StpERSTITIONS OF KENTUCKY"

Miss Ida Duke Woods, Secretary to
President Garfield, of Center College,
Danville, KY, has been sending PAM
plets to all the schools of the state in.
order to collect and make record of
all the supersttions of Kentucky,
which are fast dying away. The rea-
son for this may be explained by the
advancement of civilization and edu-
cation of the age.
OF all the states, Kentucky has been
most noted for its superstitions. There
are bad luck signs, good luck signs,
weather signs, marriage and love
signs. signs of people coming, super
stitious cures, fortunes and wish signs
All of which most of us are familiar
with, because from the time of our
earliest childhood we can remember
being told by some one. Don't do
that, il is bad luck, and if we should
ask them why we would only be told
that it was because some one had told
them SO. Thus it happens that these
old superstitions have been handed
down from one generation to another.
But the present generation has arrived
at stage where We realize the reality
of things.
The belief in superstition of signs
dates back further than the time of
Julius Caesar. We can however over
look that fact that people believed in
superstition at that time because civil
ization had not reached very great
height, but to hear some one tell us
now, not to do certain things because
it is bad luck sounds not only absurd
and childish but also denotes ignor-
ance.
Some of the bad luck signs are, for
black cat or rabbit to cross your
path; to break looking glass means
seven years of bad luck; to find a soft
shell egg means bad luck.
Some of the good luck signs are, to
carry a rabbits foot in your pocket to
find a four leaf clover; spider on
your neck means good luck.
The accidental dropping of a dish
rag, means that some one is coming.
The cry of dove or raincrow de-
notes rain,
Corns may be cured by cutting them
with razor which has been used to
shave a dead person.
There are many, many others Of
these superstitions, which are inter-
esting as fairy tales and which have
no more truth than fairy tales, but as
they form part of the thought OF
our state past and present, we ought
to keep the memory of them.
