SIGNS AND SUPERSTITIONS.

If you see a load of empty barrels It’s going to rain. If you can’t break an apple you’ll dlt. an old maid. Every time a star fall? there’s a deafl somewhere. Cobwebs in a house are a sign there ts no kissing there. If it doesn’t clear up at 11 or 3 It won’t clear up all day. If the water boils away on the stove It’s a sign it is going to rain. If her petticoat hangs below het Iress it’s a sign her father loves her best. Pu* on something new New Year’s Day and you’ll have plenty all through the year.
