His Need
For three successive nights Newpop
had walked the floor with the baby.
On the fourth night he became des
perate and bought a bottle of sooth
ing sirup.
"Why James," exclaimed his wife
when she saw the bottle, "what did
you buy that for? Don't you know it
is very dangerous to give a child any thing
like that?"
"Don't worry," was her husband's
reply. "I'm going to take it myself.''

NAILING Alf IMASE.
Curious Custom of the Natives of th
Kongo Country.
Among the curious objects In the
borne of the Iloyul Geographical so
ciety at Kensington !nre, In I.nndn.
Is iv fetish that was captured in 1866
from river pirates on the Kongo riv
er. It Is a wooden figuro with mica
eyes that glisten unpleasantly In the
dark. A number of heavy nails have
been driven Into its body.
According to Mr. T. A. Joyce of the
British museum, tho practice of driv
ing nails Into images has two pur
poses. One Is simply to get a favor
granted. In that case the worshiper
ou paying the fetish man a fee Is per
mitted to .drive a nail into the figure
while uttering his petition. The oth
er purpose Is to injure an enemy. In
that rase tbo applicant pays a heavy
fee and drives his nail Into the figure
In tho belief that his enemy will fall
111 and die.
A man who falls 111 goes at once to
the fetish man and makes Inquiries,
and 1 l.o find that an energy lia.i
driven a null Into the idol with him
In mind he bribos the fetish man
heavily to remove it. That, he thinks.
Insures his getting well..
The principle underlying the prac
tice is qultedlffcrent from that un
derlying tho old practice of making a
wax Image of an enemy and driving
pins into it. The wax figure repre
sented the victim, who In somo oc
cult way felt In his own person the
abuse lavished on his effigy. The nail
driven Into tho wooden figure, on
tho contrary. Is to remind the god to
perform the wishes of the petitioner.
It Is, as It were, to tie a string round
his finger. Youth's Companion.
LEGEND OF THE VAMPIRE.
Oueor Beliefs That Cling About This
Old World Superstition.
The vampire, according to the belief
of eastern Europe, is the physical body
of n dead person. siiiulo or female, that
maintains llsclf in a sort of half life in
(he grave by returning to Its former
linnnls mid nourishing Itself on the
blo(Kl of living persons. This suporsli
tlou is eliiirnrterlslii'iilly Slavonic.
The vampire superstition Is strongesi

though it also pervades the populnr be
lief in Poland and Servln, among the
Czechs of Bohemia and the Slovaks of
Hungary and is to be traced as far as
Albania and Greece. Comparative phi
lology proves It to have had a common
origin with the equally hideous legend
of the were wolf, a human being who
could at will Hssiimo the appearance
and ferocity of n wolf, which If wound
ed In Us nocturnal pursuits in the head
or limbs eouUl not effaco Its injuries or
escape detection wheu It returned to
its hninau form.
The vampire Is to be detected during
his visits to the haunts of man by his
extreme pallor, bis unnaturally Jong
nnd pointed ranliie teeth and his fetid
breath. The (umpire also throws no
shadow either upon the ground or on a
looking glass and Is never seen to eat
or drink. How he leaves and re-enters
Ids grave Is un undecided point, be
cause no one Is-over supposed to have
had the courage and address to see, but
the belief Is that locked doors and
closed windows are no bar to his move

a range of 24.Q00 yards as mounted oc '.
fourteen hind miles, were the equal ot IJSr
the fifteen Inch weapons of foreign nil-1 ffjy
vies because of the greater muzzle ve- lij
loclty. Ho further said that at target ' (jgy
practice last year throe twelve-Inch:,
shells were driven through heavy ur- (JW)
tuor plating at 12,000 yards.
