known is the clicking or tapping OF
the beetle called death watch' wnicn

The bowling Of dog at night near q

an old saying among the supersuuouS
runs, mo person can die On Ded OF

That the gnawing Of furniture oy

superstitlon. To meet certain animals

meet n SOW with litter of pigs Is very
lucky, but it is unlucky If o SO"
