Defying Supers! It ion.
Thirteen Philadelphia young men have
banned themselves together, if rumors
are true, in what timid superstitious ones
will call a suicide club. This Club of
Thirteen, as its name hints, has been or
ganized in contempt of almost all known
Xopular superstitions. The club meet
ings occur on Friday evenings, and
on the 13th of the month, in room 13
of a house numbered 13. The fiery
headed member is the first to enter the
hall, and all pass under a ladder raised
in the room. On taking his seat the
president opens an umbrella handed hi in
by the cross eyed janitor, and sits under
it during the session. The sergeaut-at-arms
opens the proceedings by breaking
a looking glass.
A skeleton sits opposite the president
at all feasts and two black cats stalk
around the room. The walls are adorned
with peacock feathers. Every member
is under solemn oath always to spill salt,
look at the moon over his left shoulder,
stumble whenever alighting from a jour
ney, walk between couples on the street
and when together pass on either side of
a post. They are eager just now to pur
chase a raven and rent a haunted house
to hold their meetings in. Philadelphia
Record.
A Thief la Disguise.
A miner operating on Sabe creek.Idaho,
for some , time past has missed a great
deal of amalgam from his sluice boxes.
He determined to keep watch for the
thief, and several nights ago he saw a
calf nibbling grass near the boxes, often
reaching over the rim and drinking the
water that flowed over the riffler. He,
however, paid no attention to the ani
mal. The theft of amalgam still con
tinued, and a few nights ago, when the
calf appeared, he shot it. He ran to
where the calf was lying and saw a hu
man leg, with the foot wrapped in sacks,
protruding from the animal's stomach.
It took him but a second to realize that
he had shot the thief, who had been
cleverly disguised as a calf. The miner
took the culprit to camp, and, much to
his surprise, he discovered that the thie."
was a young woman. Exchange.

Death Snperstltlons.
Death superstitions are rife in the
West Indies. . To the people there every
thing out of the ordinary is a "sign."
In Cuba a person with a sore or wound
of any kind will not look uion a dead
person, f eariiig That the spot will be
come incurable. The rum used in wash
ing a dead body is,. however, regarded
as a sure cure for all eye troubles. If
the light from a candle or lamp falls on
the face of the dead, death will shortly
come to him or her who was carrying
the light. St." Louis Globe-Democrat.
Aoout to Sue.
A man who leta out dress suits at twe
dollars per night threatens to go into
court and sue for $792 for the use of a suit
that couldn't have cost more than twenty
dollars in the first instance.
This is how it happened. A member
of an arctic expedition, encamped just
now, or supposed to be, somewhere with
in gunshot of the north pole, was ten
dered a reception by some friends on the
night before his departure. He secured
a pair of patent leather shoes, a clean
shirt and a satin necktie from some
where or other, but the dress suit he
hired from the agent referred to.
Next morning the explorer's mother
packed the suit in his Saratoga trunk,
not knowing that it wasn't his, and he
took it up to the north pole with him.
It has been used doubtless at the prin
cipal blubber feeds and walrus hunts to
impress the natives.
But the dress suit loaner wants two
dollars a day for every day he has been
deprived of the use of the clothes, and
by the time the explorer gets back the
bill will be $792, thirteen months being
the length of his absence. A deep legal
question will doubtless arise, but the
agent is firm and says that he means to
jet his rights. New York Herald.
A Duel Nipped In the Hud.
A duel between two young men has
been nipped in the bud at Buena Vista,
Va., by Mayor White. Mr. J. G. Seay
sent a challenge to fight a duel to Mr.
Edmund Randolph. Young Randolph
paid no attention to the challenge and a
second challenge was sent by Seay.
Young Randolph referred the corre
spondence to his friend, Mr. R. B. Wil
liamson, and before any details could be
arranged the police arrested Seay. who
was carried before the mayor and bailed
to appear at the next term of the cor
poration court. Young Seay is abouj
twenty years of age and was educated
at the Virginia Military institute. Mr
Randolph, who is about twenty-ene, is
teller in the First National bank.
Both young men are highly connected
and respected. The difficulty was caused
by a misunderstanding between the
young men as to an engagement, Seay
claiming that Randolph purposely avoid
ed him and thus treated him disrespect
fully. No further trouble is apprehend

An Ancient Tragedy.
Students of natural history are much
Interested in the recent discovery in
New Zealand of an extensive deiosit of
the remains of the gigantic extinct birds
called nioas.
The discovery was made in plowing
through a slight depression in a field
where a bog containing several springs
had evidently once existed. Here, buried
in a deposit of ieat, at depths of three
or four feet, the skeletons of 800 or 900
moas were found packed and inter
twined together in a 'remarkable man
ner. It was evident that these great birds,
which were much larger than the mod
ern ostrich, varying in height from ten
to fourteen feet, had perished there by
wholesale. An enormous quantity of
smooth quartz pebbles, which they hud
carried in their orops, was found with
the skeletons. There were also found
the remains of extinct species of other
large birds.
Various explanations have been sug
gested to account for the destruction of
such an army of powerful birds. One
theory is that they were overwhelmed
by a great storm, and that their remains
were heaped together by the combined
action of wind and water.
What renders the question still more
puzzling is the fact that collections of
moa skeletons, mingled with those of
other giant birds, have been found in
similar situations elsewhere in New Zea
land. Students of geology are aware that
evidence is sometimes found in the rocks
of the sudden destruction of great num
bers of animals that formerly existed on
the earth, and the resemblance of such
cases to this of the New Zealand moas
is interesting. Youth's Companion.

Oiling a Highwayman.
There used to be and may be yet
on the Las Cruces division of the Santa
Fe railway an engineer known as "Big
Jack Long." One night Jack was alone
at his engine, oiling up the machine,
while the rest of his crew, like the pas
sengers, were at supper in the dingy
eating house. The train was a long one,
and the engine was well away from the
little cluster of buildings. Suddeulv
Throw up your hands!" was growled
at him, and Jack found himself looking
into a gun in the hands of a hard look
ing citizen.
The fellow . demanded money, and
Jack began to argue, protesting that he
had but a dollar in his pockets, and that
to take that were a cruelty, since it war
meant to pay for his supper. Yes, the
marauder was determined to have the
sack, even if it had but a single dollar.
During the discussion Jack slipped his
hand from bulb to nozzle of the long
machinist's oiler and edged around the
head of the locomotive, finally backing
across the track, closely followed by the
temporizing holder up.
When the nan was so well into the
glare of the headlight as to guide Jack's
address, this worthy promptly laid over
his head with the heavy oiler for a
bludgeon, and when the victim's j-ells
had drawn forth the supping contin
gent, Jack had beaten his assailant al
most senseless and stood, weapon in
hand, looking down at him and saying
grimly, "Well! I guess I've got you so
well oiled up that you won't 'run bot'
again for one while 1" San Francisco

American Pie Vindicated.
The American pie has triumphed.
There was a time when pie was in dis
grace. It was considered an indigesti
ble and inexcusable culinary concoction.
In England, where it was almost tanta
mount to misprision of treason to sug
gest that plum pudding is too rich to be
healthful, pie except perhaps mince
pie, which is as rich and dubious as
plum pudding was tabooed. But, like
the oppressed of all nations, it found
shelter in America. There were New
England housewives who made pies
which were delicious and comforting to
the inner man, and the pumpkin pie be
came associated with the festival of
Thanksgiving in a manner altogether
honorable to those who were responsible
for "making and uttering" it.
Then arose the great American philos
opher, Emerson, the most essentially
classic type of ' man who has flourished
in this western world, and Emerson ate
pie three times a day. Dr. Johnson used
to say that "the man who drinks beer
thinks beer." Ralph Waldo Emerson
ate pie and thought philosophy. The
American pie was vindicated. Milwau

Kxtirnating Tattoo Marks.
The method proposed by M. Variot, a
French authority, for extirpating tattoo
marks has been widely described and
approved, the initial proceeding being
simply to wash the part with a concen
trated solution of tannic acid, then
closely puncturing it with a set of nee
dles, such as tattooers use; following
this, a crayon of nitrate of silver is
thoroughly rubbed over the area, and
after a moment the skin is dried off, al
which stage it is found that the punc
tures have become deeply blackened by
the formation of the tannate of silver in
the superficial layers of the skin.
The cauterization is said to result in
au inflammatory reaction for a couple
of days, and subsequently in the forma
tion of a crust of thin eschar, which sep
arates siontaneously in from fourteen
to eighteen days, leaving beneath it a
! superficial red cicatrix, which gradually
loses its color, and at the end of a few
months is scarely perceptible. Only a
small area is to be treated at one time.
Tand powdered tannin is the simple
j dressing to bo employed. New York

a distance of 1,300 miles, in the cowhide

Waiting for the Funeral to Pass.
The passengers on one of the traction
cable cars fumed the other day when
the gripman stopped the car to wait for
the passing of a funeral. It took ten
minutes for the last carriage to roll by,
for it was an unusually long procession.
As they slowly rolled past, two of those
in the car gave vent to feelings in some
such manner as this: "Did you ever see
such foolishness?" "No, not foolishness,
but superstition!" "Do you think so?"
"Pshaw, can't you see by that gripman's
face that he is superstitious? What else
can you expect from him?" "He does
look superstitious, doesn't he?" At tins
point the conductor broke in, "It's not

Arizona's Great .irrigation vsua.
Yuma's great canal is the most gigantic
irrigation enterprise as yet taken in hand
in Arizona. To tunnel through a hill or
mountain side so as to take the water of
the Colorado without damming the
stream, which is the present plan and
that recommended by the English irri
gation engineers, then to bring the water
down on both sides of the river; h an
aqueduct across the Gila, so as to irri
gate the 2,000,000 acres of rich land lying
adjacent to Yuma, in Arizona, Cali
fornia, Sonora, Lower California; in
fact, to build this canal ninety miles in
length, 100 feet in width at the bottom
and twelve feet deep, is not the work of
an hour nor the task of a child, and yet
this is but the outline of this great work,
all of which is going to be done, and
that, too, in the near 'future. Philadel

Etruscan Legends.
Legends about the Etruscans are nu
merous, but even with them and the nu
merous Etruscan inscriptions in the
bands of scholars, the race to which they
belonged, their language and history, are
still an unsolved problem. Mr. Charles
Godfrey Leland is about to make an im
portant contribution to the literature of
the subject in a voluminous work on
Etruscan legends. For years he has
passed his summers in Italy in the old
Etruscan country, wandering among the
peasants and collecting their stories.
Their customs and superstitions date
back to the old heathen times, and devil
worship and the most primitive beliefs
prevail among them even down to the
present time.
