tion --A Chtinete 1Notion"•Tito Hump- failure, but
backed Person, fools.
There is au old superstition which says,
"You must never watch e. traveler out of
sight," and still another, "You mann
bid him godspeed thrice and good luck
auto, and no.turn your back to the bow of
the boat while speaking the words." Only
a few weeks ago, while malting ono of
throng of people who were bidding adieu
to friends bound across the Atlantic, I
noticed that the words "good luck" were
oftener used in ono form or another than
any other expression of farewell; it was:
"Good luck go with you," "Good luck to
you," "Luck to you," "Good -by and good
luck"; and ono old Irish grandmother,
after devoutly crossing herself, called out
to her daughter, "The blessed Virgin
bring you and good luck back to me,"
while I among tho rest found myself say
ing, "A lucky trip to you, captain," as
that monarch of all he surveyed stepped
onboard his kingdom, a big ocean steamer,
although I am afraid I was tempted to
say it not so much in my belief of the
good it would bring him as in a fore-
knowledge that he was not only honestly
superstitious, but firmly believed In such
a wish bringing the safe, quick voyage he
hoped for, and I am glad to say that in
this case tho omen proved good.
With somo sailing masters, however,
such an expression would foretell any-
thing but good luck, and In fact many
people dislike to have luck given them in
this way, believing that it is ill luck to
speak of luck at all; and there aro others
who, whether they believe in it or not,
like to have pleasant things prophesied to
them, or, in other words, "they are not
superstitions, but they do like to' have
the signs on the right side."
STARTING ON A JOURNEY.
There are plenty of wise mon and women
who will on no account turn back after
starting on a journey; if compelled to,
they must, sit down or change somo gar-
ment before going out again; others who
think it the luckiest thing in the world
to have left something. that they really
need, for thea they say, '!We are sure to
go back," especially a pair of slippers or
an undergarment. Scotch people are very
superstitious about the first person they
moot in the morning on going out for the
day or starting on a journey. If it is a
woman, and she is well dressed and pleas=.
nut looking, then it is good; a beautiful
child is rare good luck, especially if you
Can get the little ono to notice you; a
business man with a quick, brisk walk,
or a workman with his tools and filled
lunch pail, is also lucky to meet; while
the postman, policeman, doctor and priest
are all forerunners of anxiety, and you
"need be unco canny and unco wary, for
there's muckle depends on your prudence
; that day."
A universal negro superstition—and T
have found it existing among the Israeli
ites of New York city—is to ask a question
of any stranger who strikes their fancy,
and if answered satisfactorily, they be-
lieve they have taken that person's luck.
I once asked an old colored aunty who
had been eying me for some time, and
who I saw was about to make somo in-
quiry, why she wanted my luck. Sho
looked at me' a moment, and seeing I was
in earnest, said, "Well, honey, I don't
want all your luck, but you's young and
kin got more, and I's gwine to see my
daughter, who am expecting a little baby
;girl, and I wants her to look just like
you." Tho compliment was appreciated,
and so when she left the cars I carefully
dropped a silver dollar where she would.
see it. Picking it up and holding it out
for me to see, she exclaimed, "I knowed
you'd bring me luck."
A Gorman superstition, and one said, to
alter your luck if it does not please you,
is to change or remove somo article of
clothing, such as the right cuff to the
left arm, or your earrings or finger rings,
or tako oil your hat, being -careful to put
it on straight.
A CHINESE NOT/017.
Tho Chinon believe that when starting
on a journey it is great good luck to have
an insect or reptile go out before you, or,
bettor still, to cross your path coming
from the loft side.
1f you aro not thinking of taking a
journey and find a koy, you may expect
very shortly to have to pack your trunk.
To start on a journey with the new moon
is by far the luckiest thing ono can do.
A white mark on the nail of tho little
linger of either hand is said to foretell a
journey, the old saying, "A gift, n friend
a foe, a lover to come, and a journey to
go," being firmly believed in by more
than one wise woman. Cut your nails on
Saturday if you wish to travel, for to cut
them on Monday is to cut them for health,
on Tuesday for wealth, on Wednesday for
ek letter, ,on Thursday for better, on Friday
for woe, on Saturday a journey to go.
It is considered very lucky by some to
moot a humpbacked person when starting
on a journey, and if you would have rare
good luck bo surd to touch his hump.
When starting on a journey remember
to put your right stocking on first and
your right foot out of the house first, and
do not look back at tho house after the
front door is closed.—IIarpor's Bazar.
