A Happy Foot.

The custom Of wishing a friend "a
happy foot" is to be found In all parts
of Europe, and it goes TO show how
much superstition is connected with
our footgear. 1t Is to be assumed that
the well fitting boot or shoe, which en-
ables a person to walk in comfort, Is
symbolical of happiness.
The accidental placing Of the right
shoe on the left foot, putting shoe on
awry or the breaking of a lace is a
bad sign from the popular point Of
view. TO tie the shoe of another indi-
vidual Is indicative Of humility and
lowly position, yet the Chinese wor-
ship the shoes of an upright judge.
There is a curious superstition in
some parts OF England which advises
that when the youngest daughter mar
ries before her sisters the latter should
dance at her wedding without shoes in
order to insure husbands for them,
selves. On st, Valentines eve, accord
ing TO n similar custom, girls should
hang their shoes outside the window If
they wish TO secure lovers.
Some actresses carefully preserve the
boots they wore when they scored their
first success aud wear them on all i'm.

feast. One OF the turkey eggs lay
alone by plate and the rest were in
dish Oh the other side of the table.
In the csnter stood a large water jug,
and right here the willy serpent slipped
up. After swallowing the lonesome
egg, he started for the main supper
and in his artless manner crawled
through the handle Of the jug. 1t was
rather tight fit, and he had to stop
about half way through on account of
the egg, which enlarged him some
what. So, stretching forward, he bolt
ed another egg and thereby fastened
himself.
On each side of the jug handle was
an egg OH his inside, and he could
move neither backward nor forward,
practically fiveted in position. He was
soon found in this peculiar situation
by the cook, who speedily killed him.

What is a "Lich Gate ."

A Itch gate is shed, generally Of oak,
over the entrance Of a churchyard, be.
meath which the bearers paused when
bringingJa body for interment.
Here the clergyman met the body
and read the introductory part of the
burial service as he preceded the funer-
al train into the church. Examples of
old lich gates are still to be seen in
many country churchyards. In Wales
they are more modern and are usually
built of stone.
Some Of the old Itch gates are formed
with one wide door turning on cen
tral pivot and self closing by means of
a rude pulley wheel in the roof and a
stone weight inclosed in an iron frame,
primitive but effective piece of ma
chinery.
In Herefordshire they are also called
"scallage," or ''scallenge gates" 81. eli

Itch, a corpse; hence the north country

CHASED THE SUPER,
The Exciting Race between Renn
ana tho Stage Hand.

Some strange tales have been told by
old timers In the stage business about
the Keans, both the elder and the last
to be seen on the American stage
Some have said that hard study made
them little wrong at times. and some
Of the things they did certainly looked
queer.
1t Is told by an old New Orleans
horseman. who is here from the Cres.
cent City, that when Kean the youn-
ger was playing there he nearly scared
q super to death and came near pink.
Ing" him.
1t was in "Richnrd ILL.," in the scene
where he sees the ghosts. The stage
manager was a bit the worse for drink
and determined to have some fun. He
did not like Kean, as he was hard
man behind the scenes. Among the
supers was a raw Irish lad who had
never seen a stage before. The man
nger told this fellow that If he would
run across the stage when he gave him
the tip he would stand to earn 81. The
poor fellow was broke, and a two spot
looked to him like a national bank.
He agreed, and the stage manager gave
him a gaudy oilcloth banner bearing
these words. Smoke General Jackson
Cigars"
1t was nearly a panic that this Irish
lad started. He ran across the stage,
and when Kean saw him he was furi-
Gus. He made a lunge at the unfor-
tunate super with his sword, and, as
the rag" came whizzing down to a
hurry call, he chased the poor standard
bearer of the stage, down the passage
and to the street. For two blocks he
followed him in his Richard costume,
and finally the super escaped down a
dark alley.
What effect it had upon the show the
turfman does not say, but certainly it
vas only the super's agility of foot that
saved him.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
