In parts of England there is superstition
to the effect that one must be seated while
the funeral cortege goes past.
The Chinamau of the Tonquin district
always pulls off his left sandal when he en-
counters party bearing a corpse through
the street
In ireland 1t is believed to he especially
unlucky to stand under an umbrella while
a funeral passes or to count the teams in
the procession.
In several states of the Union il is be
lieved that two weddings in one family
during the year will cause a funeral in the
tame family before the end of another year
Here in the United States few people Ike
10 cross the streets before funeral. and
men aud women apparently sensible in 9th.

their pockets for some little piece of metal
