superatitlons About Water.

Delightfully."- quaint are all the super
stitions concerning water, and one
which never fails to send little thrills
along ones spine is that which holds
that, II water is taken with soup, the
drlnker will cough In his grave. A
lively quarrel is said to be the result
OF two friends washing their hands in
the same water; and while water pour.
ed on the doorstep ensures prosperity,
water thrown out will soon give cause
to weep. Pleasant indeed for the
maiden is the belief that every time
she spills water her lover thinks upon
her; but for the housewife the spIling
OF water foretells that, ere she can
dry It up, her house will be fun Of
callers.
