Cave of Bones.

An extraordinary bone cave" may
be seen in the island of Teneriffe.
1t is situated near the summit Of a
lofty sea cliff near Orotava, close to
the small plain of lie Paz, where
peace was finally made betweta
the conquering Spaniards and the
Guanches, the original inhabitants Of
the island.
Here the Guanches made their last
stand, and the cave formed a shelter
for the small remnant left of the
tribesmen after the Spanish had fin.
ished with them. In former times
the place had evidently been a burial
ground of the Guanches, and when
first discovered mummies were found
in it; now, however, only a large pile
of bones remains. Access is obtained
by descending a rope through a hole
dug in the roof, but the original oc-
cupants must have had difficult and
dangerous scramble down the face
Of the almost perpendicular cliff to
the natural entrance.

WHAT SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE
Odd Superstitlons That Are Prevalent
Among the Inhabitants Of Euro
pesn Countries.

In Spain the wedding is spoiled II
one Of the guests appears entirely in
black or if the bride looks into mir.
ror after orange blossoms and veil
are fastened in her headdress.
When a persons hair ends split it is
taken by the superstitious for a sign
that SHE is either a witch or has been
bewitched AS blond hair splits more
readily than dark hair, all witches
sprites and sorcercesEes have blond or
red hair, according to popular belief
Likewise, according to the standard OF
art.
On the marriage eve there is often
much good natured rivalry between
the groom and the bride in the Slav
countries as to who shall blow out the
candle, for the person who does will
be first to die" 1t is impossible TO
trace the origin of this superstition,
yet it prevails in aristocratic society
as well as in the peasants hut, even
as like this, that ito insure the life
and health of the children" the wom-
an must occupy the right side Of the
bed. In addition, she must not smoke
before her forty-ffth year.
There is a superstition in this coun.
try and many others against burning
a broom. The bud of birch broom
is used in southern Germany as a pre-
ventive against erysipelas. These
buds, piece Of yellow wax and some
ether articles, are inclosed in a pink
silk bag, secured with red silk and
worn on the back of the neck. The
person must change his shirt every
Friday.
