SEE GOOD AND BAD
OMENS IN SNEEZE
East Indians Superstitious
on the Subject.
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."
