MOHAMMEDANS OF INDIA.
Superstition Seems to Govern Most Of
 Their Actions.

Mohammedans of India are very superstitious No Mohammedan will take bath on Sunday or Tuesday. But if enc bathes on Wednesday all misfortunes and misery that are in store for him till the next Wednesday will be averted. AS rule, all Moham- medans bathe on Fridays before going to perform the jumma prayers. For donning new clothes Saturday. Sunday and Tuesday are regarded as bad days. If any one dons a new dress or puts on new cloth or allows his tailor to cut a piece of cloth on these days, he will live miserable life till that dress or cloth gets torn or is thrown away. If shirt is torn and if the wearer for if it is stitched while on the body the person will soon die. A Moham- medan will never allow barber to come near him on Tuesdays, for Tues days and Saturdays and Sundays are bad days for shaving. If absolutely necessary he will get himself shaved on Saturday or Sunday, but never on Tuesday, as his star is supposed to fall fn blood if he does so. If one receives money or some valuable thing, it is taken with the right hand, for if it Is taken with the left the person re- ceiving 1t is said to forget all about 1t very soon or 10 mislay it. A de- vout Mohammedan will not start on a journey on Wednesday,. for it is be- lieved he will never return home safe y if he does so. And it Is said that even snake never ventures out of its hole on this day.

Tho "Macaroni."

The "macaroni" were exquisites or Cops who in England and France led the fashions from 17SO to 1785 and were distinguished by an immense knot of artificial hair worn on the top of their heads. A small cooked hat which perched ridiculously on their topknot, satin or brocade coats and small clothes fitting tightly to the body and silk stockings with ribbon garters composed the costume of these fash ionable gentlemen. who invariably car ried a long walking stick with tassels attached and frequently bouquet tied to the handle and encouraged minc- ing and affected gait and manner. There was during the war fer inde- pendence body of Maryland soldiers who on account of their showy uni forms were called "macaroni."
