Superstitions? No, I’m not su
perstitions. I don’t believe in it
at all—that is to say, I absolutely
refuse to accept circumstances that
strike me in a strange manner as
anything other than circumstances
—coincidences. And yet,” and the
speaker toyed with the slender
stem of of his wine glass, and seem
ed to be trying to find some ex
pression which would explain his
views.
The dinner party were smoking
their cigars and chatting, when
some one avowed his inability to
shake off certain ideas which seem
ed like superstition.
“What [ do not believe,” the
speaker went on, pushing the glass
from him, “is that superstition is
anything but imagination. But
sjmetimes I find superstition gov-,
evning my actions in apite of my
self.”
“In other words,” some one in
terposed, “you say that you are
not, when you know that you are.”
“No, not exactly.”
“Then you know that you are.
not, but say that you are.”
“Yes—no, that isn’t it, either,’’
and his hand again reached for the
wifi e-glass.
“Let me give you an example.
When I was down in Georgia last
winter, a friend gave me the ‘left
bind foot of a grave-yard rabbit.’
A grave-yard rabbit is one which
is shot in a burying-ground be
tween sundown and dark The
left hind foot is a voodoo, and, ac
cording to tradition in Georgia,
brings bad hick to the man upon
whose heart a cross is defined with
a couple of strokes of the soft
brown foot. I put the little thing
in my pocket with a laugh. When
got home I was ill for two weeks,
and could not go to my office du
ring thut time. I finally got out
only to drop a pretty sum on r.
stock which seemed the surest on
the market. I went to the races
alone and lost. I went with
friends, and we all lost. At the
last moment I missed a contract
which would have been worth
§10,000 to me. I did not believe
that the voodoo had anything to do
with my ill-fortnue, but one day I
took it from my pocket, and feeling
ashamed of my weakness, put it in
a drawer. I went to the races the
next day, not to try the effect of
the change, mind you, and won on
everything. My stock vindicated
itself immediately. I made a bet
ter contract than the one I lost. I
wouldn’t carry the voodoo again,
but I knnow that it had nothing to
do with my luck.”
“But you are superstitious,” an
other diner said.
“No, I’m not. Bat when one
gets an idea into his head like that,
it makes him uncomfortable- The
way I d® it is to remove the
cause.”
“Well,” said one of the party,
laughing, “that comes pretty near
superstition.”
‘Here’s r.nothor story,” pnt in
an interested listener. “A friend
of mine on leaving Paris, sold his
cab for 1,300 francs. The bag
gage of himself and wife consisted
of thirteen pieces. The number of
the cab which took them to the
station was thirteen. The steamer
sailed on the 13th day of the
month. There were 1,300 souls
on board, and the steamer was
wrecked. He doesn’t believe in
the unlucky, thirteen, and he
laughs at the whole thing. But
he has told me many times that he
would never get on a steamer again
under similar circumstances, be
cause it would make him misera
ble.”
I still mnintain,” said the ad
vocate'of snperstion, “that'that is
the docrine of superstition.”
“But I am not superstitious;
declared the owner of the voo
doo.”
“Of course not, but—”
‘Til give you the j abbit’s foot
if you will take it.”
“No, thank you,” and the laugh
turned on the scoffer.

Tlipir Business Booming*.
As we waited in the Louisville
and Nashville depot at Nashville
for the train, some one began cry
ing, and an excitement was raised
among the passengers. A 'brief
investigation proved that it was an
old colored man who was giving
way to his grief. Three or four
people remarked on the strange
ness of it, but for some time no one
said anything to him. Then a de
pot policeman came-forward and
took him by the arm, and shook
him roughly by the arm, and said:
“See here, old man, you want to
quit that! You are drunk, and if
you make any more disturbance,
I’ll lock you up.”
“’Deed, but I hain t drunk,” re
plied the old man, as he removed
the teal*-stained handkerchief. “I’ze
losted my ticket an’ money, an 1
that’s what’s the matter.”
“Bosh! You never had any
money to lose. You dry up, or
away you go.”
What’s the matter here?” que
ried a man, as he come forward.
The old man recognized the dia
lect of the southerner in an in
stant, and repressing his emotion
with a great effort, he answered:
“Say, Marse Jack, I’ze bin rob
bed.”
“My name is White.”
“Well, then, Marse White, some
body has done robbed me of my
ticket an’ money.”
“Where were you going?”
“Gwine down into Kaintuck,
whar I was bo’n an’ raised.
“Where’s that?”
“Nigh to Bowlin’ Green; an’
when de wall dun set me free, sah,
I come up dis way. Hain’t bin
home since, sah.”
“And you had a ticket?”
“Yes, sah, an’ over §20 in cash.
Bin savin’ up for ten y’ars, sah.”
“What do you want to go back
for?”
“To see de hils an’ de fields, de
tobacco an’ de co’n, Marse Preston
and de good old Missus. Why,
Marse White, I’zedone bin prayin’
fur it fo’ twenty y’ars. Sometimes
de longin’ has come till I could
hardly hold myself.”
“It’s too bad.”
“De ole woman is buried down
Jar, Marse White—de ole woman
an free chillen. I kin member de
spot same as I seed it yisterday.
You go out half way to de fust to-
backer house, den you turn to de
left an’ go down to de branch whar
de wirneu used ter wash. Dar’s
fo’ trees on de odder bank, an’ right
under ’em is whar dey is all bur
ied. I kin see it! I kin lead you
right to de spot!”
“And what will you do when you
get there?” asked the stranger.
“Go up to de big house an’ ax
Marse Preston to let me lib out de
rest ob my days right dar. I’ze
ole an’ alone, an’ 1 want to be nigh
my dead. Sorter company fer me
when my heart aches.”
“Where were you robbed?”
“Out doahs, dar, I reckon, in de
crowd. See? De pocket is all cut
out. l’ze dreamed an’ pondered—
I’ze had dis journey in my mind
fer y’ars and y’ars, an’ now I’ze
done bin robbed an’ can’t go!”
He fell to crying again, and the
policeman came forwerd in an offi
cious manner. *
“Stand back, sir!’’ commanded
the stranger. “Now, gentlemen,
you have heard the story. I’m
going to help the old man back to
die on the old plantation, and be
buried alongside of his dead.”
“So am I,” called twenty men in
chorus, and in twenty minntes we
had raised enough to buy him a
ticket and leave §50 to spare. And
when he realized his luck, the old
snow-haired black fell upon his
knees in that crowd and prayed:
“Lord, I’ze bin a believer in you
all my days, an’ now 1 dun. axes
you to watch ober dese yere white
folks dat has believed in me an’
helped me to get back to de ole
home.”
And I do believe nine-tenths of
that crowd had teers in their eyes
as the gateman called out the train
for Louisville.

garments, previous to ascending! dicial Y committee did not make
the mountain-for the day was any report on the bill.
J
terribly hot—and after some ex
ertion the hill was at last success
fully ascended, the party sought
the shade of the trees and listened
to Dr. Emmens’ son explain the
good qualities of the explosive. He
gave several tests to show that the
powder would not be exploded by
concussion or heat.
Aout an ounce of powder was
placed on-a shovel and a match ap
plied to it. • There was no explo
sion as some expected, but the
powder began to burn very slow
ly and continued to burn while
fire was put to it, but immediately
went out after the match was with
drawn. Mr. Emmens then put an
ounce of powder on apiece of iron
and struck it several blows in suc
cession, which had no effect on the
powder. He then placed four
sticks of the emensite against a
tree and fired a rifle at it. The
ball penetrated the powder, but
did not explode to the amazement
of the spectators.
Thirty-five sticks of the stuff
were next dropped into a hole 19
feet deep and 2% feet wide. A ful
minating cap was inserted into one
of the yellow sticks of powder,
and this was attached to an elec
tric battery. At a given signal
the handle to the battery box was
raised by one of the workmen,
and there was a most terrific ex
plosion. A massive blue rock
weighing at least fifty tons was
displaced by the emmensite.
A charge was then placed in
nine different holes, each twelve
feet deep, and they were exploded
simultaneously, blowing up the
side of a Ml! for fifty feet the av
erage depth of twelve feet. A test
was then made on the surface of a
large rock. One ounce of emmen
site was place on the rock and ex
ploded, splitting the huge boulder
in twain.
A test was then made with dyna
mite, and it took five ounces to
crack the rock-tin the same manner.
The manner in ivhieh gelbite was
next shown. This is nothing but
au ordinary piece of paper placed
in a solution of emmensite. This
paper was wrapped up and insert
ed into the shell of a cartridge,
with a small fulminating cap cap
on the end. This was placed in a
revoler and discharged in the same
way as a cartrikge loaded with
powder.
The party then descended the
hill and partook of refreshments
that had been provided for tqe oc
casion and afterward returned to
the city. Every person was satisfied
that the new powder was the thing.
In speaking of the explosive, a
contractor said: I think that the
new powder will be adopted univer
sally for blasting purposes and for
an implement of warfare.
The English government is now
negotiating with Dr. Emmens to
manufacture a large supply of pow
der to be used for experiment
ing. -
Victor Boulet, a poor workman
at Keeneville, N. Y., has made a
lucky find. The path from his
house to the gute had worn down
so that some of the stones in it
had become tronblesome. One
morning he took a crowbar and be
gan prying them up.. He found
that they were cobblestones that
had been driven into the ground,
forming a circle. Beneath them
was a large flat stone. His curios
ity was excited, and he pried up
the latter, when he discovered be
neath it a brass kettle fall of mon
ey, but whether gold or silver is

The question whether aliens
shonld be permitted to own lands
has been discussed for several
years. As a general thing, labor
organizations are against allowing
them such a privilege, and those
associations which uphold the idea
of “America for Americans” have
for years insisted that there shonld
be some legislation that would pre
vent citizens of other countries
from acquiring title to land in this
country.
Foreigners own more land
this country than is generally sup
posed. There are English compa
nies which own vast tracts of land
in the western states and in the
territories. In Illinois there are
aliens who own thousands of acres
each, and who have introduced
there the English tenant system.
One man, a citizen of Ireland, owns
scores of farms. He does not keep
them in a very high state of im
provement, and his only purpose
appears to be to get out of them
all he can. His tenants have few
advantages and are scarcely able
to make a Jiving. They are dealt
with in the most arbitrary way by
the agent who has charge of the
property, and, as a consequence,
there is a great deal of dissatisfac
tion among them.
The question which the bill pre
sents is not free from difficulties.
Indeed, it is doubtful whether the
legislation which the bill proposes
would be constitutional. Can the
federal government take from the
states the right to say who shall
and who shall not own land within
their limits? It is argued, of
course, that the government has
just as much right to say whether
aliens shall have the right to pur
chase lands in this conntry as it
has to say that certain classes of
immigrants—Chinese, for instance
shall not come into this conntry.
But may not the Chinese exclusion
act be unconstitutional, and would
not any act shutting out certain
classes of immigrants from Euro-
peon conntries be upconstitation-
? These and other questions are
likely to be raised when the alien
land bill is considered. . There is
a difference, no donbt, between
permitting persons who might be
come dangerous to the country’s
welfare to enter the country and
allowing foreigners to obtain a
proprietary right in lands, bat the
difference is not so very great
from a constitutional standpoint.
The fact that thejndiciary commit
tee Tailed to express an opinion
with respect to the bill would
seem to indicate that it is not
wholly satisfied with regard, to
some of the questions which the
bill presents; .
AtlasU Constitution,
In a recent letter to a friend
this city Prof. W. LeConte Stevens
makes a suggestion of vital inter
est to the cause of education
The professor says: “The south
has been making great strides in
material advancement, but in its
edncational institutions the ad
vance has not been proportionate.
It needs, and will long continue to
need, stimulation. A conspicuous
need of thiB stimulation is found
the universal indisposition of
wealthy men at the south to make
bequests in favor of colleges and
universities. The universities of
Georgia,. South Carolina and Vir
ginia .are cramped for money,
while Harvard, Yale and Prince
ton are continually receiving ac
cessions to their endowment funds.
The fashion to give to educational
institutions has not yet reached the
south, and stimulation will have to
be applied before it ever is set.”
Perhaps Professor Stevens takes
a gloomy view of the outlook. The
American beer drinkers who im
agine that in all cases they get the
genuine pare malt product, will be
interested in the lively fight wMch
is now being waged at Washing
ton against legislation prohibiting
the manofactnre of beer oat of
glacose and each other mysterions
articles. Judging by the energet
ic nature of the protest, glacose
beer making must be an establish
ed industry of considerable magni
tude. Iu spite of the undeniable
growth of pronounced temperance
sentiment among the American
people, the production of beer in
the United States, which was 8,-
383,790 barrels in 1875, was 3,098,-
765 barrels in 1889, or a little less
than half a barrel per capita of oar
population Considering the large
and increasing number of total ab
stainers among the male adults, to
say nothing of women and chil
dren, it is obvious that this leaves
our active beer drinkers a very
gifts made by Peabody, Seney,
Brown, Pattillo, Scott and others
to southern edncational institu
tions, show that some of onr
wealthy men are willing to do a
great deal to help along the cause,
but ibmnst be admitted that the
n ames of such princely benef actors
are very fen in number.
We prefer, however, to take an
optimistic view. Onr men of
wealth as a role are as conspicuous
for their brains as for their bul
lion. They are interested in the
progress of the south, and they
know that when the the cause of
higher education languishes, onr
people will be dependent upon out
side institutions and alien teachers.
Under such adverse circumstances,
succeeding generations of south
erners will represent northern
ideas and principles, and very lit
tle of the south will remain.
Many of our wealthy men give
liberally, in a public-spirited way,
to enterprises of transient interest
and importance. This is well
enough, bat the best and most en-
during monuments that wise and
good men can leave behind them
are living monuments—men, high-
minded men, the glory and strength
of a state. When one associates
his name for all time to come with
the institutions which mould such
men, and raise them up as the bnl-
warks of the commonwealth,-it is a
proud heritages fo bequeath to his
descendants. This is the feeling
among wealthy men in England
and in the older northern states.
These men inspired by the ambi
tion to live through the centuries,
and be honored by the latest pos
terity, have linked their names
and their fortunes with good
works.
This disposition, while not yet
general, will grow in the south,
and some who read these lines will
gludly come to the aid of the col
leges and'universities of Georgia,
the Carolines and Virginia. A be
ginning has been made. Let it be
continued, and in a short time the
endowment funds of southern col
leges will reach a figure that will
make them compare respectfully
with their norhern rivals. This
will ba done sooner or later, and
why not now?

Few people living in a malarial

the malarial feeling or else to care

the growth in the cononmptipn of
malt Itquors in tlijs country is not
so indicative of a spread of drink
ing habits among onr 4 people as
hasty observers sometimes think,
according to the Boston Journal,
for it has been attended by a steady
decrease in the consumption of
spirituous liquors. In 1860, with
a population only about half as
large as that at present, the United
Statei^consnmed 89,968,551 gallons
of spirits. In 1889 the consump
tion had fallen to between 76,-
000,000 and 77,000,000 gallons,
That is, beer had. taken the place
of whisky as the favorite tipple of
drinking Americans. Whether
the change has been in any degree
advantageous is a hotly-debated
question. Brewers are very posi
tive that tbe substitution of milder
malt liquors for the fiery and con
centrated spirits has been benefi-
cial to tbe physique and the mor
als of the people. Bat on the oth
er hand, a recent symposium of
eminent physicians inclined sharp
ly to the opinion that if a man ha>
to use alcohol at all he had better
take carefully selected gin, brandy
or whisky in very moderate doses.
