A Bit Of Superstition.

Superstition is by no means dead,
even in ultra civilized England, says
London Answers. One Sunday, few
months ago. an interesting proof of
this fact was seen In the parish church
Of Sutcombe, IN north Devon. A
woman who suffered from epilepsy sat
In the porch as the congregation came
out from morning service, and thirty
married men, who at her request had
attended church, passed her one by
one. AS they passed each dropped a
penny in her lap. The thirtieth took
the pennies and gave the woman a
half crown, which was to be made into
4 ring for her to wear. Vain superstl-
ton, You exclaim. Yet another
woman. also martyr to epileptic fits,
who went through the same ceremony
at the same place nineteen years ago
has never since suffered.

1t is found also in Syria and Is really
the ''coney" Of the Bible, for one of the

HUMoR OF LONDON Cables.
Some of Their Remarks When the Tip
is Not Forthcoming.

Some of the hanson fraternity Of
London have no sense of humor, but
the majority are decidedly facetiOus.
says London Bits. Here are some
examples Of witty and sarcastic "cab-
byisms.'
To appreciate them properly 1t must
be understood that the fare has offered
single shilling in payment for ride
just within the two mile limit.
Are you quite sure YOU can spare
this?" remarks the cabby with bump
of humor. Dye think you'll be able
to rub along on the other nineteen till
next Friday? It's goin' the pace,
yknow."
''If you'll take my tip guv'nor." runs
another form of gentle reproach, you'll
go and see an oculist. You 'ailed this
bus by mistake. You wants red or
green or yellow bus. Black amt in
your line at ALL"
THANK yer gov'nor," says another
cabby, with apparent emotion; "thank
yer, kindly. Yer offer is well meant
but couldn't go for to do it." Saying
which he makes a pretense of handing
the shilling back to the astonished
fare. But | can't sell him, guv'nOr,
and that's a fact. Yer 'andsome hof
fer'd make me rich for life, but l tell
yer | can't sell i'm
One cabby, who was an excellent ac-
tor, on receiving his shilling burst into
tears and between his loud sobs jerked
out: I'm sorry you force 1t on me,
guv'nor, am really. The hincome tax
people'll be down on me now"
An excellent 'cabbyism" was perpe-
trated in the suburbs one night. AS
the fare let himself into the house he
was regaled somewhat as follows:
go in quietly, sir, In case the old wo-
man wakes up and ears me drivin'
away. She might stop the rest of yer
pocket money for this extravaganza"

MosLEM ETIQUETTE.
Always Be In Good Humor and Tatk
Pleasant Things.

Pleasant Things.
Here are some interesting Mussul-
man injunctions Of conviviality, says
the London Lancet. The honor Of be-
ing served first belongs to the invited
guest who is in the possession of any
high title or who has in any way or
sphere distinguished himself. II the
host himself Is the Oldest in the com
pany or has any high decoration OF
merit, he must first begin the meal
without delay in order not to let the
others unduly wait. 1t shows bad up
bringing to be in melancholy mood at
table or to speak of disagreeable things
or to engage in inappropriate discus
sions on matters of religious piety.
Foremost Of all, one must always be in
good humor and talk Of pleasant things,
as did the prophet himself.
You must always help yourself from
the side Of the dish nearest to you and
never try to find out the best bits,
which ought to be left for other guests.
If one of the invited has not much ap-
petite, you must ask him up to three
times with some kind chosen words to
partake of the meals. A longer insist
ence would cause ennui and would be
most inappropriate. You must never
stop eating before others, because in
doing 80 you will embarrass them and
cause them to finish quickly in imitat-
ing you.
Never eat gluttonously, but also new
er attempt to conceal your good appe.
tite. Always eat little by little. Exag.
gefated compliments are always mis-
placed. The hosts duty Is to make his
guests feel as comfortable as possible,
encouraging the tlmid and shy. 1t is
contrary to good taste to address and
to fix the attention Of guest when he
Ia eating. Even If the host Is not ac-
customed to eat much he must always
try not to finish before others. Should
any dish be forbidden to him by his
medical attendant he certainly must
not partake of it, but must at the same
time excuse himself before his guests.
1t Is absolutely necessary to avoid ev-
cry movement or gesture which is apt
to create disgust.

A GOOD LAWN.
The Best Way to Prepare the Ground
and Sow the Seed.

The Best Way to Prepare the Ground
and Sow the Seed.
A good lawn may be made either by
laying sod or growing seed. If'turf
Is used, the lawn is sometimes ready
for use In less time than when seed Is
used, but practically the difference is
very slight. Fewer lawns are made
from turf every year. The turf or soil
is nearly always obtained from near
by field. 1t abounds in coarse grasses
and pernicious weeds. The former
may be got rid of after considerable
trouble, but the latter rarely ever. Sod
laid lawns are nearly always uneven,
seamy and varied in color and texture.
Their cost, too, is much In excess Of
seeding the lawn down.
A lawn produced from mixture of
good, new. recleaned seeds Of the finer
grasses and clovers is superior In quail
ity and texture to the best sod obtain
able. To obtain the best results from
sowing, the ground should be carefully
dug over-not too deep, six to eight
inches will be enOugh-and nicely lev

fertilizer, coo pounds to the acre, or
about ten pounds to every Is by Is
square feet Rake this In and roll II
or fiatten it with the back Of spade;
then SOW seventy pounds Of some good
lawn seed to the acre, or one pound
to every Is by 10 feet. Sow half this
quantity walking enc way and half
walking at right angles to 1t, so as to
get even distribution. Do not sow in
windy weather, and be sure to rake
the seed in, and after sowing roll 1t
well or beat it fat with the spade.
Those seeds that are deeply buried
will not germinate, and those that are
exposed will be scorched by the sun,
blown or washed away or taken by
the birds. Whenever necessary to sow
in summer IT is better to mix with rye
or oats to protect the tender shoots
from the hot sun.-Suburban Life.
