LUCK BROUGHT BY BIRDS

THERE IS a belief current among the
Negroes and ignorant whites Of the
South that the blue jay visits the
Internal regions every Friday. This belief
varies somewhat in different parts OF the
South, for instance, IN South Carolina IL
IS supposed to be carrying sticks for the
devils fires, while in Mississippi and
louisiana the bird IS supposed to report
10 His Satanic Majesty the status Of
his affairs on earth.
According 10 Irving, the Delaware
Indians had a supeTstitious reverence for
the eagle, believing that guardian spirit
u the form Of this bird watched over
them, lowering in the sky far out Of
SIGHT When pleased with their actions,
ae sent abundant crops and made them
nave great success IN hunting; but when
displeased he would vent his rage IN the
thunder which Was his voice, and the
shghinng, which was the flashing Of his
eve, and strike dead the object Of his
displeasure. They also believed that the
feathers Of this bird would render the
weareT invisible and invulnerable
