Ell aid feared lhat it is never even
named: with the AZtecS, the abort
oineS Of Mexico. it was believed to
have magic power. and like fancy
has been found in other Indian trlb-
es.
Among the ignorant blacks Of the
south the fear Of this number in
any connection is actually absurd,
but whether they have borrowed this
idea from their imperfect knowledge
of the Christianity, or whether it is
a survival Of the Voodoo worship of
the ancestors, it is impossible to
say, for the superstition has strong
hold everywhere. 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.-The Housekeepar.

Surrounded by a mob Of curiou:
but DELIGHTED people. says the Phlla-
delphia Press, a man walked up
Market Street late Saturday night
balnciag himself OIL the car rail like
a tight-rope walker. Ignoring wag-
ons and street cars, whose drivers
were demanding a clear track, the
equilibbris slowly and carefully pick
ing his way up the street. never veer-
inc an inch from the rail.
"Ts he crazy or simply paying a
bet?" quericd tna crowd. AT Tenth
an1 Market Streets the rail walker
was halted by a policeman, who ask
ed him what he was doing. At first
the man refused to answer, but when
the policeman threatened to arrest
him he said: I'm structural iron
worker. ande 7 thought I was on a
eirder twenty stories above ground.
When I get jagged the only place l
can walk is on the car rail- -

Whv Thirteen Is Un1ucky.

It is usually stated that the super
stitious objection to sitting thirteen
at a table in Christian counrles was
based on the fact Of the last supper
when Christ and His twelve disciples
sat down to eat together, immediate
" before the Savious was seized by
His enemies.
But in the Morse mythology, which
is supposed to antedate the introduce
ton Of Christianity among the north
men, we find the superstition refer
red to the fact that at banquet OF
the gods, Loki the spirit Of mischief,
intruded himself, making thirteen at
Il the table, wherefore there was a
FIGHT, and Balbour, young hero 2s-
pecially loved BY all the gods, was
liIled. Fer the fact is the objection
D this number seems to have existed
ven before Christianity. Among
be Turks the number is so dlsllk-
