Serbian Supertitions,

The daily life of the Serbian is
full of superstition. He is su-
perstitious about the manner in
which he rises in the morning,
about what first meets his sight
how he dresses and washes and
whom he meets what food
he eats and the time and man
ner of serving throughout the
entire day. Attention is also
paid to whether the cocks crow
in time, whether dogs bark much
if frogs croak or the wind blows.
Again, special notice is taken of
the kind of rain that falls, thun-
der, how stars shine, il the,
moon has a halo, if it shines
through a cloud, etc.. etc.
The Evil Eye" is alone ac-
countable for disease and death
The Serbian believes that for
each maIady that flesh is heir to
God has given a remedy. He
believes that for each pain there
is a healing herb. He believes
in witches - beautiful young
maidens who come forth from
the dew and are nourished in z
mysterious mountain. They
meet in the branches of trees
and are most dangerous at sup
per- time.
