Superstitions in New York. E
That superstitions brought from r

to testify. t
If a child is suffering from diffi- v
culty in breathing as a result of en- b
larged tonsils or adenoids, the parents J
will sometimes tell the health inspec- i;
tors that as God put the adenoids

body they should not be removed.
v and that to do so would not only
make the child's throat too wide, aln
lowing the air to rush into the lungs
and thereby causing inflamation of x
t<
the chest, but that the power of
speech would be seriouslV interfer- P

m Again, when it is discovered that
. a child is suffering from defects of
the teeth the representative of the
o
department of health are sometimes .
told that to pull teeth gives children j
sore eyes, while it is bad luck for ^
any poor child to have gold or silver
placed in its mouth, as may be ^iec- ^
essary in treating bad teeth. In one ^
case the mother of the child concerned
showed her toothless mouth and
c
said: "I have no teeth, yet I'm still
alive." E
A suggestion that a child's hair be h
cut brings the reply that to do so Q
might retard the growth of the child
and also lessen his strength.
In the case of defective vision, if
i the parents are advised to permit the
child to be fitted for eyeglasses the ^
H ' retort is frequently made that eye- ^
n glasses are a luxury, tnat tney aaa f
S| % age to the child's appearance, and
K that if the child becomes accustomed t
H to wearing glasses his eyes will grow t
B weaker. In the case of a girl, it is t
BB believed that the wearing of eye- t
EK glasses will interfere with her
chances for marrying.
Among some parents the belief ex- 0
BBS ists that the evil eye may be warded a
BB off by tlle mother licking the child's j
R^^^^ks and face, or by sewing salt in ^
ffiBBe part of the child's clothing, or

ulled down and the city is to have
n adequate water supply.
The rapidity with which Jerusalem <
> extending, through the return of ]
lie Jews in such large numbers to '
he city of their forefathers, has 1
endered these improvements neces- (
ary. Indeed, to the north and west 1
f the old city there have sprung up 1
rithin the last decade large Jewish '
olonies, populous residential sec- '
ions, as well as convents, hospices,
istitutions, schools and other buildngs,
with the result that today
here is a greater Jerusalem without
he walls than within.
Four separate tramway routes are
a be laid down. They will all start
rom the Jaffa Gate, the principal
ntrance into the city, and run out- 1
ide the city walls through the newer
arts of Jerusalem. The first, which 1
rill have a length of about two miles,
rill give easy access to what may be
ermed the business quarter of the '
loly City, while the second, of simiar
length, will link up the large
ewish colonies to the north with the

rill encircle the old city, embracing
lany of its most historic sites, such
s Gordon's Calvary, believed by
lany scholars to have been the '
cene of the Crucifixion; the Tomb of
he Kings, the Mount of Olives and
he Valley of Jehoshaphat.
The fourth line will run from the
affa Gate to Bethlehem, some six
iiiles distant, traversing what is periaps
the most sacred thoroughfare
a the world. It teems with reputed
oly places?sacred wells, tombs,
nd convents. The work of laying
he rails is to begin next April, and
ccording -to the terms of the conces- '
ion the syndicate has power to exend
the lines in any direction for a
istance of some 25 miles.
The city walls, which have a cirumference
of about three miles and
ise in places to a height of 3S 1-2 '
eet, are now being offered by the '
overnment for sale as building maerial.
It is expected, however, that
fforts will be made to save isolated
ections, more particularly the masive
towers Indeed, influential citzens
of Jerusalem have formed a soiety
and are approaching the govrnment
with a view to preserving
)avid's Tower, which they propose to
onvert into a museum.
Of late years Jerusalem has sufered
greatly from the want of fresh
?*ater. With the exception of a small
uantifv brought into the city from
he ancient pools of Solomon, near
lethlehem, by means of a pipe, which
uns along the old aqueduct, the Holy
!ity is entirely dependent for its wagr
upon the rainfall. Now reservoirs
re to be built in the upper part of
he valley of the Brook Cherith,
- here the water will be stored and
rought into the city as required,
erusalem is gradually being westernzed.
Economical to Keep Furniture in Repair.
These are the days when the ecoomical
housewife begins to look
ver the furniture around the house
o find out just what pieces need reairing
and which ones are in good
hough condition to last another winer.
It is always a wise plan to touch
p furniture, either in the way of ,
iling or varnishing, just as soon as
h howins tn look the least bit shabby.
n this way everything around a ,
louse may be kept in perfect condiion
and much money saved, for to
et every piece of furniture run down
intil it looks about to fall to pieces
s no real economy and shows a deidedly
careless housekeeper.
It often takes three times as much
ooney to fix over furniture which
ias been allowed to get into this state
>f disrepute as it does to have each
iece repaired as it begins to showhe
wear of years.
Often, too, with a few cents' worth
if varnish or oil the housekeeper can
lo all the touching up that is re[uired.
The real wood of the various
urniture sets around the house
hould never be varnished with anvhing
which will destroy the grain of
he wood from sight. Walnut furniure,
for instance, should be oiled, as
he beauty of this wood lies in its
mooth, waxlike appearance.
A certain kind of wax may be used
tlso for polishing walnut or mahogtny
tables. Mahogany furniture,
lowever, looks best when polished

Spartanburg, April 7.?William
P. Young, for nearly a quarter of a
"entury assistant postmaster here,
low special agent of the parcel post,
with headquarters at Washington, is
n Spartanburg for a brief visit.
Mr. Young yesterday declined a
government position paying S3,400
i year, with the probability of an
jarly increase. The job was that of
postmaster at Honolulu, Hawaii Islands,
which was tendered him last
week by First Assistant Postmaster
General Daniel C. Roper, with the
request that he give the matter careful
consideration. Mr. Young finally
made Xip his mind yesterday that

WORK OF GROWN* FOLKS. I
Moving Picture Making Often Requires
Nerve and Courage.
One outcome of the modern demand
for realism in cinema pictures
is the advent of the heroic camera
man?a type of man who takes enormous
risks in order to obtain unusual
films for his employer. Only
at the end of January a Mr. Fritz
Schindler, a member of Mr. Paul
Rainey's cinematograph expedition,
was mauled by a lion he was trying
to photograph. He died from his
injuries, but luckily such accidents
are rare.
Many people have heard of the
daring of Mr. Frederick Burlingham,
who made a hazardous descent into
the belching depths of Vesuvius in
Drder to obtain film pictures1 for a
well-known London company. He
penetrated into the crater's mouth
to a depth of over 1,000 feet, where
his position was most perilous, for
any moment the lava floor might
have caved in and thrown him into
the boiling lava below, which crackled
and seethed with the clamor of
a dozen blast furnaces.
Another daring camera man, whose
feats are worthy of being classed
with those of Mr. Burlingham, is an
Englishman, with the very un-English
name of Sintzenish. In pursuit
of startling film pictures, he has had
as many adventures as Don Quixote
himself.
In order to supply unique scenic
pictures among the Canadian Rockies,
he obtained permission to strap
himself to the cowcatcher of an express,
and while traveling at some
60 miles an hour he industriously I
filmed the passing panorama. As
the temperature was some degrees
below zero, the unfortunate camera
man was almost frozen stiff as a
board during his journey, and it was .
no rare occurrence for icicles to
gather quickly on his camera and
clothes.
On another occasion Sintzenish
while endeavoring to obtain wild \
game pictures, became lost in the
forest and fell a victim to malaria.
While convalescent he endeavored
to develop some films in an out-of~
y>o ti-oo etiin? hi* a riy
IliC" v> a> xxv> *?uu ? ?? .
inch scorpion, which had curled up
in his towei.
As a- result his whole system became
affected, and his mouth and
tongue swelled to so large a size that
he was literally dumb for several
days. But Mr. Sintzenish's sufferings
were not in vain, and he sue- .
ceeded in obtaining some extraordinary
film pictures, >which will undoubtedly
cause a sensation when
they are screened."
For the purpose of obtaining pic- *
tures of inaccessible parts of Snowden,
under the cloak of winter, a ^
camera man. in company with A. W.
Cherry, the well-known mountaineer,
and a lady climber, are to s^end ]
several days and nights climbfcig ?
round this picturesque peak.
The arrangements include the \
swinging of the camera operator over c
the "Devil's Kitchen," a fearful s
cavity that lies between yawning
precipices. The general route up the
mountain will be avoided, and as far
as possible a perpendicular ascent ?
will be made, in^ order that the outof-way
views may be obtained.
But heroism does not always re- ]
suit in money-making films. i
Another camera man, not long 1
back, visited Columbia for the purpose
of filming a forest fire, but after (
waiting some weeks for such an c
event he determined to produce one 1
himself. j
Negotiations being finished, the ]
plans were arranged for the fire to i
take place and some hundred men *
and pack horses were pressed into J
service to provide the necessary
realism. But at the last moment a
snowstorm of unusual severity
swept the scene of operation and
ruined the whole plan.?Outing. *
^ c
Saturday a whole carload of bananas
were sold in Bamberg. A gen- c
f
tleman had a car of this tropical fruit
side-tracked here, and announced the
sale. He could not sell them fast "
enough to please the would-be buy- (
ers, and the entire carload was sold (
in a few minutes. 1
