END OF AN OLD SUPERSTITION Malght of Present New York Buildings Discourages Youngatart Thare to ■ Book Fortune. Said a Now York octogenarian: “The height of buildings In New York has dealt a death blow to an old superstition that animated many a country youth who came here to make his fortune 60 years ago. Heaven knows how they came by the belief, but moat of those up-state boys came to the city thinking that if they could toss a coin over a house they took a fancy to at the first try, the house would be theirs seme day. "It waa one of Ay surest convictions, and I put it to a teat immediately after paying for my first meal in New York. The only money I had left was an old-fashioned three-cent piece. With that in my hand I walked around looking for a desirable piece of property. Pretty soon a corner lot on which stood a two-story-and-a-half brick house took my eye. "I had practiced coin throwing in the country, so I let my three-cent piece go for all it was worth over the front of the hpuse and ran around to the back to see where it landed. It went clean over. I knew then that that house and lot would be mine in due time, and sure enough they were. People don’t woo fortune by flipping coins these dayi. The fellow whose success depends upon tossing a three-cent piece over the Singer building would be in a pretty bad fix.” CSfoedy of Corn. 4. "Say, you know how fastidious Briggs Is?” ’ "Yes.” “Well, he gets wild whenever the Maitland girl, she’s his fiancee, eats corn off the cob. She found out how he felt about It, and the other evening, at dinner at the club she tried to cut' the corn from the cob. Briggs noticed this and smiled approvingly, but just then her knife slipped, the cob popped nimbly onto Briggs’ shlribosom, the plate skidded, the gravy bowl went over and all the cbt off kernels showered themselves dangerously near the gorgeous corsage of that very stout Mrs. Singleton Mink.” “And what did Briggs do?” “Say, Briggs was game. He called the waiter, handed him the cob, and said, ‘Francois, this corn popped from the plate just now. I didn’t order popcorn. Bring the other sort, Francois, and make it cobless, please.’ ”

Curious Annamsse Customs. Mme. Gabrielle M. Vassal, the wife of a French doctor, who was attached to the Pasteur Institute of the NhaTrang, a little village on the coast of •Annam, relates some of her experiences. When she and her husband arrived at Nha-Trang they were received by the native servants, who salaamed and squatted on the door for a long period, this being their method of greeting Europeans. Serv ants had the curious habit of washing all dishes under the table; never on its top. Men and women dressed alike, wearing trousers and tunics, and women on the way to market with their baskets always walked in single file. —Born to the wife of Arpoe Miller Tuesday night, a son.
