ihere are very many superstitions con-

a lion, 1t is believed that the wearing of

People connected with circuses and

tremely bad weather is at hand, and that
when they continually wash uheir faces
In cat-like fashion they are likely to have

is known as the ''evil eye Is greatly
dreaded in India, and to avert this par

necks of their children.
To see wolf is supposed to be a good
sign, but II a man sees a wolf before
