Spilling of salt Is a superstition still
current among us it is derived from
the undent Romans, who used salt in
their sacrifices and regarded it us sa-
j cred to the penntes. To spill It careless­
ly was to Incur the displeasure o f these
household divinities. A fter accldental-
; ly spilling salt the ancient Homan was
wont to throw some over tho left shoul­

hoping to call away from his neighbor

A F ’ irly Good A pp etite.
A certuln knight, growing old. his
hair fell off, and he became bald, to
hide which imperfection he wore a
periwig.
But as he was riding out
; with some others a-hunting a sudden
gust o f wind blew off the fieriwig and
exposed Ills bald pate. The company
! could not forbear laughing at the acci­
dent, and he himself laughed as loudly
as anybody, saying:
“ IIo w was it to be expected that I
could keep strange hair upon mv head
when my own would not stay there?” —

A m li n Poisons th e Eye.
When sharpening a colored pencil be
careful not to get any o f the dust into
the eye. Many such pencils are dyed
! with aniline, and several cases o f se
vere injury to the eye have been re­
ported. In the Archives o f Ophthal­
mology Dr. II. J. McCurdy tells o f a
young woman who not only had the
white o f her eyes stained blue, but
j who had to have an operation per­
formed to separate the lower lid from
the eyeball, these having grown fogeth-
l er in the healing o f the sore produced
j by the aniline.

L o n d o n ’s Squares.
The square as a residential quarter
is essentially British, being analogous
neither to the French place nor the
Italian piazzo nor to the German platz.
Nowhere on the continent do we find
any assemblage o f private houses the
inhabitants o f which have a proscrip­
tive right to the ground on which their
residences abut. Tho London squares,
according to their historian. E. B.
Chancellor, “ number about 200, and
their characteristics are curiously di­

Herbert Spencer In the attitude of
superintending his household affairs
was practical niul amusing. A t one
time the poulterer had not been giving
satisfaction, so Mr. Spencer called Ills
housekeeper and gave her directions
to transfer his custom to another
tradesman whose shop faced the de­
linquent's. "And, Miss Smith,” said
the author of "Synthetic Philosophy,”
"be particular that the first poulterer
sees you giving your orders to the sec­
ond poulterer!"
