Superstition Still Lives.

Old actors believe the witches song in Macbeth to possess the power of casting evil spells and the majority of them dislike to play in the piece. Some of the creatures met with at sea are considered 'unlucky., If shark is seen following a ship for days, it is thought that someone on board Is doomed to die shortly. The birds known as Mother Corey's chickens, when they perch upon the rigging of a vessel, are believed to be messen- gers of a storm. Dolphins or porpoises seen in a calm are unfavorable onlens. The naming of warship after stinging or venomous things Is considered un- lucky. In Newfoundland the supersti- tious say that if ship has star- board list it is 0 sign of a quick pass age; a port list, 1t is sign of e long passage. The throwing overheard dur ing a calm of old clothes too bad tG wear, which have been saved for the purpose, is supposed t. bring wind.

RAILROADS AND EQUIPMENT.

Despite the big business our rail roads have been doing, they have been unable to get sufficient supply Of new equipment, largely because plants in existence for this purpose are in formed by the government just what to do and whose orders to fill first and at present foreign orders and ne .eessities have the call.
 < The entente nations lack locomo' .tives and railroad equipment, and un'
 til they are looked after, American
 railroads cannot be supplied witt
 anything like sufficient quantities,
 no matter how much money may be on hand for the purpose.
 The government is working on the principle that war needs come firs the war requirements of our allies as we'll as those of ourselves.

oriolr of Health Drinking.

The custom of drinking the health of the most popular man at the table has its foundation in the ancient prac- tice originated by the Greeks and adopted by the Romans of drinking to the gods and the dead, observes an exchange. The Greeks and Romans later began the practice of drinking to each other, and from this arose the custom of toasting living men. But health drinking in its modern form, originating in England in the royster' ing days of Charles II, begins with the custom of drinking to the ladies or to any woman who happened to be the reigning belle of the court. Many and various were Ahe quaint customs asso- ciated with the toasts of those days For example, in certain companies of military officers etiquette demanded that the cup shou1d be passed from hand to hand. In many midnight gatherings of Alsatia, gallants stabbed themselves in the arms in order to drink with their blood the health of the woman on whom their hearts were set.

Father Love.

The love between fathers and sons has never been given the conspicuous place that is given to boys and their mothers. Is that because it is more elusive than mother love?-for it is hardly less profound or beautiful. Sel- dom do hints of this beauty come to the surface in writing. But here is a single sentence from letter written by Oliver Wendell Holmes, on his eightieth birthday, at the homecoming of his boy-"his honor, Judge Holmes of the supreme court of Massachu' setts, just arrived from Europe" "] look up to him as my magistrate, ano he knows me as lis father, but my arms are around his neck and his mus tache Is sweeping my cheek-I fee young again at fourscore. ."~-Collier': Weekly.

THE KAISER "UND GOTT."

We all remember the famous poem, Me und Gott," which once instigated navy scandal when somebody re- cited it at navy dinner.
 This idea, it appears, still prevails with the kaiser.
 When Riga was evacuated by the Russians and Prince LeopO}d's troops entered the Baltic seaport of 250,000 population-the biggest prize captur- ed since Warsaw-the kaiser indus triously wrote telegrams to various unsuspecting dignitaries, and in all of them he alluded to God as the giver of Riga.
 In way the kaiser is right-for we do know that God isn't with quitter, which word sums up the Russian de- fense.
 The old saw that God hates quit ter" seems to be true even ill Rus sia.
 What we'd like to ask the kaiser is: Why did God forsake his arms at the Marne and at Verdun? If Will helm will studiously try to figure it out he may come to some worth while conclusion.

"Sweet Smelling Nails"

According to Sir George Watt, the name "clove" denotes its resemblance to a nail (clovus). There seems no doubt, he says, that the Chinese pro- cured the clove from its island home, the Moluccas, or Spice islands, for sev- eraI centuries before it reached Flu rope; there are records that point to this traffic as early as 2GO B. c. The eaove was not regarded by the inhabit- ants of the Spice islands as of any value until the Chinese desired to be supplied with little sweet-smtlling nails" In that circumstance alone lay the interest taken by the people of the Moluccas in the plant, and "nail' or "clove" became it's name in most countries.

UNCLE SAM'S WAR AIMS.

Having been officially told that the war aims of America are not to elim- mate the Hohenzolle1ns, but to force an honest government upon the Ger man people, we may expect consid- erable discussion upon that fact in the coming months.
 There has been belief prevalent turnout the country that<it was our intention to fight until the kaiser was unseated. The state department has informed us that this isn't true that we want to make democracy safe in the world by creating safe and sane government in Germany, one that will not be war-making, Irresponsible autocracy.
 Our government has announced to the world that this can be brought about by retaining the Hohenzollern dynasty if it's advisers and officials become a class willing to give spe- cific and definite guarantees to keep the peace hereafter.
 We do not intende to dictate any kind of government rpon the German people that they are rot prepared for. but will insist that the government they do retain after the war will be responsive to their wishes and not again utilize them as dupes in any scheme of world dominion or aggran- dizement.
 The state department has clearly indicated that we are not to act Tn an undemocratic way in behalf of de mocracy in Germany. It is not our idea to force anything upon them that they do not want; but we know fully that they will eagerly grasp at the exercise of genuine power in the af' fairs of their government. We know they are adverse to an autocratic ou' reaucracy and will gladly see 1t dis appear as basis of peace and future ssfety to themselves and the rest or the world.
