currimco thtiv Is associated some superstitious bellof. To domesticate n cat, ns booh as it Is ncepilri'd, take it throe times around tho stove, then pull out ono of its whiskers and hurry it (this whisker, not tho cat) in tho ashes. The cut will novor return to Its formor home. When a wild cow is bought or ob: tnlned tho new owner must lend It three times around the bam or other pluco where he desires It to sleep. He must then take from the animal's nose tho loop by which It was led and bury It in some spot wheru tho renv has circled. This must he done in tho twilight. In the future the animal, without any guidance, will every e vening promptly lie down in this very place when returning from tho fields. When the corn Ileitis aro visited by the small worms, which greatly damage the erojis. the farmers have a peculiar way of destroying them without trouble. Without lotting any ono know the fanner goes to the field, takes seven worms, strings them on a broken eyed needle, nnd then buries them In the seventh hill of tho seventh row of corn. The worms will dlo out In numbers and in a couple of tlays tho field will be free from them. This must be done secretly, In the twilight, or the charm will be broken. Often a whole piece of bamboo Is found lu which black ants have made thedr nest, there being, however, no visible entry. Fishermen jilwitys hunt for this peculiar bnmboo to nssuro themselves of good fishing. They use it as one of the frnmis in their Ashing corral, and the presence of this bamboo charms the fish of the corral, and consequently a rich haul will be rnade. Onco I heard a mother sny thnt none of her children ever fell down stairs in spite of the fact that their steps woro badly constructed and dnugerous. She accounted for tnls very easily. She said that whenever a child became a vear old sho cut a lock of his hair, wrapped it in a piece of paper, and put it In one of the cracks of the stair:; The children might come near falling, but m-ver actually did so, for tlu-y would aUvays find something to catch hold of It is nlmost a general custom in the Philippines that after a wedding tho newly married couple remain at home.

It is believed that should ihey pi on a trip by sea a tonn would arise, or by land, some mishap would overtake them. When tho mountain people lse th dr way in the woods they hive a simple and sure way of finding the rihi uvh. They take off their coat, turn it Inside out, and when they put it on again lu this manner they hnve no difficulty in ronching the place they deslro to go to. Even today these superstitions aro generally believed by the mountain poople, and they consider as foolish the person who ridicules thorn, for they say they have been proven truo by experienco. Cobu Courier. MR. MORGAN'S LOBSTERS. They Are Caught Expressly For Him By One Fisherman. Now that Porto Rico Is a part of the United States It bohoovos the Porto Rlcans to take heightened interest in that most curious of North American products, the multi-mlllion-nire. And thoy aro doing so. Judging from an Item which appeared In a newspaper of San Juan about J. Pierpant Morgan, which may or may not he known to renders of more northerly latitudes. Hero It Is: "Tho lobsters destined for tho exalted pnlato of Mr. Morgan are caught expressly for him and for nobody else; they do not belong to that vulgar class of fish which everybody can acquire at tho market by simply putting down tho price uskrd. Tho American multllmillionnire has had built on tho shores of tho ocean a little but, pnlnted ed. In this hut a lobster fisher lives all the year round. His Job Is an easy one. because Mr. Morgan's craving for the delicious crustaceans comes upon him very seldom not more than throo or four times a year. "Tho lobster fisherman above mentioned draws a salary of $2,000 yearly. Supposing that the American potentate oats lobsters four timess a year, the cost of his lobsters comes to $600 per catch. "Thus this greatest of millionaires has Introduced once again the gastronomic customs of the ancient Ilomnns. Tho Romans liked lampreys just ns Mr. Morgan likes lobsters. In ordor to feed tho lampreys properly and bo enabled to eat them In season they kept them In tanks nt enormous expense. Some historians go so far as to say that tho sold Romans, In ordor that their fish might hnvo n succulent taste, were in the hnblt of giving thorn live slnves to Mit. "But the American arch-nillllonairo has not as yet thought of treating his lobsters to a menl composed of redskins." New York Times. She Was a Real Orator. Senator Beverhlge. during a recent visit to Portland, talked about oratory. "The campaign," ho said, "has given us oratory more remnrkablc for quantity than quality. True oratory Is that which bring? results, Is that which converts an audience of onomios to an audience of supporters. Such oratory is rare. "I have a friend whoso wife, a suffragette,' Is a great orator. Her speeches from the platform are wonderful, and her husband the other day gnvo me an Illustration of tho olllcloncy of her private speeches.
