SUPERSTITIONS.
They Play at Times an Important Role
In Human Affairs.
When Sir Charles Napier had con
quered Mehemet All, he lound it Im
possible to force or coax the wily
Egyptian Into signing the treaty which
only would make his victory effective,
lie had nineteen interviews with
Mehemet. in which tiie Englishman by
turns argued, flattered and threatened
his antagonist, who listened day after
day with the same Immovable, smiling
countenance.
One day Sir Charles in speaking of
England said casually that it "was
governed by a lucky woman." A
strange flash passed over the pasha's
countenance, but he made 110 answer.
As soon as Napier had gone Mehemet
sent for the English consul, who was
an Egyptian, and demanded:
"You were in Loudon when the Eng
lish queen was crowned. Were the
omens bad or good?"
"All Rood."
"You think that good luck Is wrlt
ten 011 her forehead?"
"I did not think upon the matter be
fore, but now that you ask me I be
lieve that It Is. When she asked Allah
to help her in her work, her eyes ran
over. Allah loves the Innocent."
"No doubt of that," said Mehemet
anxiously. "She must be lucky."
Early the next morning he sent for
Sir Charles and signed the treaty.
Euglisli power and English cannon he
could brave, but not "the luck" writ
ten upon the forehead of a goud wom
an whom he had never seen.
General Gordon's remarkable influ
ence over tin? Chinese was in a large
degree due. It Is stated, to their belief
In his extraordinary luck. During the
Talplng rebellion he was followed by
an army which did not comprehend
either his ability or his religious zeal,
but which believed that he was pro
tected by an Invisible being who led
them to victory. No sword could
wound him or bullet kill. A certain
black ebony cane which he carried was
supposed to be the magic talisman
which brought him victory, and Gen
eral Gordon was shrewd enough al
ways to carry this cane when he led
them Into battle.
These superstitions seem absurd to
us, but they show that the Ignorant
men who hold them believe I11 an In
visible power who can give good or 111
fortune at his will.- London Truth.

KASTLE KERN NOTES.
Ilarold Bodine, of New York City
made the ascent to Kastle Kern in
one hour flat. What makes this time
of interest is the fact that Mr. Bodine
tips the scale beam at exactly 2S0
pounds.
The following out of town people
vFsited the Kastle during the past
week: ? O. R. Fisher, Bantry, X. D.
Samuel Baxter, Victoria, B. G\, II. H.
Bullen, Pilot of S. S. Santa Clara,
John P. Boone, (70 years old), Clin
ton, la., H. A. Hark ins and wife.
Chief Engineer of S. S. Jefferson,
Protone, 111.
A jolly party of Skagway young pe :
pie made the trip up the hill, Wednes
day evening and after taking the
Kastle by storm, indulged in all kinds
of pranks. One of the features of the
evening was the masquerading of sev
eral of the men folks, when they got
into Mr. Svabotsky's property room,
and togged themselves out in the "old
Sourdough attire which is a feature
o* the Kastle's curio display. While
the "actors were performing, the lad
ies popped corn and made fine coffee,
and the entire party without a dis
senting ballot, voted Kastle Kern the
"Only place to have a real old fashion
td jolly time."
Stop at the Dominion Hotel when i
Whitchorse and get home cooking
and clean comfortable beds.
