BOTH GOOD AND BAD MEANING
innumerable superstltlons Connected
From Time immemoriai With
Wild Creatures.

There are very many superstitions
connected with wild animals. In the
case OF lion. 1t is believed that the
wearing of claw of this animal will
bring great strength.
People connected with circuses and
shows have saying that when lions
get restless and uneasy. either i'll luck
or extremely bad weather is at hand,
and that when they continually wash
their faces In cat-like fashion they are
likely to have fits of Ill temper In the
near future.
Numberless are the superstitions
associated with the tiger. The natives
of India believe that its whiskers are
a deadly poison, and that when finely
chopped and secretly put into per-
sons food they will assuredly cause
death. What Is known as the "evil
eye" is greatly dreaded In India, and
to avert this parents hang the claws Of
tigers round the necks of their chill
