DREAMS AND OMENS.
Moat people have a special dream that forebodes ovil; and many declare that it is t fact that ono who boasts of being "so ■'' ' Tory well" to-day, finds himself ill on the morrow, There may be some good reason for it if it octually happens so often. To tumble up stairs is supposed to postpone ; a wedding. "You'll not be married this year,' orics some ono. And to turn '' back three times is regarded' by iriany as i' a warning to remain at home, Terror seizes a bride's heart if it rains on her : wedding morn, and to wear the wedding •ring for a moment before it is put on for n' is believed to bring very ill luck in- .' As for an opal—the prettiest stone : possible, though a very minor jewel—- ' ■ many are very superstitious about that. It is the silliest fancy in. the world, but hundreds of people would not put one on their iimjor for anything. Its baneful way of changing from red or blue to stoue .. colour is fiendish, and its fire, that glows ■ and growß dim by turns, is uncanny. . .
