ABOUT JACK JOHNSON. THE Montreal Herald of Jan. 29. has it that .lack Johnson, former heavy-weight pugilistic champion of the world has* made up his mind to fight Jack Dempsey before the latter meets Georges “arpen- tier, the Franch pugilist who recently deteated Joe Beckett, the English holder of the European title. Johnsoa plans to return to the United State at once —this news was cabled from Mexico on the day of its publication——to face charges pend- ing against him in Chicago. He is confi- dent that he can arrange legal difficulties in time before D>mpsey’s encounter with Carpentier, and he asserts that the form- er must meet him before he claims the wvorld’s championship. It is said that Johnson would go to New Yovk by the way of Havana, arranging through the American Embassy here for the Federal agents from Mr. Clyne’s office to meet bim in New York. This step was for the purpose of avoiding comphications. John- son requested Mr. Clyne to give him thir- ty-six hours of leeway after he arrived in Chicagoso that he might secure bonds- men and make other legal preparations. Johnson asserted yesterday that he weighed 218 pounds, but would go into training immediateley after reach- ing the United States and would be able to easily make his okl fighting weight. During the eight years that Johnson has been out of the United States he has visited virtually every country in the Old World and South America.—Dominica Guardian. MARRIAGE SUPERSTITIONS In some parts of Germany the dutics of the bridesmnids are tinged with su- perstition. It is one of their duties on the morning of the marriage day to carry to the bride a myrtle wreata, for which they had subscribed on the previous evening. This they place on her head,and at night remove it, when it is placed in the bride’s hand, ske being at the time blindfolded. The bridesmaids then dance round her, while she endeavors to place the wreath on one of their heads. Who- ever is fortunate enough to be thus de- corated will, it is believed, be a wif& be- fore another yeair has passed. In re- moving the bridal wreath and veil, the bridemaids are careful to thiow away every pin, or the bride will he overtaken by misfortun¢; while any unwary brides- maid who retains one will lessen her chances of marriage— Everyday Life. WHY YOU WINK | The unconscious act of winking bears a quite important relation.to the welfare of the eye.
