HAVE FIRM BELIEF IN FAIRIE1
Curious Superstitions That Are Still
i Prevalent In Ireland.
In Ireland thero linvo boon for many,
many nsoa ciuloim Buperntltlonfl re
garding fairies. In the old tlmo these
imagined little elflns were thought to
bo half human nnd half spirit nature,
and had strango powers over mankind.
Tho good folk of Urln used to propiti
ate the falrlcf Mi many ways, a few ol
Uiern being an follows:
If a child spilled milk on the floor
the mother would say: "That's for tho
fairies," thinking that some ftilry had
t caused tho accident. Thus the eareloss
"'cWltl vjnt unrcprimanded. If one wore
throwing slops out of the window or
door slio must cry out to the rallies:
"T.tke caro of the water!" Otherwise
eoiut fairy passing might get drenched,
and rctnllnto in some unpleasant man
ner If a liorne?hoe was nailed over
the door it would prevent tho fairies
from entering to do niiuchlef to tho in
mates If a small pleco of Iron vcro
hewed Into an infant's garment tho
fairies would never molest It by caus
ing it to suffer colic pains. If a largo
vessel filled with pure drinking water
were placed In the kitchen at night tho
fairies on entering would not touch
tho food there, but content themselves
with drinking the water.
Making Shakespeare Ancient.
A well-known dramatic critic visit
ing Stratford on Shakespeare's birth
day and hearing the clangor of the
bollis, which, from their tower in tho
old church whero the poet lies burled,
awoke tho littlo town to Its devo
tions, approached a wintry-headed
Htreet sweeper In front of IrvlngB Inn
and said: "Who 1b the fellow they're
making this fuss about? I seo you
bate' Shakespeare hotels, Shakespeare
gingerbread, and only the other day I
eaw a man driving to town some pin
called 'Shakespeare'a best' who Is
lie the fellow who lived in that turn
tile-down shanty yonder?" The "old
Rt Inhabitant" megaphoned his ear
and wheeling, replied: "I think he
writ." "O'i. h writ, did he? What
did he write books, confessions of u
deei stealer, magazine articles
what?" "I think he writ for the
Hlblc."
Father Evidently Had Faith In Dauglv
ter'a8uppllcatlon8.
Among my esteemed neighbors there
Is a family knuwq for tho piety of its
members nnd theife implicit confidence
in tho efficacy of pnyer. Ono of tho
daughters, Miss Katj II , has al
most reached the ago when she could
bo roforred to gallantly as an old maid.
She is the target for many a good
natured quip pertaining to her alleged
hopes and endeavors In the direction
of matrimony.
Not long ago n certain society of
young men which had interested Itself
In tho campaign for higher saloon li
cense sent n commlttco toN visit tho
homes of the district and obtain signa
tures to a high-license petition. When
this committee, numbering a half dozen
members, ascended the steps at the
B home my friend's wife was the
first to see It through the front win
dow. "Laws, John!" she exclaimed to her
husband. "See all those young men
coming to visit us!"
Mr. II glanced out of tho win
dow, noted the number of tho invading
force nnd remarked, with an air of
conviction:
"Humph! Knto's been praying again."

BEAUTY OF PHYSICAL HEALTH.
No Attractiveness for Women Without
Good Digestion.
"To look young and keep your beau
ty you must hnvo a good digestion,"
says n beauty cuUiiiInt. "Wo. feed our
patrons upon herbs; we give them
greens, nnd wo adviso them to take
acid frtilfH. When a gypsy woman gets
out of sorts she lives upon dandelion
greens; she mixes sweet herbs; she
doctors 'herself with tho fruits of tho
oaitli, and she recovers.
"Outdoor life is eveiy thing for tho
woman who wants to keep young.
"Her walk gives away tho woman
who does not want people to know
how old site is. Usually siio loses her
elasticity. And she takes to high heels
and a stilted walk. Wear convention
al clothing nnd lie elasth- In your gait;
In that way you will look younger.
"I advise women gniu'rallv to Join a
d Hiring oh.BM By taking the stops
one can keep up one's elasticity winter
and summer. I have a chum of four
women who conn- three times a week
to learn tho gp'- rnndnugocg nnd the
Spnnish dances. They find that they
breathe better, feel hotter and nro
more healthy generally from this exercise."
Penitent and ncsourceful.
One of tho prison ml siouors of the
Church Army tolls a story of a man
who came under tho Inllueuco of tho
society at a mission hold at York, Eng
land. Tho man, a notorious pickpock
et, was so Impressed by whnt ho hoard
that lie felt he must do .something to
Fhow his dctermlirtirn to lead n now
life. He considered Hits but way to
do this was to put something Into the
collection, but unfoitunately he had
no money In lilii pocket. Then a bright
idea struck him; ho picked tho pocket
of tho man sitting next him, and thus
was ablo to contribute to the good
work. It is said tho man has been re
claimed definitely.
Drummers In Endurance March.
Fnrls was recently the scene of an

sixth regiment of the line, covered
the dlstanco and filled the conditions.
He drummed around Paris la six
tours and flvo minutes.
Reads Like a Fairy Tale.
An Atchison girl had always heard
of tho Impoliteness of women in fait'
Ing to thank men for giving up a Beat
in the street car, and decided that she
would be an exception. A man gave
her a seat Saturday night in a crowded
car, affording her tho opportunity for
which she had been looking. "Oh,
thank you n thousand times," she said.
"It Is Just what I wanted, nnd how
did you ever guess It? It Is so thought
ful of you, and I do apperclute It so
much." Then, as she sank Into the
seat: "And such a comfortnblu scat!
It is the most comfortable seat I ever
sat in! Oh, thank you again so much!"
Atchison Globe.
An Unapproachable Herse.
A young man called to take his
sweetheart out driving the other day,
bat when the stunningly attired young
lady caught sight of the turnout the
young man had hired for the occasion
he feigned a headache and refused
to accompany him.
"Why, Violet," asked the astonished
mother, "why don't you go with him?"
"Well, jnamma," was the indignant
reply, "I consider that a very foolish
Question on your part How could I
go when the horse ho was driving
didn't match a Blnglo thing I had to
wear?"
Giving a Town Color.
Jason Williams took advantage of
the open woathcr last week to paint
bis woodshed a beautiful 8ky blue,
and In passing his houso we found
our sentiment bubbling up at tho
Bight. A bluo woodshod with a red
door to It comes as near art as you
can hopo to find it. Wo hopo Hint
others will follow out tho idea.

Death-Bed Statistics.
When a groat man dies, no ono is In
terested in learning who surrounded
bis denthbed, but the news Is always
sent out. Peopio caro no more to
know, than to hear if ho wero laid out
in tho parlor or bedroom, or if ho wore
attired In a shroud or his regular
clothes. Dut an Atchison inquirer has
measured his bed, and finds that with
out unseemly crowding it will accom
modate 1G. How, then, can 30 and 40
surround the deathbeds of the great
men, as told in the telegraph? Atch
