The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure n all its stages and that is
Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known' to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a con
stitutional disease, requires a constitu
tional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the founda
tion of the disease, and giving the pa
tient strength by building up the consti
tution and assisting nature to do its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its cultivative powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to cure. Send for list of

SAILORS' SUPEESTITIONS.
They Had Strewn g-er Forms In Early
Days TnanSo-e Now Manifested.
Stolen . Wood Mortised Into the Keel to
Make the Vessel Sail Paster Lawyers,:
( . . Women and Clergymen Looked at (
with Disfavor on SalUng-ytssels. '
Lieut. J. D-.fen-old Kelley gives an
interesting chapter of "Superstitions
of the Sea" in the Century. After
studying- them fairly well, he doubts if
modern sailors arc more superstitious
than any other class with equal train
ing and opportunities. . . ,
In earlier days superstition was as
much a part of every ship as the water
she was to float in, for it entered with
the wood scarfed into her keel and
climbed to the flags andgar lands waving
at her mastheads; it ran riotously at her
launching, controlled her name, her
crew and cargoes; it timed her days
and hours of sailing and convoyed her
voyages; it summoned apparitions for
her . ill-fortune and evoked portents
and signs for tier prosperity; it made
winds blow foul or fair, governed her
cuccessful ventures and arrivals, and,
when her work was done, promised a
port of rest somewhere off the shores
of Fiddler's Green, where all good
sailors rest eternally, or threatened
foul moorings deep in the uncanny
locker of Davy Jones of ballad memory.
In many countries stolen wood was
mortised into the keel, as it made the
ship sail faster at night; though if the
first blow struck in fashioning this keel
drew fire, the ship was doomed to
wreck upon her maiden voyage. Silver
(usually a coin) placed in the maiumast
step went for lucky ventures, and mis
guided indeed was the owner who per
mitted any of the unlucky timbers to
enter into the construction. Something
of the ceremonious character given to
launching survives to this day; where
of old ships were decked with flowers
and crowns of leaves, flags now flutter;
the libation poured on the deck, the
purification by the priest,- the anoint
ing' with egg and sulphur, find their
exemplars in the well-aimed and wasted
magnums which are shattered on the
receding cut-water as the craft, re
leased from the ways, slips, well
greased, into the sea; the jar of wine
put to his lips by the captain, and then
emptied on deck, the cakes and ale set
before the crew, the stoup of wine
offered to passers-by on the quay, and
the refusal of which was an evil omen
all are realized in these sadder lus
trums by the builder's feast in the
mold-loft.
Lawyers, clergymen and women are
ever looked at with disfavor on sailing
ships as sure to bring ill-luck lawyers,
undoubtedly, from the antipathy of
sailors to the ' class, a dislike so pro
nounced that '-sea-lawyer" is a very
bitter term of reproach, and "land
shark"' is a synonym. Clergymen
priests and parsons are unlucky, prob
ably because of their black gowns and
their principal duty on shipboard that
of consoling the dying and burying the
dead thourh oossiblv because the devil,
the great storm-raiser, is their especial
enemy, and sends tempests to destroy
them. Women who may reason out
their unpopularity? save that a ship
is the last place for them, or perhaps
because of the dread of witches, for of
all spell-workers in human form none
is so dreaded as the female brewers of
hell-broth. Like the priests of the
middle ages, they can raise a prime
quality of storm by tossing sand or
stones in the air, and, like Congreve's
Lapland sorceress, are supposed to live
by selling contrary winds and wrecked
vessels.
Certain families could never get sea
employment under their own sur
names, not even such members as
were born with cauls,, as they were
tabooed, barred; and many animals
hares, pigs, black cats, for example
could neither be carried nor mentioned
on shipboard, save under very stringent
conditions. Scarborough wives kept
a black cat in the house to assure their
husbands' lives at sea; but on voyages
every black cat carried a gale in her
tail, and if she became unusually frol
icsome a storm was sure to follow.
Years ago, on board the flagship Frank
lin, up the Mediterranean, we had a
yarn that illustrated a survival of this
antipathy to certain forms of an
imals. Two old -quartermasters were
heard during the morning watch ex
changing in the cockpit dismal ex
periences of their dreams the night be
fore. One was particularly harrowing,
for the narrator wound up with: "And,
I say, Bill, I was never so afeared in
my life; when I woke up it seemed as
true as day, and I was all of a tremble
like an asp on a leaf."
"What's that?" said the other. "Pipe
down; don't mention that rep-tile; he's
a hoodoo on shipboard."
Figure heads were at first images of
gods, and later of saints and sea-heroes,
and were held in high reverence, and
the eyes glaring from each bow of a
Chinese junk enable the boat ' to voy
age intelligently for "no have two
eyes, how can see? No can see, how
can do?" is the shibboleth of their sail
ors. Ships' bells were blessed, and to
day if a mistake in their striking is
made by a stupid messenger boy, they
are struck backward to break the spell.
In one ship to which I was attached
the bell had come down to us from the
Ticonderoga, through the Thetis, I
think, and was supposed to be under
the special control of a blue spirit of
mischief. Why the blue spirit should
indulge in such vagaries is hidden, but
in- the middle of deep-sea nights, when
the moon rode in an auspicious quarter,
and the wind blew with the force, and
from the direction, necessary for the
spell, the blue bell was bound to make
a complete circle, and ring out nine
bells stridently. - Of course no one
ever heard or ought to hear nine bells
at sea, for eight bells are as fixed in
limit as the decalogue; but this was
promised. Whether the conditions
failed to coordinate, I cannot say, but
though the bell was watched by all
sorts and conditions of men, the occult
ceremony was never performed for our
benefit.
