Janet Grove, the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Grove, of Lewis- town, was run over by an automobile about a week ago and was seriously injured. The child is but four years old, and ran right in front of the ma- chine. Owing to the circumstances the driver was fully exonerated. The child sustained a broken collar bone, ugly gash on the head and a bad in- cision in her side, which required a number of stitches to close. It is the emotion implanted in a gifted man that inspires him with a wish to communicate his thoughts and feeling to others, to teach them piety, the ideal love of God, morality, the clean keeping of all the laws that are just philanthropy, the blossom and the fruit on the tree of human chari- ty, the affectionate regard for the welfare of man. The only straight and narrow road that many travel on is a railroad, and their motive power for going ahead is a locomotive. How inestimable is the confidence of that mother in producing fine feel- ings in the bosoms of her children, who never permits herself to speak to them with a loud voice, or in harsh, unkind tones! Especially at night, when they are about to retire; their hearts should be melted and molded with voices of kindness, that they may go to their slumbers with thoughts of love, whispering words of peace to their souls. Piety, though last named, is of the greatest importance; for while there are duties to be perform- ed towards each other, there are also others which we owe to our Creator, which should never be neglected or de- ferred—the performance of which will prepare them to act right under every change, and enable them to bear up under all the ills which flesh is heir to, as well as cheer and comfort the heart me passing through the vicissitudes of life.

Sneezing superstitions are found in almost every country, but in none are they so numerous as in India, says # Calcutta writer. In Scotland, for example, it is a prevalent idea that idiots are incapa- ble of sneezing, and that the power to do so indicates the possession of a certain degree of intelligence. In Wales, sneezing is considered genera’ ly unlucky. In India, the significance of a sneeze depends very much on the ecircum- stances under which it is heard. The formula for calculating its significance is as follows: Add the number of days between Sunday and the day of the week on which the omen has occurred to the number of jaumans, i.e. watches, (of three hours each), that have - elapsed since the daybreak on the day in question, and subtract the total from eight. If the remainder is one, the sneezing portends harm from ene- mies; if two, it forbodes illness; if three, fear of starvation; if four, it foretells receipt of good news; If five, the coming of friends; if six, it indl- cates coming prosperity; if seven, it indicates bad luck; if eight, it fore shadows a great tumult, These are for single sneezes. If the sneezing which is to be interpreted is a double sneeze the opposite of these will happen, If it is a serles of sneezes it #s all unlucky. As a rule the sneez- ing of men is auspiclous for women, and vice versa. But the sneezing of a widow, or of an armed man, or a man with disheveled hair, is always of evil import; as also that of the cat, cow, sheep, buffalo, or a number of women. But the sneeze of a woman carrying a baby in her arms is a fore- teller of great riches. If another sneeze when one is taking medicine, or get- ting in a vehicle, or taking a seat, or studying a book, or planting seed, it is a lucky omen. A pious Brahmin always touches his right ear when he sneezes, in order to prevent the entry into the body of evil spirits, which are supposed to do so chiefly through the ears, It spoils one’s peace of mind to think that whenever one sneezes one is blasting the happiness of another man, or spoiling the chances of success in his undertaking. The significance of a white man’s sneeze has not yet, however, been discovered, and included in the lore of Indlan superstitions. What Party Consists Of “I wish to protest,” writes a woman, “against a habit of saying in every notice of a party that ‘refreshments were served.” Of course they were served. If there had been no refresh- ments there would have been no party, for that is all the hostess thinks of, and is the first and last thought in the minds of the guests, Some men and women will stay out of bed till midnight, the men because they can’t help themselves and the women be- cause they want to see what there will be to eat, and the eating, which doesn’t appear before 10:30, consists of a dab of ice cream, a fistfull of cake and perhaps coffee to keep the victims awake the rest of the night. Df course refreshments were served! That is all there is to a social affair.” —Atchison Globe. Odd Welsh Architecture The old High street of Conway in north Wales is characteristic of Great Britain in nothing more than in its mix- ture of architectural styles and chance effects, says the Christian Science Mon- {tor. Saxon, Norman, Flemish, Tudor, early Victorian and a touch of Gothic are all shown in the few buildings here represented. Could we see more of this typically British High street, doubtless we should find “Queen Anne” in evl- dence somewhere; also late Victorian and Neo-Georgian are well represented. Town planning, as one so often sees it in other countries, was never quite the custom in Great Britain. A street In one of her towns represents very much mere than a mere page in her history. Rare American Stamps The first official use of postage stamps was sanctioned by act of con- gress of March, 1847. On July 1, 1847, the first stamps were issued. They were a 5-cent and a 10-cent stamp. The §-cent stamp bore the likeness of Franklin, while the 10-cent stamp bore the portrait of Washington from Stuart’s painting. Professional stamps were issued prior to 1847 and were used by postmasters at some of the larger offices. They consisted of an impression placed upon letters with fmpressions ‘such as “paid 5¢” the pame of the office, ete. ‘These stamps are very rare and are among the most valuable known. —— i — —— — Britain in America. British America, which consists of Canada, Newfoundland and a number of islands, has an area of 3,750,000 square miles, while the area of the United States and its possessions is 3,743,446 square miles. Thus Britain has a little more territory, but much of it is so far north as to be of com- paratively little value. Real Estate Transfers. Mildred E. Taylor, et bar, Blanche E.
