Aht misfortune u | ~ land Mununics that i ? 1, {4us Possession* In Marion withl ti.W j i")' curiosities left apent ThursdayJ Meux is an KgypMlss Grace Sch is said to have friends in MeO to every one who Muldmw ^}rnr il is that nt tho hA sliced in the past can at the home f work harm ^hru the Dr. and Mtcr of opinion. Hut have been Uind the strange facts Thursday. 5th them are too uuraM(a? |?? altogether neglected. Thn Jnstance the case of the l>, it, /ptian coffin lid numbered J which stands in the Britis L. useum, and the remarkable taoife of misfortune and death muicu ra? oeen associated with this pictured face of the priests of the College of Amen-Ra. Tne story is fairly well known, top two years ago all the daily papers were full of it. It is sufficient V> say that from the time of the discovery of the coffin in 18 89 the priestess seemed to bring misfortune on every one who had anything to do with her coffin. \ All five of the original finders came to grief, and even the carrier who took the case to the museum, the nhotographer who photographed it and the well known writer , who described the event connected with it died shortly afterward. * Then there was the case of Mr. George Alefounder, who having discovered a mummy too large to vu.ivuuienny carry away, deliberately Deheaded it and brought the head back to Europe in a bonnet box. Then everything went wrong with him. Misfortune piled upon misfortune. One day he chanced to meet a medium. The latter at once told him that lie could see a figure with high cliffs behind it. The figure, he said was headless. As it happened, Mr. Alefounder had at the time forgotten all about the mummy head. Now he remembered it and. being much startled consulted another medium. From her he heard precisely the same story. This was enough. He sent the head back at once to its original resting place. The late Shah of Persia owned a dagger which Is said to make its possessor invincible. But as the superstition Is that he who uses it shall inevitably perish by it, it is kept securely locked in a sandalwood. A curious parallel to this Per/ sion dagger Is vouched for by C. W. Leadbeater. A certain English family owns a stllletto which inspires every one who holds it with a horrible and almost irresistable desire to kill some woman. This weapon belonged to an ancestor whose wife deceived him and drove him mad. He swore revenge against the whole sex, and with the dagger killed his wife, his wife's sister and another woman before he was disarmed and secured. In the summer of 1906 M. Andreef, a well known business man of St. Petersburg bought at auction for 2,000 pounds a beautiful old necklace made about 120 years ago by a famous Parisian jeweler for the ill fated L/ouis XVI. Nearly all the members of the French royal family lost their lives in the Revolution, but the necklace was taken by a survivor to Brussels and there sold. Over and over again it changed hands and every one who owned it was unlucky. Finally a Russian Prince bought it for 4,000 pounds and ? gave it to the danzer Tzukki. Tzukki's health failed, she was reduced to abject poverty and died. The necklace was sold to M. Linevitch, the collector. He died suddenly at Monte Carlo and it passed to a relatives, who lost all his money and was only saved from baggary by selling the piece of jewelry. s naiocr boueht it and almost the first time his wife wore it he fell into a fit of senseless jealousy and cut her down with a sword. Such incidents may be multiplied. Count Zborowski when killed in a fearful motor accident at Nice in 1903 was wearing the fatal ring which had belonged to his family for fourteen generations, every head of which had met a violent death. Still more amazing is a story told by the late head of the Paris Morgue. Five times within his experience dead bodies brought to the morgue were found to be wearing a certain ring distinguishable by its strange design. It bore in Eastern characters this legend: "May whosoever wears this ring die a miserable death." M. Mace, the chief of the Parlspolice, ^ vouches for the truth of thiB. The Printers' Unique Distinction. The interesting statistical fact was recently developed that among the 1,200 or more convictfa of the Virginia penitentiary there is not among them a printer. It seems that the editor of a weekly newspaper, recently wrote to Governor Mann, making inquiry on the subject with a view to giving the man employment, the governor sought information at the penitentiary with the result that not a printer could be found among the felons in striped garb. It might be asserted that this is ji mere curious accident inasmuch as there have recently been preachers, lawyers, physicians and men of every avocation among the large criminal class and perhaps the condition is unique. There is ^greason, however, why the printers^fcte not criminals: In the first placet the trade or art is one in which jfcnnn need rarely remain long unemployed. The demands for printers is still great, even since the invention of several typesetting raa chines. The hand compositors cannot he dispensed with yet and there is scope for much taste and Judgment in the business of hand composition.. In the first place the printer is seldom a loafer. If he loafs or sprees for a time he goes back to work again. Another reason for this Immunity from crimnallty is the fact that the printer who has ! i been at the business for any lengin of time is usually intelligent ind well informed. Not a few men have acquired practically rll the education they have at thj case. They think as they work and read, j Indeed, no man will become a competent printer who does not soon begin to understand what he reads Generally the ability to speak and write correctly and fluently comes to the man who stands all day picking up type and aligning them in a "stick." Life would be a dreary monotony to him if he did not comprehend what lie is putting in type. Intelligence, education and employment are antipathetic to crime, just as ignorance and idleness are contributory to it. All honor to the calling whose thousands have no representative in the felon class. May the avocation maintain its present avocation maintain its present high standard and prove an example to future apprentices to maintain the ethics of the "art pre ui an ine arcs.' I?rinville Register. A IMIIAKI.K ON IU?\S. How tl?o Youth ol' (lie liiiiul is Itoing thought l|i. Verily in this day and generation, ; the father raiseth up his son on the streets and sidewalks. He layeth around the soda fountain and imbribeth slop and hookworms. He groweth in knowledge of nothing save save cigarettes and cuss words. When he attaineth the age of 1C, he acquiretli a suit of clothes turned up at the bottom two furlongs above his feet. He displayeth a pair of noisy sox, with purple background and violets to the front. He weareth lowcut shoes and a green tie. He looketh like a banana merchant on the streets of , Cairo The inside of his head resembleth the inside of a pumpkin. He falleth in love with a spindle thanked girl with pink ribbons in her hair, and he cravetli for an j automobile that he may ride her forth in springtime. He thinketh i work is sinful. He scattereth his mother's pin money like a cyclone scattereth a rail fence. He sittetli | up at night to write poetry and giveth no thought to to the multiplication table. His mind turneth to the vanities of life, and not to the high cost of cornbread. Verily, verily! he needeth a board applied vigorously to the southwest corner nf hio ?>not.r\mv He thinketh his father a plodder and his mother a back number. He pictured to himself great riches suddenly acquired. He dreametli of steam yachts and private cars. Yes. he thinketh himself the real stuff. He butteth in where he is not wanted; lie criticisetli his elders; he purcliaseth cheap perfume and smelleth louder than a uilly goat. When he growetli up lie getteth a job as clerk in a store at $1 a day and swipeth extra f-oni his boss until he is caught. What a War tVists. It cost 11.0 0 0 every time a thirteen inch gun is fired. A battleship in war carries eight hundred projectiles, two thousand medium and ten thousand small eallibre. and the cost of firing them would exceed a million and a half dollars. Europe's twenty-five hundred ships in battle would burn two billion dollars worth of ammunition. The fighting ships to be employed by European powers in case of war would extend, if placed end to end, 'for a distance of one hundred and | fifty miles, in case of war Europe will put 40.000,000 men into the field, It would take eleven weeks, | four hours and thirty minutes for a ! fighting force of this size to pass a certain point. Ships in the United States Navy are given target practice every few months and these , ii~9is cost up in the thousands. At several of the recent target tests, 1 old war vessels were used as target, their destruction being the object of the gunners. Many of | the smaller guns made at the navy yard in Washington. D. C., are tested at great expense at Indian J Head, down the Potomac river sevi eral miles from the capital. Special 1 targets are manufactured for these ! tests. Iiocust Causes Deaths. Eating blackberries caused the death of four negroes in Lancaster county two weeks ago and a dispatch in The Daily Mail yesterday afternoon says that four negroes died in Newberry county yesterday from the same cause. A Lancaster | county physician made an investigation into the deaths of the nel groes in that county, and he came to the conclusion that the seventeen year locust had been 011 the blackberries, and that they had left their poison on the berries. ?
