“ Jumping” customs are to be found
in numerous countries among the su­
perstitious peasantry. In Russia, on
Midsummer eve, young men and
maidens carrying a straw figure of a
mythical hero, jump over a bonfire in
couples. This act is supposed to help
the crops. In Baganda, South Africa,
when the beans are ripe, a woman calls
upon her eldest son to eat some of
them which she has cooked. If she
neglects to do this it is believed that
she will fall ill. After the meal her
husband must jump over her, Follow­
ing this the beans may be eaten with
impunity by the family. These people
also treat fishing ceremoniously. The
first catch of the season is devoted to
the god Musasa. The second catch is
taken home and, after the fish have
been cooked and eaten, the man of the
family jumps over his wife and all is
well. Otherwise, distress may ensue.
In Uganda, when a warrior returns to
his home after a campaign, his first act
is to jump over his wife. Before start­
ing out on a warlike expedition each
general must jump Over his wife, or
disaster will befall.

Early Envelopes
Those Fool Questions
When envelopes were first made the
sealing flaps were ungummed and were
closed by applying at the point of the
sealing flap a wafer of sealing wax.
About 1S-1Ó there appeared on the mar­
ket envelopes with a small “ lick of
gum” about half an inch square at the
point of the sealing flap, and this very
soon supplanted the wafer of wax.
When, however, as a still further Im­
provement, some manufacturers began
to gum the whole of the sealing flap,
many protested against it; and while
willing to moisten the small spot of
gum, for sanitary reasons they were
not willing to “ lick” thè entire flap
After some time this prejudice was
overcome and envelopes with gummed
flaps rapidly came into favori—Path­

Scene of W esley’s Labors
The border of Fermanagh county }s
one of the strongholds of Methodism
in Ireland. It came under the per­
sonal sway of John Wesley and his
influence has never been forgotten. In
the cou rse-of his missiona.ry visits
AVesley crossed the Irish Channel no
fewer than 42 times, and carried the
tenets of his faith even as far west as
the Cobnty of Limerick. In one of the
Wesleyan chapels there a long coach­
ing horn is still, hung up in the vestry
room. It is not a relic of a sporting
parson, but was used In the old days
to call in the flock when Wesley or one
of, his itinerant preachers paid an un­
expected visit.

Habits of Silence Inbred
In the old days Ojibway children |
pere taught to be seen and not heard,
lor to be heard might have meant
Lath. When the scream of the hoot
I'.vl or other strange noises came from ;
le woods, they snuggled closer, b u t! js&xsssaas
Jept all the- quieter, . for the noise
■which they heard was liable to be the
signal of a prowling enemy, and to
lave cried would have been to have
revealed the hiding place of the family
or tribe.
{ Thus through > the thousands of
years that the Indians lived -in con­
stant danger of attack, the ‘ habit of
silence was bred In the blood. Even
i)w the Ojibway "youngster will take
a severe jolt without a sound, and
even come up smiling. *
No Change at All
“Ybil’ve heard of a person being in a
quandary,' haven’t you?” Peterson
asked.
“ Sure,” replied Brown. “ Why?” *
“ Well, I just had a'letter from an
old friend, and he’s in ode. He’s been
in rather bad health for some time, so
the other day he went to see a doctor,
and the doctor advised hint to take two
or three months’ complete rest. That’s
where thè quandary comes in. He’s
been working for the government for
15 years and doesn’t know where to
look for a more complete rest.”—
