Many of the r songs in this country, such Kentucky Home,’’ ‘‘The Fatal Wedding” and “Listen to the Mocking Bird,’ were composed by negroes } For the origin of most of their songs we ! must go back to the days of slavery laboring classes of England during the seventeenth century found expression for their struggles and sufferings in the popular ballads of the time, so the Ameri- can slave gave vent to his afflictions and heartaches in song. He sang of his griefs —and they were many—of hardships and oppression, of loss of home, of separation from friends and relatives. In these songs one can not fail to perceive a certain plain- tive melody that seems to breathe forth centuries of patient suffering. But the songs of the negro were not all dictated by the tragic muse. Kven in slavery there were bright, sun kissed openings in the clouds of sorrow that darkened his life, and there is no better evidence of the nat- ural cheerfulness and gayety of his char- acter than the comic and festive songs with which he was wont tocelebrate these interspaces in his gricf

The moon has been held responsible for many extraordinary intiuences it is sup- posed to have had upon human beings. Some hold it responsibie for lunacy, while others affirm that more people die at the time of the full moon than at any other period. It seems, however, to bave been undoubtedly proved that the moon has a great effect on health and life.

Two very extraordinary cases have been put forward in support of this theory. These both refer to people whose fingers have been moonstruck. ‘The first is that of a young man who always felt at the time of the full moon as peculiar sensation in the thumb nail of hia left hand. His finger nail invariably began to bleed at precisely the time when the moon came to ite full

The other case is that of an older man, who from his fifty-third to his fifty-fifth rear always suffered from what is described

sa ‘*pertodical evacuation of blood from i¢ extremity of the forefinger of his right snd.”

A celebrated doctor mentions another

rious case of the startling effect the

| THE STORY WAS SPOILED.

And No Wonder the Girl With the The- ater Hat Was Angry.

‘*T¢ was about the neatest skin game, if it was askin game at all. that I've ever been up against.’’

The man in the orchestra seat was talking between the acts to his compat:- ion in tones so clear that they were quite audible to the girl with the thea- ter bat in the row bebind if she leaned forward a little. And she did so lean.

‘*Happened to me last time I was in Washington,’’ continued the man. ‘‘I went into a restaurant there—verv nice looking sort of a place—and ordered a lunch. My table was one of those small ones with a seat on each side of it. Pretty soon in comes a young feiale, puts her shopping bundles on the wine dow sill and takes the seat opposite.’’

‘*Pretty?’’ inquired his companion.

‘Oh, well, I don't know! Didn’t nos tice particularly, but’’—

‘“‘She wasn’t,’’ observed the other. **Go on.’’

The girl behind smothered a giggie.

‘‘Any way,’’ continued the narrator, ‘she ordered some things to eat and finished ’em before I finished mine, for I was taking things easy. Then she got up and went away, leaving her bundles on the window sill. By and by the waiter comes with a bill for her lunch as well asinine. Ikicked. He insisted; said the lady had lunched with mé& and I must pay. By that tine I was be- ginning to suspect that I was being worked, but rather than have any row I paid both checks and took the satisfac- tion of telling the manager he was run- ning a blackmailing joint. ‘I’ll take these with me anyway,’ I said, gather- ing up the buadles which my mysteri- ous vanishimg companion had left. At first they kicked on that, but I was firm. I put ‘em under my arm and went dowa to my hotel.”’

**What was in ’em?’’ asked his com- panion,

**That’s the queer part of it, the part that makes me uncertain if it was a game or noft.’’

The girl behind leared forward so eagerly that a feather of her big hat tickled the ear of the speaker. Hoe paused to brush it away. ‘The girl bob- bed back hastily.

‘“‘No sooner,’’ continued the man, “had I opened the first bundle than there fell’’—

Bang! went the orchestra in the tu- multuous opening of the prelude to the last act.

‘‘Darn!’’ said the girl with the thea- ter hat violently and looked daggers at the young man in the adjoining seat be- cause he laughed.—New York Sun,
