QUEER THINGS IN POLAND.
Superstition Plays II Leading Role
With Young Men nnd Naidens

1t is customary in Polish villages to
strew straw over the Christmas eve
supper tables and for the young people,
blindfolded or in the daAl, to pick out
each a straw therefrom, Should the
straw be green the lucky maiden ex-
pIcts to wear a bridal wreath or the
youth to lead a blushing bride to the
altar during the approaching year, but
dried straw foretells to either long
waiting possibly even until death.
In other rural Polish districts on the
"Christ's eve' wine, beer. and water
are placed by a girl between two can
dies on a table. She then retires into
corner or an adjoining room to watch
the result reflected in mirror hung
for this purpose. II az the clock strikes
midnight man enters and drinks the
wine she is happy, for her wooer will
be rich. Should he drink the beer, she
may be content, for the wooer will be
well to do. If the water be chosen, her
husband will be very poor. But if as
the clock strikes no man comes to her
table the anxious maiden shivers with
more than midnight terror, believing
that she Is. doomed to he early the
bride of death.
Poland is peculiarly rich in these
observances, spreading themselves
throughout the year, both sexes being
equally snperstitious in this respect
On New Years eve the young unmar
ried men place themselves before a fire
and, bending down, look beneath their
legs. Should woman appear in the
background ii Is the one they Will
marry, but If they see shape as of a
coffin 1t forebodes for them death dur
ing the year close ut hand.

his heirs Instituted. suit for 100000,
alleging that 1t was through the care
lessness OF the defendant that the
young man met his death. The wire
causing his death is the cable used for
the purpose OF raising and lowering
