EAILHOAD SCABS.
Richmond Dispatch. - J
In almost, every person there is a
vein of superstition, the vein in gome
cases being so prominent as to Influ
ence materially the action and thought
ot the man. Such a person, dominated
by belief in signs -and omens of ill
luck, is usually denominated supersti
tious,v and it sometimes occurs that
persons otherwise very intelligent
make themselves almost ridiculous.
One ofho most widely prevalent su
perstitions is that which mates the
number 13 ah ill omen.
This superstition ia especially preva
lent among theatrical people, and i3
frequently observed cmong traveling
men, as well. So general is the objec
tion to the number that lew hotels can
be found with a room numbered 13,
and if by chance a -theatrical man or
woman ia put in a room thus number
ed, or cn wL'ich the number' has been
changed from 13 to some other, the
probability is that he or she will dz
mand another room. " -
AS INSTANCE ON RECORD.
An instance is on record in one of
the smaller towns of the Estate wherein
two young women who had been as
signed to room 37 discovered that the
number was formerly 13, and at once
demanded to be given another room
There was no other room vacant at the
time, and though this was adesirable
room in every other respect than the
number, the pair gave it up in the
middle of the night and went out to
seek quarters at another hostelry. The
number 313 is especially avoided by
some, "being . regarded ' as doubly un
lucky. Am3ng(the popular. cigns and omens
of ill kick is the black cat, an animal'
that has long been regarded 'by many
as a creature oi ill portent. The black
cat figures prominently in fiction, and
is clatafied s?mong the "uncanny things
of earth. The nuperstitious of the ne
fTvn t"vn, ffin frroupiitlv lauehed at.
? . ...
gent ones, ar9 very sby of felines of
such sombre hue. Like the raven, of
poetic fame, the cat has become known
as an omen of ill luck." When a blacK
cat appears at a houte and takes up its
abode there it is regarded as good luck,
but when the cat crosses one's path
ia the night time is supposed by
many to bode no gppd for the unfor
tunate person.
- - -
IN THE DANVILLE YAKDS.
In the city of Danville In the railroad
yards of the Southern the black cat
recently inspired such a wholesome
dread that its appea?anee was viewed
with trepidation by many of the yard
employees. Among the yard crew there
ia said to be a beliet that whenever a
black cat is seen to cros3 the tracks of
th5 railroad at night it is ominous cf
the death on the , rail of some one of
the employes. . A few years ago sev
eral fatal accidents to trainmen occur
red in, or near, the yard, and it be
came rumored that whenever oneof
thssts casualties occurred a black cat
had been seen to cross the track in
froat' cf the locomotive or train on
whieii the victim of the omen was rid
ing. Such an impress'on did this su
perstition make-rja eomeo! the men
that at times they have been known to
ask to be relieved lrom dufy on the
night when tha prophetic feline with
Eery eyes blazing hsd been observed to
cross the yard. Just why a black cat
should inspire any more terror than a
cat of another color no one attempts t6
explain. But it is undeniable that
tho appearance of this prophet of evil,
especially when the Eight is unexpected,
causes no little fear to many people.
Posiibfy the weird story of Elgar
Allan Poe's has had something to do
with the black cat superstition, but
whatever the origin there is no doubt
of tha existence ot the prejudice tp this
particular color of cat. Like the figure
13, and the gruesome contents of the
witches caldron, it has come lo be re
garded as uucanuy and ominous of ill.

THEY TWO
Mrs. Frank A.. Breck in Youth's Companion.
They are left alone in the dear old borne,
After so many years,
When the house was full of frolic 'and
fun,
Of childish laughter and tears,
They are left alone, they two once
more
Beginning life overagain,
Just as they did in the. days oLyore,
Before they were nine or ten.
And the table is set for two these days ;
The children one by one
Away from home on their separate
ways "
When the childhood daysere done.
How healthily hungry they used to be !
'What rompin? they used to do !
And mother, for weeping, can hardly
see '
To set the table lor two. ,
They used to gather around th9 tire"
While some one would read aloud,
But whether at study or work or play.
Twas a loving and merry crowd,
And now they are two that gather there
At evening to read or sew,
And it seems almost too much to bear
When they think of the long ago.
At, well ! ah, well ! 'tis the way of the
world ! '
Children slay bnt a little while
And then into other scenes are whirled,
Where other homes beguile ;
But it matters not how far they roam
Their hearts are fond and true,
And there's never a home like the dear
old home,
Where the table 13 set for two.
The Penalties cf Wealth.

Isow, is money power the only

simply a human: being like you and 1,

PBOEIBIT PROFANITY.
A Chicago Firm Do3s It."
A USELESS HABIT,
Chicaso.IIerald-Record.
The action of the big packing firm of
Swift & Co., in posting notices forbid
ding profanity on the company's prem
ises will receive the unqualified com
mendation of every person who has
any conception of the elemental de-
Icencies of hfe.
It is not necessary to inquire into
the immediate causes which led Swift
& Co., to post the order. Its signifi
cance lies in the fact that a great cor
poration Employing 5,000 persons in
its packing establishment should con
ceive it to be necessary or desirable to
lorbid indulgence in profanity among
its employes. The presumption is that
the corporation was impelled by con
siderations which affected its own in
terests as well as the morals of the em
ployes. Profanity among employes in such
an establishmeat as that of Swift & Co.,
is provocation of bad temper and bad
eeling. It not only lowers the moral
tone of the employes who are com
pelled to listen to it, but it is a breed
er o dissention. It is the firebrand
that kindles a hot temper and turns
hatred into violence. It is easy to
see, therefore, that it may lower the
efficiency ot a large body 01 em
ployes', i ' .
As a matter of fact there is- not a
shadow of excuse for profanity in any
relation or exigency ol life. It adds no
lorce of power to speech. It is the con
fession of vocal impotency in the man
who uses it. The blustering, bloviating
blasphemer who flies into a rage and
pours forth a steam of profanity uponl
all occasions is a man who is not to be
eared. When it comes to a question of
vocal dynamics the man whose speech
is as clean and sharp as a hound s
tooth will inspire most fear and res
pect. " -
The Americans havo the reputation
f being the most profane people on j
earth. In no other land or clime aoes
the common speech reek with the
pollution ot profanity as here. The
Japanese, the most docile, sweet-tem
pered, artistic, and ingenious people
on earth, never poison the atmosphere
of the "Flowery Kingdom" with pro
fanity. There are no oaths or cuss
words in the Japanese language. t
A traveler in England, Germany, or
France very rarely hears the name of
the Deity taken in vain. The continent
al languages do v no appear to lena
themselves to such vile and variegated
profanity as the Anglo-Saxon tongue
is -capable of.
Profanity is vile, drsgustms, and use
less habit. It is the one abhorrent
blisht upon a language that is destined
one day to become the coirimon vehicle
f all human thought. Stop it 1

AVEBTINQ BAIL.
H:w Thd Inventor Saved His Vine
Yard. On August 9, 1S97, says Eugene P.
Lyle in Everybody's Magazine, an un
usually frightful storm passed over
Styria, Austria, from border to border,
and crossed into Hungary. It lasted
two hours and twenty minutes, and
travelled at a speed of over thirty
miles an hour. Its path was five miles
wide, and nearly eighty long. Some
of the hailstones measured fully two
inches in diameter. The same day
was made memorable by a second
storm, similar to the first, and almost
paralled, except at one point where the
two paths crossed. Hall cannon at
that time were hardly known, btt
their inventor, Burgomaster Albert
Stiger of Windisch Feistrltz in Styria,
had already set up stations -among his
own vines. During the two storms he
and his men fired over 2,000 shots.
These appeared to break the violence
of the tempests. At any rate, the
Burgomaster gathered a magnificent
harvest of grapes that year, whereas
his neighbors, who had not experi
mented with cannon, lost one-half, and
three-quarters ot their vintages. ' Mr.
Stiger's vineyards, moreover, were in
the midst of the rayaged district and
just under the centre of the crossing ol
the two storms.
The agricultural records of Italy are
filled with similar cases. At' the
planters' convention of Casale in ISfiO,
600 delegates from all parts of the
country testified. Once a single iso
lated cannon reduced the damage
from 70 to 10 per cent. During a
storm at Ozzano 500 shots were fired
from eleven stations. .Result, no hail ;
but less-than a mile away from
the'
last cannon the hailfe'l, violently,
Several delegates told of hail commenc
ing to fall, but stopping as soon as the
firing began. Others noted that the
thunder and lightning also ceased. In
one instance the hail became lumpy
snowilake?, then big rain-drops, and
finally a two hours' sLower.
