee
essary spiel and Link will advance
the money. 1t does not look reason
able, and it will not seem polite to
the members of Congress to have
Democratic capitalist and a Demo
crat attorney working like hades to
get Republican governor out of
office, and on request of an alleged
Republican delegate to Congress. 1t
is a little ishy now isn't it? Last
week the Bystander told us what he
believes, and what we all believe is
the position of the native i'm politics
The only difference between the By
stander and the rest of us is that he
was not afraid to tell his thoughts.
Now comes the Onlooker, with whom
you may not be as we'll acquainted,
who tells us the real feeling of most
members of Congress toward the DEB
egate. From what I have heard from
persons who have been in Washing
ton during a session of Congress, and
who met Congressman, I am of the
opinion that the Onlooker has told is
what the Congressman from A 20
lizard could not tell for fear of being
considered disCourteous to fellow
member. The Star had the article
twice. There is a wide difference
of opinion as to the future of Kuhio,
none as to Frear, and none of us
know where he will stand at the next
election. None knows who would lie
ripe to take his place, and who can
get sufficient of the native votes to
win Trent says if Kuhio were 10
run as an insurgent he would sweep
everything before him, and by that
| remark | take it he is in sympathy
with him. Whether he pose as Re-
publican of the old line or as an in
| surgent will make no difference to
| the native voter, who knows no more
about politics than about the here
after There is not the same advance
ment in the present generation of Ha-
waiians as there is in the Portuguese.

ruts, and are as enthusiastic over the

vaudeville programs this evening, the
acts that will be put on are first-class

have number of popular songs for
tonight which will be interspersed by
catalogues in her inimitable man
ner She puts a whole lot of energy in
her act which adds to her popularity.
Over at the Empire, Lucia Lottie
Collins will delight the Empire patrons
with her singing and clever acting.
She has selected songs for tonight
that has been rehearsed by the or
chestra so there will be no hitch in
the music this week. Miss Collins
act alone is worth the price of ad-
mission.
George Eldridge, the plucky Ameri.
can lad who is working his way
around the world, will be heard to
even better advantage than on his
opening night. He has a very good
baritone voice for one of his age. The
pictures will bear out the fact that
