A correspondent of the Boston
Globe gives this explanation of
the old superstition against walk
ing under a ladder: I'm former
days, when hanging was done
after more primitive and simple
fashion than it is to-day, the
victim had generally to pass
under the ladder which stood
against the gallows for the con-
venience of the execution, and he
passed under that ladder with the
fair certainty OF being i'm
mediately hanged. What the un-
happy criminal could not avoid
the average pedestrian avoids to-
day, even at the expense of his
polished boots, by turning into
the roadway"

What action will be taken in the
