SUPERSTITION NOT ALL BAD
Harm, and Even Make for Ger
tain Amount Of Joy.

More people are snperstitious than
one ordinarily might think. Many peo-
pie say they are not superstitious
when they are; they will not admit it,
but nevertheless these same people
will not walk under a ladder and they
have queer feeling when biaek
est crosses their path-that is, many
Of them do.
Then, again, there are many people
who are superstitious and do not know
It. they are led this way and that
way unconSciously by some little faith
they cannot account for in something
they know nothing about.
"Well, after all, what harm is done
What would there be to Halloween
if it We're not for superstition? What
would there he to the average we'd
ding if it were not for the little SUI
perstitions that the bride and her at
PENDANTS have about it all-what
would there be to a wedding, aside
entirely from the sacredness of tie
ceremony, if it We're not for these
things?
The world il gradually OUTLYING the
superstitions that veNed it and caused
much unhappinoss, but there are some
superstitions that we never want Ia
outlive-the superstitions that MAKE
for joy and call for more of the kind

Eclipse Frightened Greek Army.

The ancient Greeks and Romans be-
lieved firmly in signs and portents,
and they regarded an eclipse of the
sun or moon as an evil omen. Nicias.
the Athenian general, was so terrified
by an eclipse of the moon that he
dared not defend himself from the
Syracusans, in consequence of which
his whole army was cut to pieces ana
he himself was put to death. The
iomans would never hold a public as
sembly during an eclipse. A very
general notion obtained among bar
barians that the sun or moon wl.en
in eclipse has been devoured by some
monster, and hence the custom of beat
ing drums and brass Kettles to- scare
away the monster. The notion OF lie
ancient MeXicans was that ecipses
we're caused by st!n and moon qpa--
le.S, in which one of the combatants
was beaten black and blue.

vey to be 10000 years Old, have
been eEcavated from depth OF
40 feet below thespresent surface Of
the ground at Washington, ID. G. It
is said that they have probably been
immersed in water ever since some
stupendous CONFUSION buried them.
Kept constantly wet, they would be
preserved indefinitely.
Four Of these stumps were lAore
than Ia feet in diameter and "a feet
in girth. The bureau of standards
asserts that they are the remnants of
trees of tropical growth, indicating
that the site of Washington was, in
the long ago, u tropical location.
No portions of the tree trunks he
longing to these stumps were found
In the excavations excepting the short
portions attached to the root.
