S%uperstitions Regarding Whistling.

Captain Burton tells us how the Arabs
dislike to hear a person whistle, called by
them ell sifr. Some maintain that the
whistler's mouth is not to be purified for
forty days, while according to the explana-
ton of others, Satan touching aman's body
causes him to produce what they consider
an offensive sound. The natives of the
Tonga Islands, Polynesia, hold it to be
wrong to whistle, as this act is thought to
be disrespectful to God. In Iceland the
villagers have the same objection to whist
ling, and so far do they carry their super
stitious dread of 1t that ''if one swings
about him a stick, whip, wand, or aught
that makes a whistling sound, be sc ares
from him the Holy Ghost" while other
Icelanders, who consider themselves free
from supeJstitions, cautiously give the ad-
vice: "Do IL not; for who knoweth what is
in the air?" However eccentric these phases
of superstition may appear to us, yet IL
must not be forgotten that very similar no.
tons prevail at the present dav in this
country. A correspondent of Notes and
Queries, for instance, relates, how one
day, after attempting in vain to
get his dog to obey orders to
come into the house, his wife tried 10 coax
it by whistling, when she was suddenly in
terrupted bp a servant, a Roman Catholic.
who exclaimed in the most bteous accents:
'If you please ma'am, don't w~histle-every
time a woman whistles the heart OF the
Blessed Virgin bleedsl" In some districts
of north Germany tn villagers say that If
one whistles in the evening IL makes the
angels weep = Popular Science Monthly.
