THE DAILY HERALD: rLATTSM-OUTM, tHltASKA, TOESDAY, JULV 2i. 1SS8. J SUPERSTITIONS. HERITANCE FROM THE OLD WORLD NATIONALITIES. At lr-iu Are Thought to Denote. Vlio Mjntcrj of the Moon Women's Ku prratltlon liegarriiut; Cat Itrcaklng a 'Mirror C;lit ftorl". 'With tho promiscuous strains of blood that vo Americans have flowing in our viona we jave inherited the superstitions of many countries iu the oM world. Whole volumes , have itw.n printed of the English, Welsh, Scotch, French, German, Italian and llus . tiari superstitions. IVrhnps wo have one or two which lielonp; to each nationality. At all events wo have u vnri-ty. Tlio timiiiKHiist' Mijierstition repiardiri;; dreams is that to dream of gold prediet j'y; liilver, wirrnw; of living, ii journey; of light ning, marriage; of killin; erieiits, victory; of blindness, iverty; of combing the huir, sickness; of gray hair, death; of flies, ene mies; of Cupid, love, lut if lui breaks his liow, you uro to he an old maid or a widow. To dream of white flowers is a pKvl omen ; of J'ello' fliwcrs, you arc to attend a funeral. A lai'.y tells tho writer that through her wholo life ull her various afflictions have lvn foreshadowed ly dreaming of an infant. Tho "child dream," as hho calls it, fives her "warning,"' and she lupins to droop like a flower that is partly crushed while waiting for a neir l:i;t i.-m of sorrow. Perhaps Jacob's dream of the angels and tho ladder is a suiTicicTit foundation tor superstitions re garding dreams. "Dreams, idle dreams," mvs the Ioct, hut they are frequently de lightful if they are "idle." IIEGAUDINO TIIU MOOX. No woman need bo ashamed to confess that she is suptT.stitious regarding the moon, or that she d.-liU-rately turns her right shoulder toward the m-w ui'mii and takes a good look nt the ii"w silver cres--iit. The Iruids pcr formeil mysterious rites in honor of the new mo. .n, and Shakespeare calls her "the sove reign mistress of tho melancholy. " I'robably that is the foundation of calling silly git !s or lys 'I11113-." The old suicrstitioi regardius illness !ciiig cauwd by moonlight shining on tho fain of n slu-ping womau has a curious f-uspicion of truth in it. Certain school girls having heard that one of their number had 11 horror of moonlight streaming through the windows of her dormitory, stole noiselessly into her chamU-r whilo she was sleeping and pushed Imck tho curtain so as to let tho moon thino full on her face. The result of this prank was tho serious illness of the girl on w hom it was tried a malady which puzzled the physicians jn attendanco until the girls confessed their crime. The old English cus tom for young girls to address tho moon Jfew Year's cvo regarding their future part ners for life prevails to some extent among us. Tho girl says: "I pray thee, dear moon, reveal to mo who my husband will," etc., mid looks for the picture of her lx'loved that is or to le in the round silver glole. If a cloud sweejs over the disk tho girl says: "Alas! not this year, ugly moon:' .Many women aro superstitious regarding strange cats. If a cat i.s found in a new Jiouso that house is doomed for the ill luck of its c-c:;pants. Actresses aro said to be su erstitiotu regarding tho apiaranco of a cat on the stage the great Sid.lons once faint ing when a black cat walked before her dur ing a performance at Drury Lane theater. Jlost women regard tho puttiug on of a gar ment the wrong side out as a presage of bad luck. Friday is a black day to some women. They will not start upon a journey, begin a j. le,. of work, ha vo company or do any act f.'iiiArtauce. A lady of unusual culture, travel and ull opjortuuities which position and wealth can give for intelligence says she has a horror of crov'iug between the carriages of a funeral procusion, and tells her coachman never to drive across the line of a funeral cortege or l-fore a hearse in such a procession. She considers such acts, by accident or purpose, a warning of death to herself or family. EKEASIXO A LOOKING GLASS. To break a looking glass is the presage of rone terrible diisster or death in the house where it occurs. Do Copstant, the favorite valet of Bonaparte, teiU of hU rr.-tster ls?ing so agonized while in Italy over breaking a 'min or that he sent a special envoy to Faris to learu if his beloved Josephine was alive and in safety. Josephine's ill luck, it is said, began soon after this. She was as supersti tious as her famous second consort. Tingling of tho ears is a sure sign some bod v is gossiping about you; burning of the rhceks that some oae is thinking of you, and if your nose itches you are to see a stranger. Yellow spots on the nails betoken a near approach of death; white spots predict gifts. To cut the r.ails on Friday cr Sunday is aw fully unlucky. Then there is tho rindirg .sheet in tho cauJli, but if there is a spark in tho wick it betokens a Jotter of good new3. To some ppople odd number. re lucky ; to others, even numbers. Of all things a 'wraith"' is most to be lreaded iu ihovl, a gho-,t of gome one you Lave known or of yourself. lioK-rt Lalo Owen, in bis "F.xrtpriuts on the Iioundary t.f Another World," ys that the Holland family of England always soe their own re semblance as a warning of death. One of the fairest ladies of this noblu family .saw a niOt complete and perfect likeness of herself coming toward her i:i the garden.

A volume of annals of old Philadelphia contains an anccdot? of Franklin which will, wo think, be new to our readers. A few days after ho began to publish a newspaper, he commented sharply on the dishonest conduct of certain influential and wealthy town cfd-t-iaLs. Three or four of hU friend--, young mechanics like himself, anxious to rLv in the world, sharply reproved him for his impru dence, and told him that a poor man could not afford thus to make enemies. Franklin listened la silence and patience, snd when the lecture was over asked his rritics to sup with him. They came a i sat tiown, expecting a luxurious meal, such cs was common in those days among the -.veil to lo. Before each guest, however, was a bowl of mush and milk and a pitcher of water. They tried in vain to swallow the coarse fare, itching Franklin as ho emptied his bowl ' n evident relish. When he had ended he ' at is my usual supper.

Ex-L'uitrU States Minister Marnlt's Account of a Couple of Wonderful Cures. Ex-United fctates Slinister Oeorge P. Marsh's recent Ixvik chronicles a curious ex perience at Cairo. After returning from their journey to Upier Egypt Mr. Marsh and another memler of his Iarty, a Miss Puine, found themselves completely disabled by severo sprains which tho surgical skill of tho Frank doctors proved powerless to rem edy. They were assured by their dragoman thut an Arab miracle worker of his acquaint ance could cure tho sprains at once, mid tLey finally determined to call on tho inheritor of tho secrets of tho Pharaohs. 80 the drago man presented himself, "bringing with him tho most extraordinary hx-king creature that can well lo imagined. He was scarce five feet in height, and was clad in a single gar ment of cotton fastened alout tho waist with a leather belt. His old withered face was lighted up by one eye only, and that seemed but half open, while nothing ulout his jterson would have led onu to U lieve that th waters of ths broad Nile were withiu reach. There was an unmistakable look or mortification 'on tho part of those who had consented to summon the -Escrulapius, but there was no hoe for it now. "At this moment a visitor was announced to Mr. Marsh, aud tho lady, therefore, was tho first to prove tho wild man's skill. Ho ex amin"d tho Injured foot, placed it in warm water, dipjied his own fingers in olive oil and rubbed and pressed tho foot very gently for ubout twenty miuutes. He then carefully dried it and bado his iatient walk. Bho hesi tated, having suffered so much and so long from every effort of that kind, but an im perative 'Imshch, Imsheh I' decided her. She placed her foot firmly on tho floor and took a stei another, and another, and still no pain. In a few minutes she was on tho street, andufter strolling some hours among the bazars of tho city returned without the least feeling of discomfort. The cure was perfect and i-i-inaiient." Meanwhile, Mr. Marsh received equally con vincing proof of thoiowers of the Arabian physician. "His foot and ankle, which were both badly swollen and discolored, were very sensitive to the manipulation, and especially to tho energetic pulling, which in his case was a part of the treatment, ami at tho end of three-quarters of an hour ho was well nigh exhausted by pain. But then, on looking at his foot, ho was surprised to find that the swelling had disapieared, the color was almost en tirely natural, and tho shoe and stocking which had been laid aside almost two weeks were put on with perfect ease. Ho was then directed to walk, which to his amazement he found he could do without the least pain, and tho only unpleasant sensation experienced afterward was a slight stiffness for the first day or two, which, however, did not in tho least interfere with walking." Detroit Free Press. I'.athing and Swimming Suits. A preferred style in bathing suits affects tho blouse waist with a yoke, which conceals tho figure and has a pleasing effect. Short sleeves aro now generally liked, as they leave the aruis of the swimmer free; tho drawers loose nt tho knee are preferred to the closed Turkish drawers, and they must be sewed permanently to tho belt of the blouse, or else very securely buttoned there. The drawers are made long enough to full just below tho knees, and tho skirt should be sufficiently long to conceal the drawers. The blouse is completed by a sailor collar, or else the deep collar is round iu the back, though pointed in front iu sailor fashion. Striped skirts are much used with plain suits that have also a striped collar. Albutross flannel of the heavy grades 3-et not closely woven is chosen for bathing suits ; it should lo well shrunken be fore tho garments are cut out. Elastic jersey wool bathing suits are in great favor, and are in dark colors, such as plain navy blue, or blue with white cross stripes, also garnet or gray, and aro very pretty in white wool, with red or bluo stripes. These have thtfyoko waist and drawers cut together in Iriuccsse fashion, with a skirt belted over them; there are other jersey suits, with the blouse and skirt in one piece. Hercules braid and the oien woven wool braids trim flannel and serge suits. Inconspicuous suits of dark gray flannel have either black or blue bruid for trimiuiug. A fisherman's cap with tas stled crown is made of jersey wool for bath ers. Other bathing cais of oil rubber have a puff crown drawn up, with a narrow frill iu front to cover its bong, and a deeper frill behind to protect the back of the neck. HaU of gossamer or of oiled silk have a large full crown, ;md a brim with wire in the c-dgethat can be drawn down over the ears, while the head goes in the crown. SiJk handkerchiefs of navy bluo or of bandanna red are worn tround the head to protect the hair, and are knotted about the ucck Jnsailor fashion. Harper's Bazar. irartli Worms Cttaslnff Trichina. It is a not uncommon occurrence that a parasite inhabits different animals at differ ent stages of its growth. This is tho case with tho small thread worm, Syn gamue tracheahs, which infests the windpipo of tho pheasant, peacock, turkey, duck and other fowls, aud often occasions considerable dam age. Mr. Walker, of Franklin ville, N. Y., has recently made some investigations ca this subject. Ho flnds that the intermediate host of the embryo syngamus is the common earth worm, w hich in places visited by birds has been found to be beset with these para sites. They arc swallowed by tho birds along with the worms, and perforating the oesoph agus, fmd their way into tho respiratory or gans. During, or Immediately after, thi migration the syngamus attains sexual ma turity and attaches itself to the trachea. This h.ipjcus in six or seven days after it has been swallowed. .In seven days more its eggs are produced, which are coached Tip by the bird and reach tho ground, where the eiabrvo cmerses iu about three weeks. It is swallowed by a worm and remains in its in test inal canal until doVoured by a bird. The best method to check this disease is to moist en the soil with brine, which kills both the worms avA the embryo syugami which they contain. Birds which have died pf this dis asc should bo destroyed by fire. New York Star. . . A Tord Abaut Gloves. The fit of a glove depends greatly on the manner la which tie glovo is put on for the first time. The wrist portion should be turned over one inch below tho opening be fore being drawn on the Land, aud the fln-rei-s put on straight, and then carefully, with patient pressuro ci the thumbs and fin gers of tho right baud, each must be well pressed down to the very points. Twisted lingers ruin gloves. The specialty called Eeaver .antwieb are drawn into the wrist, and flow out into a gauntlet over the sleeve. They are delight ful to touch and comfortable to wear. There are several varieties of driv iug and riding gloves; chamois gloves for seaside wear, and a better and more reliable kind than th usual make.

J" ' CHAPTER ON DEAFNESS. THE EAR A MOST INTRICATE AND WONDERFUL STRUCTURE. Throat Deafness aud IU Treatment. Other Varieties of Complaint Sinking in the Ean The Deaf Colonel An Knj; Kllah Physician's Suggestions. It would take a much longer paper than I have space to write to describe the anatomy of the ear and the pathology of the different kinds of deafness. It is a most intricate structure, fearfully and wonderfully made, and consisting of tubes external and internal, a drum, muscles, nerves and bones of its own, all lying insldo one of tho hardest and strongest bones of tho human body. This Litter was sjKX-ially designed by nature to shield it from blows. It is supplied with air by a long t ube called tho eustachian, opening into tho back part of the throat. This tube I mention specially to account for tho fact of pcoplo liecoming deaf through bad colds or swelling rtf tho tousils. Observe t hat U10 ear must le supplied with air, or hearing becomes an imixssibility. You hear this air crackling in tho car when you go through the process of swallowing tho saliva. Well, if it is closed by tho products of in flammation, or if it bo thut up as to its mouth by tho pressure of a swollen tonsil, it is obvious enough partial or complete deaf ness will be tho result for tho timo being. This is sometimes called throat deafness, and, Iiko every other form of tho complaint, requires special treatment. It is, perhaps, ono of tho commonest, if not tho commonest kind. If caused by the pressure of tho tonsils it is merely mechanical, and tho remedy Is removal of tho cause. When, however, it is caused by tho extension of inflammation of mucous membrane during a cold, it may or may not depart with tho cold. It would then have to bo seen to surgically, and the passing of a catheter might be necessary, a simple but delicate operation which only a professional mun could lo trusted to perform. VARIOUS KINDS OF DEAFNESS. Another very common ?;pecies of deafness is that caused by obstruction of tho exteruai tube of the ear with tax, which may bo dis solved out or syriuged out by a practiced hand, when tho euro would bo complete. If the drum of the car be eaten through by ul ceration, no permanent cure is of course to be expected, but a visit to a clever aurist may send the patient homo rejoicing never theless. There are inflammations of various other portions of the ear which I need not mention, all of which cause deafness. There is also a kind of deafness caused by paralysis of tho nerves which carry tho impression to tho braiu from tho ear. Many forms of tho complaint are accom panied, especially at the outset, by disagree able noises in tho organ, or apparently in that part of tho brain adjoining. It is as if one were actually listening to the rush of the blood through the vessels of the brain. I am not sure that it is not so, and that one cannot even judge of tho state of his circulation by these sounds alone. Both this same singing in tho ears may occur in those who are not deaf, and if it continues long it is well to con sult your physician, especially if you be fat and plethoric, for it way be an early symi toui of apoplexy, or Wtiat is called "a stroke." We often hear one friend say to another: "You're very deaf today," and perhaps the reply is: "Well, I am a bit deaf today; I vary with the weather." This is a species of deafness common in tuo nervous, anu reauy arises from debility, consequent perhaps upon some temporary derangement of the digestive organs. People subject hereto should livo carefully and abstemiously. They should try to live so as to be independent of the use of drugs. HEARING IMPROVED BY NOISE. I have heard it said that the deaf hear bet ter when an;.- noiso is going on, probably bo cause then other people are talking loudest. I really believe that is the true reason. But my grandfather used to relate an instance pf the deaf colonel of a regiment; who was so convinced of the truth of this opinion that whenever ho had to converse on parade with any of his men or oilicers, ho used to have the drummer to boat up close along side. There is ono affection of the car which is of a very disagreeable kind, and which must mention while I ttunic 01 it running from the ear. If the exuding matter were non offensive it would be bad enough, but from being mingled, I suppose, -with the se cretion of wax it is fetid. The most simple form is that occurring in children of a strumous diathesis, where it proceeds simply from tha outer canal of tho ear. It is not theu dangerous in itself, aud is remediable by great attention to health and injections of an astringent and disinfectant nature ap plied by means of a little syringe. And now what have I to say about the treatment of deafness? Very little, I fear. Wcro I talking to students it would be differ ent, but the car is such a delicate organ that in nine cases out of ten meddlesome domestic surgery makes matters worse. Each case must be treated on its own merits, and the sooner the better simple cases by your own medical adviser, the.moro difficult by those men who make the ear a specialty. But as prevention Is better than cure, I may mention that no ono should expose hia ears to draughts, especially blizzards; that the less interference with the ear at all timw the letter; for examp-e, picking the ear, or poking pins or penholders in it, does not con duce to contemplation; that wearing cotton or wool in the ears is a stupid and dangerous practice, and more likely to induce cold than prevent it; that scrubbing the ear out in the morning with the corner of the towel is bad practice: and finally, that boxing a child on the ear may lead to permanent deafness. Family Doctor in Cassell's Magazine. Charles Reade's Literary Methods, Charles Iteado wrote much and well. Ha rose at 8 o'clock, took breakfast at 9, and at 10 commenced his literary work, which usually lasted until ft in tho aftevnoou. He wrote iu bis drawing room, and when tb French windows were closed no sounds from the street could be heard. When once fairly on the way with a novel he worked with rapidity. He wrote with a iarge pen, -with very black ink, on large sheets of drab col ored paper. Each 6heet was numbered as written and thrown on the floor, which, after a few hours' writing, was completely covered. A maid servant gathered up the manuscript, which, after being put in order, was sent to a copyist, who made, n a rGund band, a clear copy. Mr. Reade then went carefully over it, making improvements by omissions and additions. The revised sheets were once more copied for the printer. He seldom dictated a story, but had not any objection to the company of a friend in his room when busy with his pen. He would sometimes relieve the monotony of his work by watching a game of tennis on his lawn, or the gambols of hia tame hares, or the traffic passing in the street, at the bottom of his garden. Mr. Reade did not take any lunch; he dined late and generally finished the day with a visit to the theatre. "William Andrews in Home JournaL HERO AND LEANDER.

Thomas Stevens. Hints in Literary Composition. In answer to a correspondent, Mr. Thilip G. Ilamerton detailed particulai-s of his method of work. Said Mr. Ilamerton in his interesting letter: "I think that there are two main quulitics to be kept in view in literary composition frankness and liuish. The best way, in my opinion, of attaining both is to aim at freshness in the rough draft, with little regard to perfection of expression; the llnish can bo given by copious subsequent correction, even to the extent of writing 811 over again when there i.s timo. Whenever possible, I would assimilate literary to pic torial execution by treating tho rough draft as a rapid and vigorous sketch, without any regard to delicacy of workmanship; then I would write from this a second work, retain ing as much as jiossiblo thu freshness of the first, but correcting the oversights and errors which are duo to rapidity." Home Journal. Dollar Hunters Ie-titnte of Humor. Certain pursuits, certain habits of mind fend to repress, and finally eradicate humor. Among these, notably, us has been indicated, is tho steady pursuit of wealth for wealth's sake. Any number of rich men may bo pos sessed of humor; but you almost never find a man whose constautaim is to get money that hasavestigo of the happy quality. He may have hail i fair fund of it in tho beginning; but tho concentration of his entire thought and feeling in one direction, and thut direc tion sordidt must ere long extinguish humor by drying up its springs. To bo a humorist, ono must bo accessible to ideas, must give hospitality to surrounding influences, must be related to the whole world- And when one is absorbed in peuuniosity, is shut away from all the better, more wholesome emana tions of life, it is impossible to feel the faint est throb of humor.
