WHERE SUPERSTITION REIeNs

Vampires, diabolical ghosts, witch
es, Wien, and yengeful spirits are
held in great respect along the west
ern shores of the Adriatic Sea, and
the folklore is rich in their doings
and in the common mortals philoso-
lphy of self-preservation in a world
filled with such discouraging things.
The Alp, or nightmare, is a bitter
Old maid, recognizable by her garb,
who sits on the back or breast of the
sleeper and torments him, mayhap
fatally. She cannot, for some reason
or other, sit upon the sleeper's side,
and so the true Dalmatian never
thinks of sleeping in any other way
than on his side.
THE vampire pursues his peculiar
Dalmatian orgies in the guise of a
man or woman, lately dead and of
faulty existence, and is said to be
merely human skin filled with blood
and covered with a shroud. This
creature waits at night along byways
and graveyards for his victims, and,
also, at times, rattles the window
shutters or throws down tiles from
the roof A thorn-stick for 'thrusting
the vampire through is a means of
protection found adequate through
experience. 1t is, moreover, unusual
ly dangerous to call 10 a vampire.
Witches are bad weather Great
ures; their evil is unfettered only
with the storm and mist To kill
them, one throws three grains of corn
and a wax candle at the lightning be-
fore the thunder sounds. Thus, they
are best killed while the storm is
yet a great way off Wien are
maids with horses hOofs. Mostly
these Wien, or wool creatures, are
good and tolerant of human happi-
ness, but they have a fatal tendency
for stealing handsome, newborn chill
dren. The newly arrived baby, there
fore, in a Dalmatian district frequent
ed by Wien is closely watched until

vineyards on Innocents' Day, when
they switch the vines AMI sing:
Bear, bear fruit, pretty vine, else will
| cut off thy head This exhortation
is said to be very effective. To spill
wine on ones self is great luck, and
a luck often enjoyed along the rocky
coast. To meet a viper in the house
is also good luck; while the birth OF
black lambs or the entering of a.
house left foot first, on the other
hand, are sad misfortunes."
