The general belief that Friday is a day of ill luck had its origin in the history of Christ, the crucifixion tak- ing place on that day. Friday, however, by many has been held to be a lucky day, as in Scotland it is a favorite day for weddings. Fri- ‘day has been a peculiarly lucky day in the history of America. It was on Friday, August 3, 1492, that Columbus set sail on his voyage of discovery, and Friday, October 12, that he first sighted land; Friday, November 22, 1493, that he reached Hispaniola on his second voyage; Friday, June 13, 1494, that he reached the continent ot America. Some other events taking place on that day in America were the Battle of Bunker Hill, June 17, 1775; Sara- toga surrendered October 17, 1776, and it was also on Friday, July 17, 1776, that the motion was made that the United Colonies of America are and ought to be free and independent. HOW THE POLKA ORIGINATED Bohemian Servant Danced About the Kitchen to Lighten Her Work, and Composer Noticed. The origin of the polka has just been discovered. It is sald on good authority that the dance originated in one of the little villages of Bohemia, where a servant, tiring of her work in the kitchen, thought to make it lighter by dancing around the kitchen and singing at the same time. The mis- tress of the house overheard her and called her into the parlor, where she was asked to dance the peculiar step over again. A musician by the name of Neruda was present and he some time later wrote music for the step. The name polka comes from the Czech language, meaning half step. In 1839 the polka was introduced into Vienna and it made a great suc- cess. The writers of the popular mu- sic of the day adapted it immediately to their work. The polka was danced on the stage in Paris for the first time at the Odeon in 1810, and from the stage it passed to the drawing room. Don’'t You Remember? The love of reminiscence is deep rooted in us. We do not need to have length of years in order to possess it. All we need to have is a consciousness of the past as past. Some years aga a little friend of mine, then four yeara old, attained a new phrase, “Don’t you remember?” I say “attained,” because it was evident that she had not only enlarged her field of expression by a new word, but that she had enlarged her field of experience by a new sensa- tion—the sensation of reminiscence, For the phrase, “Don’t you remem- ber?” always ushered in a story out of her small past, some event of the preceding winter or summer, some glimpse of history in which she had ‘been actor witness. It was always ut. tered with shining eyes and a flush of delight, which deepened if 1 was able to catch her reminiscence and recog. nize and enjoy it with her. Yet the things remembered were very simple —a drive, a walk, a kitten, a child wa tering his garden or falling down. The pleasure came, clearly, not from the original quality of the experience, but from the very act of remembering. She ! was tasting the pure pleasure of remi | niscence. Watching her, I fell to won. dering what was the precious quality of this pleasure whose flavor she wax beginning to taste.—Atlantic Monthly, True Companions. There are some men and women in whose company we are always at our best. All the best stops in our nat- ure are drawn out by their inten course, and we find a music in our souls never there before.—Rev. Pro- fessor Henry Drummond. Rubbing It In. Mayor Stewart, at an insurance men’s banquet in Saginaw, told an insurance story. “A septuagenarian,” he began, “said one evening at dinner to his fair young wife: “‘My darling, I have just insured my life in your favor for $100,000." “‘Oh, you duck!’ the beautiful girl cried, and, rising and passing round the table, she kissed her husband lightly on his bald head. “‘Darling,’ he said, taking her slim white hand, ‘is there anything else I can do for you? “ ‘Nothing on earth,’ she answered; and then, with a little silvery la’ b, she added, ‘Nothing in this w. L Nothing under heaven.'”—New ..
