ALWAYS ON GUARD
Superstitious BuIgarians Dread
Spirits Of Evil.
Observe Many Odd Customs when
They Believe Of Immense impor-
tance TO Their Welfare.

Are you one Of those who Will not
walk under ladder. raise an um-
brella in the house OF spill the salt
without casting u few grains over
your shoulder? If you believe IN
these OF the kindred superStitions fast
dying out IN this country, you VIII
feel a degree OF kinship with the aV-
erage Bulgarian peasant. For there
are SO many things a Bulgarian may
not do, writes Temple Manning. In the
Cleveland Pain Dealer.
Among the many customs OF rural
Bulgaria. to neglect which is consld-
cred unlucky and even sinful, are the
following: To bring -four into the
house and neglect to fumigate 1t with
special incense This must be done TO
drive out Of the -four any demon
which may have entered the sack.
When the housewife or her daugh-
ter goes TO the spring for water, she
must not neglect to spill little on the
ground before even starting with the
pail for the house. This is done to
turn out any elemental spirit which
has been scooped into the pail. II II
isn't done the spirit may take up its
abode in the house, and may even en-
ter the body of one of the family who
drinks the water.
/ II YOU are asked to sell loaf or
/ bread you must not part with 1t with
| out first having cut or torn of
small piece from an end. The spirit
that has helped you make the bread
must be given a chance to fly out OF
the loaf and still linger in the house
he loves.
Under no circumstances may you
give a child a spoon TO play with.
do not know just why you may not
do this, but II is considered exceed
ingly unlucky.
Nor can l account for the belief
which Is common in some far farming
sections Of Bulgaria, that 1t Is very
unlucky to give a child under seven
years OF age a bath. The child may
wash itself, but that Is its own look
out. The mother may wash the child
a little also, but not give 1t a bath al
over at one time.
Imagination easily accounts for thu
prohibition against cleaning stable
selling milk, fetching water or doint
any of the many other farm dutiei
after darkness has fallen.
But how is one to account for thu
Bulgarian belief that to permit dol
to sleep on the roof Of house vii
disturb the rest of the dead member
Of the family?
These and countless other super
stitions rule the daily work and hab
its of old Bulgarians and the youth
, who live and work In many a shut-il
section Of that billy land.

In Spain.
1.-THE death rate for babies Is fear
full in Spain," she said. IF It were
not for that sad fact the world would
soon contain more Spaniards than
Chinese; for the Spanish are a re-
markably prolific race. Families OF
Is and even 20 children are not un-
common among them.
But these children die of In their
infancy because their mothers are SO
very ignorant of hygiene. once heard

STRANGE MANIA FOR DEATH
People Of Russian Village Commit
Suicide In Body, and in Peeu-
liarIy Horrible Form.

A case Of mass suicide Is reported
from the village Of Opatovo, Russia,
In the Tamboff province, where the
peasants to the number OF more than
300. assembled together, men, women
and children, In a spacious wooden
bathhouse. Doors, windows and other
apertures were Theoretically sealed and
nailed up. In the cellar tirewood sat
urated with petroleum was in great
quantities Fire was set TO the build
ing. Everybody In the building per

located previously by the fumes. All
around the building armed guards had
been left, so that the dreadful sacT-
fee should be carried out undisturbed.
When the awful thing was consum-
mated the guards shot each other. A
few men lost their nerve at the last
moment and survived to tell the tale.
This scarcely believable incident takes
Us back a long way. Mass suicide
is not unknown In the history of Rus
sia. Brought to despair by admins
trative persecution or to escape IA
mine and epidemic, entire villages
| have committed wholesale suicide.
| Often this was the result Of religious
fanaticism. Peter I, who was some
what Bolshevist in the enforcing of his
reforms, was met in northern Russia
by numerous CONGREGATIONS involving
hundreds Of deaths. AS late as the
reign Of Alexander III case occurred
In the south when a crowd Of fanatics
allowed themselves to be buried alive
by their religious teachers.

Coal in Ancient TImsa

Medieval writers usually refer %
coal as "sea-coal" (carbones mari
timi. or carbe de mari), in order to
distinguish 1t from charcoal (car'
bons). The name evidently arose
from the fact that it was brought 70
some places by water. The name was
however, used Of coal which was cart.
ed into Chester from Ewloe, and o.
that found in the middle Of DERBY
shire. In the reign Of Elizabeth coal
was measured by the barrel, nine bar
rels to the ton.

cases ON mere technicalities. Now.
this is a sensible move and really the

forcement II many of the technical
ties in our laws could he removed.
along with orders to our higher
courts not to grant any reversals on
same. we would make n long step to-
wards law enforcement and a better
state of society. Beacon.
Your are emmnently correct. The
granting of new trials. and reversals
on mere t-chnicalites is child's play,
and doesn't enter into the category
of wise mon who have charge OF the
courts affairs. This will be a good
law.
