LUCK IN OLD SHOES.
Curious Customs in Various Parts of the

Curious Customs in Various Parts OF the
World.
The Chinese value a pair of boots
which have been worn by an upright
magistrate, and the custom Of wishing
friend a ''happy FOOT is still OBJ
served all through Europe, says the
Newark Standard. The casual putting
on the left shoe on the right foot, put
ting it on uneven or crosswise, bursting
the latch or tie, lacing it wrong and
losing button are all bad signs. A
Yorkshire man will spit in his right
shoe before putting it on, when going
out on important business, to bring
luck, and many an English girl has
been known to hang her boots outside
Of the window on St. Valentines night
for love-luck. Prof. Black tells of a
singular superstition existing in Eng
land which insists that if the youngest
daughter of family marries first her
sisters must dance at the wedding with
out shoes, SO as to insure husbands for
themselves.
Old-shoe throwing is done for many
purposes. In Ireland the election of
person to almost any Office is concluded
by throwing an old shoe over his head.
The gypsies say:
Hurle after an old shoe.
I'll be merry what here do.
In the Isle of Man an old shoe is al
ways thrown after the bride, as well
as the groom, when leaving their
homes, and in the south the Oldest per-
son on the plantation, white or black,
always throws q shoe after any one
starting on long journey. It is said
that Nine. Patti and other women of
high standing on the stage preserve
most carefully the boots they wore at
their debut, which they consider lucky
to wear on the first nights of engage
1uents forever after.
