LUCK IN ODD NUMBERS.
superstitions Of Modern Gamblers Which
Are "as Old as the Hills"

Are "as Old as the Hills"
If there is one active principle that
enters into gambling, it is superstition,
and for almost every man that hunts the
elusive dollar over the desolate waste Of
the green baize cloth, or on the race
track, or in any Of the other multitude
nous ways or places that one may lay
siege to alluring fortune there is a sep
arate fancy.
Jack Mcdonald, one of the best known
boolmakers Of America, believes that
he is most successful in those wears
which are indicated by odd numbers,
and if you are doubtful of the truth Of
it he will offer you figures to prove it.
"Carley b, " as Bookmaker Woolf is
best known, has steadfast belief in
49," and after he has selected a horse
to bet upon he will place an extra heavy
wager on him if he discovers that he is
numbered SO" ON tho programme.
Several superstitious betting men at
the Morris park races few years ago
noticed the coincidence that the thir-
teenth day of the meeting fell upon
June 13, and they straightway sought
out horse numbered "13" on the card.
They found one and bet upon him, and
to make the coincidence most strange
he won.
That this belief in luck as applied to
certain numbers is as old as our philoso-
ply is shown by the fact that centuries
before the Christian era the Pythagorens
and Platonists, who represented all
movements and phenomena of nature by
numbers, invented the science of aritl-
nomancy, consisting Of the use of magic
al squares and applying occult powerl
to numbers. On the combinations Of GER
tain numbers depended systems of divi-
nation, and particular virtues were as
cribed to numbers accordingly as they
wero odd or even.
There's luck in odd numbers is a
saying as old as the hills. AS ancient q
writer as Virgil says the gods themselves
esteemed the numbers odd, for in the
eighth eclogue he wrote:
Around his waxen image FIRST / wind
Three woolcn hllets of three colors Joined;
Thrice round his thrice devoted head,
Which round the sacrcd altar thrice is led
Unequal numbers please the gods.
The Chinese have similar ideas. With
them heaven is odd and earth even, and
the numbers 1, 8, 8, z, 8 belong to heav-
en-, while the even digits are of the
earth earthly.
So it is little cause for wonder that
our modern gamblers stick to their be-
lief that fortune abounds in odd num-
bers only. New York Herald

Reformed Geometry.

Almost 100 years ago two men set
out from Virginia to visit the Scioto
valley, of the beauty and fertility OF
which they had heard alluring reports.
On the third night they reached Clarks-
burg, where they put up with a man
who appeared to be honest, but old fash
toned and illiterate.
''Can you tell us how far it is to Ma
rietta and what sort of road we shall
find?" asked one of the travellers.
EYES," answered the host; 'that is
exactly what can do, for 1 was appoint
ed one of the viewers TO lay out the
road and have just returned from the
performance Of that duty"
''That is fortunate. What do you call
the distance?"
well, the distance ON straight line,
which we first ran, was rs miles, but on
our way back we discovered and mark
ed another line which was much near
err
The two travellers had each spent some
years in the study of surveying and were
more or less amused at the idea of a
line shorter than a straight line be-
tween two given points
However, the next morning they took
the route which their informant had
pronounced the shorter, and true enough
they found his statement correct, for
the crooked road went round the hills,
while the straight one went over them,
and the distance round was less than
the distance over. Youth s Companion.

The jocund spring, when refrigerators
resume their Importance in the house
hold, has come and even the best house
keepers need to be reminded Of the me-
cessity for keeping them cleaner than
any other thing in the house.
Warm food should never be placed in
the ice chest, because it absorbs the
odors and havors of other foods. Butter
and onions should never be placed in
the same compartment. Neither should
milk be put side by side with strongly
favored dishes.
Every day the ice box should be
washed out and thoroughly dried. Many
housekepeers keep the ice from melting
too rapidly by wrapping it in wooden
cloth. If this is done, the cloth must bt
fresh, clean and dry each morning.
Once week everything should be re-
moved and the different parts washed
with hot water and soda. The racka
should be removed, washed, dried and
put in the sun for some time. Sometimes
the entire refrigerator should be rolled
into the yard, tipped up, propped open
and thoroughly summed. The waste pipes
.hould be cleaned every day or SO with a
flexible rod. New York World.

Gifts at Baptism.

Gifts to infants on their baptism are
Of ancient origin. Formerly the spon-
sors generally offered gilt spoons to the
child. These spoons were called apostle
spoons, because the figures of the 10
apostles were carved at the top of the
handles. Rich sponsors gave the COM
plete set of ~, while for those who were
not so opulent four was considered the
proper number, and poor sponsors would
content themselves with Offering one.
In the latter case the handle OF the spoon
generally exhibited the figure of any
saint in honor Of whom the child receiv-
ed its name. 1t is in, allusion to this
custom that, when Cranmer processes
himself to be unworthy of being spon-
sor to the young princess, Shakespeare
makes the king reply:
''Come, come, my lord, you'd spare your
spoons.'
