FEAR OF BREAKING MIRROR
Accident That Is Associated With One
of the Oldest Superstitions OF
the World.

When lady, however cultured ana
intelligent, accidentally skaters her
mirror, she is apt to turn pale. She
may even faint. though she may not
actually believe in the subsequent
~seven years of bad luck" or the loss
of the one she holds most dear.
Is this perhaps because all peoples
have regarded mirrors as symbolic!
That from the earliest time, ii has
been the instrument with which the
seer communicated with fate? (WhO
has not gone secretly to consult the
crystal gazer who in her back hall bed
room used a wet mirror instead of
crystal ball?) There are Christian fam
lilies today who will carefully drape the
mirrors in q sick room because their
ancestors believed the spirit of death
gained entrance through them.
II is rather natural, then, that break
ing the means of communication with
the Beyond should be regarded as a
calamity. Hence the "seven years of
bad luck" Napoleon was so intensely
superstitious on this point that once
he happened to break the glass that
covered the picture of Josephine. Fear
full that this might spell the same
calamity as breaking mirror he sent
a courier to make sure that she was
safe, and slept neither day nor night
till the courier'S return. A famous
English writer died just one month
after he openly boosted that he would
defy this mirror superstition.

For most of US the memory of the

for you it may be so. Your times are
in His hand, and let your Father

the Spirit to walk the way of His
commandments. Forgetting the
things that are behind, let us press on
for the prize of the high calling in
