DOESN'T ALWAYS BRING LUCK
In Fact, the Finding Of a Horseshoe
With Six or Eight Holes 10 De-
eidedly a Bad Omen.

There are many persons who be-
lieve it is lucky to find horseshca,
and they will take it home and nail
it over the door to bring good luck
to the house or the barn or wherever
it may be, although they are not al
ways careful to have the points up
ward, which they should be or the
luck will spill out.
This superstition goes back of the
days Of horseshoes as we know them
now, and is really attached to the
number seven. From early times
many persons have thought it lucky
TO find anything connected with the
number seven because it seems to be
a sacred number and is mentioned
more than any other in the Bible.
1t so happened that a horseshoe
usually has seven nail holes in it,
and that is the only reason it was
considered lucky. II you found one
with six or eight nail holes in it, it
would be no more lucky than a three
leayed clover.

JAPAN A LAND FOR MEN ONLY
Husbands and Wives Never Go Walk.
Ing Side by Side in That Part
Of the World.

Take the social relations of the
japanese people as another example
of contrariety. Here the honorable
sex is not the feminine, but the mas
culine. There is even a proverb, /
believe, "Honor men, despise wom-
en-" Perhaps the translation ode
spise" is too strong, but certainly it
would be regarded as nothing but
contemplate weakness for young
men to show any such regard for
young women, or husbands for their
wives, as is common in America. The
wives exist solely for their husbands,
nor must the wife object if the hus-
band maintain other favorites, or
even bring these favorites into the
home with her. And although a
man is with his wife a much greater
part of his time than is the case in
America, he may have little or no
voice in selecting her; in fact, he
may see her only once before marry
ing.
After having seen probably half a
million or more japanese, Sundays
and week days, I have not iced a
single young japanese couple walk
ing together, and in one case where
l saw husband and wife walking
thus side by side discovered on in
vestigation that the man was blind!

The mortality from tick fever
is reduced 1902 head.
The amount saved annually to
the state by reducing the losses
plus their increased weight and
valuation would be So, 238, 2l9.
The eradication of the tick from

valuation and consequently a
profit on the total number of cat
tie in the state in 1910 of
$6,934.0 900.
Estimating that there is an ave-
rage of 30 head of cattle per
square mile in the 1880 square
miles of territory that has been
released from quarantine in all
the states it will be seen that the
determination of the tick has
benefited the owners of 440, 900
cattle.
Assuming that the increased
valuation is practically the same

found that the cattle have in

Comparative Statement
Of Population.

Washington. January co. In
an address delivered at the Tu-
lane University of Louisiana in
/ March, 1910. President Finley. of
the Southern Railway Compar y,
after pointing out that in tie ten
years from 1890 to 1900 the white
population of the South increased
25.2 per cent, while in the same
period the negro population of
the section increased but 17.2 per
cent, said; There is reason to
believe that the conditions which
! affected the relative rates OF in
crease of white and negro popu-
lation in the South between 1890
and 1900 are still operative and
that, as time goes on, the negro
population Of the section will
constitute decreasing proper
tion." This forecast is borne
out by the statistics of white and
negro population for 1910, just
made public by the United States
Census Office.
In the States South of the Ohio
and Potomac rivers and east of
the Mississippi, there was an in
crease in the ten years between
1900 and 1910 of IT'S per cent in
white population and an increase
of only 81 per cent in negro pop
ulation. The rate of increase in
negro population for the United
States, as whole, from 1900 to
1910 was 11.3 per cent. as COM
pared with 18 per cent for the
preceding ten years.
In 1900 the negroes in the
Southeastern States constituted
80. l per cent of the total popula-
ton. In 1910 they constituted
37.9 per cent of the total. In
each one of these states the neg
70 population in 1910 constituted
a smaller proportion of the total
than in 1900 and in two of them
KENTUCKY and Tennessee---the
actual number of negroes was
smaller in 1910 than in 1900. The
decrease in the negro population
of Kentucky in the ten years
amounted to 23,050. or 81 per
cent, and the decrease in Tennes-
see was 7,155, or LIS per cent.
The Census Office states the
percentage of negroes to the to-
tai population in these states in
