Mirror Superstitions.

The classic legend of Narcissus prob
ably has its origin In the belief that II
a man sees his image in water he will
die. Nor has the idea vanished In our
own day. Professor Frazer I'm his
"Golden Bough," tells us that In Old
enburg IL is thought that If man sees
his reflection after death he will die
himself. Therefore all the mirrors I'm
a house OF mourning are covered with
white cloth, and In some parts of Ger.
many everything that glitters or Is ca.
pablo OF refiection-even windows,
clocks, etc.--is covered. The same Gus
tom prevails In parts of England and
Scotland and I'm Madagascar. When n
man is dying the SUM Mohammedans
of Bombay cover the mirrors I'm his
room. And not only this, but they ha-
bitually follow the same practice In
their own rooms before going o sleep
thinking that In sickness or sleep the
soul is especially likely to slip away
According TO Professor Ralston. the
Raskolniks look upon a mirror as an
accursed thing, the invention of the
devil, though it Is not quite certain that
their objection arises from tie cause
under onsideration.-New York Post

Arbitration the One solution

MO progress is reported by the United
States Board of Mediation and Concilia-
ton in its efforts to bring to agreement the
railroads OF the country and their 'iOo. 600
traiumcn. Between what the men describe
as the irreduciblc minimum Of their demands
and the railroads nSiStence that to grant
these demands would threaten various lines
with bankruptcy, the board stands helpless

concession will pave the way for agreement
1t must he confessed the outlook is not
bright for a settlement by the board through
direct mediation. Neither side seems disposed
To make any concession whatever The one
hope OF averting general strike that would
plunge the nation into immeas urab bic disaster
is arhitrat ion-and the men have said they
will not arbtrate.
There they are wrong. The public in

they contend they are, there should be no

three, or hVe. or seven rea sonably honest men
should fail TO recognize an equity about
which we are informed. there can be no

OF course. there is dispute. The railroad
managers say the trainmen are not over
worked. are not underpaid. are not oppressed
IN any way: but. on the contrary. both as TO
hours OF labor and as TO amount of remunera-
ton. are the most highly favored OF all the
railroad employees. We do not discuss this
difference; we merely present il. For the pur-

that both railroads and trainmen are honest

shoe which is believed will be more
adaptable to service needs than any
yet known. The bottom of the shoe
is made of light metal frame strong
enough to retain its shape. This
frame is provided with a slide ar

This permits worn-out sole to be
