' ' " 1 reckon otu' S iitlheru 'darkies' are about the mo t Mipcrstltlous race of people In the world. " j The speaker was a Virginia gentle man In Chicago on business , and his remark was addressed to n little group Kitting In one of the hotels and swap ping stories. No one disputed tliu Southern man's assertion , nnd he con tinued : "Our darkles see signs anil omens lu everything Imaginable , and the great er part of their life Is spent In trying to live up to these omens. This super stition of theirs Is undoubtedly n her itage from their forefathers , brought from Africa In the old slave days , and even when the present-day darky gold a little education he never gets qultij enough to dispel his superstitious be liefs. They have , among their many1 other queer Ideas , a horror of black cats , which they think are the abodes of wicked spirits , and this reminds w < S of a story. | "Down In the country where tha White .Sulphur springs are situated , there are numerous other springs , all of which possess more or less medical properties in their water. Some year * a > ; o a company built a'hotel near OIM of these springs and Invested about ; i quarter of a million In the enterprise It was opened with a great nourish OB trumpets and n large number of guests Unfortunately , on the opening day ona , of the guests dropped dead. This seem-1 | ed to hoo.loo the place , and at the end of the first season the company was bankrupt and the hotel closed. j "It got the reputation of being haunted - ed in the few years It stood vacant , nnd you couldn't get a darky to tin neat It at night. Finally It was bought by n physician , and he sought a caretakei to live In the hotel until he was ready to open It. He finally got hold of a tough darky , who said he wasn't afraid of anything , and ho was Installed. Ac cording to the darky's story this Is what happened to him : j I "Tho night he took charge he thought after dark that he wanted to have sup- per. lie made coffee , fried eggs and bacon , and sat down to the table tc eat. .Tust as he had begun a big black cat jumped up on the table and , grin | nlng at the darky , said : " 'I reckon we two's the only ones hero ! ' ' "The darky almost turned white with fear , hut inn mured to answer : " 'Yes , and 1 reckons It won't bo long before youse'll bo the only one here,1 and with that ho ( 'ashed out of the hotel and went tearing up the road to the village. "As he was putting In his best licks a rabbit Jumped out of the bushes and ran ahead of him. I I " 'For Gawd's sake , rabbit , " gasped the terrified darky , 'get out of the road and give somethiu' that can run a chance ! ' "Since that experience you can't gel n darky to spend a night In the hotel for any sum. " Chicago Inter Ocean. A Numb Newspaper. The managing editor of one yellow Journal was jealous of the competition of his enlghbor across .the street , and he was ugly because he thought th'j opposition was out-yellowing him. At U o'clock in the afternoon he came Into the city editor's room , nnd the city editor accosted him as Is usual with city editor when the boss and he meet for the first time on that day. ; "Well , " he asked , "what do you think of the paper to- < lay ? " "It Is simply numb , " replied the managing editor , as glum as n ghost. I "I don't quite catch on , " said the city editor , trying his ( test to do BO. "I said it Wiis numb , " repeated the managing editor. "Numb ; numb. Don't you know what numb means ? " { ' "Not In this connection. " "Well , you ought to. It means with out sensation.

The tea-kettle finally overflowed , and no tea had come. Then the- wife said : "As we don't seem likely to have any tea , you had better offer your friend a bath.

I INCREASE OF UNMANLY MEN. * 7 S another dreadful catastrophe II about to befall the human family ? The last few years have given us the unwomanly woman at least , so It Is proclaimed on the housetops. Will ; the next few years give us the unman ly man ? He Is making his approach quite as Insidiously as did Ihe unworn anly woman. Heforo we know 11 , he will have arrived , just as she did. Ages ago , It Is said , a clover queen Invented trousers as a modest and sen sible garment for her sex. Man saw their comfort , threw aside his ( oga- like draperies , and appropriated those of the opposite sex. liehold the first unmanly man ! Later , a woman of our own country Invented bloomers. Shortly after some body Invented the bicycle. Man cast an envious eye at the bloomer , then quietly grabbed It , called It "knickers , " and to-day In the costume of Mrs. Amelia Rloomer's devising for the benefit of her own sex he parades the streets In what he calls "bicycle togs. " Surely it Is u sad picture of ujtmunll- ness ! Hut once started on this alluring path , like the unwomanly woman , he knows not where to stop. Woman had a simple , unpretentious little garment called ' the shirtwaist. Last summer man regarded It with gloomy , envious eyes , and made so bold as to sneak u few , for which act he was vociferously applauded by his fellow-men. This summer he has captured the garment i j bodily , and the shirtwaist man will bo far more familiar than the shorthaired ed , linen-collared woman. Alas , the un manly man Is growing apace ! IMit it is not only in the matter of clothes ' that the unmanly man has proven his title. Woman's fields of labor - 1 bor he has Invaded , and Is surely wresting them from her grasp. In the good . old days It was supposed to be woman's special domain to make the garments i wherewith her sisters were clothed. Hut now man has appropri ated ' the needle , and the man dress- muker flourishes in the land and Is growing - In numbers. The mysteries of a woman's spring hat were , It la thought , only capable of being comprehended by the feminine mind. Hut man has likewise Invaded this feminine domain , and the man milliner vies with the man dressmaker in trying to get your trade. The unmanly man Is hero quite as sure as Is the unwomanly woman. It has been proven conclusively time and time again by the masculine critics of i the unwomanly woman that It all tie- ! I ' pends upon these things. We therefore - fore may look for the unmanly man to , wax In numbers until he overruns the land for multitude. To lirceil Few men on the turf were better known than the late James H. Fergu son , who served for years us starter at the great meetIngs - Ings of the coun try. Before h I s death he had built up a fine estate In the blue grass , culled " K Ing- ston , " where some of the most fa- mons horses ever nits rnnnii-o.v. known on the turf first saw the light. Since the death of her husband his widow has taken up his work and has declared thai she will do her best to keep "Kingston" up to Its old standard. She Intends not only to raise thoroughbreds , but also to race them under her own name. Mrs. Fer guson was the favorite niece of the fa mous Price McGrath , of McGrathlana. anil when she enters her horses she will revive the green and orange sash which he made famous. "Kingston" is now the home of some of the best known of thoroughbreds. The stables contain ninety box stalls , and almost all of them are filled. How JJOMK Shonlil tlie Hiifov HVcp. A table showing the amount of time a healthy , well-brought up baby spends each day In sleeping was brought out recently by tin authority. It Is us fol lows : For the first three weeks , 17 to 19 j hours. At one month. 17 to IS hours. At two months. 1(5 to 17 hours. At three months , ITi to 1C hours. At nine months , ia f . to MI& hours. At twelve months , lli to M hours. After this tbe child should sleep as long as possible not less than eleven or twelve hours at night , and retain the custom of a midday sleep for at least three more years. All children require a great deal of sleep to make up for the wear and tear if tinday. . Until they have done groulng a regular ten-hour 'night should be tinrule. . .or if < r | Cirnilniiten. Friends of the girl gratluato should bfe careful to find out Just what glfr would be most welcome on her gradu ation day. Among gifts of jewelry the little gold watch , witli Its chain , will always stand In high favor. Cuff links of uncut opals would be sure lo pleas-e most girls. A belt clasp or buckle of the new rose gold would make nn ap propriate gift. The always useful stick I pin Is popular with all women. The | ' articles of Jewelry that would please the girl graduates are endless. Another line of appropriate gifts la to be found In pretty accessories for tlio bedroom. For Instuiiui' . u bureau set of Ivory \vltb monogram In silver , j An outllt for n desk would also mulM I iin excellent graduation present. Hooks ! wltb pretty , dnlnty binding arc Just tbe thing. There are pictures Innumer- iiblo which would please tlic average girl. If she Is musical a banjo. guitar or tnandolln would probably be very welcome. Under the. head of useful presents would come an umbrella , pup. asol , handkerchiefs or a new dress. The needs of the woman who can make her own dress , but , \ lui Isn't up to giving It a sulllclently elaborate fin- Ishlng touch , are taken Into consldera- tlun. Say , one has a dress of heavy linen. Well , here's n sailor collar with elongated fronts. For variety's sake It has a clever do- sign done In white pique applique , and Is just the touch that many a one will find her dress In need of. As n finish for a rather too plain tucked blouse , or any bodice , one who cannot a ( ford a line bolero and cannot like a cheap one , may make one for herself. Skill Is the only requirement. Tucked net or batiste or grass linen will be found effective. And as for shape , this bolero ranges from a full-fledged jacket down to a mere band at the' bust line. In the latter Instance it is often Van Dyked at the top and the bottom. This design Is sometimes more becoming where the top Is higher , In low neck effect , with a round , turn-over , lace collar. In any case an applique , pointed or scalloped , will be nn addition around the edge. < = li- Will Kccover. Miss Maude Wright Is a Vassal' girl who took long walks to reduce her j weight.

Wright has a horror ] ; o f corpulency , and , ' . fearing that she was getting too stout , she exercised violently In the gymnasium and walked from ten to twenty miles dally. She would never post-M > un pone her walks on account of ( he weather. She did not seem to lone much flesh , hut gained none , and was apparently In excellent health , when attacked by appendicitis , which. the physicians at first declared , was brought on by violent physical exer tions. Danger In Stock'tmn. In a recent number of the Lancet , Dr. F. W. Tuiuilvliffti reports two cases of dermatitis of the legs. After a care ful study the physician concluded that the dye used In coloring the Blockings worn by the sufferers was the cause of the poisoning. The black stockings were therefore submitted to Mr. O. Itosenhclm , F. S. U. , for chemical analysis. The chemist found nrsenlj in both specimens , which had undoubt edly been Introduced as nodlum arsen al * ' , which Is extensively used as a fixIng - Ing agent for mordants In dyeing proc esses. The poison had possibly been Uiken up by the system , aided by the action of perspiration. for We 'Injj Cuke. Weddiug-cuko boxes are In any de sign which the bride Is pleased to or der , if she gives the Inslriiclluns lung enough In advance. At present , how ever , there Is a tasteful preference for seven ; shapes , with dependence upon the best materials for distinction. Heavy "white water color" papers are the proper sort for the covering of boxes on the tops or .sides of which the monograms , usually of both bride and bridegroom , are blended In relief , either In white or In gold and silver. Ulhhoiis for tying the boxes arc of moire , taffeta or satin. ' 1 O C'C Tl J.IIC- . Kill a bottle with cold water , draw a stocking tightly over it , seeming both ends firmly.

Really , when you coino to think of it , thereto no Intellectual or moral weakness of which women are guilty that Is not shared by the men. Much is said of woman's sometimes absurd devotion to clubs. This can be matched by the man's fondness for his "lodge" which is quite as cxtrava gantand more dcopseatecl. The fem inine love of display is perfectly matched by the masculine passion for "regalia" for nodding plumes and ( lashing swords And so we might go on , setting oil one set of sins ilgaiiibt the other bub ib is not necessary to do so. The p'nlnt we desire to make Is that , though women are many times open to criticism , and of the severest sort , men do not somehow seem to be the ones to criticise.
