SUPERSTITI0NS OF THE MOON
Luck Depends Upon Various Lunar
Stages, According to Many
Popular Beliefs.

1t Is considered unlucky to see the
new moon for the first time through
glass. TO see it outdoors over the
eft shoulder is lucky; over the right
shoulder is unlucky.
Letters asking a favor should be
written in the full Of the moon. In
fact. the full Of the moon is lucky for
all events. A birth or marriage in q
'ull moon is indicative Of prosperity.
1t IS considered unlucky to have the
ayelashes cut during the wane Of the
noon. They will not grow we'll, but
will grow awry and fall out. To have
them grow long they should be cut
while the moon Is on the increase.
Animals born when the moon Is
,rescent-shaped will be weak and short
lived; those horn at the full of the
moon will be strong and long-lived.
Trees are thought likely to decay
when cut during waning moon. The
bacon Of a hog killed in IA waning
moon Is also said to waste much In the
cooking. ttaI!

First British Martyr.

St. Alban, has the honor Of being re-
garded as the first British martyr. The
bloody >, persecution of Dioclesian,
which ragged in other parts Of the Ro-
man empire with such terrible fury
that Dioclesian declared the Christians
exterminated, was kept in check In
Gaul and Britain by Constantine, who
governed those provinces with almost
regal authority. But some few are al
legged to have suffered, and among
them St. Alban was first. He shef.
tered priest, whose name was Am.
phibalus, who Is said to have convert
ed him, and when he could conceal the
priest no longer, he assisted his escape
by changing clothes with him. For this
act Albun was brought before the Ro-
man governor, condemned and be-
headed.
