AN CDD SUPERSTITION.

British Fishermen Balk at the Name of Graham. One of the mt curious of British tishermen's superstitions, the one which perhaps to this day has the strongest hold upon them, is that connected with the name of Graham. No fisherman will go to sea if he has heard thi3 name mentioned, nor will be do any manner of work i:pon that day. lie will refuse to suil ia a boat with any one bearing the name, and a house painter from Newcastle called Graham, who had been sent to do some work in on? of the large houses, found his life made ro unbearable by the villagers that he incontinently returned to the town, living his work uncompleted. The women who bait the lines In the w inter wi i unbait every hook and rebait the v.ii-ile length the labor of hours if they hear it mentioned. A local tradesman bearing this unfortunate patronymic is never referred to save as TulT;" nnother. an innkeeper. is known ns "Lucky lilts." No ration al explanation is to be found. On one of the most intelligent fishermen being questioned on the subject he laughed the Idea to scorn. Why. his daughter was married to n Graham. But, he added, a strange thing happened two years ago when be was off at the her ring fishing and hud not been home for some weeks. Having received a letter at Shields to say that his son-in-law was ill. he haile.l a passing boat which had come from the north, asking If they had h?.ird how Jack Graham was. "And, wad ye beleev't, ne soonor had aa syed the words than theor wes a crash, and the mast went ower the side:' None of the crew spoke to him for the rest of the day. New York Post. HABITS OF SPIDERS. Do These Insects Sleep?" la Not an Easy Question to Answer. The question, "Do spiders sleep at night?" is not easy to answer. I have made a careful observation of the sleep of ants, and that could readily be done by watching colonies in their artificial formicaries. It is almost impossible to deal with spiders in the same way. I would answer, however, in general terms that spiders sleep, as all animals do, and doubtless parts of the night are spent in slumber. Many species, however, prey on the night flying Insects, and so must be awake In order to catch their prey. If you will watch the porch or outbuildings of your home on a summer evening you will be likely to see an orb weaving spider drop slowly down on a single thread In the gathering dusk of the evening. From this beginning n round web will soon be spun, and either hanging at the center thereof or in a little nest above and at one side is the architect, with forefeet clasping what we call the "trap line" and waiting for some night flying insect to strike the snare. In this position spiders will sometimes wait for hours, and It Is just possible that they may then take a little nap. They might easily do that and yet not lose their game, for the agitation of the web would rouse the sleeper, and then it would run down the trap line and secure its prey. Some species of spiders do the chief part of their hunting at 'light, and there tire some who chiefly hunt during the day; but, as a rule, hese industrious animals work both lay and night.

The Da; Ing and Devotion of a Brav Maori Youth. Courage is not an attribute peculiar to the white man, nor is self sacrifice the prerogative of civilization. In Mr J. C. Firth's -Nation Making" is tolc a story as touching in Its brave devo tion as any tale of the Victoria crose. The incident occurred at Orakan where the English soldiers had Just defeated the Maoris. A little party ol colonial troops, pursuing fugitives, came upon three natives, two old mec and one young fellow. The youth, seeing the soldiers, drop ped on one knee and aimed vrlth hif gun at the ndvancln? party, which haltt-d a moment, while the old men ran toward the forest. The old meu had thrown away their firearms In order to make escape easier. , The soldiers fired at the youth, but missed. Without discharging his gun he sprang to hl.i feet and ran on in advance until he caught up with the old men once more. Then, facing about, he preenied his gun as before, but reserved his fire. The weary old men gradually drew near cover. Once more the soldiers fired and missed; once more the gallant fellow turned and bounded on. The old men were close to the forest when the youth, nearly fainting, again knelt and took aim, but still did not fire. Che soldiers shot him as he knelt and ruslvd to the forest, bat failed t

capital . ,. .iaes, who, safe in the dcue underbrush, made their escape. On their return the soldiers found the brave young fellow lying dead. HI gun was empty; It had not been loaded at all. With It he had covered the retreat of the old men and secured their freedom by the loss of his own life. No more gallant deed of heroic devotion wss ever accomplished in any land. Dreams of tha Haalthy. There has been ranch discussion as to whether one dreams only on falling to sleep and during the act of waking up, or whether dresms take place at any time during sleep. While not definitely determined as yet. the evidence seems to le rather in favor of the view that one may dream at any time during the night or the whole night through. Dreaming is common to perfectly healthy persons, and lu Itself Is no evidence of disorder. Harper's Magazine.

Mount McXinUy. In mountain climbing the world over the climber usually arrives fresh and unfa timed t the base of the peak he wishes to storm and, as a rule, begins his ascent at a high altitude. On Mount McKiuley, as described by a writer In Outing, It is the opposite. There are twenty-five miles of rugged foothills and glaciers to be crossed with heavy packs before the base of the mountain Is reached, and then the climber Is confronted by IS.000 feet of rock and Ice. OUR COIN MOTTO.; "In Cod We Trust" Suggested by Maryland Farmer. To .111 honest, God fearing farmer of the st:tte of Maryland Is due the mot:o. "In God we trust," which appears on the coins se f the United State. In lStll. when Salmon P. Chase was secretary of the treasury, he wrote to him that as we claimed to be a Chris lan people we should make some suitable recognition of that fact on our coinage. The letter was referred to James Pollock, director of the mint, who discussed the matter In his report for 1SU2. Consrrees was apathetic, and Chase mentioned It to the lawmaker again In 3863: "The motto suggested, In God our trust,' is taken from our national hymn, 'The Btar Spangled Banner.' The sentiment is familiar to every citizen of our country. It has thrilled millions of American freemen. The time Is propitieas; 'tis an hour of national p?rl! and danger, an hour when man's strength Is weakness, when our strength snd saltation must be of God." As a result a twe cent bronte piece was authorized by congress to be coined the following year.

The world is a stage on which actors strut and fret for his edification and amusement, and he pursues the even current of bis way. Invulnerable, doing what is right and proper according to his lights, but utterly indifferent whether what be does finds approval or disapproval from otl'.ers. If HaniM had had any sense of humor he would not have been a nuisance to himself and to all surrounding him. London Truth, Oh, Yes, of Course, Of the many children and women In Nazareth. Palestine, who have picked up a little English all have a way of saying "of course" Instead of a simple "yes." The expression which French people catch up as characteristic of the American and Englishman is always "Oh, yes!"
