SPONGE CAKE4ND LADY FINGERS.

There is one prejudice" says an
Englis hwoman now residing in this
country, that l have had to over
come since coming to America, which
was my antipathy to sponge cake and
lady fingers, as so often served over
here with ice cream. Ny associations
with them are of the gloomiest sort.
Lady fingers are served in all parts of
England, with light refreshments at
funerals, and usuallygo by the name
OF funeral biscuits >
In the Yorkshire dales, if you are
asked to funeral and are unable to
attend, they usually send you, with
memorial card piece of sponge cake
and several lady fingers, folded in Il
sheet of black-bordered paper and
fastened with big black seals. So
American hostesses, when they know
this, must not think it bad taste on
the part of their English guests if they
decline these cakes.'i

THE THIRTEEN, SUPERSTITION

OF all these minor superstitlons,
perhaps the most prevalent is the one
which is the subject of discussion in
this ;trticle-that of sitting thirteen at
the table. An idea of its prevalence
among all nations may be obtained
by adverting to the well-known fact
that the Turks have almost eXpunged
the number Q3) from their vocabulary;
that the Italians never use it in max
ing up the numbers for their lotteries,
and that the thirteenth card in any of
their games bears the figure of death
that no house in Paris bears the No.
Is, and that in the city the Quarter
Ziemes are recognized persons in So
ciety who hold themselves in readiness
to be invited to any dinner which
otherwise would have the fatal thir-
teen at the festal board. The thirteen
superstition, briefly stated, is, that if
thirteen persons, either by accident or
design, dine together at the same
table, one will die within year. It's
origin has been traced back to the old
Morse mythology, in which occurs the
story of the gods sitting down to
feast with Loke in the Valhalla. Bal
Qua was the thirteenth at the table and
had to die. 1t is hardly likely, though,
that.so obscure u tradition connected
with an ancient faith limited to COM
paratively small locality would be
able to spread its pernicious influence
SO broadcast over the earth The
popularity accepted origin may be tax
en- as the right one. The Last Supper,
which so Immediately preceded the
crucifxion of the Saviour, must always
have excited sentiment of awe in the
breasts of the faithful, which in an
unenlightened age easily degenerated
into a feeling of superstitious terror
Leonardo de Vinci, in his famous
painting on the wall in the refectory
of the Dominican convent of Santa
Maria-della Grecia, in Milan, unwit-
tingly, perhaps, gave the first impulse
to that superstition III the minds of
the ignorant masses who beheld the
twelve apostles and the Master at ia
BILE. To see before their eyes the fatal |
feast itself must have affected them |
far more profoundly than could the |
most eloquent sermon on the subject. |
In this picture, too, we see Judas in |
the act of spilling the salt; thus it is
fair to presume that both superstitions |
have practically the same origin.

Joe was Il youth of sue II exceeding
popularity with his uncles and aunts
that his mother was compelled to call
a halt on her too indulgent brothers
and sisters, who, she claimed, with
justice, were spelling the youngster
with their reckless generosity, and
rendering him needless of the value OF
property.
"Why, do you know" she said to
one of the too indulgent aunts, to
whom she was explaining her trouble,
"the little rascal received fifty presents
this very Christmas
