Flowers That Bring Bad Luck.

In England Devonshire folk hold
that 1t means death to bring into the
house single daffodil, when this flow
er first appears in the spring. There
must be a bunch Of them, and the
cowslip is similarly hedged In by su-
perstltion. A hydrangea in the house
''brings trouble" and snowdrops are
''unlucky," while wild flowers general
ly prevent the first brood Of chickens
from Matching. If one wishes a plant
indoors to show large and profuse
bloom he must place in the f1Owerpot
some fresh earth from the grave OF
an infant baptized within twelve
months. No yellow bloom should be
brought into the house in May. The
house with bergamot near it is never
free from sickness. A plant of hello

places any, untrue wives in the con

HONOR PAID ST. MICHAEL
In England Especially Is His Day OBJ
served for Prescribed Cere-
moniaIs and Feasting.

There are fragmentary customs
bound up with Michaelmas which
have to do with birds and winged
things. for no particular reason that
anybody knows. Perhaps 1t is chance
that II Is so. But everywhere In Eng
land where MichaelmaS is kept goose
Is sacrificed for dinner on that day,
and for years and years In Lincolnshire
and Yorkshire handful Of the farm
er's each sort Of grain was scattered
in the court or farmyard for the birds.
so that luck would come to that home
stead. Queen Elizabeth was eating,
you may remember. her Michaelmas
goose when the defeat Of the Spanish
armada was announced to her. Per
haps Mchael's wings were lowering
over the sea that day of the defeat
and that those sizzling geese all over
England were sacrifice not made In
vain. And perhaps, after all, these
customs Of cooking geese and throwing
grain to birds are only just because
Michaelmas comes in the harvest time.
But 1t is nice to think that everything
with wings Is in some way akin to this
especial saint.-San Francisco ArgO'
