Superstitions

Many turfmen believe in truly
childish approximations. IT, on the
way to the track they see name cor
responding with THE name of a horse
which is to race that day, it is taken
as a sign that the horse will win.
1t is held very bad luck to meet
cross eyed man on the way to the
faces. n To meet a cross-eyed woman.
on the other hand, is a sign of good
luck while there is nothing which
will bring better luck than to meet
a cross-eyed negro.
To meet Il funeral is extremely
bad luck, although the meeting of an
empty hearse is a sign of success.
Certain animals are supposed to
bring good or bad luck if met on the
way to the track. 4 black cat is con
sdered bad luck. To see a piebald
or calico horse is a good sign. To
have a strange dog follow one on the
street is also considered lucky.
To dream of a horse is held lucky,
but bets are not to be placed the first
time it runs. On the second time,
however, it is considered sure to win.

Vanity Boxes Used in Days
of Old.

Recent excavations in Italy have UNI
earthed many toilet articles used by
ladies of the Etrusean period. long be-
1ore the Romans came into power.
Among thes. are vanity boxes, very
much like those of the present time
These were carried on a slender chain
that fastened to the girdle of the
Etrurian bellies and contained sweet
scented pomades and other "beauti-
fiers" with which they were accus-
toned to dab their classical faces from
time to time.
one of the most interesting relics
of this far away day is n hand mirror,
shaped exactly the same as those of
our time. But instead of glass, the
Etrurian ladies We're compelled to de-
pend upon ii surface of highly bur-
nished copper for a glimpse of their
loneliness. Although glass was in
fairly common use many years ago. 1t
was not until recent times that a
clever mind thought of painting one
side of glass with a preparation that
would cause it to reflect whatever
came before It, So in ancient days
milady was compelled to use some
CLASSY pool or a bit of polished copper
for her looking glass. And both seem
to have served their purpose success
fully. II is from these ancient hand
mirrors of copper that we got the de-
sign of our modern creation of glass.
Articles similar to those found in
the Etruscan tombs have been dis
| covered at various times in Egypt
Assyria and elsewhere, but this re-
cent find is II notable one because of
the excellent state of the articles, and

He Worked Hard.

\ languid youth of Washington,
after having tried several jobs and
fallen down out of sheer laziness, was
placed with n government naturalist.
But even in this position he was slow.
1t took him two hours to give certain
living specimens of birds their feed.
The good point he possessed was will
ingness.

the water for some fish, he asked his
employer What shall | do now, sir?'

THE THINNING RANKS.

The sun Of the Grand Army OF the
Republic gradually IS sinking behlhd
the hills into the land of honored
memory In a very few years there
will be left none to tell the stories of
Americas fratricidal war save by the
proxy of a forbear.
The statstican of the department of
New York of the organization recently
compiled statistics showing how the
ranks OF these honorable warriors have
tlinned At the present time the MEM
, bership in the Grand Army in the En-
pire state is but a little over $4,000.
Time was in that state when the men,
bership was a full! $4,000
The hand OF death is swccpln f them
away as rapidly as did the southern
| rifles on the fields of Gettysburg or
Chickamauga. So rapidly are they
being mustered out they love to
express it, that many posts are giving
four or five local posts now may be
found but one organized from the few
remaining members of the earlier
groups.
And the veterans of the sixties rev
| ercntly conduct the ceremonies Incl
| dent to such surrender. These occa-
| sions are sublime with path,ss. No
| charter ever is surrendered until the
membership of the post has fallen to
five--too small number to permit
the apportionment of offices.
When the charter is surrendcrcd il
goes to the office of the comma nder of
the department. More than q. score of
posts in New York state are recorded
where a member holds two offices.
Specially is this true in the rural
communities, where the active mem
bership of the Grand Army is rapidly
becoming extinct. This is due to the
fact that these communities are too
far apart to permit a membership in
one post. One rural post is recorded
in that state where the membership
has dropped TO three white. haired
men.
| At this time OF stress, when all the
world is at war, it is fitting that we
should look at these few remaining
heroes in the way that we hope, in
some far distant day, the youth will
regard the veterans OF the worlds

of 1866 as we would have of the cit
liens of 1865 think of the veterans O
