You nit'.st pick them up, however, if you see them. If froth or little bubbles rise to the top of a cup'of tea or coffee and you are lucky enough to catch them in a spoon and swallow them, you will get money, the amount varying with the quantity of bubWes. If you Aid any little 9tick, tho sstems of tea leaves, in your and Bwallow them, you will capture a new boau. A tfood housewife will never sweep at night. If ehe is ever obliged to do bo she will sweep the dirt Into a cor ner, and couldn't bo prevailed on to lift it until morning. This is to prevent misfortune. Nor will she at any time sweep the dirt out of her door. Sho will lift it in a dustpan and burn It- This is to keep tho fam ily possessions safe, lf you break a dish, fate will pursue you till you break two more. If you are unmar ried and fall going up-tairs, you will not get married until the next year; and if your chair tumbles backward your chances of matrimonial bliss for that year go with it- Getting out of bod backward causes tilings- to go wrong for the day, whilo putting your right foot out first pleases dame fort une. You have to consult her pleas ure in dressing yourself, too. fcho likes you better if you put on your rirht shoo and stocking first. You change your luck If by accident you put on a garment wrong side out. and if you want to keep your old luck the proper thing to do is to turn the gar ment, and while doing po .pit on it and s.ty: "For good luck or bad." If a widow gives you a yellow garter on Easter Sunday you will have suc cess in love if you wear it around the left leg. and success in business If you wear it around the right log.

'El 18 A. FBIK111.H TTBOM Til TKUTH EIJENSBURG, PA.. FRIDAY. AUGUST 23. 1SS9. your foot itches, you " will tread on strange ground. If your right hand itches, you will shako hands with a friend; your left h:n;1. you will get money. There is an old saying about this: "Scratch it on wood and il"li come good." Ihat many are aware of. I've seen i.ieu vhoouofht to know better hunt around for wood to scratch their hands on. and, not finding any available, take a lead jK-ncil out cf their jax-kets and rub their palms with it- A fair Wash ington belie will not have an umbrella without a wooden handle, because, she says, f.he always wants some wood around to scratch her hand on. Kven the sjHts on one's tinger-nuils come in for a share of superstition. They are called gifts. It is unlucky to cut tho finger-nails on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. If you cut them on Friday you are play ing into tho devil's hand; on Saturday, you are inviting disappointment, and on Sunday, you will havo bad hick all the week. There are people who suf fer all sorts of gloomy forclid ings if they absent-mindedly trim away a bit of nail on any of these days, and who w ill suffer all the inconven ience of overgrown finger-nails sooner than cut them after Thursday. Nearly overy body has an unlueky day, although most people look on Friday as a day of misfortune, proba bly because it is known as l.anginan's day. You can seldom find any one willing to move on Friday or Satur day. Friday is considered unlucky, and "Saturday's flitting makes short sitting." Superstition is closely allied to witchcraft, and so extends to persons. Every one has heard the expressions: "That fellow is a regular Jonah." or "He's a hoodoo," or "I never havo a bit of luck when I see so and so." This is especially so with theatrical people, racing men and gamblers. "Monkey Charley." a successful steeplechase jockey, rents his spurs out, when he hasn't got a mount, at five dollars a race to jockeys who think they can absorb sor.iu of his luck by wcariag them. Another jockey. Kelly, who rode a good deal at Guitenburg, believes that if he can touch or pass near or ride near certain rave-track habitues he will win, and resorts to all sorts of maneuvers to come in contact with his hoodoo. An other recent superstition of racing-men is that if a jockey dismount at the post before the start for nny reason what ever ho will win, aad when ono Is seen dismounting for cause, or one is thrown, there Is an immediate rush for tho bookmakers, and his mount is backed. A "mascot" is an in dispensable member of a base ball club, and when militia go a visiting they carry one also. If you can "cross the hump" of a hunch back with fingers crossed you will have good luclc. This must be done without tho knowledge of the hunch backed person, and if it is a darky the charm is so much more efficacious. If you can make the cross with money in your hand it is a sure thing that you will win any hot you make with that money. A dwarf is also a mascot for gamblers. They are often applauded for their generosity by those who don't know that they believe that giv ing to a cripple or beggar brings luck. It is considered a sign of coming dis appointment if tho first person you meet when starting out has red hair. To catch tho eye ot a cross-eyed per son is an omen of misfortune which can be escaped from by turning all the way round three times. It can be passed on by touching some one elso with fingers crossed; then the mis fortune falls on tho person touched- The influence of tho evil eye Is known and dreaded the world over, and even the most practical can not avoid a shudder on finding an eye an swering its description fixed on him. The harbingers of death are many. The banshee of the Irish is a fixity in the Celtic mind, and many weird talcs are told of its visits and grew some warnings. The howling of a dog under the window of a sick room is an appalling sound to hear at the dead of night, and Is enough to fright en a nervous person into the belief that it is a warning of death. logs have been known to go a long distance to howl under the window where some one was lying ilL Cats are also sup posed by the credulous to have the power of foretelling death. If a bird flies Into a room some one w ill die in that room before a year is passed, and if a spade is carried through a house there will be a grave dug for some ono in the houso within a year. If one eyo of a corpse remains open a near and dear relative of tho dead person will follow within a year. If a sick person takes medicino willingly and without complaint, or plays with tho cover of the bed. it fills tha mind of a norvous person with apprehension of death. Tho shamrock, or four-leaf clover. Is prized as one of tho greatest of luck bringing charms. Girls will hunt through the long summer days for tho little green emblem of fortune, and when they find it. which is rare enough, they treasure it liko a jewel or a first love letter. Few houses are without the good-luck horseshoe, al though not every ono knows how to hang it to keep good luck with taj oj-eu part up, so that the luck won't run off the points. School-girls have practiced "wish ing on" rings ever siqce rings were worn. The tricks played by young folks on Halloween aro nothing but superstitions turned to fun, but some are quite a test of nerve, as setting a table for two at midnight, then ono solitary watcher sitting down to wait for the wraith of her better half thnt is to be. The prettiest and by far tho most excusable superstitions are those attached to a wedding. The customs of throwing an old slipper or a hand ful of rice for luck, of avoiding Fri days and the month of May for wed dings, and of choosing above all the happy n:onth of roses, aro so uni versal a.s to have become aLsiost un written laws. MAKES BBK, AND ALL ABE SLAVES BKBIDO-' There are superstitions about jewels and colors, a:id in fact almost every thing animate or inanimate, and the wontior is that with them all the wheels still go rouad, and the world moves on.

Tho drummer buried his faco In his hands and leaned for a few moments motionless against the counter.

How tho Wizard AideJ In Gus tavua' Choice of a Wife. In a pretty chalet that nootled high anlust the shaggy breast of Mount Dbgadin. lived the Widow Neur and her daughter Mario. A lonely home you would havo thought it, but tho fir trees that wailed so in your cars w his pered good cheer to Mario. Whn fierce winds camo rushing down the mountain tide she kr.ew the trc-'S would bend their tall heads togethor tind twine their strong arms around her home, until robhed of his victim, tue Laflled storm rushed by. When morning broke tho same friends stood erect and stalely, draw ing aide their leaves and brauches that the sunbeams might n-Jt linger in their soft embraces, but hasten down to vakea their favorite, Marie. Very lovelj- was our little Swiss Hiiii J, w ith violent eyfrs that now danced : ml spark ied.atid then grew soft and t-nder as a little child's. Two roso-red lips shut in her pearly teeth, and w hen the smiled a tiny dimple di.ne-ed '.r a moment on her tachy cheek. Iler huir clung in caressing curls around her low, whito foiehuad and 'ell in ripples of golden sunshine far below her slender waist. And her voice! Ah! that was Mario's greatest charm. So't and clear, not a discord ant noto marred its sweet, pure har mony. Sometimes as sho sang nt her evening devotions the hordr-mcii far below in the valley, catching faint notes of her song, looked up and crossed themselves, half believing they heard the oeho of an angel choir. But very few knew of Marie's beauty, for when she went with her mother on ono of her rare visits to the hamlet Delow she brushed her wavy hair straight and smooth back from her forehead, and braided it in lor.g, stifT plaits which fell down hor back. Her eyelids, with their curtains of long, silky lashes drooped over her dancing eyes until ono looked in vain for a glimpse of their beauty. Hor red lips thut firmly over the pearly teeth, while tho dimple hid itself reso lutely away from sight, and hor sweet voice, frightened at its own sound so far from home, grew faint and husky, until in this shrinking, sober damsel walking so timidly beside the Widow N'eur you would have found it hard to recognize tho beautiful Marie of the mountains. Fo it happened that only her mother and ono other person knew how good and sweet and how fair Marie was. This other was a6tranger who came from a far-away country and spout his summers in a little house on tho mountain's very top. The simple vil lagers called him "tho wizard," and told strange tales of how he spent whole nights gazing at tho heavens through a long tube; that ho could foretell to an hour when tho sun would cover itself with darkness; but, ttrang estof all, ho had a little w ire stretcLe-d for miles over hills and valleys to tho great city. This wire talked to him iu a queer language which no one else could understand. "Tick, tick, tick ety tick," it said, and told him things that happened miles and miles away. Marie did not know how wise the wizard was when lie camo to her home one morning and asked for a drink of watei. He followed her to the spring when she went for it, and stopied by the way to break ojen a curious stone He showed Mario howqiieerly marked it was inside, and then told her a story about it. Tho usually timid maiden was so interested that she forgot to be frightened, and thus a strong friend ship between the two was beguu. After this the wizard often came to the widow's chalet for rest aud re freshment on his long rumbles, and Marie un consciously revealed her charms to him, one by one. until, long before the first summer was ended, the stranger know that no girl iu all the cauton could be compared with Marie. On the other side of the mountain from tho Widow Is'eur's home lived another widow. She. too, had but ono child, a son, who was the pride aud delight of her life, the young hunter and jjuide, Gustavus FricL Every one knew and liked Gustavus. Tall, straight and handsome, with flashing; brown eyes, and a laugh as f.-irk as a child's, ho was the favorite of the canton, and there was not a girl within its bounds who would not have been proud to plight her troth w ith him. Gustavus, however, cared little for tho Obgadin maidens. He w ould far rather chase the chamois up tho mountain side, or guide travelers through its dtngerous passes, than spend his time with the finest of the maids of the hamlet. His mother i gUen said: v- vr v postage per year in adancc. NUMBER 20. 'My son, when w ilt thou bring t:v home Am a can . vlustav:: and thy. self a. w-i .''. vi' i lung a ill p.essing a kiss o.l her forehe-id, would answer: "When 1 find a n-.al l as ;ol i as thee, mother; but 1 waul no idle, shrill-voiced wife to disturb our quied. home.'' Hut one day his mother saH. : iuro sadly and seriously than ever b-.-lore: "G us Lav us, 1 a:n growing ;ld an.l feeble. I cau no loui-r niLik.i and me:.. thy clothes and keep o-n- homo. Thou must have a wife. Promise me that at the fit next woe'r thou wilt choono one Iroiu among the inaideus there." iiistnvus reluctantly jravo her the de-ired promise, but it weighed heav ily uiMm him. Ho could tl.-v.li ol nothing el.-e afterward, and, the more he pondered, the Leavi.tr his heart grew. At lnt ho seized i.is gun Mid went out on tho mountain, but, tile p-'i p'.exing question followed him," u'. tll. in despair, he threw himself on tho ground groaning: "Oh. that some wise man would make this choice for tr.eT" A moment after ho looked up at:;! saw, as if iu answer to his vis.h. the wizard approaching him. -"W hy." he excStimed to himself, "did I nol think of l.ii:; b.-fore? Surely he, if nny one. car, help me."' Then, with a ihrobHrig heart, Gustavus sprang up and ad vanced to meet him. The wizard greeted Gustavus warmly, fer l"- fo.t a strong friendship for the young f ihhj who had taken hi;n safely throi.eh many a dangerous mountain excur sion. And now his sympathetic question: "A hy, w hat's troubling you, my boy?" ope.neil tne way for Gustavus to pour out all Lis perplexity, t-i.ting his recital with the question: "-':. .i-i thou r.ot help mo to cnoi.se a g' ...1 wife, who will make my lift; happy, from the maidens ut tho J:tc next week?" The wizard pmiled sympathetically, and then thought in silence a little while before he nnsw-eres.1 : "If n pure, true heart is united to a true, pure heart, both lives mu.-tbe happy. Th-'i i! will bo one such heart at the ft-tc, but you may fail to recog nize it. Howcve -, if you will come to me to-morrow I wi'.i five a charm that will show jou ihis heart." Here was a comfort, iudeed, and with a light heart Gustavus thanked his friend aud bounded forward. Lufl uloue, tho wizard continued iiov. ii Ihe mountvin "-hie until ho ca iu siht of the W:d. w Ncur's chalet. '.he: e ho found Marie, sitting by the spring. Instead of ller usual suit-hiny smile, tiny tear-drops stood in nor eyes, and there was a grieved look ahout her rosy lips that made him wish to Co: fort her. "What is tho mattor, little one?" he. asked, gently. "Oh, sir," she said, "I want to seo the great fete next week, but I have no pretty ornaments to wear, aud then " The long curtains drooped low over he;- shining eyes, and tho sweet voice sank almost to a whisper "the good mother says uono of tho young men w ill euro lo dance with me, for I can not talk anel laugh with them as other maidens. My heart beats fast if they do but glance toward me, and I know not w hat to say, and so" here a tear slipped from under the long eyelashes "my mother says I Lad better not go." Courage, little one," the wizard answered. "Tell your mother I am going to lend you a silver belt to wear, and thai, my knowledge tells mo that the bravest, handsomest youth in all the laud will dance with you quite joy fully." The happy Mario, as Gusta vus had done, tlii'tiked tho wizard and ran oil to tell the wonderful news to her inutile r. Karly next morning Gustavus went for his charm. He found the wizard waiting for him, and, taking him hito his straugo room, the wise man s.-tid. smiling, as ho had the day lieforo. half quizzical half syir. pathetically: "Here's tilt; charm, l.iV good fellow. You see it is a masjie ring. Put it on before you go to the ta, and be sure you dauco with every maiden there. When you place your una about tho waist of tho one whoso heart is true and good a strange feeling will run through you and your hand will cling to her." Gustavus, greatly wouderiug. thanked the wizard and slipped on the ring. It was a curious circlet of iron, with a Hat extension, w inch the w iz ard bade him weax pointing tow ard his pal ni. WLcu the fete day came Gustavus was there among the other young tnon, eager to try his charm. All tho maid ens of Obgadin canton were there also, and on tho outskirts of one of tho gay crowds little Mario hovered timidly beside Ler mother. "Why didst thou come. Marie?" asked one of the girls; "didst thou th in k any youth would want to dauco with a mouse to-day?' Then, seeing the quick tears trem bling ou Marie's lashes, she added, more kindly: "Ah! well, thou canst at least see our good times; aud what a lovely belt thou hast, Marie! Where didst thou get it?" The wizard gave it her," the Widow Near answered, riiortly. for sho did not relish the girl's tone. "Coiae, Marie, let us sit hero under the trees aud watch the dance." Mario nestled close to her mothers side, and, as tho hours fled and no youth asked her to dance, her head dropped lower and lower, aud she wondered if the wise roan had made a mistake. In the meantime Gustavus danced with ono after another of the maids but though ho watched with intense eagerness, uot oueo did he feel the strange thrill for which he wailed. "1 have danced with thein ail," he said at last to himself, "except that shy one over there; surely she is not the girL Dut, as 1 promi-ed to dance with every one, 1 will try her, too."
