Sonie Old Superstitions, Not All of Which Have Entirely Disappeared. We are content today to throw rice at a newly married couple or an old shoe or two, and the bride tosses her, bouquet among the girls to in- form her who is. lucky enough to catch it that she will be the next one married, but wheat is.really the thing to throw because the evil spirits hate the color yellow above all things. If white grain like rice is used, it attracts them, and to be- come efficacious should be colored yellow with turmeric or some simi- lar dye. Ghosts and the things that bring ill luck hate leather, so old shoes are proper, except in those in- stances when it was suggested that the guests throw the carriage and let the couple drivé away in the shoe. Buta shoé under your pilisw is a radical cure for nightmare, and cramps in bed can be averted by placing a slipper upside down at the foot of the couch. The use of trunk straps, slippers, leather whips and the like on small boys also prevents the approach of new spirits of mis- chief and drives off theold ones. It is well for the bridegroom to sew garlic, cloves and rosemary in his waistcoat before the ceremony. No spirit gets depraved enough tostand that combination. The route at a wedding must be arranged so that everything is done as the sun travels or as the hands of a watch go round. Anciently there used to be a sacred fire about which the bride and groom danced in this manner. It is all right enough to find a four leaved clover, a horseshoe or the like, but mere picking them up is not lucky. It must be an assured fact that the finding is a thing of pure chance. Then as the object is taken in hand you must say: ‘‘I do not pick up this horseshoe (or four leaved clover, as the case may be), but I pick up good luck. May it never leave me!’’ Horseshoes are useful for more things than one, A crooked nail from one is a sure cure for fits, or, if placed in the nest of a sitting hen, wil] keep her from being frightened off by thunder.. Made 'into a ring and worn on the third finger of the left hand it cures rheu- matism. But it cannot be insisted upon too strongly that all these things must be found. You cannot buy luck. . Mirrorsare good things to have-— if they remain whole. It is always | wise to have a little one set in a ring, broochor bracelet. You know, evil things are unable to withstand a sight of themselves. Ifthey catch the slightest glance of their ugly | visages, they flee for their very ex- | istenco. This makes a barber shop | a lucky place to have your hair cut! in, but the barber must be particular | to go to the top of a hill with all his’ clippings and let them he blown, away, else something undesirable | may find the hair and work you al mischief, There are some barbers | in Chicago who are known to be; careless about climbing bills for this | purpose. Holding a mirror in front | of u man when he is sleeping will | put a step toany hailstorm if per- sisted in, and, by the way, the un- | luckiest thing in the world is to steal from a blacksmith.- Many a) man has been known to be defeated on election day because in his boy- | hood he took things from thesmithy without permission, and it is also unfortunate to make any disposition | of the parings of your finger nails except to bury them. The evil eye is an ancient institu- tion and one worthy of regard. The animus behind the owner of the bad eye is alwaysenvy. He sees some- thing he wants and looks askance at it, and after that the thing never has any luck. Then, when the evil eyed one sees that, she cannot wish for it, and her power is gone. In some places this is done by putting a little piece of black court plaster or something similar on the face. Lampblack on the eyelids is famous, though pains should be taken not to make it look like long eyelashes. In Chicago the favorite cosmetic for this purpose is soot—what the Brit- ish call ‘‘blacks.”’ Thes@ are gen- ‘erally worn, and it has been erudite- ly surmised that this is one reason why the city and its inhabitants have such good luck. No envious visitor has ever been able to make the evil eye work through the smoke | nuisance,—Chicago Times-Herald.

XVI and Marie Antoinette."’ The author, Miss Anna L, Bicknell, says: It was a dark, misty, January morning. The presence of the two soldiers precluded the possibility of conversation; the priest therefore handed his breviary to the king and pointed out appropriate psalms, which the king read devoutly and with perfect calmness, to the evi- dent astonishment of the gendarmes. The shops were shut along the way, and crowds of armed citizens stood on the pavement as the coach, pre- ceded and followed by eavalry and artillery, went slowly through the streets, where all the windows were closed. Lines of troops stood on each side, while drums beat solemn- ly, as if for a military funeral. As the coach passed along the boulevards near the Porte St. Denis, afew young men rusbed forward, waving swords and crying loudly, “Come, all who would save the king!’ There was no response, and they were obliged to flee for their own lives. They were pursued and several were arrested, with fatal consequences, The king, absorbed in prayer and religious meditation, had not even perceived the,vain at- tempt to effect his deliverance. The coach had at last reached the Rue Royale and the Place de la Rev- olution, where the crowd was im- mense. The scaffold stood a little to the left of the place, where the obelisk now stands, but nearer the Champs Elysees, toward which the guillotine was turned. A mass of troops formed a square around the fatal spot. The coach stopped at a distance of afew paces. The king, feeling that the motion had ceased, , looked up from his prayer book, saying quietly, ‘‘We have reached the place, I think.” One of the executioner’s assistants opened the door. The king earnest- ly commended the priest who ac- companied him to the care of the gendarmes, and then stepped from the coach. Three men surrounded him and tried to take off his coat. He calm- ly pushed them back and removed | it himself, opening his shirt collar ; 46 and preparing his neck for the AX. SC The executioners, who seemed at ;& first disconcerted and almost awed, then again came around him, hold- ing a rope. | The king Urew back quickly, ex- dlaiming: ( - ‘“What do you want to do?” “To tie your Hands,” The king exclaimed indignantly: “Tiémy hands! No, I will not sub- mit to this. not-attempt to tie me; you shali pot: doit!’ ‘dhe executioners persis cd | and spoke loudly. The king looxed toward the Abbe Edgeworth, who at once saw the impossibility of re- sistance, and said gently, “Sire, this last insult will only provide a fresh po it of resemblance between your mi. osty and the God who will be yOur recumpense. "’ “he king looked up to heaven. *Assuredly, his example alone could inc: ce me to submit to such an in- dig. ity.’ Then holding out hig hands: ‘‘Do as you please. I will drink the cup to the dregs.” His hands were tied, and with the assistance of his confessor he as-j| cended the steps of the scaffold, When he the abbe, walked firmly across the ecaffold, silenced the drums by a glance of authority, and then in aj voice so loud that it was audible on the opposite side ot the Piace ce la hevolution, he utt these words: “T die. inuocent et au the eimes MHplved (okie, dt orgave Whose wie Lava caused Loy Goats, bau Lt pray (aod that the biced You ale apout ww eded lay beves tidal ON bY nce,’ 4 "‘Vmwere Wes a BIuGCcer tliat ran througn the crowd iseu great wave, but at the word cf coiumund the fongved roll, and be heard, Grums beat aw or the vuiee Caluid o foapes ahe King, foany taunt asl aiuriler ad- aress to the crowd wowd be iruit-, legs, turned to guillotine and ince on the fatal; Was tartened. iit ond cry ard the ax fell.
