ALWAYS ON Guard
Superstitious BuIgarians Dread
Spirits of Evil.
Observe Many Odd Customs Which
They Believe Of Immense lmpor-
lance to Their Welfare.

Are you one of those who will not
walk under ladder, raise an UNI
brella in the house or spill the salt
without casting few grains over
your shoulderf If you believe In
these or the kindred superstitlons 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 Bulgarian maJ
not do, writes Temple Manning, In the
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Among the many customs Of rural
Bulgaria, to neglect which is consid
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 of
bread you must not part with II with
out first having cut or torn Off a
small piece from an end. The spirit
that has helped you make the bread
must be given chance TO fly out Of
the loaf and still linger In the house
he loves.
Under no circumstances may you
give child spoon to play with. 1
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 child under seven
years of age a bath. The child may
wash itself, but that is It's own look
out. The mother may wash the child
little also, but not give 1t bath all
over at one time.
Imagination easily accounts for the.
prohibition against cleaning stable,
selling milk, fetching water or doing
any Of the many other farm duties
after darkness has fallen.
But how is one TO account for the
Bulgarian belief that to permit a dog
TO sleep on the roof of house win
disturb the rest of the dead members
of the family?
These and countless other super
stitions rule the daily work and hab-
its of old Bulgarians and the youths
who live and work in many shut-in.
