SUPERSTITION HARD To DOWN
Quaint Belief in Reference to Wed
ding Customs That Prevail in This
and Other Countries.

There are more superstitions in ref
erence TO the marriage ceremony than
in reference to any other in common
life. They refer to such matters as
the clothes to be worn by the bride, to
the year, month and day, of the wed
ding. In Sweden it is believed that if
"A girl is fond of cats she will not be an
old maid. We should expect the oppo-
site.
One of our proverbs says that it is
i'll luck for bride to see her face in
glass by CANDLE Another that a we'd
ding feast postponed bodies bad luck.
Bees must be told of n wedding and
get some of the cake. The pins used
In the dress of the bride at her we'd
ding must be all thrown away; If re-
tained by the bridesmaids they will not
marry before Whitsuntide. A girl
must beware of being three times a
bridesmaid, for she never will be
bride.
1t augurs i'll for wedding If bride
does not weep profusely. No witch
can shed more than three tears. and
those from her left eye only. A copl
Gus flood of tears gives assurance to
the husband that the lady has not
plighted her troth to satan and is no
witch.-Philadelphia Inquirer.

IL was sunny day late in Septem- Der on which Aunt Deel and Uncle Pea body took me and my little pine chest lage where l was to go to school and live with the family of Mir Michael Racket. the schoolmaster. I remember the sad excitement of that ride to the village and all the words of advice and counsel spoken by my aunt.
 remember looking in vain for Sally as We passed the Dunkelbergs'. l re- member my growing loneliness as the day wore on and how Aunt Deel stood silently buttonlng my coat. with tears rolling down her cheeks while leaned back upon the gate fin front of the Racket house. on fishery lane, try ing to act like man and rather ashamed of my poor success. Uncle Peabody stood surveying the sky in silence with his back toward us. He turned and nervously blew out his breath. His lips trembled little as he said:
 'I dunno but what it's goin' to rain."
 I watched them as they walked to the tavern sheds. both looking down at the ground and going rather ur steadily. Oh, the look of that beloved pair as they walked away from me l- the look of their leaning heads Their silence and the sound of their foot steps are. somehow. part of the pie ture which has hung all these years in my memory.
 Sally Dunkelberg and her mother came along and said that they were glad I had come to school. could not talk to them and seeing my trouble they went on, Sally waving her hand to me as they turned the corner below. I felt ashamed of myself. Suddenly l heard the door open behind me and the voice of Mir. Racket:

 l turned and went into the house.

 "Yes,' l answered.

Uncle Peabody went away for a few days after the harvesting He had gone afoot. 1 knew not where. He returned one afternoon in q buggy with the great Michael Racket of the Canton academy. Racket was a big, hrawny. red-haired. kindly Irishman with a merry heart and tongue, the latter having touch of the hrogue of the green isle which he had never seen, nr he had been born in Massachusetts and had got his education in Harvard. He was then man of forty.

 "That'll be grand" said Uncle Pea body, but. as to myself, just then. l knew not what to think of 1t.

 What was there about the girl which so thrilled me with happiness?
 She turned away and felt the rib bon by which her hair was gathered at the back of her head.
 After n moment of silence I ven tured:
 "I guess you've never fallen in love" "Yes. have"
 "Who with?"
 "I don't think dare tell you" she answered. slowly looking down as she walked
 "Irl tell you who love IT you wish" l said
 "Who?"
 You" I whispered the word and was afraid she would laugh at me, but she didn't.
 We stopped and listened to the song of hird-I do not remember what bird it was-and then she whispered :: "WIll you love me always and for everf
 "Yes." I answered in the careless way of youth.
 She stopped and looked into my eyes and looked into hers.
 May I kiss you?" I asked, and afraid. with cheeks burning.
 She turned away and answered: 'T guess you can if you want to."
