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 sen are considered 'unluclSy. If shark is seen following ship for days, it is thought that someone on board is doomed to die shortly. The birds known as Mother Carey's chickens, when they perch upon the rigging of a vessel, are believed to be messen- gers of storm. Dolphins or porpoises seen in calm are unfavorable omens. The naming of warship after stinging or venomous things is considered un- lucky. In Newfoundland the supersti- tious say that if ship has n star board list it is a sign of q quick pass age; port list, 1t Is sign of long passage. The throwing overheard dur. Ing calm of old clothes too bad to wear, which have been saved for the purpose, IS supposed to bring wind.

Iona Sacred Spot.

Iona has been a sacred spot time out of mind. Long before the earliest mis- sionary came to Britain, it was place consecrated to the early Druidic cere- monies. After St. Columba founded his colony, the ground was held so holy that kings bade their subjects bury them there. The bones of 60 mon- archs, Irish, English and Morse, lie under the sod of Iona today. One spot, known as the Tomb of the Kings, is still marked by row of monuments, fenced in by an incongruous modern iron railing. It lies in bare plain, whose surface is dotted with other stones and monuments, half covered with grass, leaning sadly awry. It is long time since those stones were raised. In spite of gloomy climate, Iona is beautiful. The soil is so fer tile that for centuries it's fertility was regarded as miraculous, due to the at- mosphere of holiness rather than na- ture. Behind its sea cliffs, the swale rises and falls in dimpled green hol- lows, the beaches are white with shell and sand. The 60 kings have chosen fair resting place.

Animal Trainers Win Fortunes.

Since the beginning of time mankind has been amused by attribnting human faculties to animals, and wherever one or the lower creatures has shown signs of intelligence, public curiosity has run high. We have long been familiar with the elephant which stands on a ball and does similar feats; but the first elephant to accomplish these things was seven-days' wonder. One of the most unique novelties ever offered to the public was the first batch of trained seals, brought out by Captain Woodward. Their ability to play mu- sical instruments. throw a ball about, and so on, captured the fancy of the nation and made their owner rich. Another novelty of this kind brought wealth to Leoni Clarke, who taught cat to go up in balloon and de- scend by q parachute.
