GHOSTS EVER BOTHER You7
II So, Southern Negro Folks Say These
Simple Precautions viii Chase
EN-.

AS a part of the folklore OF the ne
gro folks the superstitions Of slavery
days are OF great interest. The fol-
lowing are some of the negro's beliefs
about ghosts:
To feel a hot breath of air strike
you at twilight signifed the nearby
presence of 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.
If. however, he is pugnacious
sprite and approaches despite the
change, turn and address him thus:
''In the name of the Lord. what do you
want?" Whereupon he will tell you
his business upon earth, then depart
and never, never trouble you again.
If. on the other hand. it Is a prowling
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 SO no
more.
Some ghosts are obtrusive and will
not only prowl about the house, but
creep in through the crack of the door
In the wee small hours of the night,
and, once inside, expand to vast pro-
portions. To spare yourself any dis
turbance in this way. SOW mustard
seed all about the doorstep just before
going to bed, or place sieve on the
doorstep.
Before entering, the spirit will have
to count all the holes in the sieve or
all the mustard seeds, and by this
time daylight Will come and he will
have to go. AS the counting for ono
night will not do for another you are
always safe.-Southern Workman.

Fishes smell well and hear acutely.
The senses of smell and hearing de-

fact that fishes have no external nose
and ear formations does not prevent
their internal mechanism from operat-

Wards Ancient Ideas.

John NJ. Ward is using 1876 methods
IN his Boston Braves. He expects his
pitchers to do as much base running
md batting as any one. He instructed
,ne the other day to try to hit bit
sooner at the ball, Just after he had
,een that one ground out to the sec
md baseman. By hitting sooner,
Ward told him, he would hit singles
through the pitcher, all of which Is
tery true. Hub Perdue says Ward
ought not to expect them to play like
he boys did in '76 when there's no
