perstitions have n peculiar regard for
the magical number seven, or any
number which may be divided by
seven or added so us to form Beven.
They prefer to live in a house which
is numbered seven, with seven steps,
I f the house is the seventh in the row,
and there are seven members in the
family, the charm is complete. The
seventh hour o f the day, the seventh
day o f the week, the seventh month
of tho year, are by them regarded as
especially lucky.
Others have a
special aversion to the number thir
teen. The finding of buttons iB by
some considered a lucky omen. Other
persons are superstitious as to dreams,
and still others as to the wearing of
certain charms or amulets to ward off
disease. Thus, a horse chestnut in
the pocket is considered a safeguard
against rheumatism, and a string of
peculiar sea-beans will carry a child
safely through the diseases incident
to teething. Peacock’s feathers are
unlucky; the howling dog foretells
disaster to his master’s household,
and to pass between the carriages of
a funeral procession is a portentous
omen. To meet a colored person, a
cross-eyed woman or a white horse
betokens good or bad luck as the case
may be. In fact, the most trifling
things in life are conjured into pro
phetic symbols.
Perhaps one of the oldest sapersti-
tioBs, and one that smacks somewhat
of sorcery, is the belief in the divin
ing rod. This rod, or twig, is thought
to enable certain gifted persons to dis
cover hidden springs of water. R eli
able persons declare that they have
seen the rod successfully used in
«earch of water, the twig often turn
ing so quickly in the Hands as to
break it in two. What seems remark
able is that the rod never turns ex
cept where the water is concealed.
There have been many attempts to ex
plain this mystery. 8ome believers
claim that the wand is inspired, others
that the rod is only an index, and that
the physical sensations of the searcher
communicate themselves to the wand.
The most sensible solution is that of
Paramelle, who wrote on methods for
discovering wells.
H e concluded
that the wand turns in the hands of
certain individuals of peculiar tern
perament, and that it is very much a
matter of chance whether there are
or are not wells in the places where it
turns. The twig was also used in an
cient times to point ont whero stolen
goods were concealed, to answer
uestions a la planchette, and to in-
iicate crimes snd criminals. A Bible
suspended like a pendulum has been
thought in some parts of rural E n g
land to serve the same purpose. The
credulous Hay that the wide distribu
tions of these and other popular
superstitions is proof that there is
something in them. In tbe meantime
houses go on being haunted; ghc*t«
continue to appear; tables to tip;
chairs to move without the aid of vis
