THE SUPERSTITIONS.
I _
MOST PEHSONS CHERISH A SECRET
BELIEF IN SOME OMEN.
Thor? Ar? Not Many Who Will Admit It,
but Vrobnbly All Men Arc to Some Ex?
tent Believers In Signs, Though They
Fall In a Majority or Cases.
Every human being has his pot suporstl
tUm. It enmo to him almost in thu cradle
und has remained with him, by a strange
pertinacity, all his life. Man is too proud
to admit a governing influence which has
no real foundation and must fall to pieces
when its stability is tested, but no matter
how 6?ly n superstition may bo, onco im?
bedded in memory by n slnglo instance
when it canto true, all its signal failures
will gonorully full to loosen its grip upon
t lie human being wiio has been taught it
in ohililhood. A pot suporstltion will loso
not a jut of its influence should It fail ev?
ery time in a hundred, provided it proves
truo in ouo instance only. This fact shows
how men aro joined to their superstitious
idols.
"Sing before breakfast, cry before
night," is the most ridiculous of all old
bogios nud the most destructive of mirth,
laughter ami happiness. It is not (lillloult
to provo Its fallacy. Let every man, wom?
an and child stand up against it, sing,
howl, if they cannot give forth melodious
sounds, laugh merrily and rojolco nt the
coming of day, like the birds, whoso first
thought upon waking on the appearance
of thu ilrst streak of dawn is to sing hap?
pily With pure joy for the return of anoth?
er day. Lot each bo as happy ns the birds
and mako everybody else happy, and thus
will this dotostiblo superstition retire to
t lie gluein of Its inception and be heard of
no more.
There is nn old superstition that tho left
limbs should always bo dressed first, but
not completely at one time. .Suppose that
the man who manifests bis indignation at
the assertion that ho is superstitious com?
mences, cautiously, as it were, without
lotting himself know that he is being
watched, with tho llrst garment he puts
on in the morning and learn what is t lie
rosult. How surprised ho will ho to know,
porhupsfor the first time, that his left arm
goes into his shirt first, his left leg In his
trousers llrst and his left sock on his left
foot first, to say nothing of continuing tho
observation as far as tho shoo. There aro
men who will change a garment which
has been put on unconsciously inside out,
but there uro many men who will not, for
their lives, risk the old superstition con
corning such an act. Kingshavo not dared
it.
Whoro is the man or hoy who, saving
only in a spirit of bravado, will knowing?
ly walk undor n laddorr Even if done in
a spirit of defiance of thu old bogle, how
expectantly and sometimes tremblingly ho
awaits the coming of the penally 1 Try it,
man, and if tho penalty of sorrow or loss,
disappointment or accident, does not re?
sult before tho day hits swept by you will
not tell of it. If it. conies to you, the rule
will bo followed, and yon will never cease
tell hi},' of it, this rare occurrence.
When a man returns to tho house after
once starting out, having perhaps forgot?
ten to kiss his wife, or something less im?
portant, his natural Inclination, without
special prompt ing, is to sit down before
starting again. It is said to bo bad luck
to omit this.
Even death mny result if a human being
should raise an open umbrella over his
head within doors, It Is said. Umbrella
makers havo been known to observe this
religiously.
People who llvo In tho country must bo
careful not to have around their homes n
white nosed cow, for should tho window
ho open and tills cow with the white pro?
boscis reach it over thu window sill in
search of Information or something dainty
there will be a death In tho family before
Ion?. So says the old saw.
Why must we give n penny for any
sharp Instrument presented by a friend?
Why do we seek a four leaved clover, anil
why must we pick up a dirty horseshoe
from tho street whenever we see it there?
Why do men nail the horseshoe over their
doors and ends down, too, invariably,
when the original superstition, of which
they seem to bp in ignorance, asserts that
it should be nailed up the other way, so as
to catch within its embrace the. luck which
descends?
There is no longer any use of talking
about the old bogie concerning one of 18
sitting at table dying within a year after
tho feast, for the Thirteen club exploded
that foolish old saw by sitting thus month
in and month out many years, many ta?
bles with 18 at each, and all lived out tho
dangerous year and nioro years added, hut
there aro still living men who will not
undertake n journey on a Friday, al?
though, after coming to sum tho matter
up, multitudes of men havo discovered
that Friday, of all days in tho week, is tho
most fortunate day for everything. And
it is rarely, now, that a criminal is exo
cuted on Friday in any pnrt of tho world,
thanks to that same Thirteen club, who
laugh at superstition, knife and fork In
hand. Yet there is not one of them who
has not 'his pet suporstltion, either con?
sciously or otherwise. The biggest, man i:i
tho club carries n horse chestnut in his
pocket to ward off rheumatism, and an?
other is a spiritualist. They all put on
tho loft sock first, and few of them dare
sing beforo breakfast. But they aro de?
serving of great praise for what they havo
done and must not weary in well doing.

1U a I no's Nominal loa.
Tho announcement of Blalno's nomina?
tion unleashed the latent insanity of 10,
1)00 people within the ball. Hats were
thrown high )yi ulr, umbrellas whirled
around the state shields torn down and
borne proudly upon filial breasts. Tho
crowd outside caught tho contagion and
soon a shrill chorus of t tig willst los could
bo heard from the Chicago river. Tho
climax was reached when some one
brought and laid upon the chairman's
desk iv floral helmet, with snowy pluino of
finest lmporlcd horsehair. The noise re?
doubled, men took off their coats and
waved them, women laughed, or cried or
