SUPERSTITIONS OF THE NEGRO
Slaves Of the Old South Were strong
In Their Belief In
Ghosts.

AS a part of the folklore of the negro
people, the superstitions Of slavery
days are Of great interest. The follow.
ing are some of the negro's beliefs
about ghosts:
To feel hot breath Of air strike you
at twilight signifies the near by pres.
ence of a ghost Should you wish to
avoid him stop and turn your coat and
trousers and hat wrong side out and
the spirit cannot encounter you. II.
however, he is a pugnacious sprite and
approaches maigre the change turn
and address him thus: "In the name
of the Lord, what do you want3" where
upon he will tell you his business upon
earth, then depart and never, never
trouble you again.
IT, on the other hand. he is a prowI.
ing ghost who crawls under the house,
bumps against the floor, makes
strange sounds and whispers in the
midnight hours, you have only to put
in new floor and he will do 30 no
more. Some ghosts are obtrusIve and
will not only prowl about the house,
but creep in through the cat hole or
under the crack Of the door during the
wee sma' hours Of the night. and once
inside expand to vast proportions.
To spare yourself any disturbance in
this way. SOW mustard seed all about
the doorstep Just before going to bed
or place sieve on the doorstep. Be
fore entering. the spirit will have to
count all the holes in the sieve or all
the mustard seeds. and by this tIms
daylight will come and he will have to
go. AS the counting for one night
will do for another, you are always
safe.-Southern Workman.

PROPER PLACING OF PIANO
Decided Difference In Tone WIN Be
Found II Simple Precautions
Are Preserved.

The proper placing OF an upright
piano in a room of moderate size is to
turn It at right angles to the side
wall, leaving room between the key
board and the opposite wall for the
player Then stand a table, If possible
an old-fashioned mahogany one with
folding leaf which can be turned up
against the back of the plano. There
must, of course. be some drapery to
cover the unpublished back Of the
piano. A piece of good-looking tap
estry. brocaded silk, embroidered
crepe, or even of cretonne, draped
loosely over the top and back. but not
laid in set folds. would be suitable.
On the table stand a plant, bit Of
pottery, brass candlestick or pos
sibly a lamp.
From a musical standpoint the
piano is placed In the best position,
for the notes are free instead of muf-
fed.

Paper or TInt7

The choice between papered and
tinted walls is largely matter of per-
sonal taste, according to the Ladies'
Home journal. A plain tint in a good
color is always in good taste, but
there are, OF course, more varied ef-
fects to be had from paper. Two
toned papers in inconspicuous figures
or stripes, or merely a notified sur
face giving the appearance OF the tex
ture of material. are charming. Then
there are limitations of grass cloths,
burlaps. ETC., all giving the general
effect of a plain wall with the added
decorative value which texture can
supply.

THE ONE WEAK SPOT.

Unquestionably the harmony /
nlan adopted by the editors and poll
ticians at Nashville last Friday has
merit in it. There is little doubt
that the conference was the hrst
meeting where there was sincere
desire for harmony in the democra-
tic party. Previous meetings OF the
TWO state committees have been DOM
mated by politicians who were more
concerned about securing a factional
advantage to be used for some per-
sonal or selfish purpose than that the
interests of the whole party might be
conserved and advanced.
The plan adopted at Nashville is,
in the main, fair one and would
suit admirably for harmonizing the
factions on national affairs but for
one defect. Had the proposed con-
yention stopped with the election or
delegates to the Baltimore con-
yention, and the appointment of cleo
tors harmony on National affairs
would have been insured Tennes-
sees electoral vote would then have
been safe for the President and Vice
President on the democratic ticket.
But the thermometers" went a
step too far, They provided for
the election of new state demo-
cratic executive committee to take
charge of all party affairs, in short
to reorganize the party in the state.
This will keep thousands of former
independents from participating in
the harmony" meeting. They are
perfectly willing to abide the action
Of the convention as to National af-
fairs, hut they are not going into any
sort of an arrangement that will COM
nit them to the candidacy of any
man for governor whose position
ard record are not in accord with
the principles for which they have
fought these four years. That fact
Is certain. Therefore it is unfortun.
ate that the harmony conference did
not SO clearly and distinctly separate
state and national affairs as to ahso
iutely insure a full participation OF
members of both factions In
the convention called to appoint dele
gates to the Baltimore convention.
