MODERN SUPERSTITION.

Yesterday, Friday, the 18th, OF tn,
dreariest month in the year, was tn,
ideal day Of the superstitious. Here
in Astoria it was ushered in on the
wings Of a fierce Sou'wester, and
during all its "a hours every adverse
incident, big, or little, was charged up
to it promptly and freely; even those
things that were, indubitably, insepa-
rable from the routine of home and
Office life, and which repeat them
selves every other day in the year,
without comment.
Civilization thrusts aside every
thing except the pet superstition;
that remains; treasured, cultivated,
carefully stored in the mental corner,
and hailed into instant service at all,
presumably, appropriate moments The
only difference between its old, abso-
lutte influence and its present effect
on human affairs, is that we are a bit
chary about confessing it for fear of
the assumed scorn of our fellows who
rely on that expression to hide their
own eptitude for the almost universal
indulgence.
Scorn We never so loftily,. we are

and swearing by Tin perverted way),
our follies and our traditional herit-
ages; while Our simulated disdain oil

idiosyncracies Of the day. 1t is a
human thing, this fetish of signs and
dates and portents and it dwells, and
fourishes, in the recesses OF thou
sands of minds believed to be immune
from such vapid and vain possessions.
