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.

SEE GOOD AND BAD
OMENS IN SNEEZE
Ecst Indians Superstitious
on the Subject.
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.

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.
