Many Common Superstitlons.

The world is indebted to folklore
for the preservation and transmission
from remote ages OF customs, usages,
rules, principles and precedents to an
extent OF which it is impossible to
form an adequate idea 1t goes back
to the primitive conceptions which
have been taken up into the thought of
civilized Nations and interviewer into
their religion and philosophy. There
are yet those who believe in unlucky in
fuences of the moon, in unlucky days,
such as Friday; in unlucky numbers,
such as thirteen. In numbering the
state room doors of first class steam
ships and the apartment doors of lead
ing hotels the fateful number thirteen
is studiously omitted. The horse chest
nut, the rabbits foot and the potato
are still carried in the pockets of the
credulous. That crescent-shaped pro-
lection against evil spirits, the horse
shoe, is still nailed over doorways.
Charms and amulets and talismans are
still worn, the fashionable form day
being the four-leayed clover. The
mascot is not the exclusive possession
OF the gambler, nor is it's antithesis,
the voodoo, the Inheritance of Creole
communities only, while the records
OF the stage show that actors still have
their Jonahs. The witches cauldron
something more than fading men,
ory. Dreams and premonitions have
not lost their alleged significance.
Spectral illusions are still perceptible.
Still clings the impression that "com-
ing events cast their shadows before"
The horoscope still claims bearing
upon human destiny. The divining
rod is still used in search of subter.
ranean springs or metalliferous de-
posts. st. Swithin is still clerk of
the weather for forty days after July

the mistletoe. The asserted contigu-

An Odd Prelate.

By the death of Mgr. Dusserre,
Archbishop of Algiers, the French
Church loses very remarkable per-
sonality. He had not only been a
soldier before he entered the Church,
but had fought in several campaigns.
His manners were singular mixture
OF the sacred and profane. He enjoyed
the company of soldiers, and especially
OF young officers, whom he would fire,
quently invite to dine with him, and
afterwards, throwing off his long
soutane, amuse himself and them with
fencing and broad-sword exercises. in
which he excelled. This estima5le
prelate and whols-hearted man was
greatly beloved in Algeria by all
classes and creeds. He succeeded to
the Archbishopric of Algeria in 1892
