Why Thirteen Is unlnckv

It is usually stated that the super stitious objection to sitting thirteen at a table in Christian countries was based on the fact of the Last Supper, when Christ and his twelve disciples sat down to eat together, immediately before the saviour was seized by his enemies. But in the Morse mythology, which is sup posed to antedate the introduction of Christianity among the Norsemen, we find the superstition referred to the fact that at banquet of the gods, Loki, the spirit of mischief, intruded himself, making thirteen at the table, wherefore there was a fight, and Bal four, young hero, was killed. For the fact is, the objectio nto this mum Der seems to have existe deven before Christianity Among the Turks the number is so disliked and feared that it is never even named with the Aztecs the aborigines of Mexico, it was be- lieved to have magic power, and like fancy has been found in other Indian tribes Among the ignorant blacks of any connection is actually absurd, but
 whether they have borrowed the idea from their imperfect knowledge of Christianity or whether of their ances- tors, it is impossible to say, for the superstition has a strong hold every where, even among those who should know better than to be swayed by it. In Italy it is never used in making up the. numbers of the favorite lotteries, and in Paris it is omitted in numbering the houses on the streets.--Housekeep
