There are superstitions throughout
all the COMMITTEES of AIarrland conc,
ing crossroads and running wafer.
Witches are supposed to make their
home at the crossing Of two roads and
to appear there At midnight One pc
culiar thing about witches is that they
cannot get across running water. and
q stream Of any sort always acts as
q protection to the nightly proWlcr,
who will follow along the bank of n
stream in preference to the road.
These are some Of the things which
are more generally believed in the
country around Washington and along
the eastern shore. Some Of the arti-
Giles Of the creed Of the superstitious
in that neighborhood are:
If you sweep your room at night,
you sweep away your wealth.
Never shake crumbs out of a win
dow after dark. They are supposed
to fall into the eyes Of the Lord and
to disturb the spirits Of the dead wh,
wander abroad at night.
Don't wash your hands in water IN
which eggs have been boiled. You
are liable to become covered with
warts.-Baltimore sun.

HER UP TO DATE ALBUM.
The Chicago CHRIS Travels Recorded
by photographs OF Herself

The Chicago girl that knows her
business-aud where is there one who
doesnt!-has an album or card case
devoted exclusively to a collection of
pictures of the one person whom She
thinks moro Of than anybody else in
the World-uamely, herself. There are
several laws regulating the collection
OF personal gallery of this kind. In
the first place, no two pictures shall
be alike; what is equally important. no
two shall be taken in the same town.
From glimpse at this second condl-
ton, 1t Is obvious that the young wo.
man who has q popular collection OF
her own photographs must be some
thing Of a traveller.
In order to give added interest to
this pursuit Of herself in miniature.
each photograph is stamped in violet
ink. with the name Of the town where
taken, the name Of the artist and the
date Of the sitting. There are also
margins for recording any other lnci-
dents connected with the occasion
that may be considered worthy of
note.
In this way the business Of photo
graph collecting is kept on a-system
attic methodical basis, and the book Of
photographs becomes an abridged bio
graphical history Of travels in an in
definite number Of chapters. It is
evident that the more pictures It con
talnS the more comprehensive VIII be
