\ BREAD sUPERo1,lllUNs. I
Peculiar Ones astili Prevail In Rural

Z -
There are some curious superstitions
about baking bread in the course of re-
ligious seasons which seem SO easy to
prove fallaciOus that one has difficulty
In understanding why they are still be-
lteVed. One would think that some
day mistake would occur and the
discovery be made that there was no
force in them. Probably, owing to the
constitution of the believers, the fail
ure Of the expected result would be
ascribed to some supernatural cause
rather than the real one, aud the be-
lief would be continued. Most of these
superstitions are found in France, the
greatest bread eating country on the
globe.
For instance, in upper Brittany
bread baked on Good Friday. 1t is de-
clared, becomes black. In Charante 1t
is held that he who eats of bread
baked ON All Souls day will become
diseased The flames will burst out Of
the oven in ones face II bread is
baked on the feast of St Nicholas, say
the good people at Aube, SO 1t is not
done. In Burgundy the people believe
that IL bread is baked in the course Of
Rogation week all bread baked during
the remainder of the year will turn
moldy The Inhabitants of the Black
mountains believe the same thing. The
Sicilians refuse to bake on Good Fri
day, because they fear that in some
manner they will burn the Saviour.
The beliefs which other Europeans
used to have in early times demon
strate how illogical is all this supersti-
ton. These used to think that bread
baked on Good Friday would not grow
moldy, and the hot cross bun was in
Guided in this belief. Some one has
shrewdly suggested that the spice pre-
served them A piece of bread baked
on this holy day. perhaps because of
its holy character, was supposed to
have miraculous powers IL preserved.
The house containing 1t would not
catch Are 1t was useful for prevent
ing whooping cough and If fed to cat
tie Ill of certain diseases would cure
them The natural deduction from all
this Is that in one country bread baked
ON certain day will work Ill and that
baked In another on the same day will
work good. which means that bread
baked on that day is about the same as
bread baked on any other.

and modern, exhibits the greatest vari-
ETY. in the matter of coins. The earli-
est money on record, about 1000 B. O.,
consisted Of shells and cowries. The
cowry was used for small change,
while tortoise shell and purple cypraea
shells, the latter ranging In size from a
few inches to a foot and a half In
length, represented money Of higher
value. A decrease In the supply of
shells and increasing prosperity called
for more handy medium of exchange,
and cash, the coin with square hole
in the center, came into existence and
remains in use to this day.
Among the earlier Chinese coins was
one Of porcelain about three-quarters

Of an inch thick, bearing the legend

DAcHsHuNDs.
A. Fighters Of Badgers They Have No
Canine Euuals

Canine EQuals.
The good natured, philosophic Ger
man dachshund has always been re-
gardeds as more or less OF q joke in
this country. Even in the fatherland
he Is astaple for Testing. His elongat-
ed body. his crooked legs. his animated
tail his resemblance to sausage
who could fail to make some sort of
joke about a dachshund?
But the dachshund has very seri.
Gus side and work in life
'sDacbshund" means badger dog"
Now, the badger is an animal that,
generally speaking. needs neither game
laws nor sympathy, because he is able
to take care of himself and fight his
own battles. Naturalists place him as
q link between the bear family and
the weasels. He has about all the
strenuous characteristics Of both, with
some OF his own in addition.
Badger battling was formerly bar
barous rustic sport that drew trade to
country inns and taverns. A badger
was placed in a barrel, and the man
whose dog could bring him out got a
prize. a single dog seldom did it. A
full pack might sometimes The
badger is a tremendous turnover, and
the jolly dachshund of the Jokes, has
been trained for centuries in Germany
to 90 into his burrows like ferret aft
er rats and drive the badger out or
fight him. In some German and Aus
TRAN cities there were formerly badger
battling Journeys In which crack dachs-
huttds entered pit with an able
bodied badger and fought for points.
It is said that such contests are still
held In Vienna. For spirit, endurance
and agility the dachshund has no peer
in this work, and bulldog pitted
against badger would probably. find
himself cutting poor figure.
So, make the jokes about the dachs-
humid II you will, but give him credit
for his prowess and for that gentle
ness, characteristic also of the best
bulldogs, that makes both an affec-
Tomato companion to man and loyal
playmate to children. Give the dachs-
hund credit, too, for intelligence He
has 1t in large degree. Few dogs are
keener. New York Press.

It Is not generally known that
popcorn Is one of the best remedies
for nausea caused by seasickness or
car sickness. In one case known TO
the writer a lady starting on an
overland journey of several days du-
ration was before many hours had
passed attacked by the usual symp-
toms. She decided 70 try the new
remedy, whatever It might be, that
she had been assured would find in a
good sized tin box that had been Civ
en- her at her departure.
Although rather incredulous, the
traveller tried the popcorn she found
In the box. and to her qualification
the nausea gradually disappeared
She ate freely OF the corn every day
whenever there was the slightest In
dication OF nausea, and thanks to
this simple precaution the journey
was accomplished with an unwonted
degree Of comfort.

STORY OF THE CoATEE.
A Thirteenth Century style That
Has Been often Revived.

The coatee seems to have made its
erst appearance In the thirteenth
century, when II was known as the
spencer and the more picturesque IL
tie Of cote hardie. says the London
Tribune. The first examples were
tight fitting. richly trimmed with fur
and embroidery. and OF a different
color and material from the rest OF
the gown. In the fifteenth and six
teenth centuries it was known as the
donblet. and. being worn With belt
and big sleeves, was like the old
fashioned Russian blouse. although
OF more elaborate design.
Elizabethan fashions introduced
tight iacfng and further confirmed
the POPULARITY of the coatee. which.
however. went out of fashion in tho
days Of the Strarts. The early days
of the nineteenth century saw the
coatee in the height of fashion. The
early name OF spencer chung to 1t.
and in bright colors 1t often formed
a striking contrast to a muslin skirt.
In the '40s it was known as the
plnce taitie, Ut pAilNh Waist, a
name which explains itself, and was
made with pagoda sleeves and big
frills-a trying enough style It must
been to all but the slender. The
pince-taiiIe was in fashion for somc
years. being popular in 1855 unaer
tho more modern sounding man
tie" and casaque." These were Of
te built of gIace silk. and the
sic ives, which were of huge dir on
sIons. were put In with poncho Or
raF .an seams.
And to-day finds the bolero o.
coatee still to the fore. Thus does
the history of dress repeat itself.
