STAGE SUPERSTITI0NS.
No Quotations from "Macbeth"--No
Carrying Of Makeup Boxes.

1t was announced the other day that
the name of new play, 'The Golden
Moth" was to be changed because the
company believe that the presence OF
the word golden" in a. title is un-
lucky, We are informed later that the
management Of the theatre had decided
to defy superstition and that the
play Is to be produced with the origl-
nal title, after all.
The stage is, perhaps, the most SUI
perstitious institution in England, aft
er the racccourse. The latter Is SO
superstitious that to wish man luck
when on his way to a race meeting Is
considered unlucky. Instead Of saying
"Good luck!' you should say some
thing insulting, such as, May you
break your leg!" We have known an
Irish racegoer's day to be clouded be-
sause someone wished him good for
tune. Actors and actresses have not
only the ordinary superstitions, such
as the picking up Of pins, the dread
Of breaking looking glasses and the
horror Of certain numbers-they have
also number of professional super
stitions. 1t is unlucky, they say, for
instance. to quote Macbeth Actors
dare not say to each other at parting.
when shall we three meet AGAIN.
No actress with sout would advise a
nervous fellow artist to "screw her
courage to the sticking point
1t Is unlucky, during rehearsals, to
quote the catchword Of d forthcoming
play in casual conversation. 1t is
unlucky to carry makeup box, like
an amateur actress. Then there are
certain theatres that are regarded as
unlucky, and the superstitious actor is
depressed at the prospect OF having
to appear at one Of them. The luck
may turn, we understand. if the name
Of the theatre is changed; this was
probably the cause of the change OF
the name Of one London theatre, which
hsa since been successful New States
man.

Uses of Cretonne Increase.
Cretonne has become absolutely in
dispensable to the house beautiful. In
fact, some kind Of colored fabric for
house decoration has been found me-
cessity since the days of the earliest
tribes.
The present day craze for batik y
really return to the primitive rather
than the creation OF something new in
the textile line, says the Springfield
Republican. Old archives prove that
the early Indians and old Egyptians
used a process similar to that Of max
ing batik, to color fabric which was
their cretonne.
Pliny tells about this dyeing process
of the Egyptians in a treatise written
in the first century. He tells how color
and design were applied to ready
woven material. This method was al
most Identical with the modern theory
OF making cretonne, minus the ma
chinery aid.
The name cretonne Is of French ORR
gin. supposed to be taken from the
town of Creton, famous for the weay-
ing Of drnpery cloths.
II was not long before the English
workmen wearied Of the tedious hand
process OF applying color and design
and evolved the block method OF print
ing. In time the copper roller and
plate supplented this until to-day the
process of dyeing and printing Gre
tonne Is vast industry which turns
out thousands upon thousands of yards
an hour.
The war has increased this indus
try here. Designs of rare beauty and
originality have been born. New uses
for cretonne are found each season.
'Draperies, chair upholstering, table
scarfs and even aprons are made in
countless numbers from gay floral and
conventional patterned cretonnc.

Salmon Canning Methods.

After being captured, the salmon are
taken from the net or trap to Gamer
les. where they are dressed, trimmed
and cut in slices by machinery. These
slices of solid meat, which are just
the size to fit in can, are inserted
in them, also by machinery, and Tor
two hours they are subjected to a
heat OF from 240 TO go degrees under
q steam pressure OK ten and half
pounds. This cooks the flesh thorough
". softens the bones. and insures COM
plete sterilization. Canned salmon Il
packed by numerous companies anil
under a large variety of labels, but
somewhere on each can will be found
the name which designates the kind
Of salmon within, as pink, chum. etc.
Pink salmon Sandwiches-One cup

Mix dressing and salmon to a paste.
Slice bread very thin and spread with
the salmon paste, Git into dainty
shapes and garnish with watercress or
parsley. These can be made two OF
three hours before serving by placing

damp napkin. Very good.

An Old Building.

From the information we have
gathered, from old people, the little
green brick in the East corner of the
public square, is the oldest building in
Columbia. At the Home Coming, in
1906, fifteen years ago, gentleman
was here who lived In Texas He gave
his age at 70 and he stated that he
was born in that building. We have
forgotten his name, but he made a
speech at the Fair Grounds, in which
he told his age and his birth and the
house in which he was born. From
other information gathered this build
ing is one among the first erected in
the town. A few buildings that have
been RACED we're perhaps little older,
The public square was laid off in 1902
or three,
