When one expects goo I service, it H an important item that suitable utensils and equipments ho provide!. Many a housemaid wastes hours of her time every week in the almost hopeless search for dusters, scrubbing cloths aud tho thousand and one bits of fabric that one must have about the kitchen. Mtny housekeepers do not seem to realiz; that there are many tilings that require a little piece of rag or, possibly, very soft paper. O Ids and cuds of cloth of all sorts aro thrown away, torn ujf ot*, as cne over-thrifty woman used to do, put into the heater. Indeed, in more than one family the appetite of the hot airfurnace is iusatiablc, and has been for years fed with articles of great value, if properly utilized.

Scarcity of Codfish. Codfish are getting scarcer and scarcer jry year. They used to be as thick herrings on the Newfoundland shores, t uqw they are seldom found in this rt of the world.

Ono of tko commonest superstitions is that 11 ill luck attends the person who goes 3 uuder a ladder. There is senso iu this 1 provided a man bo going up that ladder * with a bod of brick, for a brick is known r to be bnrder than a human head, and the force of gravitation draws the hardened clay toward the centre of the earth. 1 The superstition concerning the number thirteen has bccu pretty gonorally Y eradicated by the Thirteen Club of New York for the club hai disproved it m J hundreds of instances. Whence it ' originated it is impossible to say. Liko 1 all other superstition) it seems never to " have had a birth, but grew spentancously r and llourished until the lie was nailed to L* the mast. Some attribute its origin to the Lord's Supper, others to the thirteen > gods of Valhalla, and the sevon-year 1 archivist of the Thirteenth Club remarks that it probably originate I with tt\o thirteen tribes of Israel, to whoiu, In. eluding Kphrann and Manasseh, sous of \ Joseph, thirteen portions of tbo promised land were giveu by Jacob. Th:s superstition declares that of thirteen persons sitting at the family or festive beard ont must nccessarilly die within a year. Liko all other superstitions, whon tho saying comes true, believers are loud aud eager in tho circulation of tho fact, but the numberless iustauccs of the fallacy of tho ridiculous prognostications are never noted by them. The same may be said of Friday, the sixth day of the week.
