ON THE BRIDAL DAY
HERE ARE SOME GERMAN THEO-
RIES ABOUT BAD LUCK.
Trying on the Wedding Ring Before
the Ceremony, Tearing the We'd
ding Dress, and Many Other
Things Bring Dire Misfortune.

Germany seems to be especially
prolific of bridal superstitlons. A
German writer has just offered these
comments on the bridal day. by
which it may tie seen that bad luck
father than coed luck has the point
of emphasis.
According to the Germans the
bride must be especially careful on
her wedding day not to put the left
foot out of bed first--for that would
mean perpetual strife.
It Is most necessary to see that
thirteen persons do not sit down to
breakfast together that day. Many
miafortunes will befall that bride
who tries the wedding ring on the
proper finger before the wedding;
this is considered an anticipation of
fate and fate Is not to be so caught.
II is even possible that In such cases
the wedding may fail at the last mo-
ment In fact some brides think IL
bad sign If the bridegroom even
show them the ring before the we'd
ding.
When the bride puts on the we'd
ding dress she must be very careful
not to rip or tear it--not even a bit
OF lace. nor should she pick up any
thing on it-for this. too. is a bad
sign. If, however, anything be torn
1t should not be sewn--for each
stitch brings tears and misfortunes.
In English society bits of court plas-
ter are used for such emergencies.
The bride should admire her dress
before the wedding day, for II 1t Is
and she look in the mir
ror on her wedding day each glance
means misfortune.
1t Is an awful sign for the bride
to look back over her shoulder, for
this is a sign that she looks back to
the past with a heavy heart, and does
not look 10 the future with joy. II
she should see herself N the mirror
when thus looking back. all luck is
gone from this wedding.
This refers of course. TO an acct.
dental look backward. If the bride
Is in her carriage and any one calls
to her. she must on no condition look
Before her wedding no
bride who hopes for good luck
should weep-crying is permitted
only after the ceremony. A mother
who embraces her daughter and,
weeping, makes her weep, calls
down misfortune upon her child.
Friends who send kilograms to
bride should so time them that they
arrive ony after the ceremony, for
comes with premature
conf organizations. Hundreds of tele-
grams afterward can do no harm
but a single one too soon is bad
uck.
Under no circumstances should

goes. 1t extends even

TROUBLE WITH MODERN CHILD.

to be children. 81 know Of a Milwau-

to ind that at birthday party which
her daughter Ia child Of eight had
attended two liveried pages stood At

compared this complicated existence
With that of the great John Ruskin,
who had but four toys during his en-

YALE MEN TAKE TO THE LAW.
The Bar Still Attracts ons-ThIrd Of the
unIvsrsity's Graduates.

The statisticians at Yale have
drawn up a table to show what occu-
pations the graduates Of the institu-
ton have chosen in the last century.
From the table 1t appears that the
ministry has fallen OF greatly a. an
attraction.
When tho century opened about 80
per cent. of Yale graduates were min
listers. Beginning with 1860 this num-
Der took q great fall. Since 1865 the
average has been six per cent.
The averages for law and medicine
have remained about the same. As .
rule ten per cent. of Yale's graduates
are doctors. In law the figures have
been steadily about SO per cent.
In teaching and science the figures
have Increased very gradually from
about two per cent. to IL per cent
The strongest upward tendency has
been that of business. The farmers
have fallen off ever since the southern
planters ceased to enter Yale.
Business now attracts about one
third of the men. and the law about
one-third. The other third is divided
between the ministry. science. teach
Ing. forestry and few other branches.

Birds fearless are the humming birds.
