PLANNING A RURAL CAMPAIGN.S&lVatiCm AthsV teaching Out Into tha

Smaller Country TowbjOmaha, April 2. Brigadier French of

St. Louis says the Salvation army isplanning a new departure in its workin this division. "This coming summerwe intend to send out bands of yonngmen and women with tents and taber-nacles. These cadets will be enlistedfor six months and visit the smallercountry towns. One tabernacle willvisit Missouri, one Iowa, one Nebraska,and one Colorado, if the present plan iscarried into operation. This will givethe rural population an opportunity toengage in our work and see it. Hither-to the work of the army has been large-ly confined to cities of 3 000 populationand up. As soon as these smaller groupsof converts are made, it is the intentionto adopt something like the Methodistcircuit system of preaching. My juris-diction extends over the territory lyingbetween the Mississippi river and thoRocky mountains, including the statesof Missouri, Iowa, Uebraska, Kansas,South Dakota and Colorado. I am nowon my regular trip of inspection, re-ceiving reports, etc."TRAIN HELD UP BY MASKED MEN.

AN OPAL CANNOT BE LOST.

Apparent Verification of s. Tirtao ClaimedFor the Alleged Unlucky Gem.

A wealthy broker of West Philadel-phia had a rather singular experiencethe other day. He and his family havehad in their possession for a number ofyears some very handsome opals, butthe superstition which was formerly en-

tertained concerning the stone being un-lucky prevented him making use of thegems. Last year ho took a trip to Eu-rope. While in London bs met at thehouse of a mutual friend a dealer inprecious stones, who had just come fromGracias a Dios, in Honduras, and hadbrought back some fiuo gems.

Instead of putting any faith in thepopular superstition this gentleman be-

lieved in the opal very thoroughly andattributed to- - it virtues which no othergem possessed. Among the things whichhe said about it was that the opal wasattached to its owner by invisible cordsand that it was impossible to lose it,though it might be mislaid. The Phila-delphia broker on his return to Phila-delphia chose the finest opal in his col-lection, had it set in a ring, surroundedby small diamonds, and at Christmaspresented it to his wife. It was truly abeauty, and the wore it with consciouspride.

One day on returning from a day'souting sho received quitb a shock theopal was gone. Search proved vain. Notrace of the stone could sho discover.Not only on account of its value, butbecause she knew how highly her hus-band prized tho stone, she hated to in-

form him of her less. At last she feltobliged to do so, when, greatly to herastonishment, he drew from hia vestpocket a tiny package and presented itto her. Upon opening it what was herdelight when she recognized her lost?opal.

Mcro astonishing still, her husbandaffirmed ihat while he was walkingdown Chestnut street a day or two be-

foro he felt something under tho sole cfhis shoe, which upon investigationproved to bo tho opal which he had lastseen shimmering upon his wife's finger.Thero ws no doubt about it being thelost one. for the jeweler who had setit recognized it also. PhiladelphiaTimes.

HEROIC TREATMENT.

Hott a ZJlslocated Jaw Was Put BackInto Its Place.

While talking in his sleep HenryFlocke, a builder, residing in OzonePark, I, J., dislocated his jaw. Mr.Flocke'tilabit of talking in his sleephas mado him the butt of a good deal ofjoking. He went to bed as usual, but hehad not slept long when he began talk-ing. This awoke his wife, who listen-ed for about ten minutes. SuddenlyFlocke's uocturnal monologue stopped.He begaa gasping. Mrs. Flocke wasfiightenfd, and she shcok her husbandinto wakefulness.

"Why, what's thp matter, Henry?"she asked.

Kcr husband tried to speak, but invain. His jaw was immovable. He motioued to his wife that he could notspeak, and she endeavored to force hisniouth shut. Sha could not movp it.Fearing her husband, was suffering fromJpchjaw, she sent fqr Dr. McDonald.

"Do you want me to replace yourjaw in my own way?" asked the doctor.

Mr. Flocke motioned in the affirma-tive. Dr. McDonald Etepped in front ofFlocke. Without warning the doctorstruck Flocke a terrific blew on the leftside of the jaw. Flocke showed a dispo-sition to strike back,

MVon told mo to do it my own way,"eaid ihe physician. "You observe thatyour ability to speak is restored."

The blow had knocked Flocke's dislo-cated jawbone into its proper position,aud except for a little soreness he wasnone the wore. Dr. McDonald explainedthat Flocke's jaw was liable to disloca-tion Gt any time unless he broke him-self of the habit cf talking in his sleep.

New York Tinie.A Disappointed Diplomat.

An interesting sicry is told in Wash-ington regarding M. Patenotre, theFrench embassador. After congresspassed the law empowering the presi-dent to send embassadors to such coun-tries as would raiso the rank of theirrepresentatives, Sir Julian Pauncefotewas the first to inform the president ofthe intention of his country to makehim an embassador. M. Patenotre con-ceived the ambition to bo the dean ofthe embassadors and communicated itto his home government, aud hia com-mission arrived before Sir Julian's. Hewent to the state department in thehope of immediate recognition as thefirst embassador to this country. He wagtold that Sir Julian had anticipated himby informing the. department of the acion of his government. He was angry,

and wrote to the president requestinghis intervention.. He received insteadchilly letter from Mr. Greshara.

The IJarisal Guns.In the delta of the Ganges a mysteri-

ous sound is sometimes heard, to whichthe name of "Barisal guns" is given,because of its resemblance to the dull re-port of distant artillery. Similar noisesare well known to the lighthouse keep-ers and fishermen of Ostend and Bou-logne, whocall them the "mistpouffers,or fog dissipators, and generally hearthem on trie evening of a hot day in sum-mer. Although the feounds are compared'q the detonations of guns, they are not

very like these, and they occur at irreg-ular intervals. Their origin is envelopedin mystery, buf some physicists regardthem as electrical detonations, such asmight be produced by flashes of ordinarylightning or the explosion cf globe light-ning, while others refer then to theshocks of fluid matter in the bowels ofthe earth or the rumbling of slight earth-quakes.

Leav-ing him standing nt the door, she disap-peared, presumably to get the promisedsum, but in reality to send one of herservants for a policeman, although shehad no good reason for doubting thoman's statement that he had picked up.the purse in the street."

A MOLE RANCHER.

Californian "Who Slakes Money by HisStudies as a Xataralist.

"No, boys, it ain't money that makes! my pockets bulge out that way, but itis the equivalent," remarked a grayhaired, gray bearded rancher froni Men-docino as he took in the slack of a hayrope that did service for a belt

I "To tell the truth, my breeches pockets and my coat pockets, too, are prettywell Jined with moleskins. Within'thelarf year I have developed into a molehunter, and it pays. I have several acresin strawberries atUkiah, and they needconsiderable water. I uEed to put in alot of time digging little trenches andturning water this way and that, but itwas disappointing to go out the nextday and find that I had been irrigatinga mole hole. I set a watch on the littlepests, and I soon learned their habits.Since then it is no trouble at all to getthem.

"In the first place, I found that amole never comes straight up to the topof the ground, but always on a claut,and you will see the ground agitated forsome time before he throws up his hill.If you step within 20 feet of him whenhe comes to the top, he will instantlystop work and run. It's no uso to tryto catch him then.

"But a mole is the victim of habit.If he i3 disturbed at his work at 2

o'clock today, he will not come back tillexactly 2 o'clock tomorrow. You canset a watch by him and depend on itsbeing right. Well, I watch around inmy berry patch and take the time when-ever I disturb Mr. Mole. The next day,when it is time for him to come back, Itake my station near the hole. As soonas he throws up his little niound I plantmy foot behind, him and close up thehole. Then all I have to do is to scoophim out pf the dirt and drop him intomy pocket, kicking and scratching like agood fellow. I kill him, stretch his skinon a shingle, and a man hero in the citypays me $1 apiece for them to makenurses of." San Francisco Post.

A Xegro's Itong Drink.A western member of congress was

recently with a party discussing the ca-

pacity of men to drink strong liquor.After listening to several stories alongthis line, he said:

"Well, I don't: believe any class ofmen can, bea.f these Washington negroeswhen it comes to drinking strong liquor.One Friday night as I camo home aftera night's session I thought I would stopin a little saloon near my house and geta stovepipe of lager to make me sleepsound. " It is not a very swell place, butit was the only one convenient. While Iwas emptying the big glass of the frothyliquid a tough looking negro, with a bigstick under his arm, walked in and de-

manded a pint of gin. .

" 'What price?' asked ihe young manbehind the bar.

" 'Twenty cents,' said the. fellow, be-

ginning to count out a lot of pennies." 'Al rjght, said tho bartender,

'where is your bottie?'" 'I don't want no bottle. Jest hand

out a glass, hub. '"Tho liquid was measured off in a

big beer glass, and without taking itfrom his lips he swallowed the contents,not eyfi deigning to take a drink ofwater when ho had finished. The bar-

tender did not seem to be at all sur-

prised, merely remarking that the fellow would probably taka several suchdrinks beforo he finished the evening."

SAILORS' SUPERSTITIONS.

Sow. Jolly Jack Tar Used to Iok Uponr

i tho Days of tho WeeklTTho old superstition as to lucky and

unlucky days has largely passed away.Foreign mails start and arrive on Fri-days without any regard for beliefswhich were at one time accepted as be-ye- ni

argument by most sailors. Some! thought otherwise, as will later appear.

beneraJJy speaking, all saints' days andchurch holidays were regarded as un-lucky, and certain days in each monthwere rather distrusted. In an old almanac cf 1G15 we find that July 19, 20, 24and 31 were noted as "no good anchor-ag- o.

" Sunday was always looked uponas lucky, presumably in reliance on thomaxim, "Tlie better the day tlie betterthe deed." and tho facfe of our Lord'sresurrection having taken placo on thatday. ;

Monday had no particular reputationfor good or eviL Tuesday was tho same,except among Spaniards, who said,

J 'Don't "marry or go to sea or leave yourwife on that day." Wednesday was theday of Odin, the Norse god, and lucky.Thursday, was named after Thor, theN'rse god cf war, and was auspicious.Friday was the day dedicated to Freya,Norse goddess of love, and having refer-ence to women was not liked on thisground. The true reason for avoidingFriday was, of course, the fact of thecrucifixion having taken place on thatday, and sentiments of special venera-tion for the day became converted intoa feeling of fear for the results whichwould follow its violation. The Span- -

V iards, on the other hand, had a considerable veneration for Friday and be-

lieved that some occult influence enabledColumbus to successfully clear out cfport and discover new land on that day.Saturday was generally considered aus-pioio- ns.

The origin cf the phrase, "A capfulof wind," can bo traced to a Norse king,Eric VI, who died in SOT A D. He wascredited with ihe useful power of direct-ing the wind to blow where he wished bythe sinrple method of turning his cap tothat point of the compass. His powerswere ninch appreciated and trusted andresulted in his being known as "windycap." There is no evidence as to wheth-er he could regnlate the force of thewind as well as the direction ; presuma-bly he could, or his faithful believerswould not have been so many. A "bag-ful of wind" is auorher common ex-

pression and indicates something like agale. This has been traced down to theclassical legend of iEoIusand his captivewinds confined in bags. Loudon Nau-tical Magazine.
