OMENS ON WARSHIPS

The most picturesque superstitions of the seas are those which govern a mod- ern man-o’-war. Tvery old salt in the navy believes in and spells which may work all sorts of evils on his ship and must be carefully guarded against.

The powers of a ship’s hoodoos com- mence before the ship has entered the water. It is a generally accepted super- stition that if the first blow which is struck the keel brings sparks the ship is destined to suffer from a raking fire from the enemy.

The old time practice of stealing a piece of wood and imbedding it in the prow for good luck is, of course, impos- sible in the case of steel ships, though it is considered lucky to have a piece of stolen wood on board.

Another old superstition is satisfied by placing a silver coin in some crevice of the fighting top of tke mainmast or some place below decks where it touches the steel mast. Originally it was a very common custom to imbed a silver coin, and preferably a Spanish coin, in the wooden steps near the mast.

Figureheads have been in high favor with sailors from remote antiquity. Originally they were carved to repre- sent some god or saint. Even today a sailor would hesitate to sail on an iron- clad without such protection.

The ceremony of launching a ship is merely a concession to an old supersti- tion. The various formalities of ship christening have been followed with littie variation for centuries.

In the early days of shipbuilding it was the custom fce the captain and the crew to eat their first meal stowed away in the mold loft. Their meal invariably consisted of eggs and sulphur. From this custom hus come the present day practice of providing cakes and wine for the crew. And the old libation which the priests used to pour over the prow of the ship as she slipped into the water has been repjaced by the break- ing of a bottle of champagne.

SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists. Toronto. the water with flags waving trom every masthead. In order to gratify this old superstition it has been necessary to ex- pend hundreds of dollars for the chris- tening of a single ship. But no one be- grudges this extravagance. In a way it is necessary.

The good or ill luck of certain days is still a belief among the sailors. Fri- day is a day of ill omen, and Sunday is usually a lucky day.

A superstition about women is a relic of the old belief in witchcraft. It is thought that a woman by throwing sand in the air on shipboard can produce violent storms. Not many years ago some women who traveled on English warships were tortured during a storm tu make them quiet the waves.

These barbaric beliefs, however, are partially compensated by the supersti- tion which sailors bave held for centu- ries that beautiful children bring a blessing to a ship. The Neck was a handsome boy with golden curls. It is said that he is always accompanied by a black lamb and carries with hima golden harp. Ourold salts have especial confidence in @ ship which is christened by a child.

The average sailor is superstitiovs about the r™ging of the ship’s bells In olden times the bells were blessed before they were used. At present, if a mistake is made in striking the hour, the sailors insist that the bells at once be struck backwards to break the spell, and if by any chance the wind should catch the bells and swing them all the way around, or if they strike nine bells, it is believed that it will be the last of that ship.

All good warships go to the ‘‘shores of Fiddler’s Green’’ asa final resting place. Just where this mythical harbor is situated no geographer has yet decid- ed. It is in every way the antithesis of ‘‘Davy Jones’ locker.’’ A warship which goes down in battle with her flags flying, as occurred several times during the civil war, goes to ‘‘ Fiddler’s Green. ’’

The tattooing habit is, of course, very common in the navy. Itis believed that au arm ora leg decorated with the de- sign of a gun or a sword or some such design will never be lost in battle.— San Francisco Call.

A Real Utopia.

Dunwich, Moreton bay, Queensland, consists of about 1,000 inhabitants. In four years there have only been two births and two deaths.

There are no streets, no omnibuses or trains, no soldiers, no police, no shops. There is a beautiful theater, and every one is admitted free. Clothes are free, and so are food and lodging. Very few do any work, and there are no hotels. Very little money is required, and med- ical attendance is free.

There is a lockup, but that is not used. There is also a postoffice, and if short of money the letters are stamped free. There is also a free hospital and library.—London Tit-Bits.

The English Flag.

England’s national flag has been called ‘ta triplet of crosses,’’ for it is composed of the cross of St. George, the cross of St. Andrew and the cross of St. Patrick. Thus: The flag of ‘‘St. George for merrie England,’’ a red cross on a white ground, the red lines drawn straight from top to bottom and from side to side; the flag of St. Andrew for Scotland, a white cross on a blue ground; the flag of St. Patrick for Ire- land, a red cross on a white ground, the narrow red lines drawn from corner to corner. By placing the cross of St. George on that of St. Andrew we have ‘the Jack,’’ as ordered m 1606 by James 1, whose signature was always ** Jacques ;’’ hence the expression, ‘‘the Jack.’’ By laying the cross of St. Pat- rick over that of St. Andrew and then placing that of St. George over both, we have ‘‘the union jack,’’ as borne since the union with Ireland in 1800.— Boston Transcript.
