ABOUT BABIES.
English Superstition Of New Born Infants.
New York S.ar.l

NEW fOrk Star.
According to a Yorkshire notion,
a newborn infant should be laid
first in the arms of u maiden before
any one touches it; and in some
places the infants right hand is
left unwashed in order that he may
gather riches. 1t is, too, considered
very important by many that an
infant should go ND in the world
before 1t goes down. Thus, In
Cleveland, says Mr.. Henderson, il
q child should be born in the top
story Of o house, for want of u
flight Of stairs, one OF the gossip
will take it in her arms and mount
o table, chair or chest of drawers
before she carries 1t down stairs.
In the north of England, when an
infant for the first Time goes out of
the house, 1t is presented with an
egg. some salt and little loaf Of
bread, aud occasionally u small
piece of money-these gifts being
supposed to insure that the child
shall never stand in need of the COM
mon necessaries of life. In the East
Riding OF Yorkshire a few matches
are added to light the child to heav-
en-. 1t was, too, in former times,
customary, and the practice Is not
yet obsolete, to provide Iarg che ese
and cake and cut them at the birth
of the child. These were called
"the grooming cake and cheese
and were distributed among. all the
neighbors.
In Yorkshire, this cake is term
ed the "pepper cake" aud in some
localities the "sickening cake" Il
Is the sourse of u species Of diviua
ton, for being cut into small piece
by the medical man, it is divided
among the unmarried OF the femal,
sex, under the name of dreaming
bread" Each one takes a piece
places 1t on the foot of the lef
stocking, and throws 1t over tn
right shoulder. This being done
they must retire to bed backwards
without uttering a word, and thOs
who are lucky enough to fall aslee
before midnight are favored with
sight of their future husband II
their dreams.
