wmsmmmm'i'f^ SUPERSTITION IN RENTING. JaBlloni nud Mlow PKyiuriilt Are Nul Ihr Only WofH or AtfPnlM. Cily real estate ageala tell strange storiea about the houses which are placed in their charge by the owners, who shift on them all care and respon- sibility, and, for a certain percentage of the receipts, expect the houses to yield the regulaiion revenue. But suaieiimes houses will yield nothing but worry and expense. With everything In the way of loca- tion and architecture in their favor, houses sometimes remain vacant for long periods, and in many instnnces the â- owners blame the agents, but find later that superstition au<l not laxity on the part of the agent bars the way to rents and revenue. Houses in which several people have died within a short period are less val- uable for a time on that account. "Of .course," an agent said, "when deaths have occurred because of bad sewerage, and where the sanitary conditions are otherwise bad, no one would blame peo- ple for remaining away. But houses where a couple had died of old age would be looked upon by a certain class as "unlucky." and there are thousands who could not bo lx}ught to go into such .a house. " The worst people in that respect." he continued, "are the young mothers. We have had contracts broken because somebody said that 'babies never thrive on that block,' and liecauae 'ihe last family that occupied the "flat had twins.' But the greatest trouble in ttiat line ;omes because of Friday and the num- ber IS. When you find a man who will sign a lease on a Friday you may make up your mind that he will lie a good tenant, and that he doej» not pos8e.ss iny of the qualities of the dreaded kick- ing tenant. As to the number 13. why it IS as hard to rent a house with that number as one in which there is a cross-eyed, hallboy or from which a con- tagious disease flag is flying." To prove this the agent told of a beautiful apartment house which had been completed recently, anil for which, lespite its advantages as to location tnd superiority of construction, no ten- ants could be found, although its less attractive neigblmrs were occupied. It took the lamllord only a short time to team the cause, and when the number was changed from No. 13 to U 1-2 he found that the home-seek iiig public ap- preciated his building.

He hiis .'I bri«cbt hamlsome. looking son, 13 years of age, named Freddie who is a lad of more than average int>elli- ^nco. It is pretty well known in Wolf- ville that Freildie underwent a very severe illness, though perhaps the means to which he owes his recovery is not so generally known and a state- nu?nt of the caae may l>e the means of helping some other sufferer. On the 26th of Decemlwr. lt<93,l''re<l(lie was tak- en ill and was conflneil to his room and his bed until March,. 1894. Two differ- ent physicians were called in during' his long illness. One said lie liud la gripi>e and the other that his trouble was rheu- matic fever. He was troubled with sev- ere pains through the muscles of bis legs ami arms, aJter three or four days was obligied to take to ))ed. where be lay nearly all winter, suffering terribly FORCED TO LIVE ON BREAD.

This was what Mrs. Ja.i. Edge, wlio is is charge of the post-office at Edgehill, Ont., bad to endure. Her case tock peculiar form. Where bread ia spoken of as the staff of life, an<l is a leading item of the bill of fare of every meal, it is the cose that even with bread one may have too much of a good thing. This was Mrs. Edge's experience, for her indigestion assumed that sbapn that she practically could cat nothing l)iit breaxf, and, unfortun- at^'ly, very little of that, Only one re- sult could follow, that the system was thoroughly weakened, and she soon be- came prostrated.

The face is a good index to the state of one's physical being, and from it symptoms of disease oan be detected al- most before the patient is aware that anything serious is the matter with him. B'or instance, incomplete closure of the eyelids, rendering the whites of the eyes visible during sleep, is a symi- ptom in all acute and chronic diseased of a severe type; it is also to be ob- served when rest is unsound from pain, wherever seated. Twitching of the eyelids, associated with the oscillation of the eyelialls, or squinting heralds the visit of convulsions, widening of ih' oriices of th' no-uj, with movenii^nia of the nostrils to and fro, point to em- larrassed breathing from disease of the lungs or their pleural investment. Con- traction of the brows indicates pain in the head; sharpness of the nostrils.paiu in the clicst, and a drawn upper lip, pain in the abdomen. To make a gen- eral rule, it may !« stated that the up- per third of the face is altered in exv pression in affections of the brain, the middle third, in the diseases of the org- ans contained in the aUlominal cavity. KINGS AND CARDS. The Emperor of Austria never touch.- es cards unless something weighs heav- ily on his mind. Then he does not dis- dain to imitatle his good subjects in Hungary, who nevier starts »">• busi- lujss without pneviously consulting the cards. The King of Italy has a horror of cards, in which he certainly does not resemble his father. Queen Christine has prohihlte<l every form of card play- ing at the Spanish court. As for the Gierman Emperor, he has a whole sys>' tem of secret police watching in even the most exclusive clubs, to see that no heavy gambling is done. His Imperial Majesty seldom touches canls except when atioard hia yaoht, wh«re he is accredited with playing heavily. I WEST SHORE THROIGH SLEEPING CAR TO NEW YORK.
