Lingering Superstitions.

A few weeks ago a young fisherman, engaged in his calling on the English coast, fell into the sea and was drowned. This occurrence, not an unusual one, would have passed unnoticed had it not been for a singular coincidence. It happened that exactly one year before to the very day the young fisherman’s father came to his death in precisely the same manner. The people of the fishing village were persuaded that this was the direct act of Providence, and at once pronounced the date on which, at a year’s interval, father and son had perished, “the un-» lucky day” of the family. A belief in “lucky” and “unlucky” days, indeed, survives among the less intelligent classes, not of England only, but of all countries; and this belief is propped up by the recollection of historical events, or events which happen by chance on the same day to families or neighborhoods. Thursday was regarded as the unlucky day of the Tudor sovereigns of England, for on that day died not only Bluff King Hal himself, but his son Edward and his two daughters, Mary and Elizabeth. If the prosent English royal family were superstitious, they might well regard the 14th of December as their unlucky day, for that was the date of the death both of Prince Albert and his favorite daughter, the Princess Alice. It is not very long since the belief in lucky and unlucky days caused the country folk in England to observe them religiously. Some of these superstitions seem to us, in these days of enlightenment, strange and amusing enough. It was thought, for instance, that people who were ill of a fever were worse on Sunday than on any other day of the week; and that if they perchance grew better on a Sunday, it was a sign that they would soon have a relapse. Another, superstition, which is, perhaps, not yet extinct, was that the day of the week on which the fourteenth of May fell was an unlucky day all the rest of the year; and on that day people would not get married, or do any serious business. In Northern Scotland, January and May have always been looked upon as unlucky months, during which it would be flying in the face of an unhappy fate to get married. It is curious that there are still many intelligent persons who do not like to sit down thirteen at a table; or to overturn a salt-cellar; or to enter upon any serious undertaking on Friday. Among the lucky signs still believed in by English rustics are the visits of strange bees to the garden, the meeting with a flock of sheep, and the finding of a horse-shoe; but it is very unfortunate for a man to put his stockings on insideout, and to meet a funeral procession at right angles. If a person’s eye itches, it is said among the country people that that person will either weep soon, or be kissed by a fool. If a maid, on St. Valentine’s day, on going out, meets a man before she does a woman, it is a sign that she will be wedded before the end of the year. All these singular superstitions have grown up and have received additions in the long centuries during which the world has been slowly growing in civilization and riper reason. But as time goes on, these superstitions grow fainter and fainter, and in time they will die out, as the light of knowledge more and more illumines mankind.— Youth’s Companion.

With Uncovered Heads.

The most wonderful transformation acene I ever saw in the matter of hats •was on Fleet street, London, after President Garfield’s death. It became known that the Queen had ordered the great bell of St. Paul’s to be tolled, an honor never before accorded except to the memory of an English sovereign. Fleet street and Floodgate Hill were one mass of hats—tall, black, glistening hats. All traffic was suspended. The old phrase, “a sea of hats, ” was most apt to this scene, and this was literally the Black Sea. Probably no one in the thousands there had ever heard the mournful sound of that great bell. The immense crowd waited patiently for hours. Then came the first low, dull, sonorous stroke of the long-silent bell. Instantly every hat was removed, and the change from a sea of hats to a sea of heads was most magical. • The English crowd stood, while that bell tolled, with uncovered heads, a token of respect for the uncrowned monarch who lay dead beyond the ocean.—De- ■ troit Free Press.

The Cat’s Tail.

Appropriate to the present rage for decollete dresses among ladies is the following anecdote related of President Lincoln: One evening Mrs. Lincoln swept with magnificent dress into the library where the President was waiting to escort her into the brilliant reception parlor. Her dress was composed of a very long train, but cut low neck. Lincoln was standing with his back toward the fire when his wife entered. “Whew!” said old Abe, “what a long tail our cat has to-night.” Mrs. Lincoln made no. answer, and the President continued, “Say, mother, don’t you think it would be better if some of our cat’s tail was around her neck?”—Brooklyn Magazine. . .......

A SINGULAR BOOK.

Scintillating with Sarcasm and Brilliant with Truth. [New York Cor. American Rural Home.] Chap. I. “Has Malaria-,’’ goes to Florida. Chap. JI. “Overworked;” goes to Europe. Chap. JU. “Has Rheumatism;** goes to Ems. Chap. IV. Has a row with his doctor!

The above chapters, Mr. Editor, I find in a book recently published by an annoymous author. I have read a deal of sarcasm in my day, but I never read anything equal to the sarcasm herein contained. I suspect the experience portrayed is a personal one; in short, the author intimates as much on page 31. Let me give you a synopsis: “Malaria,” as it states, is the cloak with which superficial physicians cover up a multitude of ill feelings which they do not understand, and do not much care to investigate. It is also a cover for such diseases as they cannot cure. When they advise their patient to travel or that he has overworked, and needs rest, and is probably suffering from malaria, it is a confession of ignorance or of inability. The patient goes abroad. The change is a tonic, and for a time he feels better. Comes home. Fickle appetite, frequent headaches, severe colds, cramps, sleeplessness, irritability, tired feelings, and general unfitness lor business are succeeded in due time by alarming attacks of rheumatism which flits about his body regardless of all human feelings. It is muscular—in his back. Articular—in his joints. Inflammatory, my! how he fears it will fly to his heart! Now off he goes to the springs. The doctor sends him there, of course, to get well; at the same time he dees not really want him to die on his hands! That would hurt his business!

Better lor a few days. Returns. After a while neuralgia transfixes him. He bloats; cannot breathe; has pneumonia; cannot walk; canngt sleep on his leftside; is fretful; very nervous and irritableis pale and flabby; has frequent chills and fevers; everything about him seems to go wrong; becomes suspicious; musters up strength and demands to know what is killing him! “Great heavens!” he cries, “why have you kept me so long in ignorance?” “Because,” said the doctor, “I read your fate five years ago. I thought best to keep you comfortable and Ignorant of the facts.” He dismisses his doctor, but too late! His fortune has all gone to fees. But him, what becomes of him? The other day a well-known Wall Street banker said to me, “It is really astonishing how general Bright’s disease is becoming. Two of my personal friends are now dying of it. But it is- not incurable, lam certain, for my nephew was recently cured when his physicians said recovery was imposssible. The case seems to me to be a wonderful one.” This gentleman formerly represented his government in a foreign country. He knows, appreciates, and declares the value of that preparation, because his nephew, who is a son of Banish Vice Consul Schmidt, was pronounced Incurable when the Remedy, Warner’s safe cure, was begun. “Yes,” said his father, “1 was very skeptical, but since taking that remedy the boy is well.’.’ I regret to note that ex-President Arthur is said to be a victim of this terrible disease. He ought to live, but the probabilities are that since authorized remedies can not cure him, his physicians will not advise him to save his life, as so many thousands have done, by the use of Warner’s safe cure, which Gen. Christiansen, at Drexel, Morgan & Co.’s, told mehe regarded “as a wonderful remedy.” Well, I suspect the hero of the book cured himself by the same means. The internal evidence points very strongly to this conclusion.

I cannot close my notice of this book better than by quoting his advice to his readers: “If, my friend, you have such an experience as I have portrayed, do not put your trust In physicians to the exclusion of other remedial agencies. They have no monopoly over disease, and 1 personally know that many of them are so very ‘conscientious’ that they would far prefer that their patients should go to heaven direct from their powerless hands than that they should be saved to earth by the use of any ‘unauthorized’ means.” And that the author’s condemnation is too true, how many thousands duped, and yet rescued, as he was, can personally testify?

The Art of Oiling Shoes.

A one-armed bootblack having taken the contract to oil the shoes of a reporter, after the preliminary brushing began rubbing the leather with a wet cloth. When asked what it was for, he explained: “When I began this business,” said the operator, pausing a moment to cast an admiring glance at the high, aristocratic arch of the newsgatherer’s instep, “I used to keep on rubbing the oil into the leather until a man told me to stop. I thought they’d know when they had enough, and I wanted to give satisfaction. Some of my customers complained that the oil soaked through their boots and saturated their socks. I thought perhaps I had been putting on too much oil, but the same fault was found in several cases where I had been more careful. Finally an old shoemaker whom I knew came along, and I asked him what I ought to do to save my trade. He told me never to oil a shoe until I had wet it first. The reason was that the water would penetrate the leather, and, remaining there, keep the oil from soaking through. Besides the water would soften the leather and open it so that the oil would do the leather more good. My trade has prospered ever since. “I was oiling a man up one day and he asked me the same question yo;u did. When I explained the reason, he said that was on the same principle as that of painting kerosene oil barrels. T told him I thought they were painted blue just to look nice. He said it was to prevent the barrels from leaking. During a long voyage or a long journey bv rail, sometimes half a barrel of oil would leak through the pores of the wood and evaporate. So some sharp fellow began to study some way of preventing such loss. He first painted the barrel blue on the outside and then filled it with water and allowed it to stand until it soaked up all it would. Then the oil was put in. The water kept the oil from soaking in the wood, and the paint on the outside kept the water from coming out. He got a patent on his discovery; and now he sits in his office and draws his royalty of one cent on every barrel made to hold kerosene oil for shipment. He’s got a mighty soft thing on oil barrels.”— New York Mail. ,>• M > •’ •■■4. ./ : i * He-yas informed that a lady called tospe*hinrin his absence. “A latlji” he mused aloud'; *a lady.” Upon*an jftgfeuyafe , defigrjptjpn .lie -suddenly Uh, dot vas no lady; dot vas myvife.*

The Care of Children.

Boston, Mass. A leading medical journal thinks it is about time mothers should know how seriously the health of children is imperiled by the use of preparations containing morphia and opium, and given for the cure of colds and coughs. The chemist of the Brooklyn»Board of Health, Otto Grothe, Ph. D., a graduate of the University of Kiel, Germany, certifies officially that recently a harmless and yet effective article for such complaints has come to his notice. He refers to the newly discovered Red Star Cough Cure, which he found purely vegetable.

Children as Pretenders.

What pretenders most children are 1 They love to impose upon themselves as well as upon others. “I must sit down and study this scholar stuff,” says a little boy in petticoats who can neither read nor write. “O, brother, you smile like the dawn of the day!” says one infant to another, and then in an undertone asks: “Mamma, what is the ‘dawn of the day ?’ ” To children the mysterious always appears imposing. Willie, hearing his father say that Willie’s grandmother had expressed the wish to be cremated when she dies, listened in open-mouthed wonder, and went to a neighbor’s at once to communicate the intelligence that his “grandma is going to be cream-tartared. ” The same boy, aged 5, though several years younger than his sister, feels an almost manly superiority over her. They were talking of something, when he said: “I knew that before you were born.” Alice, meekly indignant, said: “Why, Willie, you were not born then.” “Well, the lump of dirt I was made of knew it. ”

Malaria Altitudes.

While malaria belongs chiefly to lowlying districts, it may, under favorable conditions, exist at great elevations. On the Tuscan Apennines it is found 1,100 feet above the sea-level; on the Pyrenees and Mexican Cordilleras, 5,000 feet; on the Himalayas, 6,400 feet; on the island of Ceylon, 6,500 feet; and on the Andes, 11,000 feet. Under ordinary circumstances, however, a certain moderate altitude affords immunity from malaria. The elevation of entire security is not positively known, but it has been approximated as follows: In Italy, 400 to 500 feet; in California, 1,000 feet; in the Appalachian Mountains of the United States, 3,000 feet; in the West Indies, 1,400 to 1,800 feet; in India, 2,000 feet. In any of these regions malaria may drift up ravines to an indefinite height.

When on the High Seas.

On the rail, on a steamboat, aboard a fishing smack, or yachting on the coast, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters will be found a reliable means of averting and relieving ailments to which travelers, mariners, and emigrants are peculiarly subject. Sea captains, ship doctors, voyagers, or sojourners in the tropics, and all about to encounter unacciimated, and unaccustomed or dangerous climate, should not neglect to avail themselves of this safeguard of well ascertained and long-tried merit. Constipation, biliousness, malarial fevers, indigestion, rheumatism, and affections of the bladder and kidneys are among the ailments which it eradicates, and it may be resorted to not only with confidence in its remedial efficacy, but also in its perfect freedom from every objectionable ingredient, since it is derived from the purest and most salutary sources. It counteracts the effects of unwholesome food and water.

One Man Counted as Ten.

Bishop Burnett relates a curious circumstance respecting the original passage of that important statute, the habeas-corpus act. “It was carried,” he says, “by an odd artifice in the House of Lords. Lord Grey and Lord Norris were named to be the tellers. Lord Norris, being a man subject to vapors, was not at all times attentive to what he was doing; so, a very fat Lord coming in, Lord Grey counted him for ten, as a jest at first, but, seeing Lord Norris had not observed it, he went on with this misreckoning of ten; so it was reported to the House, and declared that they who were for the bill were the majority, though it indeed went on the other side, and by this means the bill passed. It is probable that there never was a dentist so amiable of disposition but, if any one went to buy his wares, he would show his teeth. g The great diaphoretic and anodyne, for colds, levers, and inflammatory attacks, is Dr. Fierce’s Compound Extract of SmartWeed; also, cures colic, cramps, cholera morbus, diarrhoea, und dysentery, or bloody-flux.

THE MODEL THEATER.

It la Located in Chicago, and McVicker’s Is Its Name. (From the Chicago Inter Ocean.] The work of reformation at McVicker’s Theater has been bo quietly conducted that most people will be surprised to find how radical it has been. While the two upper stories were building to the public view, the interior of the theater was undergoing the reconstructive process which has made it one of the most delightful auditoriums that may be found anywhere. From stage to dome the remodeling and redecorating has been carried so far that, with the single exception of the balcony sweep and the supporting columns, nothing remains to suggest the old auditorium, and these will not be recognized as familiar because of the novel surroundings of which they have been made a part. One of the most important alterations, «ne that will not be perceived by the majority of the patrons of the house, was the elevation of the gallery ceiling by several feet, by means of which that portion of the house has been made as comfortable as any other part. This was done in conformity with Mr. McVicker’s idea that all patrons of his house should be entertained agreeably and without suffering unpleasant annoyances, whether they paid $1.50 for admission or only 25 cents. For the same reason he has furnished to every portion of the house, gallery included, separate retiring rooms for ladies and gentlemen, and stationed a watjr fountain for the supply of ice water upon every landing. These attentions, together with the seating arrangements and the unique plan of ventilation introduced, will certainly tend to make this theater a model in the care of patrons. The ventilating system referred to is rather complicated, but it may be sufficiently explained in a few words: By a senes of ducts and revolving fans the air, which has first been purified by passing through a filter of charcoal and gravel, is conveyed to the top of the building and forced downward into the auditorium through large induction tubes. The air is not only forced in by pressure, but it is drawn downward by suction of fans located beneath the auditorium and carried off through innumerable exits at regular intervals about the house and under the seats. This keeps going a continuous supply of fresh, pure air without creating a draft, and prevents the dust and refuse particles of the floor rising into the atmosphere to be inhaled. In winter, by the same process, heated air will be supplied. It may be well to state that boilers, furnaces, and all fire appliances have been removed from the theater building to one across the alley, and as all the lighting will be done by electric burners, there is no danger by fire to be apprehended. Nevertheless, as a further precaution against any possible contingency, a heavy twenty-inch fire wall has been built underneath, dividing the stage and auditorium spaces, so there is no chance for a fire to spread in that way from stage to auditorium. But if there are timid ones who think even these measures insufficient to reassure them, they will find consolation in the fact that the auditorium has been so arranged that each one of its seven aisles leads directly to an exit, and that each exit opens straight upon the street or alleys. There are twenty-three exits of this description throughout the house. Mr. McVicker feels satisfied that this will be pronounced the model theater of the country, and, in order to have that said by the profession as well as by the public, he has made the improvements behind the stage conform with those in front A general invitation is extended to people living outside of the city to inspect this model theater when visiting Chicago. Here the play can be enjoyed with a feeling of safety by all lovers of first-class drama. As a Cure for Sore Throat and Coughs, "Brown's Bronchial Troches” have been thoroughly tested, and maintain their good reputation.
