I notlocil n noat, modceHooklng
young liuly pushing licr wny along in
tho urowtl on Kqnrny Btrout tho otlior
day, and ws surprised to bco bo much
spirit ninnlfestcd by a girl of hor dainty
nppoaranoo. When alio inot sovoral lad
ies sho would crowd olosoly to tho Btroct
edgo or tho wall, but when men camo
along sho marched boldly between
thorn. Calling the attention of another
lady to her atrango mannor, sho saids
"Oh, I always do that, too. I un
derstand Itj she's superstitious."
"How is that!" I aakud.
"Wall, you sco it brings good luok
to soparato men, when you meet them,
but nothing breeds mlsfortuno bo Bure
ly as to divldo two womon on tho
street."
1 looked to sco if Bho wcro jesting,
but saw at onoo that a judgo could not
bo moro serious.
"And do you boliovo that nonsonsol''
I asked.
"Why, I s'poao it's foolish," Bho an
swered, "but I know if I ovor do it.
Homothing happens. Now, just yester
day I was with anothor lady and was
ashamed to turn out, and wo went
right between two women, and at diu
ner I swallowed a toothpick and oanio
near choking to death."
"Hut you didn't die," I suggested.
"No, but I was awfully soared.''
That evening I went to a party and
tried to find out tho pet superstition of
oaoh girl I dauced with. And thoy all
havo thorn. Ooo wouldn't go nnder a
loaning ladder, another would bo suro
of becoming ill if she saw tho moon
over her loft shoulder, anothor would
not rpad an epitapb for fear of losing
her memory. Ono girl told mo sho
could Btop a dog's howl any timo by
taking off hor shoo and spitting in it.
In drawing her kerchief from her bos
om a narrow slip of paper fluttered to
tho ground, on which were some hiero
glyphics. "Oh, my charmP she ex
claimed. I supposed sho had lost an
articlo of jewelry, and was searching
about for it whon sho seized upon the
scrap of paper as though it were a deed
to a San Diego corner lot My curios
ity was aroused, and sho explained
that it was a charm insuring success in
undertakings, purchased by her at a
great price from an Egyptiau fortune
teller in Paris, and that its possession
alono amounted to nothing, but it must
bo put into the pookct or in tho bosom
of a dress during tho recital of an
Egyptian verse. If ono failed to ro
mombor that, however, tho Lord's
prayer might bo substituted.
In tho midst cf an entrancing waltz
with one lady sho suddenly paused and
pressod her hand spasmodically to her
upper lip.
"What is it!" I asked.
"I was bo afraid I should sneeze,"
she remarked, "I wouldn't for any
thing to-night."
"Why to-uight moro than any time?"
"Ob, it's Friday, and 'sneezo on Fri
day, sneezo to your sorrow.' And it
comes true, too, if I over do forget.
Did you never hear the rhyme
Sneezo on Monday, Bneezo for danger;
On Tuesday for a stranger,
On Wednesday for a letter,
On Thursday for something better,
On Friday for your sorrow,
On Saturday, company to-morrow.
"1 always try to sneezo on Saturday,"
she addod naively.
I have taken notes since then, and I
find there is not ono of tho sweet crea
tures that has not her pet superstitious
whim. I havo a little friend on Van
Ness avenue who would go to church
with her sealskin jacket wrong side
out, if by any improbability Bho hap
pened to got it on thac way, rathor
than inour the bad luck sure
to overtake her by taking it off to
change it. I know a girl on Four
teenth street, in Oakland, who becomes
quite radiant when her dressmaker is
obliged to rip a seam sho has just sow
ed, as sho is suro she will live to wear
tho garment out. I remember visiting
a ranch where bees were kept and the
hostess telling me tho honey was a
failure that year on account of their
neglecting to rap on tho boo-bonso to
toll tho occupants that her father had
diod. "He died very suddenly," sho
said, pathotioally, "and tho surprise
and hurry and all we forgot all about
it until daylight, and it was too lato
then, for he'd been dead four hours,
and the bees must bo told within the
hour or you'll lose 'em, all, and suro
enough we did."
In Cincinnati a beautiful young
saleswoman in a dry-goods house wont
fearlessly into tho family of a wealthy
banker and nursed threoadults through
a siege of small-nox, although she had
never had tho disease, because there
was superstition in her family that
those born between such and such
hours under tho planet Uranus should
never lose their beauty while they liv-i
ed. She took tho large Bum of monoy
sho thus earned, for tho banker was'
grateful and lavish, and with it she and
her brother went to Kansas City,,
whero they invested it in real estate,
mado monoy in tho vonturo, camo out
hero and to-day aro among our woll-to-do
oitizens. In that oaso superstition
paid better than in tho instance of the
jealous bridesmaid who rooontly threw
rico after tho carriage containing tho
bridal couple in St. Louis and wound
ed the bride in the eyes bo that sho'
had to keep bandages on them for
forty-eight hours.
Aotrnss aro said to havo their littlo
vagapes in this line, likn tho rest of
their box. While Adelaido Ncilson
was playing Juliot in Haverly's Thea
tro sho broke her dressing glass in tho
groonroom. Another was brought and
tho lady who played tho Nurso broko
that, whilo tho llomoo of the company
stepped on a small handglass and
broko it. "I wonder which of us will
go first,'" said Adolaide, pale to her lips;
"for you know tho broaking of a mir
ror means suro duatli." And an act
ress who was present that night look
ed grave as sho told it to mo. "Of
course," eho added, "as a general thing
'ono doesn't bcliovo much in it, but it
was strange that Noilson, Iloraco and
tho Nurso wt-ro all dead insido of eight
months." San Francisco l'ost.

THE COLIJMBIA 1ND
Susquehanna Centennial
rill'.l'AilATIONS FOR A OltANl) CKt.KBHA-
tion nv tub vkoi'Lk of the countt.
In tho fall of 1787 tho first settlor In
tho territory which now comprises
Susnuohaiina countv erected his rudo
log iionso on a high bank overlooking
tho ploturoftqao Susquehanna river at
Jlnllstcad, ra., a pretty and prosper
ous town, which was formerly called
Great Bond Vi llano. Ono hundred
years havo rollod by andjnow tho pros
porous and intelligent peoplo of Sus
quchamia county proposo to colebrato
ttio contennial of that ovent in a man
tier worthy of tho splendid county in
which they reside. On tho first day
of July last George A. Tost, in tho
Montroso Democrat, gave an interest
ing review of the history ot tho county
and uracd that tho contennial should
bo celebrated at Hallstead, whoro tho
first log cabin waB built.
Tho proposition was received with
universal favor and n convention was
called to meet at Montrose, which took
tho preliminary steps towards making
tho affair ono of tho most successful
and entertaining celebrations of tho
kind cvor hold in tho oountry. As
soon as tho enterprising peoplo of Hall
stead learned that the convention had
selected their town for the great ovont
thoy showed that tho honor had been
worthily bestowed. Witnin a very
short timo after tho decision of tho con
vention was mado known for tho pur
poso of raising a centennial fund, sub
Bcription books wero circulated under
tho direction ot ij. is. Urook and Airs
G. W. Capwell, and within two days
tho name of every man, woman and
child within tho limits of tho borough
of Hallstead could bo seen on tho list.
This is tho first lnatanco in tho history
of this country whore such a complete
subscription list has boon made, andiit
demonstrates beyond tho peradyonturo
of a doubt that if the rest of
Susquohanna county shows one-half as
much patriotism and publio spirit in
preparing for tho centennial as Hall
stead already has done, it will bo an
ovont long to be remombered.
More than this, although tho cele
bration will not tako placo until about
tho middlo of October, tho enterprising
inhabitants of Hallstead, through the
kindness of Peter Osterhout, a farmer
residing not far from the borough,
secured an old moes grown log house,
almost tho counterpart of the first
cabin erected in tho county, and they
have placed it in tho very spot whero
the first homo of tho first county set
tlor, Strong, was built A few steps
from tho cabin Strong dug a well,
which, in after 'yoars, was neglected
and finally covered up. This well was
opened as soon as tho centennial log
honso was erected and to tho surprise
of all was f onnd in excellent condition.
A yery quaint old well curb and long
sweep hayo been constructed, and all
of the contennial visitors will havo an
opportunity of quenching their thirst
at tho first well dug in Susquohanna
county. Several great pine stumps
have been brought down from the
mountains and planted about tho cabin,
and altogether its quaint and pictur
esque appearance carries the mind eas
ily back to those rude days whon tho
sturdy pioneer bravod tho dangers of
tho wilderness in order to mako for
himself and his children a fireside and
a home.
The success of the centennial is al
ready assured. Tho question now i,
how can Hallstead and her sister bor
ough, Great Bend, tako caro of and
properly entertain tho vast crowds
whioh will gather there during the
three days allotted to the great event!
The Governor of Pennsylvania and his
staff will bo there, and the Governor is
to address the people. Galusha A.
Grow, the best loved son of tho
county, will talk to the people; Judge
McCallura will deliver the historical ad
dress, William Walter Phelps, Con
gressman Foran. author of "Tho Other
Side;" Judgo Williams, 'probably the
noxt Supreme Judge of tho State; C.
O. Carpenter, ox-Governor of Iowa, all
natives of Susquehanna county, and
many other distinguished gontlemen
will lend their presence to tho occasion
and help to make it a grand success.
An old and wellknown character in tho
county will give an hour of interesting
personal reminiscences concerning the
earlier days. A poem will be prepar
ed by a distinguished poet A rem
nant of the Tnscarora Indian, now
living on a reservation in Now York
will plant their pioturesque wigwams
near the famous three apple trees on
the banks over tho river whero their
forefathers held their great oounoils,
disonssing and deoiding questions of
great moment to the tribo whose viK
lago was near by and the remains of
whoso cemetery can still bo seen.
A large exhibition building will be
fitted up, in whioh everything of an
tiquity relating to tho county and,
many things whicn will provo by con-,
trast its remarkable growth and prog-,
ross, will bo oxposcd to the publio view. ,
Games, races and sports of all kinds
will be carefully arranged for tho
amusement of tho people, and the
illumination of old Manatowana and
tho display of fireworks will bo worthy
of tho great ovent. Hallstead has a
grave responsibility. She certoinly
has mado a splendid start May she
coutinuo worthy to tho finish, with tho
enthusiastic support of tho entiro
county.
The Pomp Snake.
ITS UBETOUIESS OUT WEST AS A CO OI'EUA.
TIVK K1UE EXTINGUISHER.
Mount Vernon (Dakota) Letter to Chicago Tribune,
In Coutral Dakota, on tho "Missouri
bottoms," there exists ono of nature's
strangest freaks. The settlers terra it
tho "pump snako." How it camo there
and whero it camo trora is yet un
known. It first mado its appearance
in Emmons county in tho spring of
188G. A lull grown pump snako
measures about sixteen teet in longtu
and about threo inches in diameter.
Thoy aro of gregarious habits, roaming
tho prairies in largo nerus, as many
as threo hundrod having been counted
in a singlo flock. In dissecting ono of
these reptiles there is found a tube
whioh extends from tho roof of tho jaw
to the extremity o: tho tan and termi
natiug in nn opening. Tho tubo is
about two inches iu diameter and lined
with a lough, yielding substance slral
lar to rubber. Tho pump snako Is eas
ily trained to answer to the call of
man. The inhabitants in this section
trap thera in largo numbers.
A farmer on Cat Tail creek has
(lock of twenty pump snakes trained
to n remarkable degrco of proficiency.
At tho blast of a whistle, the tmakes as
semble ou tho banks of tho orcek. The
loader (thoro ii always leader to a
herd of thco snakes, who is elected by
two-thirds majority), dashes iuto the
water of tho creek, leaving only the
oxtrcraehes of its tail on tho bank,
Another snako immediately grasps the
end of tho leader's tail in his jaws, a
third snake takes hold of tho second
snake's tail in a similar manner, and
bo until there is a continuous lino of
Biiakes joined end-on, extending to tho
water throughs in ttio tho oatllo yards.
000 feet away. Tho leading snako
commences to swallow or pump tho
waters oi tho creek, whioh passes
through tho long lino of snakes as It
would through a hose, and falls lu a
heavy stream into tho trough.
This agriculturist told of an extra
ordinary oiroumstanco which ocourred
a short timo ago. Whilo working in
tho Hold near his home ho obsoivcd
flames issuing from tho roof of his
barn. Wild with pxoitcmont ho hur
ried to tho burning building only to
sco that it was a hopeless task for him
solf alono to attempt to extinguish tho
fllmcs. In despair ho gazed on tho
work of destruction; suddenly lie heard
a loud rustling in tho tall grass, whenco
issued his heard of numo snakes on tho
run. Tho leador hurled himsolf into
tho creek, tho rest Instantly adjusting
themselves head aud tails from tho
creek to tho burning building. Tho
last snake, standing on its head, wav
ed its long and flcxiblo body, from tho
tail end of whlob issued a stream of
water that was thrown with terrific
forco on tho burning building. Back
and forth dashed tho tall-end of that
living hose, squirting tho water whero
it would do tho most good, whilo tho
loud pumping of tho leader could be
hoard nbovo tho roar of tho conflngra
tion. Within fifteen minutes tho last
spark was out. Then, nud not until
then, did tho pump snakes quit work.
Thoy were completely exhausted, tho
leader having tainted away. Tho main
part of tho building and its contents
wero saved, thanks to the prosenco of
mind of Hicbo wonderful snakes.
Farm Gleanings.
Beasts with small chests do not fat-
ton readily and aro very susceptible to
disease.
The color of puro Devon cattlo is
red, varying from a rich dark to a
chestnut
Tbo successful establishment of
creameries and oheeso factories in Mis
sissippi and other Southern States has
given a now impetus to dairy interests
in the South.
llotation in crops is tho surest and
Bafest plaq in farming, and whon ono
or two years of pasture shall be in
cluded in tho rotation tho benefits will
bo still greater.
Tbo annual honey orop is about 100,-
000,000 pounds, and its value is prob
ably about SglU.UUU.UUU. This would
givo for tho annual valuo of tho pro
duction of honey and beeswax about
Sl6.000.000.
Cloanuness and condition will not
prevent swine plaguo when animals aro
exposed to it, but it will decrease tho
risk of disease. Tho sanitary condi
tion of animals needs looking after just
as much as it does tor people, to pro-
servo health.
While horned cattle aro always pro
fitable to raiBe, a flock of sheep is equal
ly or more profitable. Jloth cattlo and
sheep havo a placo on tho farm, and
that is tbo best farm, and tho owner is
the best farmer, whero both animals aro
found sido by side.
mi - i . , ,
iuo more important point in malting
pigs probtable is to mako them useful.
To a limited extent this is done by mak
ing tho pig a scavenger for tho remov
al of refuse that would otherwise be
come oven more offensive than when it
passes through the pig.
Aien saytbo seasons havo changed,
that wo have moro frequent and moro
suio droughts than we had forty years
ago. 109, to bo suro. fiut we have
about tbreo feet of rainfall annually
and aro too stupid to save it as we
might, and savo our crops as well.
Dor growing cuoumbers, squashes or
similar plants put sawdust or rotten
wood about them. Thoso who have
never tried cucumbers on strong bushy
.stakes like pea sticks will to surprised
to note how they enioy it. Tomatoes
do better trained to stout sticks than
any other way.
Meadows that havo ceased to giyo
good crops may be renewed cheaply by
turning tho sod soon attor cutting,
then harrow thoroughly at intervals of
a fortnight, and before the autumn
rains reaeod with timothy and such
other varieties of grass as may bo suit
ed to soil and situation.
All kinds of honey plants aro not
favorable to all locations ; tho basswood
will not grow where it is wet and
marshy. In such places willow, gold
en rod and Spanish-needles grow abun
dantly, and in suoh localities bees may,
nave very little surplus in tho early
part of the season, while in
autumn thoy will have every cell filled
with the most delicions honey.
The famous cow- iUcota, tor which
her owner, A. J. Cowan, of Venango
oounty, Pa., onoo refused $10,000,
was Bold by htm to au Uil (Jity butcher
tho other day for $50, she haying been
ruined by overfeeding. Although
this cow stood at the head of all milk
producers in this country a few years
ago, her pedigree was never known.
She came to Cowan's family as an
ostray.
Tho expensive tools necessary to
successful farming soon woar out un-
loss well takon caro of. A little
thoughtful oare in housing tools when
not in uso will rosult in many dollars
saved. During the season of uso,
when housing is hardly practicable,
whenever work ceases for a day, a can
vas cover to throw ovor a self-bindor
or thrashing machine will pay for its
cost mauy times over.
An exchnngo remarks that a poor,
ncglcoted flock can bo brought up by
proper caro and feed, and mado to im
prove from year to year, but groat
caro must bo oxeroised iu tho selection
of rams. In breeding it is not neces
sary, but it is much better than select
ing a poor, scrawny, ill-bred ram from
auother Blrain. A long-legged, long
necked, thin-wooled buck is dear piop
erty at any price.
Wheat feu wbolo to laying fowls,
and wheat screenings or cracked
wheat fed to young fowls, havo always
produced tho moat desirable results,
though it must bo remembered that
thoy must bo fed in the sumo quanti
ties as com, or preparations of corn.
Tho tendency of wheat is to produce a
healthy growth, feed tho muscular tis
sues, and aid materially in causing the
liens to lay olten aud neb eggs.
