Sneezing auperstitlon* are found to *1010*1 every nnintry, but In none are they so nunieriMii ax In I ii>tl a. Yay# u t'aleutta writer. In s.oil.nuJ, for example, It Is a prevalent I'lea that idintb me iucapa ble of sneezing. and that I lit* power to <ln SO indicates the possession of a < -eruln degree of Intelligence. la WttleH, sneeulng Is considered general Ijr unlucky. In India, the significance of a anee/e depends very much on the clrcuip atancea under which It M heard. The formula for calculating lta significance la aa follows: Add the numb.cr of day* between Sunday un<! the day of the week on which the omen has occurred te the number of Jauuiana, I.e. watches, (of three houiv* each),! that have elapsed since the daybreak on the day In queatlon, and subtract the total from eight. If the remainder Is one, the sneezing portends harm from ene mlea; If two, It forbodea lllneas; If three, fear of starvation; If four, It foretells receipt of good newt; If five, the coming of friends; If six, It Indi cates coining prosperity; If seven. It Indicates bad luck ; If eight. It fore shadows a great tumult. These are for single Mi&'z'es, If tlje ?needing which la' to be Interpreted la a double sneeze the opposite of these will happen. If It Is a aeries of sneeze* It Is all unlucky. As u rule the sneez ing of men Is auspicious for women, und vice versa. Hut the sneezing of a widow, or of an armed man, or a man with disheveled hair. Is always of eyiU Import *, us also that of the cat, row, sheep, buffalo, or n number of women. Hut I he sneeze of a woman carrying a baby In her arms la a fore teller <>f great riches. It' another sneeze _xxli;'n one Is takina medicine, or ^fi ling in n \ehiele, or inking a seal, ur studying a book, or planting seed, it is u lucky rtmeh. A pious Brahmin always touches his right ear when he sneezes, in order to prevent the entry into the body of evil spirits, which are supposed to do so chiefly through the ears. It spoils one's peace of niiud to l It i n k that whenever one sneezes one Is blasting the happiness of another man, itr spoiling the chances of success ill his undertaking. The significance of h white man's sneeze has not yet. however, been dlst'6vered, and included in i lie lore of Indian superstitions. What Party Consists Of "I wish to protest." writes- a- woman, "ugalnst a habit of saying In every notice of a party that 'refreshments were served.' Of course they were served. If there, had l\<?en no refresh ments there would have been no party, for that Is all the hostess thinks of, and is the first and last thought In (he minds of the guests. Some men and women will stay out of bed till midnight, the men because they can't help themselves and the women be cause they want to see what there will be to eat, and the eating, which doesn't appear before 10:30, consists of a dab of Ice cream, a flstfull of cake und perhaps coffee to keep the victims awake the rest of the night. Of course refreshments were served I That Is all there Is to a social affair." -Atchison Olobe.
