Popular Superslitlonr.
The following arc among the most pop
ular superstitions :
That of thirteen persons at a table, one
will die within the ear, is distirtctly
traceable to our Lord s last supper, when
there were thirteen and Jle died! The
spilling of salt is derived from the Eastern
idea that eating salt with a man, or having
eaten salt, blinds you to him. In the In
dian mutiny, the faet of having eaten of
John Company's salt kept many men
faithful; and it was constantly thrown in-tne-"
itaa1- "cthr-oar1- Jut.- L- VrA
wasting or spilling this symbol of friend
ship was considered unlucky. Stammer
ing at beginning a speech means that xi
you begin ill you are liteiy to go on Hi
and badly. Magpies being rxnraeky is &
superstition most likely as old as the ark,
or older. It is both Celtic and Teutonic.
Certain animals crossing our path is re
garded unlucky; but the reason why is
probably lost in the mists of antiquity.
That animals should be killed at certain
times of the month is founded on the be
lief that their meat will keep better and
be less likely to be putrefied by a weak
and waning moon than by a strong and
waxing moon.
Washing hands in water that has been
used by another, causing them to either
kiss or quarrel, has been referred to Pilate
washing his bands; but I think ft must be
referred to the older use and custom which
he illustrated, of washing an evil deed off
his hands into the water, or any that touch
ed it How many ladies tell you to bow
to the new inoonj that it is unlucky to see
the new moon through glasses ; to turn a
piece of money in your pocket for luck the
first time yorf see the new moon, which was
at least as ancient as the time of Job, who
emphatically declares that he has never kis
sed his hand to the moon.
A great deal of curious matter is to bo
found in these notions. Among fishermen
there is a belief that a salmon weighs mora
when dead than when just caught ; apropos
of a man weighing more when dead than,
when alive, and which is very likely true,
as when the lungs are inflated a man really
weiirhs less, otherwise why does he float

higher in the

water? The twelfth wave
on the sea-coast is really the largest. The
belief in the rowan or mountain ash being,
efficacious against witchcraft is known oyer
Europe.

In a lecture on the "Philosophy of the
Oven," Prof. E. N. Horsford thus de
scribes the method of making good bread i
Select good, plunipj fully ripened, hard
grained wheat. Have it freshly ground,
and not too finely bolted. Prepare tho
yeast as follows i Boil thoroughly with ,
the skins on in one quart of water enough
potatoes to make a quart of mashed pota
toes. Peal the boiled potatoes and mash
them to fineness : mix intimately with
them cne pint of flour, and stir the whole
to an emulsion with the water in which,
the potatoes were boiled. Cool the pro
duct to about 80 degrees, (Iukewarmnesa,)
and add half a pint of the best fresh ba
ker's east and a tablespoonful of brown
sugar. Set aside the mixture at an even
temperature of about 80 degrees till it
works well, or is in active fermentation.
Of this yeast take half a pint to a gallon '
(7 pounds) of flour, mixed tvith three pinto
of water, or two of water and one of milk,
all at the temperature of about 80 degrees, .
and a little salt, knead thoroughly, and set
aside to rise at the temperature mention
ed. When it has risen to nearly the
full volume for the dough, divide it into
loaves, set it aside at the temperature al
ready named till it attains the full size of
the loaf, arid place in an oven heated to
not less than 450 degrees. Let the loaves
of dough be smaller than the tins. Keep
them covered with flat tin plates or stiff
japer till the dough is fully raised and tho
leat carried up to and sometimes main
tained throughout the loaf at 212 degrees,
to convert all the starch to the mucilagi
nous or emulsion form and destroy the
ferment. Then remove the cover and per
mit tho browning to take place. If the
loaves are large, a higher temperature will
be required. Seven pounds of flour will
make eight loaves of li pounds each when
bak?d, or four of 2 J each. Such yeast
will ieep a week in winter, and from two
to four days in summer. Bread made
wLh it, in faithful obedience to these in
struction, will be good.

A minister once prayed in the pulpit
that '.'the Lord would bless the congrega
tion assembled, and that portion of it which
was on its way to church, and thosa who
were at home getting ready to come, and
that in his infinite patience he would grant
the benediction to those who reached tho
house of God just in time for that." Ti e
congregation came on time after that.
';Kate1" cried a girl, looking down
from the upper story of a grocery, addref -sing
another girl who was trying to cnttr
the front door, "we've all been to camp
meetin' and been converted, so when yen
want anything on Sunday, you'll have tq
come round to tho kitchen door."
"Not Guilty," said an Omaha jury,
'but if tho prisoner is smart he will leave
the territory before night." Ho left.
