Americuu Superstition.
The following superstitions, handed down
by tradition, are yet fervently believed in
many parts of America : White specks on
the nailu-orc Inek. Whoever reads epitaphs
loses li«JK(*)ory, To.rock.the cradle when
empty is injurious to the child. Tojeat
while a bell is tolling lor a fniioral cati'-es
toothache. The crowing of a hen indicates
Some approaching disaster.' When n mquse

apprehended He who has teeth wide asun

land Whoever finds a four-leaf trefoil—
shaniroi H—dn nhl wear it for good Inek.
Beggar’tt-brearHhou'd he given tn children
who are slow in learning to speak. II a

into a cellar he becomes fearful. When
Children play sold era on the roadside it fore
bodes the rfpprohch' of War. A child grows
proud if st.Hi red to look into a mirror while
less than, twelve months old. Tie who pro
poses moving into a new hount must senfl in
beforehand bread and a new broom. Who
ever sutiztsat an eutly hour either hears
some news or tectives some ptcsen{s the
same day. The fitst tooth cast by a child,
should be swallowed by the mother, to insure
a new growth of. teeth. Buttoning the coat
awiy, or dtawing on a sleeking ins.de out,
causes motors to go wrong during the day.
By bending the head to the hollow ol the

A REenvTTON tn Distort. —ft was our
pleasure some time ago 10 hear a e'ass recite
on n plan quite new to ns. it was a class
ih History. 'Hie- ISkson was rpad as in any
ordinurv reading class, the reader stnnding. |
When the one reading made a mistake the j
one next below, on correcting it, took bis ,
place. The readout Guirhed,. the .hardest I
words were given to the class to be spelled,
nnd all misspelling noticed and corrected by a j
pupil gate him the next higher place. The
teacher did not notice any mistakes, but left ■
them all to be corrected by the pupils.
The questions were asked by the pupils,
beginning at the foot of the class. If the
pupil questioned could not answer, his place
taken-by the questioner, on giving a
correct answer. The pupils did all the
work exc pt giving out words to be spelled.
It was well and quickly done. What class
would lik<i to try it ?— JSxchailge-
W f. fnquently b‘ nr of narrow r scapes from
drowning, the victims in nearly every in
stance being rescued “just as they wete' g<t t

they are Pot saved when about te go down
the second time? I>et os hear of some one
saved before going down at all, like the
Dutchman who was the sole snrvivor of a
party of nine, the reason of his miraeijlous \
escapo being that be “didn’t go oudt iu > der

A New Story
By a Lady of Savannah.
THE SAVANNAH WEEKLY NEWS
Of Oc'ober 4<h will remain the first chap
ters of story of thrilling interest, entitled
ANA BEL’S SECRET,
BY MRS. 3. 0. BRANCH.
We desire not to anticipate the pleasure
which the readers of ihe Weekly News will
derive from the ntrmal of this charming
story, and therefore will not speak of it here
further than to say that in the management
of an original and intensely interesting plot,
not less than in her powers of description,
her life-like delineations of character, and the
pure moral tone of her reflections, the ac
complished author gives assurance that she
inherits the genins of her gifted mother,
Mrs. Caroline Lee Hen'x, who«e works of
fiction have been so universally admired, and
still rank among the most popular American
books of their class. “Anabel’s Secret” is
developed in California, of which State the
author was at one time a resident, and her
vivid descriptions of some of the most won
derful scenery of that picturesque region are
among the striking features of the story
The new serial will run throngh some
eight or ten numbers of the Weekly. Sub
scribers who desire to have the story com
plete should send in tbeir subscriptions at
once.
Subscription &2 a year, 81 for six months.
Money can be sent by Money Order, Regis
