Peacock Feathers May
Help the Wedding.

Fogel who collected 2.os5 superstitions

counties and got his dope" fresh from
those who use II. Here are some Of
them:
Any fond mother wish to marry off a
daughter? Put peacock feathers In
your home.
II two couples be married by the
same clergyman at the same time, one
couple will be unhappy. These brutal
bachelors will insist that that is merely
the law of averages.

wealthy On the David Harum theory

Bad luck, say the Pennsylvania Ger
mans, for more than one person in a
family to marry within the same year.
1t is a good omen to dream of the
dead. Dreaming of muddy water means

you will fall violently in love. Dream

vice versa.

To dream of the teeth is ultra un-
fortunate. The loss Of tooth repre-

SCARED BY "TAME" PANTHER
Priest Has Experience Which He Is
Not at All Anxious to Have
Repeated.

An adventure wit panther is re-
lated in the Madras Times by the Rev.
Father BARLEY, who a short while ago
was on visit to an Indian priest at
Patiala in place near a rocky jungle.
The indian priest was away on visit
to a sick person and Father Bartley
went to sleep in the verandah AT
about midnight he was wakened by
feeling something licking his feet with
a great rough tongue. He started up
in bed and was Mortified to see that a
huge beast had put it's forepaws on
his bed and was glaring into his ey' s.
Father BARLEY got out of his bed and
ran towards the outhouses and called
for help. AS there was no response
he went into the open, gripping rug
and holding it between himself and
the beast, which was snarling at him
and began to walk round and round
him in a wide circle. At last Father
BARLEY backed toward the railway
line. He was caught by the ankle by
a wire and fell fiat upon his back, The
beast sprang through the air and
allSnteu couple Vi ydTuS away. lHeIc
was a red light close by and possibly
It's cleaning eyes gave the beast
fright, as it turned round with snarl
and suddenly ran away and disap-
peared into the darkness of the night.
The next morning the Indian priest
told Father BARLEY that the panther
was a tame one and belonged to a
railway auditor, and that it must have
got loose that night.

STILL THE LAND or ooLb
CALIFORNIA; Output OF the Precious
Metal So Far Shows Little Sign
of Prophesied Diminutlon.

Careful estimates place the Cali
fornia gold output for 1915 at fully
$2,200,000 more than the previous
year, when the total output was $780,
653,496. The yield will easily be the
largest in 80 years, and, with one ex-
ception, the largest in 81 years. So
California still remains the premier
5old-producing state in the Union.
Placer mining for gold for years con-
sidered decadent industry in Cali
fornia, has for the past IS years been
growing in Importance, until now the
placer mines are producing Al per
cent of the total gold yield, the other
Sc per cent coming from deep mines.
This condition has been entirely
brought about by the dredging opera
tions, the gold dredges now producing
some sc per cent of the placer gold.
The present tendency Is toward extern
sive yardage in dredging operations,
so the new machines are much larger
and more powerful than those built
formerly. 1t is considered probable
that for this reason the yield of
dredgegold in California will continue
about the same for some years, even
though the old and smaller machines
discontinue operations. A gold dredg-
er is now being built to dig 70 feet
below the water line. There was a
distinct revival in all kinds of metal
mining in the state in 1915, particular
ly in gold mining The dredgemen
have begun operations on tracts for
merly considered too small for this
class of work; and numerous quartz
mines were reopened, while the older
ones were deepened with good results.
