Peas and beans are very important
plants in folklore, and there are many
superstitions connected with them.
Peas were favoribe instruments for divi-
nation. A pea pod with nine peas was
equal to wishssone when placed above
the door. In Northanrptonshire it is ac-
counted generally lucky to find nine peas
in a pod, or kid. In Meci1lenburg, Ger
many, it is believed that peas must be
sown early on Wednesday or Thursday,
or the birds will carry them off, If
they are fed to hens, it issaid that fowls
will lay well. They must not however,
be eaten during the Christmas holidays
nor until after Twelfth day.
Beans were mysterious in antiquity.
Pliny says they contain the souls of the
dead. The Romans used them in reli-
gious ceremonies. They were used in
Greece as ballots, and Pythagoras desir-
ed his disciples not to Glove beans

phrase, You don1 know BEANS. prob

Frank Ruff's Description of Dublin and
London Shaving Shops.
In Dublin the first class shops are
managed in the same way as the lead
ing shops of London, and most of the
first class journeymen BARRIERS hail from
London, and they are paid what are
called London wages-that is, 30 shil-
lings week-but a barber in order to
get those wages must also be ladies
hairdresser. The cheaper shops only
pay their journeymen from ID to 20
shillings week. The first class shops
charge sixpence-that is, ~ cents-for
shaving and the same price for hair cut
ting and shampooing. The cheaper
shops charge only twopence, or cents,
for shaving, hair cutting or shampoo
ing. Some shops in Cork only charge
penny for each. The first class shops
here turn out customer just as well as
the BARRIERS in America, if not little
better, but would not let the cheaper
BARRIERS shave my dog.
Some of the finest shops in Dublin
have our old fashioned chairs, and some
| have just an upholstered chair, with
headpiece attached. The cheap shops,
| most of them, just use a wooden chair,
and the barber wears dirty apron, but
i'll the finer shops they wear white coats
and clean white aprons. London has a
great many shops, but there are only a
few really good shops. Most of the bar
Der shops here are called toilet clubs,
and they are all located on the second
