WRONG SIDE OF THE BED-
Ancient Superstition Had to Do With
Setting Foot on the Floor When
Arising.

In olden days it was believed to be
very bad luck to see the new moon
rejected in looking glass or window
pane. Mirrors were regarded by our
iorefathers as the most effective
means of divining secrets. There is a
tradition that the gunpowder plot was
discovered by DR.. John Dee, a famous
magician of that time. with his magic
mirror, There is much curious folk
lore about the bed. Bedsteads were
always placed parallel to the planks
of the floor. as 1t was. considered un-
lucky to sleep. across. the boards.
There is a belief among the Hindus
that those who sleep with their heads
TO the north will have their days
shortened. Yet some people say they
always sleep sounder when their
heads are placed to the north. and a
Scottish physician once declared
that when he failed by every pre-
scription to bring sleep to invalid
children. he recommended their beds
be turned, due north and south. The
phrase to get out of bed the wrong
way" originated in an ancient super
stition which regarded it as unlucky
to place the left foot first on the
ground when getting out of bed.
