be witch proof, will bake all right, not
crack across the top. etc.
Just ss the Jews have Passover
cakes, and other peoples have had sne-
has (dally prepared food for their religions
festivals, so Christians have cakes for
certain seasons. Our hot cross buns
on Good Friday are simply modern
representatives of the cakes used at
some old pagan festival. In days gone
by, the cakes and buns baked at Eas
ter were supposed to possess great vir
tue. Thus, it is an old belief that the
observance of eating cross buns on
Good Friday Insures, so to speak, the

We still eat a certain kind of pancake
on Shrove Tuesday. The practice Is
referred to In "All s Well That Ends

"pancake for Shrove Tuesday." In
"Pericles" they are called "flanlacks"
a term still used In country districts.
In truth, to study the superstitions
about bread Is to take a wide lesson
In folk lore. These superstitious relate
to the kneading trough, the oven, bak
ers and bread. For Instance, in many
parts of France the "arehe" or knead
ing trough. Is more than a rude kitchen
utensil; it is often a pretty bit of furni
ture. M. Seblllot. who has collected
many of the superstitions of the
French folk relative to bread, quotes

DAMAGES FOR MORPHINE HABIT
Carious Lawsuit Recently Tried la the
Enietlan Courts.
. The English medical Journals con
tain reports of a curious law suit
which has Just been on trial In an En
glish court. A mtr?o brought action
against her physician for alleged mal
practice In prescribing morphine for
her in therapeutic doses, aud thereby
inducing in ber the morphine habit.
The doctor waa accused of negligence
and a desire to get rid of a trouble
some patient. It Is to the credit of
the Jury that, having beard the plain
tiffs side of the case, tbey stopped the
trial, and expressed the opinion that
the action ought never to have been
brought
The case suggests some rather curi
ous reflections We do not doubt that
some physicians are sometimes rather
careless In prescribing such drugs as
morphine and cocaine; but it would be
difficult to apportion the exact degree
of responsibility and the exact amount
of damages, If every morphine fiend
were to have redress In court from
every physician who had ever pre
scribed a dose of such drugs for him
or her. The precedent established by
one such case would be rather dls-
