WHAT HOU8EWIVES HAVE BE LIEVED FOR CENTURIES. They Make the Donjih Nowadays with tho 81n of tho Cross, Just as the Ancient KomatiH Did Superstitions that Die Slowly. It would be surprising, Indeed, If there were not many superstitions nbout brend. The one indispensable article of food Is nnturully In every na tion a favorite subject of folk lore. No French peasant begins n new loaf with out crossing It with the knife. Tito English superstition that bread cracked in tile bulling portends misfortunes lu the family has taken root In America. In Germany, too, the housewife still believes that cracks on the top of the loaf of bread Indicate the death of some one In the household, or, perhaps, mis fortune to n dear friend, while cracks on tho lower, side of tho brend are taken to Indicate a birth. As many of us know, our bakers mark the sign of n cross upon tho dough before placing It In the oven. The reason for making this sign be comes plain when we know tho origin of thu custom. Almost nil our super stitions about bread date back to old pagan dnys, though they have been greatly modiiled so as to conform to Christian beliefs. With the ancient Romans, the baking of bread and cakes was often Invested with n religious slgnlllcnncc. especially tho cakes of fered to the gods nnd goddesses. These cakes were prepared In n particular way, and after being marked with tho symbol of the deity In whose honor they were offered, they were supposed to possess s'lpernntural virtues. The old domestic practice was modi iled when Christianity becamo triumph ant, nnd, lu place of a pagan symbol, the early Christian housewife not only used to mako tho sign of the cross when siie began to knead the dough, but she marked that sign upon her loaf before placing It In tho oven. Why? Simply bocnuso the sign of the cross Is tho recognized Christian protecting mark against the attacks of evil spirits, witches and thu like. Hence, bread marked with the cross Is supposed to be witch proof, will bnko all right, not crnck across thu top, etc. Just as tho Jows havo Passover cakes, and other peoples havo had spe cially prepared food for their religious festivals, so Christians havo cakes for certain seasons. Our hot cross buns on Good Friday arc simply modern representatives of the cakes used nt Homo old pagan festival. In days gone by, tho cakes and buns baked nt Eas ter were supposed to possess grent vir tue. Thus, it is an old belief that tho observance of eating cross buns on (Jood Friday Insures, so to speak, tho house from lire for thu coming year. We still eat a certain kind of pancake on Shrove Tuesday. The practice Is referred to In "All's Well That Ends Well," where tho clown speaks of n "pancuko for Shrovo Tuesday." In "rerlcles" they are cnlled "flapjacks" a term still used In country districts. In truth, to study the superstitions nbout bread Is to take a wide lesson in folk lore. These superstitious relate to thu kneading trough, tho oven, bak ers nnd bread. For Instance, In tunny parts of Franco J he "nrcho" or Intend ing trough, Is more than a rude kitchen utensil; It Is often a pretty bit of furni ture. M. Seblllot, who lias collected many of tho superstitions of tho French folk relatlvo to bread, quotes the story of n thief who entered the window of n houso( with Intent to com mit burglary, but .refused to step on tho trough still containing tho dough, believing that to do so would bo an Impiety. Tills is similar to tho Ameri can story of two hungry burglars who refused to satisfy their hunger with tho meat which they found In a well stocked Inrder becnuso It was Friday. A. writer in one of our magazines says that in Gottlaud tho cross Is still signed beforo the oven lire is lighted or tho dough kneaded. This practice Is very common In tho country districts nil over Euroiw. In Brittany tho house wife makes tho sign of tho cross with tho right linnd while sho places the left hand In the trough. After the dough Is kneaded the lid of tho trough Is shut, nnd ho is tho door; for If n cat should cuter the room tho bread would not rise. Certain chnrms of In vocations aro used to cause the bread to multiply Itself. Thus, tho peasant housewife adjures tho dough to Inil tato tho leaven, tho wheat, tho miller, and to rise. She would bo very angry If any ono should slug or whlstlo In thu room whllo sho Is making tho loaf, In Bomo parts of Europe the bnko oven Is nltnost n snered object. In cer tain places of Brittany, for example, It is dedicated with ceremonies; tho wood Is sprinkled with blessed water; the proper heat is nttested by the melt ing of a bottle, and, finally, nu egg Is broken for luck. Besides, there aro certain dnys on which bread must not bo baked, as on Good Friday or durln? tho night of All Hnlnts, when the ghosts would bo sure to eat It. House hold Words. DAMAGES FOR MORPHINE HABIT Curious Lawsuit Hecently Tried In the Kiiulleh Courts. The English medical Journals con tain reports of n curious law suit which has Just been on trial In an En glish court. A nurse brought action ugalnxt her physician for alleged uml pructiee In prescribing morphine for her in therapeutic doses, and thereby Inducing In her tho morphine habit. The doctor was accused of negligence and a desire to get rid of a trouble some patient. It hi to the credit of the Jury thnt, having heard tho plain tiff's sldo of the case, they stopped tho trial, nnd expressed tho opinion that tho action ought never to have been brought. Tho case suggests some rather curi ous rellectlons Wo do not doubt thnt some physlclnns nro sometimes rather careless In prescribing such drugs as morphine and cocaine; but It would be dilllcult to apportion the exact degree of responsibility and the exact amount of dnmnges, If every morphine tleud were to have redress In court from every physician who hnd ever pro scribed a doso of such drugs for him or her. The precedent establl'shedby ono such case would be rather dis quieting to every doctor In nctlvo prac tice. In this English case the fact that tho plaintiff wns a nurse, nnd know well tho dangerous effects of tho drug which she continued taking of her own accord, should. havo been enough to satisfy her lawyers that sho had no claims cither In Justice or In law. Such remote consequences nro hardly to bo appraised at a money value, or to be ascribed to ho fault of a physician who had merely given tho drug In therapeutic doses. Philadel phia Medical Journal. DJetl of a llrokon Heart. To ono not Intimately acquainted with the affectionate nature of ani mals It would seem absurd to say that even a household pet could die of what Is known, for want of n better term, ns "a broken heart." Yet Mr. Broderlp In his "leaves from tho Note-Book of a Naturalist" declares that the case Is not uncommon, and cites In example the tragedy of a little beaver. Blnule, as the beaver whs called, was n great pet lu tho family, and had not been long In the Loudon homo beforo ht set about building a dam for him self ns cheerfully as If he had been lu his native haunts,, Plenty of dainty little titbits from tho kitchen found their way to him through the hands of the housekeeper, who took great Interest In him and speedily won his nITectlou. Ho showed his devotion to her in many pretty nnd nmuc'tig ways. At last, on the remov al of ills master from town, ho was taken to the Tower of London, nnd put lu commodious quarters under tho enro of a kind attendant ' Everything wns done to tnnko Blnnto happy, but he lost all appetite and took no Interest lu his surroundings. Sweet meats wero brought, but ho would not touch them, nnd grew dully thinner nnd wenker. At Inst tho nttcndnnt, in des pair, took Blnule bnck to tho house keeper with whom ho hnd lived since tho earliest dnys of his captivity. At sight of her the creature gave n cry of delight and dragged himself to her side. Unfortunately, it wns too lato to rcsloro his health and spirits. He was already so weakened that ho died within a few days, much to thu grief of nil his friends. CrowniiiK of Illuhuril HI. Whllo men's mlmls us well ns wom en's aro turned on coronation robes nnd kindred splendors, It Is Interest ing to compare tho old with tho new fashions. Tho description of tho costume worn by Ulchurd III. nt his crowning and ordered by himself was, according to a list, still extant, composed of n dou blet mndo of two yards nnd a quarter and n half of blue clotliu of gold, wrought with nutts and pyno npples, with .1 stomacher of tho snme, lined oon c!l of Holland clothe, and oou ell of busfc, Instedo of green clothu of gold, nnd a longo gown for to rldu lu, mndo of eight ynrds of p'pul velvet furred with tyinbrcs nnd a half nnd thirteen bakks of ermyn, nnd four tymbres, soventeen coombes of crmyns powder ed with a.300 powderlngs mndo of bog gy shanks, and a pnyre of short spurs with gilt." To glvo tho exact meaning of tho old wording, snys tho London Chron icle, would mako a pretty task for scholars tho day beforo King Edward VH.'h anointing. But tho "longo gown for tho cyclo In" Is an obvious hint for to-dny. VixA nu ICxpi'iisivo Ono. Just now hundreds of young girls huvo tho pyrogrnphlc crnzo lu Its worst form. It Is a money-eating fad. Not only Is tho burning outfit Itnelf expen sive, but tho wooden blanks on which tho drawings nro traced with thu hot Iron, needle cost from 125 cents to nu much as $10 or $lfi, according to tho size nnd shape. The humble quarter will buy a good-sized square bit of soft pine, $1K a beautiful table or chair on which a design has been printed ready for the artist's touch. One young girl who Is restricted us to pocket money nnd yet very much Interested lu tho work, has discovered tt way to gratify hor pyrogruphle taste by visits to tho housc-furnlshlug section of tho largo department stores. Thero she buys bread boards smooth, hard wood, lii Inch, 0-cent bread boards for her plaques. Those sho finds take on n far richer brown than thu fiO-cent soft, whlto pine plaques of tho same size. Tho bread lwards can be worked up' Just ns artistically as can tho slabs mndo especially for dovotees of tho "fad." IlriglituiiliiK Up.
