did he get the largest number OF cod but
he won the pool for the biggest fish taken

BELIEFS OF THE PEASANTS
Odd Christmas superstitions. Handed
Down From Past Ages to the
Ignorant Europeans.

Af< HE peasantry Of Europe
have had certain Christmas
superstitions handed down
A to them from past ages.
Just how far these simple
folk can be fooled is to be wondered.
If the light Is let go out on Christ
mas morning, you will see spirits.
If you are born at sermon time
Christmas eve, some one in the house
will die within the year.
If you steal lay the night before
Christmas, and give the cattle some,
they will thrive and you will not be
caught in any future thefts.
If you eat raw egg. fnstlng on
Christmas morn, you can carry heavy
weights. 1t is unlucky to carry any
thing from the house on Christmas
morning until something has been
brought in.
II is unlucky to give nelgllbor a
live coal TO klndle fire with on
Christmas morning.
II the fire burns brightly on Christ
mas morning. it betokens prosperity
during the year; If 1t smolders, ad-
versity.
If dog howls the night before
Christmas, 1t will 60 mad within the
year.
If you steal anything at Christmas
without bcing caught, you can steal
safely for year.
On Christmas eve thrash the gar
den with a full, with only your shirt
on, and the grass will grow well next
year.
Tie wet strawbands around the or
chard trees on Christmas eve and It
will make them fruitful.
On Christmas eve put stone on
every tree, and they will bear the
more.
Beat the trees on Christmas night,
and they will bear the more.
If after Christmas dinner you
shake out the tablecloth over the bare
ground under the open sky. crumb-
wort will grow on the spot.
II on Christmas day or eve, you
hang washcloth out on the hedge
they will grow fat.
As often MS the cock crows on
Christmas eve, the quarter of corn
will he as dear.
II you burn elder on Christmas eve,
you will have reve led to you all the
witches and sorcerers Of the ncighbor-
hood.

City Planning.

City zoning and city planning tend
to stabilize real estate values and make
1t easier for the real estate dealers to
offer permanent investments to pros
pective purchasers. This forms part
of the advice that J. c. Nichols Of
Kansas City has offered his fellow
realtors. He says:
In talking last summer with the
comptroller Of life insurance com.

money on real estate than any other
company in the world, l asked him

"When the ladies' Of Alaska wish to

story that he has TO tell. Lab0rers
