SUPERSTlTIONS OF THE HOME

Thrifty Habits.

were picturesque and diverting Few
Of them were taken seriously enough
to be harmful.
II is easy to trace some of them
to their sources in domestic economy.
A group OF them. for example. had to
do with the approach of an unexpect-
ed glsest. The scissors or a knife stick
ing up straight in the floor. a dropped
dish cloth. or a long. floating stem in
a cup Of tea--ali these foretold arriv-
ais They had the agreeable double
effect OF keeping the household up to
a high mark of preparedness and Of
breaking monotony by the pleasure Of
anticipated society If the prophesied
caller followed the dropping of scls-
sors the sign received an increased au-
thorfty. When the promise failed. the
failure was promptly forgotten
Another group OF superstitions rests
upon the thrifty habits Of former
times. To pick up a pin brought good
luck. To neglect to snunf a candle IN
til It was wasted by "weeper" was
sure to involve misfortune. An over
abundance Of tea grounds In the cup
spoke OF careless measures. and so

turns naturally to believe the make
believe A housewife likes to pit her
u1reason against her reason. The
mere act Of absurd illogic gives vari-
ETY. and charm to an otherwise dull
afternoon Of housework. and nobody is
the worse for stretching the arm Of
imagination to include a little mild
superstition Of the old fashioned sort.

WHERE PLATINUM IS FOUND
Rare Metal in Small Quantities Usu-

In Gravel Beds.

Platinum is found associated with
gold. principally in gravel beds. The
ordinary source is accumulations OF
gravel which have been eroded from

trated in one locality by the continued
action OF water. It is rare metal
and the accumulation must be from a
great extent Of country If q paying
