SUPERSTITIONS.
They Play at Times an Important Role
In Human Affairs.
When Sir Charles Napier had con¬
quered Mehemet Ali, he found It im¬
possible to force or coax the wily
Egyptian Into signing the treaty which
only would make his victory effective.
He had nineteen interviews with
Mehemet, in which the Englishman by
turns argued, flattered and threatened
his antagonist, who listened day after
day with the same immovable, smiling
countenance.
One day Sir Charles in speaking of
England said casually that it “was
governed by a lucky woman.” A
strange flash passed over the pasha's
countenance, but he made no answer.
As soon as Napier had gone Mehemet
sent for the English consul, who was
an Egyptian, and demanded:
“You were in London when the Eng¬
lish queen was crowned. Were the
omens bad or good?”
“All good.”
“You think that good luck is writ¬
ten on her forehead?”
“I did not think upon the matter be¬
fore, but now that you ask me 1 be¬
lieve that it is. When she asked Allah
to help her in her work, her eyes ran
over. Allah loves the innocent."
“No doubt of that.” said Mehemet
anxiously. “She must be lucky.”
Early the next morning he sent for
Sir Charles and signed the treaty.
English power and English cannon he
could brave, but not “the luck” writ¬
ten upon the forehead of a good worn
an whom be had never seen.
General Gordon's remarkable Infill
ence over the Chinese was in a largo
degree duo. it is stated, to their belief
In his extraordinary luck. During the
Taiping rebellion ho was, followed by
an army which did nut comprehend
cither ids ability or ids religious seal
but which believed that lie was pro¬
tected by an invisible being who led
them to victory. No sword con!:!
wound him or bullet kill. A certain
black ebony cane which he carried w is
supposed to be the magic talisman
which brought him victory, and Gen¬
era! Gordon was shrewd enough at
ways to carry this cane when he led
them into battle.
Those superstitious seem absurd to
us. but they show that the ignorant
men who hold thorn believe in an i:i
visible power who can give good or ill

MAN EATING TIGERS.
The Killing Methods of These Terrible
Brutes In India.
The theory that a man eating tiger:
is always an old tiger, more <>r less
toothless and feeble, which lias found
(he strain of catching vigorous wild |
game too much for Us failing strength.
Las been upset by the bagging of no¬
torious man eaters which were found
lo be young animals in the full pride
of their powers. And it is likely that
the taste for human flesh is passed
■ n from mother to chfld, the tigress,
herself a man eater, teaching her cubs
to hunt as she hunts. How terrible a
thing a man eater may he can tie
judged from the fact that a (iger gen¬
erally kills every second night, whether
its quarry he man or beast, Having
killed, it makes one meal that night,
then drags tiie carcass somewhere into
cover and more or less conceals it as
a dog may hide a bone, On the next
night its habit is to return to the same
kill, and it is in that second visit that
the hunter usually finds his oppor¬
tunity. It is not the rule for a tiger
to return again a third time, not ..ba¬
cause it is above eating carrion, but
seemingly it tiros of tbs carcass, which
it has already twice mumbled over.
Thus one tiger In India has been
known to kill regularly its fifteen na¬
tives a month with almost mechanical
i punctuality. Another, which seemlng

Four-Year Old
Boy Drowned in
Mill Race.
Littlo Son of Tay lor Gordon
Loses Life by Drowning at
Fort Mountain Horne.
Spring Place, Aug. 81.—The
four year-old son of Taylor Gor¬
don was drowned in a mill race
at Fort Mountain, four miles east
of Spring Place. The little fel¬
low was missed by his mother,
who went out to look for him,
and was horified to find his body
floating around in the mill race.
His body was quickly recovered
and everything possible done to
bring him to life without avail.
The neighbors worked to this
end for nearly an hour before
they gave up hopes. There was
much excitement in the commu
mty over the unfortunate affair.

HISTORIC WEAPONS.
Trophies Wrested From the Crusader*
Found In the Sudan.
Among the trophies of arms display¬
ed on the walls of Windsor castle
one of the most Interesting of the long
series Is a group of weapons and armor
sent to Queen Victoria by Lord Kitch¬
ener after the Dongoia campaign on
the upper Nile In 1896. ,
The trophy consists of a coat of
chain mall, a number of spears and a
long cross hi 1 ted sword. On the
straight steel blade of the sword there
Is an inscription In odd fashioned let¬
ters: “No me saques sin razon. No me
entraines sin honor.”
The words are Spanish, but the same
motto was Inscribed on sword’blades
In the days of chivalry In most of the
languages of Europe. Its meaning is
the Knightly rule for all who bear the
sword: Do not draw me without rea¬
son. Do not sheathe me without honor.
The weapon was taken from the
abandoned camp of Wad Blshara, the
dervish general, after the battle of
Hafir (Sept. 23. 1896). How came a
blade with such a motto to be fonnd
lu a Moslem bivouac in the heart of
the Sudan?
The presence of these crusader
swords In the Sudan.Is not «» difficult
to explain. In the thirteenth century
the Mohammedan caliphs of Egypt not
only curried on successful wars
against the crusaders In Syria, de¬
stroying the last vestiges of the Latin
kingdom of Jerusalem, but also de¬
feated two attempts of the Europeans
to Invade Egypt itself, one of them
led by St. Louis of France.
Enormous quantities of western
arms and warlike equipments must
have 1hus passed into the possession
of the Mohammedan conquerors.—
Chambers’ Journal.
BABY TALK.
An Infantile Habit That Sometimes
Sticks and Breeds Trouble.
Once in awhile a rare stammering
case comes to the laboratory where
there’s nothing the matter with the
child—the matter Is with his dear
mamma. In 1905 Dr. Wltiner examin¬
ed a boy of twelve who talked baby
talk—a bright, alert youngster, to all
appearances normal. But nobody could
understand a word he uttered—except
mamma; she understood It all per¬
fectly. “I—aw—ow—ay” was to her
ear “I want to go out to play” as
plain as anything could be. It was her
tender custom to reply likewise, and
she took pride In the thought that she
had novel* allowed her Willie to asso¬
ciate with the children on the block.
She had encouraged film to be her
baby and “kept him from growing up
too soon” by prattling to him.
Except for his unintelligible lan¬
guage, the examination did not reveal
a defect, physical or mental. In the
boy, and Dr. Wltiner was forced to
the conclusion tbut the trouble lay in
the persistence of an infuutile habit of
articulation for which the mother was
solely responsible. Through senti¬
mentality and overindulgence “she had
almost ruined his chances for a use¬
ful and possibly successful life."
(Psychological clinic, March, 1907.)
Months of painstukiug, expert labor
had to be expended upon him to break
up the habit his mother had carefully
developed before he could even begin
to make himself understood■ by any
one else.—Dr. Wltmer of Yule la Me
Clare’s Magazine.
Almost Disbelieved Her Eyes.
“Among the memories of my toy
hood,” said a New York man, "there
Is one odd episode that Is particularly
vivid. It Is a conversation that I over¬
heard one morning as I walked toward
the Boston high school between two
women.
“The women were talking about ba¬
bies—their size, weight, health, and so
forth.
“ ‘Why, when I was a week old,’ said
the first woman, ‘I was such a little
baby that they put me In a quart pot
and put the lid on over me.’
“The other woman was amazed and
horrified, ‘And did you live?’ she
asked.
“ -They say I did,’ her friend an¬
swered.
•“Well, well, well!’ exclaimed the
second woman, And she glanced at
the other almost doubtfully.”
In the Wrong Plsoe.
A one legged Welsh orator named
Jones was pretty successful In' ban¬
tering an Irishman, when the latter
asked blm:
“How did you come to lose your
leg?”
“Well.” said Jones, “on examining
my pedigree^ and looking up my de¬
scent 1 found there was some Irish
blood lu me, and, becoming convinced
that It was settled In the left leg, I
had it cut off at once."
“By the powers,” said Pat, “it would
have been a very good thing if It had)
only settled In your head'."- London
Mall.
The Fool.
He was a noble lord, and be was is
an awful rage with one of his foot¬
men.
“It Is intolerable!” he exclaimed.
“Are you a fool, or am I?”
“Oh, my lord,” replied James, with
humility, anxious to appease the great
man, “I am sure you would not keep
a servant who was a fool."
