moisture and rot the wood. Give all
the iron parts good oiling and wash
the wood parts and give coat of
paint. This will shield thewood from
all atmospherical changes through
the winter. All the screws, nuts and
other parts that may be wanted to
move, or any part that wears bright
from rubbing in use should be oiled SO
that the atmosphere will not have
any effect. Implements treated this

FATE IN A TEAcUP.

Some Old Superstitionsi in Come c.
ton With the Fragrant Chinese
Herb.
Here are a few old superstitions re
garding the ever friendly cup that
cheers:
If while the tea is being made and
the lid, which has been removed to
pour IN the water, is forgotten, it is a
sure sign that some one will "drop in
to tea.''
II a single person happens to have
two spoons in his or her saucer it is
prediction that the fortunate Tor I'M
Fortunately drinker of that particular
cup will be married within year from
that date
If you put cream in your cup before
the sugar it will "cross your love-" so
be very careful.
II tea-stalk floats in the cup it is
called 'beau." and when this is seen
| unmarried woman should stir their tea
very quickly round and round and
round and then hold thespoon upright
in the center OF the cup.
If the 'sbeau" is attracted to the
spoon and clings to it, he will be sure
to call very shortly, if not the same
evening; but if the stalk goes to the
side OF the cup he will not come
Examine the tea leaves in your cup
if you are plebeian enough to boil
your tea instead OF drawing it in the
refined and dainty fashion, for lot
| Of leaves means money and fortune
| If you want to know how many
years will elapse before you may ex-
| pect to get married, balance your
| spoon on the edge of your cup, first
noting that it is perfectly dry, fill an
other spoon partly with tea, and,
holding it above the balanced spoon,
let the drops OF tea gather to the tip
OF the spoon and gently fall in the
bowl Of the one below. Count the
drops-each one stands for one year.
| 1t is a sign of fair weather if the
cluster Of small air bubbles formed by
the sugar collect and remain in the
center of the cup. If they rush to the
sides it will surely rain before night
| When the toast is made, three or
four thin slices of bread must be cut
the whole length OF the loaf and plac-
ed one over the other This done,
they must all be cut in half with one
sweep of the knife. II this is done by
a young woman, and the slices are not
severed clean through to the plate, she
will not be married within the year; if
the bread parts in two even heaps
she might as we'll order her trousseau
On no account must she take the last
piece Of toast or bread on the plate
unless she wishes to be an old maid
