Are You Superstitious? If you nre you may find something among the following to fit your pecu liar state of mind: If bees swarm on a rotten tree a death in the family will ooeur withiu a twelve month. It is unlucky for a stray swarm of bees to light on one’s premises. When cats wash their ears more than usual rain is at hnnd. The sneeze of a cat indicates good luck to a bride. Cattle give warning of an earth quake by their uneasiness. A cinder bounding from a fire is either a purse or a coffin. If a milkmaid neglects to wash her bands after milking, her cows will go dry. Crickets bring good luck to a house; it is unlucky to kill them. If a crow croaks an odd number of times it means foul weather: if an even number, fine. The clicking or tapping of the bee tle, called the death watch, is an omen of death. It forbodes evil to the child if any one rocks its cradle when empty. Dogs give wirning of death by scratching at the dror of a house. If a rat or mouse, during the night, gnaw on clothes, it is indicative of some impending evil. Pigs running about with straws in their mouths fortell rain. If you count the number cf fish you have caught you will catch no more that day. It is unlucky if a hare runs across the road in front of you. To eat the food which a mouse has nibbled will give a sore throat. A fried mouse is a specific for small pox. To meet a sow with a litter of pigs is very lucky. A snider worn in a nutshell arouud the neck is a cure for fever. If a swallow builds on a house it brings good luck. To kill a swallow is unlucky. When swallows fly high it will be fine weather, and vice versa. The Cotton Movement.

Heavy Crop Losses at Hammock. Hammock, Fla., May 29.—Owing to a scarcity of rain there is a heavy Ion in the vegetable cron. Sixty five per cent, will not more than cover the damage. It is now nearly seven months since rain fell. Tbe season commenced one month later than usual for shipping. The drought caused a discontinuance oi shipping of northern winter cabbage.
