M a near relative of the one written about by Ansty in bis “Fallen Idol.” Napoleon the Great had two rings which lie believed brought him good luck and which he constantly wore. These rings were inherited hy Na poleon 111. and were as constantly worn by him. When Napoleon 111. died and was buried it was proposed to take the rings from his lingers and gi\e them to the prince imperial. Hut the prince would not have them, although the old retainers of the family prophesied all sorts of dire things from his refusal. When th< unfortunate young man was killed in Zuluhmd those who believed in the prohpeey of the rings said: “I told you so.” The list of celebrated mascots is a long one. Hoodoos of distinction are. fortunately, less frequently heard about, though nearly every body has at some time in his life pos sessed some article which he believed brought him ill luck.

These pilgrim band* can always be seen moving about the country. They carry little banners with the name of llieir city and district marked on them, and when they have received good entertainment at a tea house or hotel they hang one of their ban ners up in a conspicuous place as a testimonial.

INDIANS WERE HOMESICK. Two \ovoJu BurUa Who Didn't Cara to l.ld#T in the Motrovolltiii Hldvt. W. K. Johnson, an independent mis sionary among the Navajo Indians of northern Arizona, was lately speeding a few days in Kansas City looking after business connected with his work, lie brought with him two Navajo bucks with the usual unpronounceable names. She-She-Nief and Pesh-lu-Ki- Et-Sette are the auspicious titles of these braves, the former meaning “long man of his tribe” and the latter signifying "the silversmith.” The two Indians accompanying Mr. Johnson, says a local report, intended to remain here for some days taking in the sights, but were finally over come by homesickness and requested the missionary to send them back to their squaws and sheep. Mr. Johnson says that there are about 20,000 Navajo Indians in north ern Arizona. Over a third of them live on their own or rented land and draw no money from the government. These Indians are poor, but independent, and do not depend upon Uncle Sam’s bounties for a living, but earn their daily bread mostly by raising sheep and making Navajo blankets, which have become famous throughout the clothing markets of the United States. Although civilized in many of their customs, the Navajos live in little hovels consisting of a framework of [toles covered by dirt. APPLES AS LIFE-SAVERS.

That ancient joke of the small boy who replied to another who asked fon tiie core of the apple he was eating, “There ain’t goin* to lie no core,” late ly had a practical, almost a trnpic, illustration in the case of a survivor of the Itritish steamer Elingamite, wrecked oIT the coast of New /•'aland, says the Washington Star. When the raft carrying them pushed oIT from the vessel on Sunday it car ried Ifi persons, and the food supply consisted of two apples. One of these was eaten on Tuesday and the second nn Wednesday, each being divided into Ifi portions. The famished peo ple were rescued on Thursday. They attribute their salvation to those two apples. Think of that, you buyer of fruit from the corner stand, to whom i couple of apples are only a bit of dessert after lunch. Think of it. youngsters.who munch your apples in a luxury of undisputed ownership and glow with a pride of generosity when vou permit a playmate to take a bite. Think of it. too, you cooks, who pare apples with an artistic indifference to the thickness of the peelings and the cutting out of the core and “bad spots.” The appb should take on a new and economic aspect In the eyes nf all who rend of that I eying experi ence in the south seas.
