THE ETHICS OF LUCK.
Arbitrary DoGmas Take the Place OF
a Logical Basis Among
Believers,

On the belief in luck have augurs,
divinators, fortune tellers, all traded
from time immemorial to the pres
ent age, says Chambers journal. They
calculate" the incalculable, and, nee
essarily, arbitrary dogmas take the
place OF logical basis on which to work
out their schemes. They rely on the
luck of odd numbers; in them the i'm.
perlal phantom--either in birth or
chance or death--loyes to reside. Sew.
en- has always been a number to con-
1ure with, and the seventh child of Il
seventh child born in the seventh
month comes clad in a mysterious pan
oply OF foreknowledge absolute; while
nine was at one place and period looked
upon as a symbol of Deity. Great men
will have their lucky day or month
as one of the Caesars tsaye his name
to the eighth month-that in which
the most fortunate events of his life
had occurred. The blood of a great
family, like that of the Stuarts or the
Bourbons, for instance, is said to carry
with 1T, even in its collateral branches,
the taint of that ill-success, ill-health,
which is summed up as ill-luck. Ger
tain gems, such, for instance, as opals.
are esteemed as stones of ill-omen--
talismans reversed. It's not of course.
that their beauty is brittle. but that
they carry with them ill-luck to their
Wearers or owners. The truth of this
superstition is demonstrated by the
violent deaths which have befallen un-
lucky opal wearers. Have they not
snecumbed to the ill-luck attending a
gem, to gain possession of which a
fellow-creatnre has not hesitated to
shed their blood? No doubt ii is very
unlucky to awaken the coyetousness
OF robber and murderer.

HIGHLY CIVILIZED ANCIENTS
contents OF Long Buried Tombs Show
Fine Work of EARLY
Artisans.

The middle-aged man who has ex-
plored life to weariness and whom nov
els will no longer stir may find his
sense of mystery and wonder excited
anew by the account of discoveries in
buried Egypt, says the London Out
look. Prof. Flinders Petrie, who has
devoted his life to exploration of the
soil and research into the history OF
that ancient land, completed last week
series of highly instructive lectures
at the Royal institution. Long-bnried
tombs of ancient kings have been dis
severed and explored, and. although in
nearly all cases these have been pre-
s1ously pillaged in the Roman age,
enough of the contents remain un-
broken or overlooked till now to a ford
ground Tor reconstructing, in outline
at least, wonderful and unsuspected
eiviiization. When we are shown, for
example, specimens of goldsmith's
work dating from 4,750 years before
the Christian era, which have never
been surpassed since in technical skill.
working of designs, variety of form
and perfection of soldering. we are
sobered somewhat in our belief that
the process of time means progress
and that the present is the best and
noblest era of civilization. We are
proud, for instance, of the products
of modern steam spinning and weav-
ing. Yet the linen woven 5000 years
ago was finer in thread and closer in
web than cur finest eambric.
