SOME OF THE SUPERSTITIONS
OF WOMEN.

No amount of reason, it seems,
will ever convince superstitious
woman of the folly of her belief in
charms and tailsmans, and even
some men with a reputation for in

prediction for carrying little trink-

CLEAN AND FRESH.

In order to have the house cool
and clean and fresh it is a good rule
to have an early breakfast, to let the
girls and boys help with the morn
ing work so that when the heat of
the day begins the house may be
darkened, and quiet may reign until

bad luck or to bring good fortune,
says the London Mail.
At a recent wedding it is related
that one unmarried guest approach
ed the bride and asked her to take
out a hairpin from her couture after
the wedding and to bestow it upon
her as the wearing of this by the
recipient was supposed to bring
aboutSthe luck of finding a hand
some and suitably wealthy husband
Much beloved of feminine minds
who dabble in Eastern lore is the
superstition that it is lucky to keep
on their mantlepieces a little Japan
csc idol
A piece of greenery is laid at his
feet and a cube of ginger placed at
his left side The wish of the owner
is then whispered in the ear, and
these offerings are left to put him IN
a good mood 50 that his influence
will be used to grant the owners
petition.
All kinds of charms are worn to
bring good luck. Some of the best
'fortune-bringers materialized in
gold Or platinum, are not only the
well-known elephant, pig Or bean,
but sweet-meats, pot full of water,
a tethered bullock and lamp.
Those who wear Egyptian tails
mans, perhaps rified from the mum
mics, chance their luck, as none can
tell what influence they will bring
to the wearer. Treat the tailsman
with reverence and it will bring you
good fortune it is said; but you
with its most malign influence.
A golden globe is supposed to
bring good fortune if worn by the
right person. Some women are I'M
happy unless tailsman of good
luck is affixed to the head Of their
bed, and popular one for this use
is medallion representing the pat
ron saint Of their birthday month.
Of course many people are always
Of the superstition as to the right
position in sleeping. Lie with the
head to the north and you will have
sickness; the west gives fame; the
south confers long life; while sleep
ing with the head to the east brings
health and riches.
Another superstition of the mod
ern woman which she AYERS is not
superstition at all is the wearing of
some particular color to bring
health and hong life.
To ascertain the particular color
that will bring the wearer good
luck in this way it is necessary to
study the influence of colors and to
see which produces the most sooth-
ing effect.
In violet or blue is found to be
the right hue then a piece of this
colored silk is always worn next the
persons skin in order that the rays
may be directly absorbed
Some women indeed carry out
this lucky color scheme in the fur
nishfng their own rooms, and go So
far as to have a pane of colored
glass in the window of their bed
room so that they may sleep directly
beneath the benefcient light.
All kinds of bad luck are traced
to the wearing of the wrong color.
A lucky tailsman for some wo-
men is said to be the nine pointed
star in silver or gold, and it is ac-
counted an excellent piece of good
fortune to be able to count nine
stars on nine successive nights.
This, it is said, is bound to bring
good luck, but it must be remem-
bered that the nine evenings are to

Supplies cost $4,000. This leaves a de-

ing.
A trial of the system of CLASSIFYING
fourth-class pOstmasters, the President
asserts, has convinced him that all post
masters and other local government on
Gals should be under the classified serv-

The President replies to the criticism
of his action in placing fourth-class post
masters under the civil service. He de-
MES that It was a political move, and
points to the fact that the action was
taken long before election. He expressed
regret that Congress had failed to give
him power to do the same thing with
first, second, and third class postmasters,
internal revenue officers, customs officers.
United States marshals, and other local
departments as he recommended in pre-
vious messages. The change, he de-
clares, would entirely cure the evils

Il thought it was the right thing to
do said Morgan, and that was as near
as he would come to explaining.
That was no reason at ALL was it?''
queried Untermyer. but Morgan would
not go an inch further.
Asked as to Thomas +. Ryan's atti-
tude when Morgan indicated to Ryan
that he wanted the Equitable stock,
Morgan thus described Ryan's emotions.

asked him to sell 1t to me. He hesitated

Yielding in one of the most notable flnan-
cial deals in years. involving the control
of S5GOOOU.O0 of assets, il was left only
to the hearers in the committee room
to conjecture what Ryan's reason was
for yielding.
Sell Things One Hasn't Got.
Morgan said he never sold a share OF
stock short in his life He did not ap-
prove of manipulation. but didn't believe
that it could be stopped.
Then you see no reason asked Inter

that they haven't got?"
They always will do So" said Morgan.

Morgan insisted there was no such
thing as a money trust. There could
be no such thing. he said.
Money is not a commodity. You can
control all the things that are COmmOdl-
ties. but YOU cannot control money.
Morgan followed out this line Of rea SON
ing by saying that II a man controlled
