that there is nothing to indicate that
horse or Gooslck were out. of the us-

that there Is little chalice for vehicles
to turn there without somewhat. dan-

SHOT BLUE HERON.
Law Against Shooting These Birds
Should be Rigldly EnfOrced.
Lovers of bird life and frequenters
f of the shore have been charmed bi’
two or three Great Blue Herons. which
since August have frequented the
' small islands and flats in the harbor. 4
It is now learned that a party had a.
camp on Cedar Hammock a few days
since. and mumbsed themselves shoot-l
in: the little Green Herons and suc-
ceeded in killing one Great Blue Her-~
on. That a man under the guise of
sport would kill one 'of these magnifi-
cent birds which is unfit to eat. and
then throw the body sway fills us with
indignation and regret that we did not
know it soon enough to fasten the
guilt upon them and made them pay
- the full penalty of the law that pro-
tects all the Herons and the Gulls.

SUPERSTITION IN AMERICA. ‘
Queer Beliefs of Our People In on.
fArent Ieotione.
A missionary was discussing the
ruperstltloas of u cannibal tribe from
which I444 had just Returned.
"Oh, it is a very superstitious trlbo,
I admit," he said. "For every silly bo-
llef it has, though, a belief 44f.ours
could be produced of equal silliness.
"Take for instance, the Arhmn.
llo belovos that A coal oil poultloo is
good for sore throat. I-le binds about
his throat a poultice of coal oil, and
it poets the skin off his. neck. Never-4
thclcss this fAl-Ili In its virtue remains
strong. .
"Take the Mississippian. He doses
himself for In4pur44 blood with tens
made of homlot-lt loavcs, of plantain,
and of all manner of nauseous weeds.
'Ilbese teas only give him 44' stomach
who, but neverthclcsh ho t-onsldctn
them as valuable to mankind no quin-
Ine or opium.
"Take the Pennsylvanian of Pike
County. He believes, for rattlesnake
bite, the thing to do is to cut a live
chickcn in half and to lay the half
containing the heart upon the wound.
The lump of chicken will, he holds
adhere to the bite and suck out all
the poison, turning, as the venom on-
lets it, a horrible green hue. There
is no truth In this claim, of course,
but If a visitation of rattlesnakeii
should come upon Pike County, every
chicken there would be cut in half.
“So I mlglbt go on indefinitely. Su-
perstition, except among the highly
«located, is rampant in America, And
crop the. highly educated are apt to
carry pocket plcccs~coins they have
found. or horse chestnuts—In order
that they may have good luck."
Life In Spain.
Ono meets with queer opposites in
Spain. in the Basque Provinces the
people are alert, up-todato, thiriity And
industrious. in Barcelona 1 was agree-
ably surprised at the evidences of
modern progress. and its principal
street, the Ramble, is 4' xdcnlabiy finer
than any boulevard in l‘aris. In some
other sections the natives are about
the limit of sloth and evince a don’t
care a d—-—— spirit in everything that
mncerus their temporal welfare. They
tell a. story of a Spanish shoemaker
who was approached by a customer
with worn-out shoes with a. request
that they be repaired immediately.
Tho cobbler called to his wife to know
how much money there was tin the
house. She saw ercd enough to sup-
ply the family wants for another day,
whereupon the customer was told
that if was in such a great hurry he
had better try some other shop. This
is the spirit that nrevuilsin some
parts of the kingdom, but. must not
be taken as a national characteristic.
—-Washlngton Poe-t. \
Advice to Consumptives.
Ninety-eight per cent of those who
have tuberculosis of the lungs, if they
get well at. all, will have to so at
home. But not "by the fireside." Even
in tenement houses people have made
good recoveries, but it has been by
lying under a wide open window all
day long and all night long, by extra.
feeding. by rest, pad by good courage.
’Iihore are wondurous possibilities on
bank porches andtn sheltered nooks.
It isn’t the coldness of the air, nor
yet the sweltering heat of the sun,
that heals. It is the froth, pure air in
comfort The patient must not be an-
noyed by cold. orheat. but must be
dressed so as to be comfortable. Sleep
. cutofdoors, shielded from the storm,
and dress indoors where it. is warm.
To Be Prepared. ,
"Yes, there its hypocrisy among the
', clergy as well as among other classes
.of people," said the Rev. Paul P. Chen-
oweth, of Grand Rapids, Mich. “A par-
.son that i know of had a call from a
little country parish in Michigan to a
large and wealthy one in Grand Rap-
Ids. But he asked time. for prayer and
consideration—«he didn’t feel sure of
his light. A month passed. Finally
I met his youngest son one day. -
"'How is it Josiah? I4 asked, ‘Is
your father paying to Grand «Rapids?
“ ‘W‘cil,’ answered the youhgster‘ju-
dieiully, ’ptlw is still prayln' for light,
but most. of his things is done pack-
ed.’ "-—‘--Louisvlllc Herald.
