They will deny it when told so, but if you u k any one in the street if he ever knew a hoodoo he will say, "T ee, many a one.” Such a one was a cotton expert who, highly recommended, applied for a place with a stock excnimge house that had bought a cotton ex change membership and needed a man to open a new field o f specula tion to its clients. The applicant was in every way desirable save for the fact that three houses with which he had been connected had failed, though not one for a dishonest reason. He was rejected as a hoodoo. Shortly afterward he made a con nection with another house to fill a similar want and proved a very valuable man in his sphere, but within a year the fourth house failed. The hoodoo is often a man whom everybody likes, speaks well o f and recommends to every one else, with the one reservation— he is a man who unaccountably has not succeed ed. There is nothing whatever against him; he is honest and shrewd and all that, but— unsuc cessful. Once the h oodie becomes tsjown as such he must attach himself to the newcomers —jioee who < e not know, have not been warned or who are so new and confident as not to care. Each connection he makes is a little less desirable, until he finally reaches the stage at which he is ashamed o f his associations.— Strand Magazine. I n i c Pet— h • Speriafcy.

Their track was marked with blood. The banters followed and presently saw that the antagonists had separated.

A gentleman, wishing some bosh' es removed from his garden, told his gardener to pull them up by the roots. Some time after he went into the garden and found the gar dener digging trenches round the bushes. “ Why, George,” he said, “ you need not dig round those small bushes in that way. I am sure you are strong enough to pull them up by the roots.” *Oh, yes, sir!” replied the gar dener. “ I am strong enough, but I must dig a little before I can cafchj bold o f the roots.

It is not given to many to witness such a combat as one seen by an American and a party o f natives whom the form er accompanied on a hunting expedition in southern India. The natives had set some traps and nets and were making the round o f them when a succes sion o f hideous noises was heard. Proceeding cautiously to the spot, they found a big jungle bear fighting for lps life with a huge serpent. The snake had wrapped the bear in its terrible folds and was crushing it to death. The/bear was struggling as best he might, darting from side to side, roaring and snapping his jaws at the ser pent's folds. These folds the bear was unable to reach with his teeth, owing to the way in which he had been en wrapped. He struggled along the ground until he reached a steep slope, and down this he threw him self violently. Evidently this frightened the serpent, for it unwound a couple o f folas from the bear and threw its tail around a tree. This was the bear's opportunity. No sooner had the snake thus partially straight ened out, giving a rigid line from Some good luck had come to him in business that day, and be felt as If he wanted to share it with others.
