Omens of bad Luck.

Don't walk along the streets with
the head of your umbrella down
ward. 1f you do you will surely
experience bad luck.
Sneeze on Friday and evil luck
will befall you on that day. This
is never failing omen.
Put on your right shoe first in
the morning when arising if you
would have bad luck on that day.
If the first animal you see upon
leaving your home in the morning
is yellow dog or cat, beware.
This lisa bad omen, but its evil
may be in measure counterbal-
anced by taking two steps back
ward, and one sideways before
proceeding to your destination.
To see the full moon Immediately
upon leaving your home of II night
is not good sign. Usually it lisa
fore-runner of quarrels. Beware
of persons of tickle moods.
Should you happen to meet n
cross-eyed person at any time never
fail to say "Heehu" three times
with great rapidly; also cross your
fingers and expectorate thrice.
To meet a cross-eyed dog indi-
Gates that some calamity will ere
long hefall you.
To find an opal is n deadly omen.
1t means that you have picked up
some one else's misfortune, Better
let the stone lie, no matter what its
yalue.may be.
To find gold cross, such as is
worn at the end of watch chains, is
not regarded as good augury; it
means that you have added new
triSulotion to your own.
1t is unlucky to accidentally col
Tide with cripple. 1t should warn
you to be careful lest similaE, Podi-
ly ills befall you.
To cross between the carriages of
funeral procession is anything but
lucky. Walk ten blocks rather
than cut through a cortege.
