Superstftions of Brave People.

If one will take the trouble to go
through the names of most OF the
bravest people in history, he will ind
that they nearly all suffered from some
superstition or other. Napoleon Bona
parte was simply eaten by superstl-
tons, and so was the duke of MARI
borough. Literary men have always
been VIGOROUSLY superstitious, from
the days of DIR. johnson, who would go
back half a mile if he remembered that
he had omitted to touch any one OF
the lampposts on his daily walk, to
Dean Swift, who would never change
a garment if he found that he had
put it on inside out, and Lord Byron,
who would get up and leave dinner
party instantly if anybody split the
salt. Statesmen have not been eX-
empt from superstitions either. Lord
Beaconsfeld would always take espe-
cial care to enter the house with his
right foot foremost when he was going
to make big speech. Mr.. Parnell had
strong prejudice against sitting in a
room with three candles. William Pitt
would return home at once, however
important his business, if he met a
cross-eyed man in the street, while Sir
Robert Peel would always make the
sign against the evil eye with his fin
gers and thumb under similar circum-
stances.
