SURE TO BREAK THIRD TIME
Man Knew What Hia Spectacle
Would Do, 80 He Got Ahead
of Fate.
A. Jeweler in Brooklyn recently
showed the humorous phase of super
stition as It troubles some people.
"A man came Into my store with a
pair ot spectacles he had dropped on
the floor and broken," he said. "I have
an optician with roe. A price was giv
en lor the repairs and the work was
done. When the glasses were deliv
ered the customer said he'd been pret
ty lucky with them; this was the first
time In three years they had been bro
ken. But the next day he came around
again. He had dropped them and
they had broken within ten hours aft
pr they had been fixed.
"1 want you to make a good Job of
It," he told me, 'so they won't break
gain.'
"He said he would callf or tKem".
Vhen he did and when they were giv
en to him he asked if I had a glass
paperweight or something the least bit
heavy. My medium-sized hammer was
tandy and I asked blm if that would
do, wondering what he wanted them
for. He took the hammer from me
and laid the spectacles on the floor.
Then he took the hammer and hit
the offending lens a hard blow. There,'
he said, as be straightened up, with
the pieces in his hand. 'I've fixed that.
Vow will you kindly repair them
lain?'
"Naturally, I wanted to know why
!he had done this.
" 'Superstition,' he replied. 'I've al
ready broken them twice and there
was sure to be a third time. I've
brought that third time about so I
wouldn't have to lose more time than
necessary. Now, if you will have
tbera fixed I guess they'll never break
again!"

For Baby's Eye.
Mothers, please do not send your
babies out without any shade for the
eyes. Even though it Is not summer
time, they should not be allowed to lie
with the sun shining in their eyes. All
sorts of troubles result from this, eye
inflammations of many kinds, often
defective vision and nervous condi
tions, which remain for life. If you
would try lying with tbe sun shining
in your eyes for an hour or so you
would soon realize how disagreeable
It is for a baby In a gocart or car
rlage to be subjected to it.

oti'e of these were white, some of

Six Carloads of Chickens.
Thlrtv thousand chickens passed
through Western cities recently from
Nebraska to San Francisco. Tne
fowls were sidetracked at various
points and were viewed by many peo
ple. The shipment was made by J.
G. Gaeschlin, who owns a number of
poultry houses In different parts of
Nebraska. It consisted of six car
loads, every car carrying approxi
mately five thousand fowls. Each car
had a keeper, who gave the birds con
stant attention and saw that they
were properly fed and watered. The
'rip Is usually made in eight days,
but in this Instance It took fifteen
days on account of snow. Chicago

some other birds. Nevertheless they
feel the cold cruelly, as you may see
my frosty night If you visit an Ivy
creeper clad wall with a lantern;
the sparrows nestle together In a
closely packed mass, and If there be
a chimmey you may be sure the birds
will have chosen Its exterior as their
roosting place for the sake of such
warmth as it may give Detroit Free

The Vanishing Pigtail.
A large number of Shanghai of

their Queues, and every day the new
fashion Is coming more Into popular
favor. Time was, and that within the
last two years, when any reference to
this buuJc :t among representative
people in this country was taboo,
while to-day it Is a subject compre
hensive of discussion, and similarly to
the vicious practices of opium smok
ing and foot binding, the wearing of
a "pigtail" Is rapidly becoming bad

Mrs. Champ Clark, wife of the
Speaker of the House, tells a story of
her ancient colored cook, who took
liking to every article in her mis
tress's wardrobe. It was "Please give
me this" and "Pleace glv me that,"
until Mrs. Chirk took a trip to St
Louis and laid in a generous supply
of hosiery and underwear and outer
garments for the old mammy. The
gifts were received with gratitude,
but presently the old cook was at her
old tricks, asking for stockings,
aprons and wrappers. "What did you
do with all those things I brought
you from St. Louis?" demanded Mrs.
Clark. "Why, mlssie." answered the
woman, "I couldn't use them things.
Not for nothing. I am saving them

Pasteur' Revenge.
In that one of the hundred best
books Vallery-Radot'8 "Life of Pas
teur" we read the story of his misery,
it Is nothing to say that the war near
ly broke his heart. But It broke
neither his faith nor the straight line
of his work. Only a sort of rage poss
essed him to redeem and console
France by working for her. "Hence
forth," he said, ''every one of my
books shall have written on It these
words. Revenge, revenge, revenge."
And this was his revenge, to set the
name of France In the honors list of
science higher than ever: to give the
rest of his life to her service, and
to wear himself out for her sake.

Sings Hymns to Her Chickens.
A woman living near here never
snys "Chicky, chlcky. chick" when she
wishes to feed her chickens. When
she goes to the hennery with feed
she sings a church hymn, such as
"Rock of Ages" or "Holy Bible, book
divine; precious treasure, thou art
mine!" and the "biddies" make a bee
line rush toward her from all parts
of the yard. The chickens recognize
her voice, and will not rush to any
other person with tlie same speed,
even If the same hymns are sung.

A Portrait of Charle Anthon.
His outward personality was unique
and Impressive. He was a trifle
under the average height, erect a3 an
Indian and Inclining to portliness.
His head was suberb and his features
strong and finely cut. He was punctl
ously neat In his dress, the style of
which was never varied. A short
sack coat hung straight from his
ample shoulders, merging in front
Into a black satin vest and a very
small gold pin, the whole surmounted
by a. black satin stock and a high
standing collar with rounded corners.
Broke 62,458 Bottles.
On the morning of April 18, 1906,
the cellar of Paul Masson, a wine
merchant of Ban Jose, Cal., contained
a stock of 125.000 bottles, all neatl
arranged. Then came the earthquake
and when the proprietor was able to
enter his cellar again he found that
62,458 bottles, by actual count, were
broken and the remainder thrown
about In the wildest confusion. It Is
curious, with such a large number of
bottles, that the quake should have
come within a few dozen of demolish
ing an exact half of the stock. Wide

tbe European railway is I think of the

line once waited on me to request an

Taxing Bachelor.
One of the smallest of the German
principalities is undertaking a very
big experiment in financial legislation.
The diet of the elder of the two prin
cipalities ot Reuss, which lie in cen
tral Germany, to the southeast of the
Thurlnglan states, carried recently a
resolution in favor of increasing the
state income tax by 5 per cent, of the
tax on incomes between 150 and
300, and by 10 per cent, of the tax
00 incomes exceeding 300 a year in
the case of unmarried persons of eith
er sex who have reached their thir
tieth year. The diet consists of twelve
members, and the resolution was car
ried by seven votes against five. The
puper-taxatlon of bachelors has often
been proposed in other German states,
and was Jocularly referred to a a pos
sible form of Imperial taxation by the
Emperor William,
Inventor pf Ice Cream,
"I am looking for some means of
verifying a statement that Is printed
at the bottom ot the bill of fare In ft
colored people's restaurant that I vis
it once a month," a gas collector said.
"In a red-letter footnote the proprie
tor calls attention to the excellence
of his own home-made ice cream; then
he adds that all members of the race
ought to eat ice cream because it was
Invented by a colored man named
Jackson. So sure does he seem of
his facts that he relates circumstances
attending the evolution of ice cream
from plain custard. The narrative
sounds convincing, but colored people
are so ready to vaunt the real and
reputed achievements of the race that
the Ice cream legend may require
verification."

One pastor objects to the bride'
