Cnlucklness seems to be confined to the bringing of tbe tall feathers of Ju no g bird Into a house. I am not aware that this idea Is held outside this coun try, and If It Is confined to England many various causes may have led to the belief, which possibly arose In com parntlvely modern times no earlier than tbe crusndes. Nothing Is more probable than that several crusaders brought home the gorgeous feathers as curiosities, a strauge sight and so like ly to make a deep Impression. Nothing la easier to conceive than that some misfortune death from disease, loss of wealth or other "bad luck" may have happened to more than one possessor of the beautiful feathers find that tbey would on that account soon be credited with being the cause. A belief of this kind once started Is of rapid growth and very long lived. London Notes and Queries. Lnvi.
