The Thirteen Superstition.

The inevitable 13 superstition came
up in company Of which I was one the
other day. In my own experience that
foolish superstition has been knocked
out so often that I rather enjoy sitting
down to dinner with 13. Once I sat at
table with Sir Arthur Sullivan, the
composer, as host. There were 13 COW
ers, it was the 18th Of May, and the oc-
casion was the thirteenth performance
of Sullivan and Gilbert's "Iolanthe. I"
Of course nothing came of it. Another
time I dined with the Thursday club Of
Philadelphia at roadside inn on the
Wissahickon It was discovered that
there were Is at table, and one Of the
party being superstitious the landlord
was asked to come in and make the
fourteenth. He did so, and the result
was that he and not one Of the 13 died
before the year was out This is the
nearest I ever came to having verifica-
tion Of the superstition within my OBJ
servation. Major Handy in Chicago

Sarcastic Postal Regulations.

A postmaster in small country town

vent for his humor at the same time by
posting up new set of rules in his Office.
They were;
Ink bottles may be corked when sent by
post
It is unsafe to post apple or fruit trees
with the fruit on them.
AS all postmasters are expert linguista,
the addresses may be written in Chinese
or Hebrew.
Persons are not compelled to lick their
own postage stamps and envelopes-the
postmaster will do this for them.
Persons are earnestly requested not to
send post cards with money orders attach
ed, as large sums are lost in that way.
1t is particularly requested that lovers
writing to each other will please confine
their gushing rhapsodies to the inside of
the envelope.
Nitroglycerin must be forwarded at the
risk Of the sender. If it should blow up
In the postmaster's hand, he cannot be
held responsible.
When watches arc sent through the post,
the sender should put notice on the out
side-the postmasters will then wind and
keep them In going order.
When sending money order in let
ter, always write full and explicit direc-
tioas tn the same communication, so that
any person getting the letter can draw the
money.
When letters are received bearing no d.
rectipn, the persons for whom they are in
tended will please signify the fact to the
postmaster, that they may at once be for-
vatded. ed.-London Tit-Bits.

II you want to amuse yourself make
your friends believe you are extraordinarily
gifted and do little praoticing in mental
arithmetic, get familiar with the manner
Of doing the following and you viii never
fail to discover the age of person and the
month in which he was born:
First you ask him to go 10 the other
end Of the room to prevent your seeing
what he is going to write. Then you ask
him to put down the number Of the month
in which he was born and multiply it by
2; then add 8 to the sum and multiply the
latter by 30, add his age to the quotient;
then deduct S65 and add 115 to the differ
ence
Suppose he is 40 years of age and was
born In February, the computation might
stand thus: 2x2-4, plus SO, x50-450,
plus 49-400 minus 866-134, plus 115-
$40. The last two figures indicate the age
viz, 40, and the first figure, 2, February,
the second month Of the year.
You simply ask the person to state the
result Of the calculation and then declare
that he was born in February and Is 40
years OF age.-Golden Days
