FOR THE SUPERSTITIOUS.
To make tea too strong is a sign of new friend, i If you make it too weak then yon will lose friends. If you sing while making bread you ■will weep before it is eaten. To forget to put coffee iu the coifeepot is 11 sign of a coining gift. If a cork pops out of a bottle suddenly, beware of an unknown ciiemy. A quarrel is coming if you allow a, cooking->lovo to get red-hot'on top. In washing ilishcs, if you forget an article, you will soon hear of a wedding. If ii girl who is kneading dough clutches a lad's face, he'll never grow a beard. When bread, cake, or pie will burn in spite of you, your husband or lover is angry wilh you. If, while opening a I'm of fruit or anything .similar., tlie juice should happen to spurt out in the operator's face, it is a sign of some coining good. .SMI.— And if you place, too much weight on these, omens, you are simply looking for trouble.
