ages of superstition. rejoicing that
they have passed, and that the world
has entered on wiser and saner
era. But, il the truth be told, every
age has had its pet superstitions, and
If some have vanished, they have been
replaced by others quite as irrational.
In old pagan days, the Greeks and Ro-
mans before entering on any import
ant business, consulted the Delphic
oracle, the Duncan Sybil or Virgilian
Lots. Now many persons consult the
clatrvoyants and the psychic mediums.
In those old times certain days and
numbers were supposed to be melevo-
lent The idea that Friday is a day
of evil omen, comes from the fact that
Christ was crucif1ed on that day, and
the superstition that thirteen is
malevolent number arises from the
incident that at the Last Supper thir-
teen sat down at the table, and one
of them was the arbitrator, Judas.
To-day many wise people decline to
start On journey or enter into any
business enterprise on Friday. Our
own President Mckinley would never
inaugurate any public affair or sign
any important document on Friday
There are kings and emperors who
still cherish the same superstition.
Great rulers have been noted for an
absurd faith in omens. Napoleon re-
garded the breaking Of a looking glass
as a presage OF death or dire calamity.
The kaiser Is not devoid of supersti-
tons, which to people in general seem
absurd. The car possesses a ring
set with bit Of the True Cross,
which he always wears as a talisman
against evil. Queen Victoria had an

lions. Many men, sailors and theatri-
cal people are noted for their super

avoid seeing the new moon over his

many petty superstitions The use
of the horseshoe as an emblem of

when device Of this shape traced in

Black Friday" as justification of
their belief. Many other superstitions
cherished not only by the ignorant
masses but by the wisest people might
be mentioned. Many poets, rename
ers and even scientists and philosoph-
ers have been addicted to absurd su-
perstitions. People still see visions
and dream dreams, and attempt to pry
into matters not given unto men to

1t is, however, a plain fact that in
this country women are more cultured
than men; on the average are better
educated. The boys quit school earlier
to go to work and the unpleasant fact
is that they too often cease STUDYING
so soon as their books are closed.
Now there are many highly educated
and cultured men and women in this
country who have never attended col
lege. There are many opportunities
open for those who desire 70 improve
themselves The unpleasant fact is
that so few use the opportunities open
to them.

without reason, the lack of everyday courtesy
between husbands and wives has wrecked the
happiness of more marriages than any other
cause whatsoever.
