THE NUMBER 4 HTRTEER.

W l4t
The Euemiag Post has an article on the
subject of the superstition that If thirteen
people dine together one of the number will
die before the year expires. g People con-
vinced against their viii are of the same opiu-
ion still, /" and while ninety In hundred may
affect to laugh at this superstition, not one of
them would willin. " make one of that
tabooed number The article published about
the death Of DIR. Fairbank, of London, after
partaking of a dinner under these eiicuni--
stances, will do more to affect the multitude
than hundred accounts of dinners of thir-
teen not followed by fatality, II they could
be found. which Is as improbable as to find
hundred Catholic marriages occurring on
the last Friday of Lent. The E0eni.g Post
says that Mr.. Reid, of the Tribune, once
dined where there were thirteen persons at
the table, and the fact being noted, no made
list of the persons present, and although
the dinner occurred good many years ago,
there is not one of it's guests who is not in
better health to-day than he was at the time
when the thirteen dined together. But, says
the Post - Men are weak and foolish, and
superstition is stronger than logic, and cow
ardice ia commoner quality than philoso-
ply" The Post very sensibly says that this
superstition ought to be combated by every
sensible person until its head shall be bruised
to death, and so it should but 1t belongs to a
few others which have become constitutional,
and 1t Is next to an impossibility to shake
them off. They are all at war with common
sense. DR.. Fairbank would have died In pre-
cisely the same way had he dined with ten or
twenty, or had he not dined at all. People
drop of suddenly every day in the year who
never dined, thirteen at a table, in their lives,
and fortune is quite as likely to follow first
sight of the new moon over the right sh3ul-
der as death to come as a consequence OF thus
dining. The writer of this has been one of
a company of thirteen who have dined to-
gether twice each year. Christmas and New
Year's--for the past three years, and they are
all living, and in increased health.
