WORSHIP IN HAITI
and Civilization Have Been Un-
able to Stamp Out.

VO0doolsm, or vOOdoo, that strange
worship that comes down from the ma.
tive customs of West Africa. is still
practiced to great extent in Haiti.
where they believe that the body has
two spirits-a good one that returns to
Africa. and duppy, who remains In
the vicinity Of the dead. These dup
pies" are considered to be very dam
gerous and in order to drive them
away from the house where n death
has occurred. all standing water IL
thrown out and food and rum prOvid-
ed to propitiate the ''duppy'' and per-
suade II to accompany the good spirit
on its journey.
"Duppies" are supposed to have
solid bodies instead of ghostly ones,
and so the doors and windows, and
even cracks In the house are stuffed
ND to keep them out.
vOodooism, unfortunately. goes much
farther than this belief, and the use
Of all kinds of charms. the worship
Of certain sacred green snake, and
the melting and inflaming Of the ne
groes to emotional heights by strange
ceremonies continues in Haiti even
now. At the close Of voodoo meet
ing when the audience is excited to a
wild hysteria a dance called the ''l0ilo-
ichi" Is performed which ends In a
wild orgy, an exchange states. In all
these wild ceremonies and dances, q
drum Is the instrument used, its rhyth-
mic throbbing tending to excite those
who hear 1t. Indeed, from time i'm
memorial drums have been used for
this purpose, the nerves Of even the
most civilized and self-contained per-
sons responding almost Immediately
to q steady drumming.

Railroad Men 0utrank the
Men Of the Sea for Their
r, Various Odd Superstitions

The superstitions Of railway men
are so numerous that even the sailor,
who Is generally credited with being
the most superstitious man in the
world, must needs take second place,
London Tit-Bits states.
In Russia, when woman Is the
first to enter train, bad luck is sure
to come unless the next two persons
to enter the same compartment are
men.
Friday, the 18th day Of the month,
black cats, cross-eyes, mirror breaking,
lightning, coach numbers and their
variations, and the weather are a few
Of the fantastic superstitions Of rail
way workers.
Many drivers will not commence
journey without flower in the but
'tonhole, usually a white one, or a white
ribbon. Others wear a peculiar button,
the insignia Of their fraternal orders,
and even a piece of red string, often al
most invisible.
A left-handed fireman or driver Is
looked askance at by some railway men
and as a lucky companion to others.
In some cases transfers to other runs
have been asked because such an indi-
vidual is given a berth, while others
request to be given place by left
handed or ambidextrOus person.
AS for travellers, burning coffee after
breakfast is better than an accident
policy, while winding ones watch on
the train means a safe journey. Put
ting a wisp Of straw in ones trunk or
bag protects it from injury and In
sures safety.
II dust blows in ones eyes while In
the train 1t means good health for
year; II it blows while going to the
train 1t Is q sign Of accident.
A general superstition among rail-
way men Is that when one leaves his
home to go to work he must not re-
turn and 60 indoors for something he
has forgotten. Should he have to do
80, the bad luck to follow will be null
lifted IL he sits for even a second IN
a chair and lifts his feet from the
floor.
