DON'T sNEEzE IN INDIA;
Il MIGHT KILL SOMEBODY
Missionary Doctor Says Superstl-
ton Costs Many Lives
Annually in Orient.

Sneezes and superstitions cost many
lives annually in India.
This was the statement OF DR.. Anna
Degenring Of the Woman's American
Baptist Foreign Mission society, who
has just returned to New York on a
years furiough after fourteen years
as doctor In India.
"A sneeze means great impending
calamity to the Indian mind" said
DR.. pegenring. "Whatever happens on
the day that one hears a sneeze ID
sure to turn out Ill, and the Indian
will enter upon no undertaking OF Inn
portance on such q day. Many OF our
patients have refused to have opera
lions on which their lives depended on
the day that had been arranged for,
because they happened to sneeze that
morning, or even to hear some one
else sneeze,"
Indian belief in suspicious days is
another "hobgoblin" In the path of the
medical missionary there, DR.. Degen-
ring said. Soon after an Indian child
Is born, the so0thsayer reveals to the
family its lucky star and Its lucky
days. Indians who fall III or are hurt
in an accident persist In waiting for
their auspIcious days before sending
for doctor. y
The Indians, the physician explain
ed, attribute epidemics to the wrath
Of various goddesses Of III health.
adding "there Is a goddess of malaria
and q goddess of smallpox-a goddess,
in fact of every recurring epidemic"
Though they believe in goddesses,
they are hard to convince concerning
germs and they have no idea of quar-,
antine for contagious diseases, DR..
Degepring said.

The Happy People and
an Apple Orchard

Last summer there was farmer
that had an apple orchard. He
had hundreds and hundreds of ap-
pie. trees. So he didn't want the
apples to go to waste so he put an
lad" in the paper. 1t said that he
would like to have some boys and
men to pick some apples for him.
The farmer said if they would come
and pick the apples every day till
they were gone he would give them
two dollars day an would give
them some apples too. These ap-
pies were already to pick The
next day about Z o'clock. there
came about % men. The farmer
was so glad to see that many men
OF course the men wanted to be-
gin to pick the apple trees SO the
farmer showed the men where two
orchards were. 1t took the men
four days to clean the orchard. The
farmer gave each boy and man five
dollars and gave each one three
bushels of apples. The men and
boys were very glad to get these
things. And the farmer was glad
they were picked. After the far
mer had given each one 8 bushels
Of apples and five dollars the far
mer had rs bushels of apples left.

Making Good
in New York City

One day as I was in New York
where l went for a month on va
cation, had only $1,000 when
started. l started on Monday and
arrived there at 0:30, Wednesday
1t was town which l knew moth
ing about. was trying to get a
job. went into a store where it
said a boy wanted. They said
that l wasn't the kind of boy they
wanted. l was getting pretty low
in money. So l went to another
store and they said the same thing,
SO I went to a store on Broadway,
big store.
There they took me in as cash
boy. One day l was to deliver a
bundle. / was going down the
street and saw an old man fall out
of the carriage, l ran to help him UP
when he got up he asked me where
l lived, told him that l lived 100
miles from the town. l asked
him where he lived and told him
that l would help him home.
When we got home, saw that he
was a rich man. They had sery-
ants to do all their work.
After dinner he asked me where l
was working and how much got.
| told him $500 a week, he said
that that was awful.
He said that was a good reader
and that he would give me $500
week if | would read for him every
night. l thought to myself that l
could make living on that. l
asked when l should start, he said
Saturday night.
I began, and kept on reading for
about month, till one day when
came to read as usual, met fell
low named John Wade, about
sixty. l was quite surpris-
ed when l met him. But l
soon got acquainted with him. He
was a very good man, for while.
They had a housekeeper whome l
was not very much stuck on, but
she didn't like me. But we made
it for month. She was house
keeper for "a years at the same
house.
