THIRTEEN AT DINNER-Concerning the
curious superstition about thirteen at dinner,
We have Just come across this singular mel
dent IN a recent English book: Some years
since, poor Albert Smith gave supper OF
thirteen that discredited the superstition in
a remarkable manner. Himself on the point
Of starting TO China, he entertained twelve
friends who were bound for the Crlmea, to
encounter the per;ls of waras military officers
or as journalists reporting the incidents OF
the conflict. Deeming it IN the highest de-
gree improbable that they would meet again
on English ground when they had once
started for the scene of danger, the twelve
guests met their host with light hearts, and
laughed about the fate which some OF them
would of course encounter IN aiew months.
Strangely enough, al twelve returned from
war IN perfect health, and supped again at a
table of thirteen with the humorous lecturer.
