A CIooobt TUw of tb Power of Certain ' Popular 8aprtltloM. As antique runners passed from hand to hand the-sacred torch, so the genera tions transmit to the generations which rocreed them all that they have of light and knowledge, leaving them as a heritage the care or continuing the u Tine work of enfranchisement and of helping to dissipate the shadows cf ig- ncrance. TJttlA hr little these clouds are van cmished and disappear, and the touch of V,xac Cscacs toe osoae, rvuaouy il tSs midst cf the travailing masse. But all cf a sudden a veil covers the Uicb aomethinir surses up which saems like the darkness of another ago. One feels that in a corner or mia cm lisation monstrous things have place. ITt ther born -m, woman accused of sorcery ; there in Soabla a tribunal con- damns to four days of imprisonment a laborer who had disinterred tho corpse of an infant. He wanted to maice brace- ltj,cf its finger nails, which, according to a belief held In that country, consti tute a sovereign remedy against colic. And all the stories of vampires, cf elf, return to the mind with all the victims tb?y havo made and are making still. It seems in reading such things that the "power of shadows' is still impen etrable to all that science has done and that, as I have said, the effort is vain. Figaro. , Oa the EaIIoc; of Loon. Man is a creature of prejudice. In Scotland he will not cat eels; in Con necticut he will not eat sturgeon, the royal fish of England, where the first cno taken in tho Thames goes to the caeca's, table; in New York ho will not eat lampreys, miscalled "lam per eels,! which are delicacies in Connecti cut, and in England some old king I never could keep a record of kins died from a surfeit cf lampreys. With them prejudices In mind, and I hate all prejuaicea except uioso wnicn 1 enter tain, I decided to eat tho loon. There may be differences among loons, as there are between pigeons and sQuaba. I rreier an adult pigoon to a squab, there is better chewing on it, but if a man wants real hard chewing. wwith a Caver of raw flab, let him tackle an adult loon. That bird could not bo picked.

A GREAT BOAT E ACE. rHE8ENNINQTONS CRACK CREW GOT A COSTLY SURPRISE. th Story of m Fourth of J air Bow in OnUtt i TJooolalm WWth Emptied tho rocket ad Xce rated thm Temllnf of Cade Baa's Jackie. About as dismal a Fourth cf July as ever I experienced on board aman-o'-war," said anex-sailor cf the navy now living in Washington to a report er, "was Independence day not many years ago down in the harbor of Hono lulu. The Bennington had an all star racing boat's crew. The eight had just happened to be assigned to the Ben nington In a bunch before she left for her Pacific cruise, and several cf the oarsmen had been members cf the Co lumbia's crack boat's crew that walloped all of the British navy's boats' crews in English waters a few years before. The Bennington's cutter was one cf the best in the navy, and she bad been Kniit fnr a r&eer. -Before we Ielt the Mr IiJond narr vard for south Facifio waters the ship's racing crew had easily yft-n nil of the ether crews cf the thin lrinff at the vard. including the fnfrm rrw of the Olrmnla and the Boston's fine crew. We thought that we were atout aa warm s they make em after our crew put it cn so many nthT man-o'-war crews, civing them a rnnla nf minutes the start of us, too. on numerous occasions ana still beating them disgracefnlly. The people cf Honolulu .arranged an annatio festival lor me rouria ui . B m m T9 Sf July the Americans down there cele brated tho Fourth just as enthusiastic ally aa we do up here and the Ben nington's crew figured in it largely. Our ship's colors were at the fore in the two races that were run with picked Kanaka crews, and tho third and last nirA nf tha dav was ono In which our crackajack eight was to figure, the other races having been won hy BUDcrews practically picked at random from among the strongest seamen. We thought this race was as our mercy. It was to bo a lour Biaea axiair one crew of Kanaka sugar field workers, a crew of Kanaka policemen and the racing crew of the yacht Eleanor," be longing to Mr. Slater of Providence, that had pulled into Honolulu harbor from Japan a few days before. Our rww didn't nar much attention to the yacht's racing crew and were only fig uring on tho distance they coula beat tho crew of Kanaka policemen, which seemed tho most formidable The race was over tne lour miie courso carefully blocked oct in the har bor which was very sniDotb by the Honolulu aquatio sportsmen, and the atart was first rate There wasn't a man, torn rrr aft. cn the Bennlncton that didn't stand to go broke to tho extent cf at least a month s pay on tho success of the Bennington's crew, and we bad to slve 3 to 1. too, for It was generally conceded that wo had the race at our mercy. 'The start, as I said, was good, and the Bennington's crew showed in front first and started out apparently to make a runaway race cf it. The Kanaka po licemen's crew trailed after thejn, pull ing steadily, then the Kanaka sugar workers and, a good ten lengths to the rear, the Eleanor's crew. This was the way it looked for the finish when the Bennington's .crew rounded the stake boat and started for the return trip. , "Some of the Honolulu men who had their money up on the two Kanaka crews actually, began to square accounts, and the cry, 'It's all over Bennington 1 was heard all over the bay. When the stakeboat was rounded, it was noticed that the Eleanor's boat was sort of get ting a move on itself, and the men were working like machines at a long, steady stroke that certainly looked as if it was cutting down the Bennington's lead and tho lead of the' two Kanaka boats. , 'Two minutes after tho stakeboat .was rounded tne i-ieanor s gang were right abreast of the Kanaka cutters and gaining on them with every stroke, and the ccx'un of the Bennington's cutter, hearing the yells of warning from the Bennington bluejackets ashore, looked behind him and saw the Eleanor cutter only two lengths behind him and com ing like an electric launch. Our crew was .tired, and that a all tnere was about It. The Eleanor's crew had held them selves in for the finish; and they cer tainly did make a Garrison finish of it The yacht's cutter shot ahead of our cutter a good mile from home, and then, to make the thing more galling, the crew actually stopped rowing until the Bennington's crew was alongside again. Then they took to the oars again, and from then on it was a howling farce. The Eleanor's crew just romped their cutter in ten lengths ahead of our cut ter and the Kanakas a quarter of a mile in the rear. You never saw such a disgusted lot of men in your life as the men and officers on tho Bennington. The Elea nor's ship company had taken all cf the 3 to 1 mcney they could get on board our ship, for they knew they had a good thing up their sleeve The Eleanor's crew on the whole trip around the world that was wound up at San Fran cisco had not been beaten once in a cut ter race, and the yacht's sailors had made all kinds cf money in. betting on their crew. It was a minor sort of con solation fur us when we found out that nve or tne Lieanor a racing crew were ex-American man-o -war's men." Wahinston Star.

An exquisite gem is the opal, its beautiful creamy surface lit with red, blue and yellow rays scintillating in the light and giving it a place in the front rank cf precious stones. Unfortunately tho opal has a bad name, and we know the proverb about the dog with the un lucky cognomen! Superstition credits this beautiful stone with bringing mis fortune to its owner, and superstition will win its way so long as the world lasts. 'The opal is peculiarly brittle and sometimes crumbles away without any apparent cace, therefore it has been branded unlucky." But let those laugh who win, there are still some who value opals for their worth and beauty and who can afford ' to make merry at the superstitious. The opal is the type of hope. Chicago ews. A Former Caineeo .rieec It consisted chiefly of old junks which had not been in the water far more than SO years. During this lengthened period the sea had receded, and the land had formed to the ' extent cf more than a mile, the consequence being that these ancient vessels were high and dry, their masts, sails and gear had rotted away from the long exposure to the sun and rain, the raint had peeled from their aides, and, in some cases, the very nlankintr had been stolen for firewood.

Crippled by Rheumatism. Those who hare Rheumatism find themselves growing steadily worse all the while. One reason of this is that the remedies prescribed by the doctors contain mercury ana potash, which ul timately intensify the disease by caus ing the . joints to swell and stiffen, S reducing a severe aching of the bones. . S. S. has been curing Rheumatism for twenty yeara even the worst cases which seemed almost incurable. Capt. O.E. Hashes, the popular railroad conductor, of Columbia, 8. C, had an experi ence with Rheumatism which convinced him that there is only one cure for that painful dis ease, lie says: "I.-was a ' great sufferer from mus cular Rheumatism for two year. I eouid get"" o permanent relief from any medicine pre scribed by my physician. I took about a dozen bot tles of your S. S. 8., and 3g. f now I am as well aal.tfjA?: ererwaslnmyllfe. Iam r-y cured me, and I would --a 1 . j recommend it to any one r-"w. suffering from any blood disease." - Everybody knows that Rheumatism Is a diseased state of the blood, and only a blood remedy is the only proper treatment, but a remedy containing potash and mercury only aggravates the . trouwe. For TheUlUUU being Purely Vegetable, goes direct to the very cause of the disease and a per manent cure always results. It is the only blood remedy guaranteed to con tain no potash, mercury or otner dan gerous minerals. Books mailed free by Swift Specific Company, Atlantat Georgia.
