It is certainly something of a trib-

tions and scholars that when, some
years ago, a graduate of Harvard
went to Oxford and applied for ad-
mittance there to make a special
study of Shakespeare for a year he
was told: ~o~Go back to Harvard and
Professor Child. They can teach
you far more there than we can
xere.TT It seems, however, that this
opinion had been expressed before,
even at a time when Harvard and
American colleges had. not nearly
attained their present standard, for
the elder Edward Everett, ina letter
dated as far back as 1818, said, writ-
ing from Oxford: ~~I have been over
two .months in England, and am
now visiting Oxford, having passed
a week in Cambridge. There are
more teaching and more learning in

Interesting Experience of an Indianap-
olis Gentleman
termes atl
No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than ne-yous dyspepsia,
People having it think that their nerves
are to bla:se and are surprised that they
are not cured by nerve medicine and
spring remedies; the real seat of the
mis*hief is lost sight of, the stomuch is
the organ to be looked after.
Nervous dysreptics often do not have
any pain whateverin the stomach, nor
perh ps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspep"
sia shows itse/f notin the stomaci so
much as in near y every othe O.gar, in
some ¢.s8es the heart pelpitates and is
irregular, in others the kiuneys are
affected, in ethers the bowels are con-
stipatet, with headaches, still cthers are
troubled with ~oss of flesh and appetite,
with accumulation of gas, sour risings
and heartburp.
Mr A W Sharper of No 6. Prospect

THINGS DONE FOR LUCK.
Sonie Old Superstitions, Not All of Which
Have Entirely Disappeared.
We are content today to throw
rice at a newly married couple or an
old shoe or two, and the bride tosses
her, bouquet among the girls to in-
form her who is. lucky enough to
catch it that she will be the next
one married, but wheat is.really the
thing to throw because the evil
spirits hate the color yellow above
all things. If white grain like rice
is used, it attracts them, and to be-
come efficacious should be colored
yellow with turmeric or some simi-
lar dye. Ghosts and the things that
bring ill luck hate leather, so old
shoes are proper, except in those in-
stances when it was suggested that
the guests throw the carriage and
let the couple drivé away in the
shoe. Buta shoé under your pilisw
is a radical cure for nightmare, and
cramps in bed can be averted by
placing a slipper upside down at the
foot of the couch. The use of trunk
straps, slippers, leather whips and
the like on small boys also prevents
the approach of new spirits of mis-
chief and drives off theold ones. It
is well for the bridegroom to sew
garlic, cloves and rosemary in his
waistcoat before the ceremony. No
spirit gets depraved enough tostand
that combination. The route at a
wedding must be arranged so that
everything is done as the sun travels
or as the hands of a watch go round.
Anciently there used to be a sacred
fire about which the bride and
groom danced in this manner.
It is all right enough to find a
four leaved clover, a horseshoe or
the like, but mere picking them up
is not lucky. It must be an assured
fact that the finding is a thing of
pure chance. Then as the object is
taken in hand you must say: ~~I do
not pick up this horseshoe (or four
leaved clover, as the case may be),
but I pick up good luck. May it
never leave me!TT Horseshoes are
useful for more things than one, A
crooked nail from one is a sure cure
for fits, or, if placed in the nest of a
sitting hen, wil] keep her from being
frightened off by thunder.. Made
'into a ring and worn on the third
finger of the left hand it cures rheu-
matism. But it cannot be insisted
upon too strongly that all these
things must be found. You cannot
buy luck. .
Mirrorsare good things to have-"
if they remain whole. It is always |
wise to have a little one set in a
ring, broochor bracelet. You know,
evil things are unable to withstand
a sight of themselves. Ifthey catch
the slightest glance of their ugly |
visages, they flee for their very ex- |
istenco. This makes a barber shop |
a lucky place to have your hair cut!
in, but the barber must be particular |
to go to the top of a hill with all hisT
clippings and let them he blown,
away, else something undesirable |
may find the hair and work you al
mischief,
There are some barbers |
in Chicago who are known to be;
careless about climbing bills for this |
purpose. Holding a mirror in front |
of u man when he is sleeping will |
put a step toany hailstorm if per-
sisted in, and, by the way, the un- |
luckiest thing in the world is to
steal from a blacksmith.- Many a)
man has been known to be defeated
on election day because in his boy- |
hood he took things from thesmithy
without permission, and it is also
unfortunate to make any disposition |
of the parings of your finger nails
except to bury them.
The evil eye is an ancient institu-
tion and one worthy of regard. The
animus behind the owner of the bad
eye is alwaysenvy. He sees some-
thing he wants and looks askance at
it, and after that the thing never
has any luck. Then, when the evil
eyed one sees that, she cannot wish
for it, and her power is gone. In
some places this is done by putting
a little piece of black court plaster
or something similar on the face.
Lampblack on the eyelids is famous,
though pains should be taken not to
make it look like long eyelashes.
In Chicago the favorite cosmetic for
this purpose is soot"what the Brit-
ish call ~~blacks.�T Thes@ are gen-
~erally worn, and it has been erudite-
ly surmised that this is one reason
why the city and its inhabitants
have such good luck. No envious
visitor has ever been able to make
the evil eye work through the smoke |
nuisance,"Chicago Times-Herald.

EXECUTION OF LOUIS XVI.
_ Bravely and Calimly,
In The Century there is a graphic
article on ~~The Last Days of Louis.
XVI and Marie Antoinette."T The
author, Miss Anna L, Bicknell, says:
It was a dark, misty, January
morning. The presence of the two
soldiers precluded the possibility of
conversation; the priest therefore
handed his breviary to the king and
pointed out appropriate psalms,
which the king read devoutly and
with perfect calmness, to the evi-
dent astonishment of the gendarmes.
The shops were shut along the way,
and crowds of armed citizens stood
on the pavement as the coach, pre-
ceded and followed by eavalry and
artillery, went slowly through the
streets, where all the windows were
closed. Lines of troops stood on
each side, while drums beat solemn-
ly, as if for a military funeral.
As the coach passed along the
boulevards near the Porte St. Denis,
afew young men rusbed forward,
waving swords and crying loudly,
oCome, all who would save the
king!T There was no response, and
they were obliged to flee for their
own lives. They were pursued and
several were arrested, with fatal
consequences, The king, absorbed
in prayer and religious meditation,
had not even perceived the,vain at-
tempt to effect his deliverance.
The coach had at last reached the
Rue Royale and the Place de la Rev-
olution, where the crowd was im-
mense. The scaffold stood a little
to the left of the place, where the
obelisk now stands, but nearer the
Champs Elysees, toward which the
guillotine was turned. A mass of
troops formed a square around the
fatal spot. The coach stopped at a
distance of afew paces. The king,
feeling that the motion had ceased, ,
looked up from his prayer book,
saying quietly, ~~We have reached
the place, I think.�
One of the executionerTs assistants
opened the door. The king earnest-
ly commended the priest who ac-
companied him to the care of the
gendarmes, and then stepped from
the coach.
Three men surrounded him and
tried to take off his coat. He calm-
ly pushed them back and removed |
it himself, opening his shirt collar ; 46
and preparing his neck for the AX. SC
The executioners, who seemed at ;&
first disconcerted and almost awed,
then again came around him, hold-
ing a rope. |
The king Urew back quickly, ex-
dlaiming: ( -
~oWhat do you want to do?�
oTo tie your Hands,�
The king exclaimed indignantly:
oTiémy hands! No, I will not sub-
mit to this.
not-attempt to tie me; you shali pot:
doit!T ~dhe executioners persis cd |
and spoke loudly. The king looxed
toward the Abbe Edgeworth, who
at once saw the impossibility of re-
sistance, and said gently, oSire, this
last insult will only provide a fresh
po it of resemblance between your
mi. osty and the God who will be
yOur recumpense. "T
ohe king looked up to heaven.
*Assuredly, his example alone could
inc: ce me to submit to such an in-
dig. ity.T Then holding out hig
hands: ~~Do as you please. I will
drink the cup to the dregs.�
His hands were tied, and with the
assistance of his confessor he as-j|
cended the steps of the scaffold,
When he
the abbe, walked firmly across the
ecaffold, silenced the drums by a
glance of authority, and then in aj
voice so loud that it was audible on
the opposite side ot the Piace ce la
