SUPERSTITIONS OF MANY LANDS CON NECTED THEREWITH. Origin of the Signiog of the Crow —What a Cr*« k Acrott* the Loaf Mwu»» —The Oven a Sacred Ofcjjert —Omen* Kelatin* to Birth, Marrlanjf :ind L>eath. One morning last summer, when I was sptmdiiig a few days at a farm house in eastern Ohio, the good house wife showed that she was troubled Naturally I inquired the cause. "Oh," she said, "I'm afraid something dread ful will happen. This morning I put a batch of bread into the oven, and all the loaves except one cracked across the top." "What if they did?" I replied in tones of curiosity. "Don't yon know," she said, with an air of surprise, "that when bread cracks across the top it means misfortune to some one in the family? I would not have had it happen for the world." As I left a few days after this mishap to the bread I never learned whether the sign was a true onaen or not. However, the housewife had contributed to my stock of information and had given me an item of folk* at led to further investigation. One of my German friends tella me that in many parts of h < native country the housewife still 1 .eves that cracks on the top of the uf of bread indicate the death of some one in the household, or perhaps misfortune to a dear friend, while cracks on the lower side of the bread are taken to indicate a birth. As many of us know, our bakers mark the sign of a cross upon the dough be fore placing it in the oven. The reason for making this sign becomes plain when we know the origin of the custom. Almost all our superstitions about bread date back to old pagan days, though they have been greatly modified so as to conform to Christian beliefs. With the ancient Romans the baking of bread and cakes was often invested with a re ligions significance, especially the cakes offered to the gods and goddesses. These cakes were prepared in a particular way, anil after being marked with the symbol of the deity in whose honor they were offered they were supposed to possess supernatural virtues. The old domestic practice was modi lied when Christianity became trium phant, and in place of a pagan symbol the early Christian housewife not only used to make the sign of the cross when she began to knead the dough, but sh« marked that sign upon her loaf before placing it in the oven. Why? Simply because the sign of the cross is the rec ognized Christian protecting mark against the attacks of evil spirits, witches and tho like. Henco bread marked with the cross is supposed to bo witchproof, will bake all right, not crack across the top, etc. Just as the Jews have passover cakes and other peoples have had specially prepared food for their religious festi vals, so the Christians have cakes for certain seasons. Our hot cross buns on Good Friday are simply modern repre sentatives of the cakes used at some old pagan festival. In days gone by the cakes and buns baked at Easter were supposed to possess great virtues. Thus it is an old belief that tho observance of eating crass buns on Good Friday in sures, so to speak, the house from firo for the coming year. In truth, to study tho superstitions about bread is to take a. wide lesson in folklore. These superstitions relate to the kneading trough, the oven, bakers and bread. For instance, in many parts of France the arche, or kneading trough, is more than a rudo kitchen utensil. It is often a pretty bit of furniture. M. Sebillot, who has collected many of the auperntitioua of tlio Froucli folk relntivo to bread, quotes the story of a thief who entered tho window of a house with in tent to commit burglary, but ri fused to 6tep on the trough still containing the dough, believing that to do so would be an impiety. A writer in one of the recent num bers of an English magazine says that Li Gottlaud the cross is still signed bu foro tilt' oven fire i- lighted or the dough kneaded. This practice is very common in the country districts all over Europe. In Brittany the housewife makes the sign of the cross with the right hand while she places the left hand in the trough. After the dough is kneaded, the lid of the trough is shut, and s« is the door, for if tho cat should enter the room the bread would not rise. Certain charms or invocations are used to cause the bread to multiply itself. Thus the peasant housewife adjures the dough to imitate the leaven, the wheat the miller and to rise. She would be very angry if any one should sing or whistle in the room while she is making the loaf. In some parts of Europe the bake oveti is alunist u object. In certain places of Brittany, for example, it is dedicated with ceremonies. The wood is sprinkled with blessed water. The prop er heat is attested by tho melting of u bottle, and finally an egg is broken for luck. Besides there are certain days on which bread must not be baked, as on Holy Friday or during tho night of All Saints, when the ghosts would bo sure to eat it. Tho loaf of bread itself is connected With a whole crowd of superstitions. A longtime resident in France informs me that the custom of marking the bread with tho sign of the cross before cutting It is very general. Sometimes the first mouthful uf bread is used to make this sign. According to an old English su perstition, if a loaf accidentally parts in the hand while an unmarried lady is cutting it this may lie taken to indicate either that she will not be married dur ing the next 12 months, or, what is worse, that there will be dissensions of some kind in the family. Some folks havo a fear of turning a loaf upside down after cutting it. Of course it is •everywhere regarded as bad luck for a piece of bread to fall on tho buttered Side.—New York Post.
