Sweeping guperstitions.

In Sweden, II. Is regarded as an un-
lucky thingto enter the door just as the
dirtmade fn3sweeping reaches it. Cell
bacy awaits the unfortunate person do
ing SO. The English housewife will not,
however, sweep the dirt out of the front
door, fearing to sweep away tho fortune
of. the house. A Venetian superstition
Is that the young girl across whose feet
dirt is swept will never get married.
In England, when signs announce the
coming Of stranger. the floor must be
swept, but. here again 1t Is unlucky to
sweep at night. Blossomed broom isnot
to be used. .''--N
In Westphalia, the house is carefully
swept at Shroveide with new broom,
which is then hung up over the door and
preserved. In some places in Germany
q broom is burned in the fires kindled on
May day. At others, people go up hill
on Walpurgis night, taking with them
all the old brooms they can collect and
burning them. Czechs do the same ON
st. Johns day. -
The broom also possesses healing
power. If cows udders have been
caused to swell By weasels, it is con-
sidered sufficient, in one district Of Eng
land, to stroke them three times with'a
broom, which is then silently laid under
the grain bin.-Cor. st. Louis Globe.
