A (icriiinn writer had Just offered these rotnments on the bridal day, br wnlch It may be seen that bad luck inliicr than good luck lias the point of emphasis. According to the Germans the hridd must be especially careful on Iut wedding day not to put the left foot out of bed first for that would mean perpetual strife. It Is most neceHsary to see that thirteen persons do not sit down to breakfast together that day. Many misfortunes will befall that bride wlv tries the wedding ring on the proper finger before the wedding; this Is considered an anticipation of fnto, and fate is-not to bo fo caught. It Is even possible that In such cases the wedding may fall at the last mo ment. In fact some brides think It a bad Blgn If the bridegroom even show them the ring before the wed ding. When the bride puts on the wed ding dress she must be very careful not to rip or tear It not evu. a bit of lace, nor should she pick up any thing on It for this. too. 1m a bad sign. If. however, anything bo 'ni It should not be sewn for pm"!i stitch brings tears and misfortunes. In Knglltih society bits n! court plasi ti.r urn used for auch emerconele.i. The bride should admin; her dr-ss bef.ire the wedding day, for If It Is j completed and sho look In the m.i'- ' ror on her wedding day ca;:h glum-.'! means misfortune. H Is an awful sign for the brio to look back over her shoulder, for this Is a sign that she looks bad; to the past with a heavy heart, and dors not look to the future with Joy. If she should see herself In the mtrrcr when thus looking back, all luck Is p.one from this wedding. This refers of course, to an acci dental look backward. If the bride Is in her carriage and any one calls to her, she must on no condition look backward. Before her wedding no bride who hopes for good luck nhould weep crying Is permitted only after the ceremony. A mother who embraces her daughter and, weeping, makes her weep, calls down misfortune upon her child. Friends who send telegrams to a bride should bo time them that they arrive any after the ceremony, for misfortune comes with premature congratulations. Hundreds of tele prams afterward can do no harm hut a single one too soon Is bad luck. Under no circumstances should the bridal bouquet be forgotten, for this Is of evil omen. It Is a bad sign toi0f the bridegroom is late. If the bride drops her bouquets Its Is well to aandon the wedding If luck Is considered. It Is remarkable how far bridal superstition goes. It extends even to the wedding presents. Some think It ill luck to receive any pres ents that cut, and yet many send tlsh knives, fruit and dinner knives. Few consider how many tears these well meant presents cause the bride, who especially at this time s hrtnks fro mthe last portent of evil. IIOMK COOKING. Cheese Omelet.

MANY FOOLISH LAWSIITS Litigation Over a Watermelon, Spotted Cnlf und u Toy ltulloon. Many men, level-headed enough about other things seem to lose their wits entirely when they get tangled up in a lawsuit. In a case recently concluded in the German courts a Berlin business man paid out over $900 to recover the value of a 5-cent postage stamp. It seems as If this claimant had Justice on his side, too; ho had written a polite letter, asking for an address and enclosing postage for reply. Palling to get an answer, he sued for the stamp. The famous Mlsourl watermelon rase was Just as trifling and even more disastrous. The seed was plant ed on one farm, but the vine crept through a crack In the rail fence and the melon grew on the other side. Doth farmers claimed It and Instead of seeing the Joke they went to law. The farmers bankrupted themselves without deciding the question of ownership. The melon, worth about 10 cents In the first place, bad dis appeared long before. The Iowa case which concerned the Identity of a red and white heifer cnlf was equally disastrous. It is said that subpoeuas were Issued for more than 200 witnesses, who attended court after court, and received their fees and mileage. After they had spent all their money in litigation, the rival owners met one day and tosBod a coin to settle the case. One of the celebrated French cases was over a 2-cent toy balloon, and the litigants were Baron De Short and the Paris Metropolitan Railway. The balloon belonged to the Baron's little girl, and the railway employes on account of some rule they felt obliged to enforce would not permit It to be brought Into the passenger car. The baron stormed and threat ened but the guard was obdurate, tnd the toy wu3 left behind, while the child wept. The next day the nobleman sued the company for the 2 cents. Some of the smartest lawyers In Paris wero engaged In Mie case. It was proved that It was likely to ex plodo at auy time, and the wUe court held that even If Its explosion could not possibly be attended by dnnm-r. It tnigiit create a panic among the passengers aud the decision wu uualnst the baron. He spent hun dreds of dollars trying to get even with the company, and the more he lost the less satisfaction he obtain d. The most expensive lawsuit In the world is said to have been that ovsr the will of Antonio Traversa, a mer chant who lived In Milan. He left a fortune of $3,000,000. nnd there were a large number of heirs with connecting Interests. The case was in the different courts of Italy for years, and the 105 lawyers engaged in it ran up costs aggregating more than S2. 000. 000. Tho 38tate lost in value too. during the contest, so that the winning heirs found themselves with a small sum to their share wnen the final decision was rendered. Takes PInco of Thousand lis' nils.
