Generally speaking, ali saintN' days and.

ed upon as lucky, presumably in relt,
ance on the maxim, 1.-The better the day

cur Lords resurrection having taken
place on that day.
Monday had no particular reputation
for good or evil; Tuesday was the same,
except among Spaniards, who said,
Don't marry or go to sea or leave your
wife" on that day. Wednesday was the
day of Odin, the Morse god, and lucky;
Thursday was named after Thor, the
&, Morse god of war, and was auspicious.
Friday YVES the day dedicated to Freya,
Morse goddess of love, and having ref

ground. The true reason for avoiding

The origin of the phrase, "a capful OF
wind" can be traced to Morse king,
Erie VI, who died in 970 A. D. He
was credited with the useful power Of
directing the wind to blow him where
he wished by the simple method Of
turning his cap to that point OF the
compass. His powers were much ap-
preciated and trusted, and resulted in
his being known as windy cap" There
Is no evidence as to whether he could
regulate the force Of the wind as well
rs the direction; presumably he could,
or his faithful believers would not have
been so many. "a bagful of wind is
another cor&mon expression and indl-
Gates something like a gale. This has
been traced down to the classical
legend of Eolus and his captive winds
