tumorous department. Mistakes of tho Printer Man. The amusing mistakes that happen In printing offices are the source of much fun for the men who set type. Most of the "stuff that passes through the hands of printers is written by men with fair or better educations. But they are usually poor penmen, and when matter comes to a printer that he cannot read he "makes a stab" at it and trusts to the proof reader to correct mistakes. Perhaps you will remember that Bryan made a speech on free silver. As the climax to his oration he declared the American people wanted "no cross of gold, no crown of thorns." The expression has become historic. It was such a striking phrase that a Chicago paper decided it would make a good head over the convention story. Therefore one of the head writers wrote the head: "No cross, no crown." When set it read: No cows, no cream." Fortunately the mistake was discovered In time for correction. In the same office another printer made an amusing: mistake. He was putting an article into type for the dramatic critic. Many of the words used by the critic were new ones to the printer. In discussng the merits of a certain violinist who was performing at the Auditorium the critic wrote a sentence which concluded with the words, "and the gentleman also lacks polish." When a proof was taken of the type it read: And the gentleman also speaks Polish." All newspaper offices have what is called a "style." For instance, some papers bar expressions of horror. Others bar words that are too long. They have printed lists of synonyms which printers shall substitute for the words that are under the ban. Other papers have a style as to how two or more syllables are to be separated in case the word comes at the end of a line of type. Some printers stick too close to "style rules." A "style rule" in a certain office cautioned the printers against using the word "balance." The word "remainder" was substituted. The night after the rule went into effect a prominent citizen fell from a balcony and was killed. The reporter who wrote the story used the expression: "He lost his balance and fell to the street," The printer who got hold of the story made It appear: "He lost his 'remainder* and fell to the street" r&a90n of Hia Pear.?"There la a little town up the coaat that bears the name of Ocosta," remarked Jere T. Burke of the Southern Pacific law department while In a reminiscent mood yesterday afternoon. "It lies just back of Gray's Harbor, and la the largest town In that neighborhood. However, that does not mean very much. I visited Ocosta a little while back, and while I was In town a certain fellow traded a town lot for a horse. After closing the deal the fellow that had acquired the horse hurriedly took the animal to a blacksmith shop and asked the blacksmith to shoe him in a hurry. The blacksmith seemed In no hurry, however, and the owner of the horse made two or three trips outside of the shop, looking nervously up the road. " 'Can't you hurry that Job?' he said to the blacksmith. 'I never was in such a hurry in my life.' " 'Say,' declared the blacksmith, 'did you steal this horse?' " 'No, I didn't steal the horse,' said the owner reassuringly. 'I traded a lot for the horse, and by mistake I put two lots In the deed instead of one. Now I'm afraid the other fellow will discover the mistake and come back to demand the horse." Not Exactly What the Lawyer Wanted.?"Lawyers have some queer experiences," said the Judge. "One of them was telling of a case heard before me. A young man had been arrested for larceny and he sent for this lawyer. "The young fellow told the attorney that he was Innocent, but that he had no friends In the city and no money. His mother, however, was In fair circumstances and he knew that she would help him. What he wanted the lawyer to do was to defend him and also send a telegram to his mother telling of his tlx and asking for aid. The lawyer agreed to this and made such a good defense that the young man was acquitted. "He and the attorney went direct to the telegraph office to which the message had been ordered sent and found it. The young man was so grateful to the lawyer that, he handed him the unopened envelope, telling him that he must take all the money that his mother had telegraphed him. The lawyer tore open the yellow cover and his eyes were greeted with these words: 'Put your trust In Ood. I am praying for you. Mother.""?New Orleans Times-Democrat. Confi km km thr Juikje's View.? Judge Kennedy of the Newton police QOUri. although a model of courtesy on \fce bench, never falls to nail a He. especially If the falsifier is on trial for a erime. An oW offender was arraigned before him, eharged with drunkenness. When the complaint had been read the defendant bravely answered. "Not gulley." The Judge, eyeing him sharply, inquired: "How long since you were drunk?" The prisoner answered that he hadn't taken a drink for more than a year. "That's not true," replied his honor. "I saw you drunk within a month on the street In Boston, and you had the impudence to accost me." "Did I spake to you, sor?" asked the prisoner. "You did." said the court. "Well, thin, I must have been drunk, yer Anner." No one in the court room enjoyed the Incident more than the Judge.?Boston Herald. No Doubt of His Honesty.?It is only a few years since Woonsocket missed for good the familiar face of Alf Church, for a long time deputy sheriff and chief of police, a man who was straightforward and blunt in all his dealings. One day a grocer went to Alf for Information about a certain Joe White, who had applied for credit and a book at his store, and the following dialogue ensued: "Good mornln', Mr. Church." "Mornln'." "Do you know Joe White?" Yes." "What kind of a feller Is he?" "Putty fair." "Is he honest?" "Honest? I should say so. Been arrested twice for stealing and acquitted both times."? Boston Herald.

A farmer in the Peak district, having purchased a small fiock of sheep in the Lowlands, drove the flock the whole way from Scotland to his farm in Derbyshire with the aid of a collie dog which was lent to him by the Scotch farmer from whom he purchased the sheep. "When you get to your home with the sheep," said the [Scotchman., "let the dog fill his belly; mm then tell him to go home." The Derbyshire man duly arrived at his farm with the sheep, and was so pleased with the collie dog and Its performance that he decided to keep It a few days before sending It back. One day the farmer was away from home during the whole of the day, and on returning In the evening he found that the Scotch collie was missing, and also the flock of sheep. In a few days tidings came that the dog had arrived at his Scotch home and had brought the sheep back with him. SOME COMMON SUPERSTITION8. Thousands of Persons Influenced by Various Forms of Superstition. That superstition exerts a powerful influence over the affairs of mankind may be ascertained by a residence in almost any rural community in the country. It cannot be said that only the Ignorant and uncouth classes give credence to dark sayings. There are thousands of persons who do unacknowledged service to the mysterious and unknown whose training and education have not succeeded In entirely destroying the effect of potencies and charms learned ana Denevea in yauui. Especially Is this true if the individual be southern born, for the association and influence of darkies may not be dismissed at a word, and there is no more superstitious class than the southern negro. It Is remarkable how generally sayings of superstition have spread over the country. No section may claim to be above harboring any such beliefs, or rather, practices; for it may not be claimed that all believe in the efficacy who practice and observe certain forms or take cognizance of defined circumstances. Nevertheless, there are, as a matter of fact, few persons who care to pass a pin lying on the ground if the point chance to be toward them. Almost invariably that pin will be picked up. An experiment of this kind was made in Chicago, in an office building, the occupants of which and their visitors should be as free from any touch of superstition as any set of men on earth. But fifteen men out of twenty who passed stooped to pick up a bright pin laid on a dark spot of the velvet carpet in the corridor. How many persons will confess to a weakness for seeing the new moon over their right shoulder unobscured by any bushy tree top? A greater number will deny the belief in the efficacy who will at the same time confess that they would rather see the moon "right." This remarkable superstition prevails in all parts of the world. Its universality almost compels belief in its potency. t# a?a waiiM loom tv?Q nnnninr nnnpr li VIic v> vuiu icaui tttv pv)/u.?. stitlons of any community he must have been reared among the people, for if a stranger were to ask for a list of superstitions prevailing in any one place it is possible no person could recall or make a list of them. They crop out under suitable circumstances and as occasion calls for their observance. Below are some of the common sayings in a community made up of descendants of Pennsylvania Dutch, who settled in the Keystone state shortly after the colony was organized: If in washing the dishes, or in cleaning the table before a meal, the cook drops a dish rag. some one is coming hungry. If the dish rag is dropped while washing the dishes after a meal, "some slut is coming, 1f she is not already there." The crowing of a rooster before the front door early in the morning foretells the visit of a stranger. If a red bird flits about the yard and chirps merrily, a young girl gayly dressed and llghthearted may be expected soon. The crowing of a rooster in the night is a sign of hasty news. Thus many a rooster, by a single crow, has cast a gloom over an entire family. The howling of a dog at night foretells some dire calamity such as a tragic death. If a dog lies on his back in the front yard with feet extended upward, some member of the family to which he belongs is sure to die soon. The screaming of a screech owl three nights in succession in or about the front yard is a sign that some one in the house is in danger of death. To cause the owl to leave, stick the shove* in the fire. The crowing of a chicken hen portends bad luck. It always results In the death of the hen without delay, for no good women would allow a crowing hen to live longer than it takes to cut off its head. In ironing a garment if the smoothing Iron is dropped the owner of the garment will never live to wear it out. Friday is an unlucky day. If a piece of work is begun on that day it will not prosper and possibly the one who begins it will not live to finish it. It probably is true that not ten women out of every hundred can be found who would as willingly start a garment on Friday as on some other day. If the individuals of a hunting party, in crossing a fence, go over the same section luck will be good, but if several sections be crossed the hunt will be a failure. If in strolling two persons go on opposite side of a tree, one or both of them will meet disappointment before the day is over. Looking at a new moon for the first time through obstructions, as through a tree top, foretells misfortunes during that moon. To see it over the right shoulder and in a clear space brings good luck. The rabbit always carries omens of ill fortune. If you meet him on going from home you may look for trouble before you return; if going toward home there will be trouble in your family. Ashes must not be taken from a fireplace in a sick room. The death of the patient would follow. Nor must the bed of a sick person be turned over. It Is actually true that this last provision is believed and actually followed In numberless homes where wealth and culture abound. No one ever saw a negro meet a corpse. The most courageous darky will go out of his way or turn back upon his path rather than encounter such a calamity. It is said that if you meet a corpse your time will come next. If the corpse Is stopped on the way to the grave another member of the family will soon follow. Kraut must be made in the dark of the moon if it is to be sour. It is the height of folly to cut a child's finger nails before it is a year old. for then It will pilfer and steal. The nails must be broken and bitten . off. Potatoes and all roots must be planted in the dark of the moon, when it is decreasing or going down in size; likewise crops that grow above ground must be planted in the light or increase of the moon. Hogs must be butchered when the moon is increasing, otherwise the meat wlil shrivel up and fry away in cooking. I A family must never move except in the light, or increase, of the moon. This will secure prosperity and increase of possessions. They will grow as the moon grows. This is another superstition that is in almost general practice in all classes of society. If a child is allowed to look in a mirror before it is a year old teething will be difficult. If a coffin containing a corpse be placed so that it is reflected in a mirror, there will be another death in that family inside a year. The tying of a small sack containing the fore feet of a ground mole assures a full set of pretty teeth. If In teething the child's gums are sore it may be cured by rubbing the gums with rabbit brains hot from the head. Both of I these remedies are too commonly practiced to excite comment among the people who observe such things. To remove a wart from the body steal a piece of bacon, rub the wart with it and then burv it under the eaves. Say nothing about this and the wart will soon disappear. The writer removed a number of warts from his own hands when a boy by doing this. A stray black cat In the back yard foretells good luck. If a woman Is making soap and a man stirs It, all will be well and the soap will be fine, but If a woman comes the soap will spoil In the making. If you sing In bed you will cry next day. If you sing before breakfast you will cry before night. If you want a cat to stay at your home, rub Its paw on the stove. To keep a new dog, measure his tall with a cornstalk and bury the latter under the front step. If you sleep with your feet toward the door you will soon be carried out a corpse. If an Infant Is puny and does not grow satisfactorily It must be measured for the "undergrowth." A pow-wow doctor, usually a woman, will strip the child, measure It with a string the same color as Its hair, say some "words." bury the string In a secret place and repeat the performance three times. The child will get well. There are dozens of children in a certain Dutch community that were measured In this way and are now pointed to as examples and proof of the efficacy of the method. In setting out fruit trees a woman must hold the tree while a man sets It and tamps the dirt about the roots. This makes It a sure bearer. This also Is practiced In numberless communities. To kill a toad will cause the cow to give bloody milk.?Scientific American. Hold Your Radium. Speculators who failed to buy radium when the market was down a year and a half ago missed the oppor tunlty of their lives to get rich. Had they purchased radium In November of 1903?only a few pounds of it? they could have become independently wealthy. A bull In radium who had been wise enough to buy an ounce for $64,000 In November. 1903, and held for July delivery In 1905, would have realized exactly $826,000 on his investment. Radium Is retailing in British markets for $890,000 an ounce, and little to be had at that price. The great Increase In the cost Is due to the fact that the Austrian government practically has cornered the world's supply of the most precious metal, and refuses to permit even a grain of It to be exported. The supplies In Great Britain, France and the United States are running low, and the poor are beginning to suffer from the scarcity of the metalMost of that which was produced In Austria and exported prior to 1903 has found Its way Into the cabinets of wealthy scientists and millionaire collectors, who are holding their mites of tne meiai as cunusmes iui putaic experiments. The price of the metal has fluctuated widely since Its first discovery. At the outset, before Austria decided to hold up the supply, the price was as low as $55,000 an ounce. In November, 1903, It was $64,000, but In the next month, owing to the Increase to the demand following the wide exploitation of the newly discovered metal, the price leaped up to $300,000 an ounce. Instead of taking to cover, the beans at once began to hammer down the price again, and In July, 1904, it was down to $150,000, at which price almost any poor man could secure a supply. Then the corner In radium was started by the Austrlans, and the price went up steadily until now it Is worth almost as much as Standard OH stock and even harder to get.?Chicago Tribune.
