Moon superstitions.

The eclipse Of the moon is full OF
portent to the Macedonian Mohammed-
ans. 1t indicates bloodshed. 1t is
met with reports of firearms, and the
imams call from the minarets the
faithful to public prayers in the
mosques. This recalls in a striking
manner the practices of many savage
and barbaric nations. The great ma
tons of Asia, such as the Hindoos and
the Chinese, still cling to the belief in
the eclipse monster. The latter meet 1t
with prayers. like the Turks. But even
in civilized Europe, both ancient and
modern, one finds numerous proofs of
this superstition. The Romans came to
the succor Of the afflicted moon by
flinging firebrands into the air, by the
blare Of trunpets and the clang of
brazen pots. The superstition survived
through the middle ages into very
late period. France, Wales and Ireland
offer many instances as late as the
seventeenth century.

means she took were very simple. A

they wished separation or divorce from
their husbands, they could claim pro-
