BAKERS DOZEN.

Some persons are inclined to think
that the bakers dozen originated when
heavy fines were considered necessary
to counterbalance light weights, and
the bakers, IN order TO insure full
weight, took the precaution to add an
additional unit. Some have called II

its origin.
good churehman, but nevertheless he
was afraid of being bewitched. On the
last night of 1854 he sat in his bakeshop
trying to keep out the evil spirits by
priming himself with a glass Of good
spirits. Sales had been brisk. There
were no customers in the shop for the
moment, and he sat back. meditating
on the gains he would make on the
morrow, when the fresh New Years
cakes were put on sale. He was startled
by sudden rap. An ugly woman push
ed the door open.

The shr1lluess of her voice did not

1t only annoyed him.

The hag left the shop. but from
that night Jan had trouble. The shop
seemed 20 be bewitched. His cakes
were stolen. Either his bread was so
light that IT scared up the chimney or
so heavy that the supports of the oven
gave way beneath the burden His
wife became deaf. his children went
wild. His trade took wings and settled
in the shops Of his rivals Three times
the old woman returned, and each time
was directed to the DEVILS Sanctum. At
last, in despair, the baker called upon
st. Nicholas to assist him. The vener-
able patron of Dutch feasts delivered
lecture on charity. telling the tremb-
ling man 10 be more generous in the
future. Then he vanished and in his
place stood the hag. who repeated her
demand for one more cake. Jan ac-
ceded, whereupon she exclaimed: The
spell is broken: from this time one
dozen is thirteen" Taking from the
counter a gingerbread efigy OF St
Nicholas. she made the Subdued Dutch
