The IiIca of a being, haH wolf, half

of old-vrorlii superstition still to lc
found in s, cry many Huiojicnn countries,
and strengthened, no doubt, by the dis
cos cry, at times, of children who have
been carried otT and cared for by wolves
who preferred the r61e of foster-mother
to that of devourer-an occurence of

animal with his skin. The myth of the place,
giant wolf Kcnris, the offspring of evil
!.oki and the giantess Angutboda, who
created snch a disturbance among the
gods in Asgard, gave a semi religious
authority to the man-wolf idea in Scan
dinavia. Professor de Gubcrnalis, in his excel
lent volume on " Zoological Mytholo
gy," mentions a she-wolf in an Esto
nian story who comes up on hearing
the cry of a child, and gives it milk to
nourish it. "The story tells us that
the shape of a wolf was assumed by the
mother of the child herself, and that,
when she was alone, she placed her
wolf disguise upon a rock, and ap-

I'ittis, the good patrcs or fathers, and
the followers of Indra, the transition of
thought by which the spirit-wolf and
the human form became amalgamated
Is easily imagined. -There
appears To be plenty of evi
dence that, at different times, a form of
madness has broken out by which iruu
victuals have fancied themsches to be
turned into wolves. Button, in his
"Anatomy of Melancholy," describes
this disease, which he styles l.ycan
thropia, as "when men run howling
about graves and fields in the night,
and will not be persuaded but that they
are wolves or some such beasts." He
quotes authority for many instances;
one, among tnc rest, 01 -apoornus-bandman
that still hunted about graves,
and kept in churchyards, of a pale
black, ugly, and fearful look. Sucli be
like," continues the garrulous old writer,
"such, belike, or little better, were
King Proteus' daughters thai thought
themselves kinc; and Nebuchadnezxar,
in Daniel, as some interpreters hold,
was only troubled with this kind of
madness."
King James the First also speaks in
a somewhat similar manner in the First
chapter of the "Third Hook of Dxmo
nologic." Pliny states that men were
changed into wolves, and again into
men: Pausanias narrates a history of a
man who remained a wolf for ten years:
and Ovid, in his " Metamorphoses,"
describes the transition of Lycaon,
King of Arcadia, who was turned into
a wolf as a punishment for offering
human flesh to the gods.
A legend also speaks of one of the
family of Ambon, who, selected by lot,
proceeded to the shores of a lake in
.Arcadia, where- -nficr -impending his
garments to the. branches of an oak, he
The husband informed of this, orders
that the rock be heated, so that when
the wolfs skin is again placed upon it,
it may be burned, and he may thus be

self his wife. 1 he slicwoir that gives
her milk to the twin brothers, Romulus
and Remus, in Latin epic tradition, was
no less a woman than the nurse-wolf of
the Esthonian story."
In Germany (he transformation is be
lieved to take place by means of a belt
made of wolf-skin, and should this be
unfastened or cut, the man-wolf im
mediately looses his wolf nature. Mr.
Kelley; in his " Curiosities of Indo-
European Tradition and Folk Lore,"
speaks o( these girdles being onrc for
sale. "A sale," says he, " was made by
order of the authorities, of a heap of
old things that lay in a room in the
Erichsburg. Among them were old
implements of the chase which had
been taken from poachers, and also
some werewolf girdles. The Amt
mann's man, having a mind to'try the
effect of the latter, buckled one of
them on, was immediately turned into
a wolf and started off for Hunncsruck.
The Aratmann rode after him, and
cutting at his back with a sword, served
the girdle, whereupon the man re.
sumed his proper shape." Another
story is told of a little boy who put on
his fathers girdle, and was transformed.
His father overtook him and unfast
ened it. The. boy afterward said that,
the moment he put on the girdle, he
became ravenously hungry. A common
German story, also quoted by Mr.
Kelley, is that of a charcoal-burner,
who, believing his two companions to
be asleep, fastened his wolf-belt around
him, became a wolf, and devoured a

plunged in and swam across. Chang-I been feigning asleep, had observed hrm,
ing into a wolf, he was condemned to land when, on their way home, he com.
wander for nine, years ; but should he
have abstained from feeding on human
flesh, he was permitted to resume his
former shape by swiming back again,
and regaining his clothes which were
still in the tree.
Herodotus states that the Kcurians
became wolves for a few days once a
year, and then returned to the form of
men. Virgil and Propertius give the
same transformation, and Petronius
tells a story related by Niceros at
Primalchio's banquet in which he
(Niceros) set off to walk in the early
morning accompanied by a "valiant
soldier, a sort of grim water-drinking
Pluto. About cockcrow, when the
moon was shining as bright as midday,
we came among the monuments. My
friend began addressing himself to the
stars, but I was rather in a mood to
sing or to count them, and when I
turned to look at him lol he had
stripped himself, and laid down his
clothes near him. My heart was in my
nostrils, and I stood like a dead man;
but he made a mark round his clothes
and on a sudden became a wolf. Do
not think I jest ; I would not lie for
any man's estate. Hut to return to what
I was saying. When he became a wolf
he began howling, and fled into the
woods. At fisrt I hardly knew where I
was, and atterward, when I went to
take up his clothes, they wet turned
into itonc Who then died with fear
but I? Yet I drew my sword, and
went cutting the air right and left, till I
reached the villa of my sweetheart"
Here he is told that a wolf had been at
the farm and worried the cattle, but
that a slave had run a lance into his
neck, so tic sets off home as fast as
possible. " When I came to the spot
where the clothes had turned into
atone, I could find nothing but blood.
But when i got home I found my
friend the soldier in bed, bleeding at
the neck like an ox, and a doctor dress
ing nis wound, i ttien knew he was
a turnskin (versipcllis), nor would I
ever have broken bread with him again
ho, hot if you had killed me."
The title "turnskin" is also in ac
cordance with' the Norwegian idea of
the werewolf, as the change has always
been supposed to have been affected by
means of a skin robe, or sometimes a
girdle, which could be put on or taken
oft In the Middle Ages the bandit or
outlaw was said to wear a caput lupinum
or as it was called tn England, wulfcs--heofod
(wolfs head). King Harald
Harfagr had a body of men called
UUhcdnar (wolf-coatcd) to distinguish
hem from the Uersckcr (bearskin
.biffed), and these men, according to
tift, were originally supposed to put
plained of an internal pain, they told
him it was hardly to be wondered at
when a man had a whole foal inside
him. " Had you said that to me out
yonder," replied the werewolf, "you
would never have reached home again;"
and saying this he disappeared, and was
not again seen.
Another German tale tells of a
farmer who was driving his wife through
a wood, and who suddenly alighted,
telling his wife to drive on, and to
throw her apron to any beast that
might attack her. She was attacked
by a wolf, who tore her apron into
shreds, and then retreated. Upon her
husband's return she saw some threads
of her apron sticking between his teeth,
and knew he was a werewolf. Iron or
steel thrown or held over a werewolf is,
in Germany, supposed to split the wolf
skin, so that the man comes out
tnrougn tnc torencao. Loups garoux
are still supposed to linger in some
parts of France, but during the six
teenth century many people were
burned to death, having been found
guilty of assuming the form and habits
of the werewolf. In Portugal, the
legend of the Lobis-homen still sur
vivos, but it appears to be often con
fused with another superstition, that of
the demon horse, the phooka of Irish
tradition.
The following Polish stories are given
in Naake's translation of Slavonic fairy
tales. Some young people were danc
ing and enjoying themselves on a hill
near the Vistula, when an enormous
wolf seized one, of the handsomest girls,
and was dragging her away. Some of
the youths foltowed and overtook them,
when the wolf dropped the girl and
stood at bay. As they had no fire-arms
the young men stood irresolute, or hur
ried back for weapons, so the wolf again
seized the girl, and bore her into the
forest. Fifty years passed, and another
feast was taking place on the same hill,
when an old man approached. The
people invited him to join them, but he.
sat silently and gloomily dowa An old
peasant entered into conversation, and
was astonished when the stranger hailed
him by name as his elder brother, who
had been lost fifty years before. The
aged stranger then told the wondering
peasants that he had been changed into
a wolf by a witch, and had carried away
his betrothed from, that hilt during a
festival, that they had only lived to
gether in the forest for year, and then
she bad died. He showed them his
hands covered with blood, and said ;
"From that moment, savage and furi
ous, I attacked every one and destroyed
everything I fell in with. It it now four
yar twee I again changed to huLun
I Imo wandered from place to
t wished to see you nil once
more, to see the hut and village where 1
was born and grew tip a man. After
that ah, woe is mc ' Fly, fly from me.
I shall become n wolf again I" lie was
instantly transformed, howled pitcously,
and disappeared in the forest forever.
The second story is of a peasant with
whom a witch fell in love. As he
slighted her, she told him that when
next he chopped wood in the forest he
would become a wolf. He laughed at
her threats but they were fulfilled. He
wandered about for some years, but
would never cat raw flesh, preferring to
frighten away the shepherds, and cat
their provisions. At last he woke one
clay from sleep, and found himself once
more a man. He immediately ran to
his dd home, only to find his parents
dead, liis friends dead or removed, and
his betrothed married and with four chil
dren. In this and the preceding talc
there is a trace of the Rip van Winkle
incident and its older original. A third
story is also given, but space will not
allow its transcription.
In the story of the leshy, or wood
demon, given in Ralston's "Russian
Folk Talcs," there is a strong resem
blance to a portion of the former tale,
which might suggest that the leshy and
the werewolf were not unconnected.
The wood demon carries a girl off into
the forest, where she lives with him
until he is shot by a hunter. The story
of "The Treasure" in the same volume
speaks of a goat-skin uniting with the
body of a pope or priest, so that he
could not take it off, thus becoming half
animal as in the tradition of the wolf-
man.
Dascnt, in the introduction to his
"Popular Talcs from the Norse," shows
that the belief in werewolves was com
mon in Sweden in the sixteenth century
Going back ii.to mythical times, he
states that "the Volsunga Saga ex
pressly states of Sigmund and Sinfistli
that they became werewolves, which, we
may remark, were Odin's sacred beasts.
The wolfs skin. . . . was as
sumed and laid aside at pleasure," In
"Mortc d'Arthur" (Bookxix., chap, n)
mention is made of "Sir Marrok, the
good knyghte, that was betrayed with
his wyf, for she made hym seucn yerc
a werewolf." In a Latin poem of the
twelfth or thirteenth century (printed
in the Rcliquirc Antiqurc, ii., 103) there
are some lines describing men in Ire
land who could change themselves into
wolves and worry sheen, and who, if
they were wounded in their wolf form,
retained the wound on regaining human
shape.
Sir Frederick Madden, in his "Note
on the Word Werwolf (William of
Palerne, Edit. 1832), states: In "The
Master of Game," a treatise on hunting
composed for Henry the Fifth, is the
following passage : "And somme ther
ben . . . that ctcn children and men,
and eten non other fleischc from that
tymc that thci ben acharmed with
manncs fleisch. . . . And the! ben
cleped werewolves, for that men shul
den be war of them." The ancient
romance, to which this was a modern
note, was translated from the French at
the command of Sir Humphrey de
liohun, about a. d. 1350, and gives a
curious history of a werewolf. Alphouns,
eldest son of the King of Spain and heir
to the crown, was bewitched by his step.
mother Braundc (who wished her own
son, Braundinis to be the heir), and
turned into a werewolf. This wolf car
ried away from Palermo William, the
child of Embrons, King of Apulia, swam
the Straits of Messina with the boy, and
took him to a forest near Rome, not
doing him any injury. The wolf went
to obtain food for the child, and, in his
absence, a cowherd found the boy, took
him home, and adopted him. William
grows up, and is given by the Emperor
of Rome to his daughter as a page.
The romance deals with many ad
ventures; but, at last, William and the
Emperor's daughter, Melior, become
lovers and elope together dressed in the
skins of two white bears. They wander
Until they find a den, where they are
hidden. When they are suffering from
hunger, the werewolf finds them, and
brings them cooked beef and two flasks
of wine, of which he had roblied two
men. The Emperor of Rome, who had
betrothed Melior to Partensdon, son of
the Emperor of Greece, still pursues the
wandering lovers, who are guided and
helped by the wcrewolt. Alter many
adventures, they reach Palermo, which
they find besieged by the Spaniards.
William, who has a werewolf (tainted on
his shield, takes the King and Queen of
Spain prisoners, and compels Queen
Braunde to reverse her enchantment,
and to restore the werewolf to his
original human form.
Wolves have been so long extinct in
England that it is hardly to be expected
that there should now linger any tradi
tion of them, but the old werewolf idea
seems to have been closely allied with
tnc nornuie vampire. indeed, so
prominent a personage as one of our
kings King John himself is said, in
an old Norman chronicle, to have wan
dercd in this shape after death. The
monks of Worcester were compelled,
by the frightful noises proceeding (ran
his grave, to dig up his body and cast
it out of consecrated ground.
Some old story of a man possessed
by the wolf-demon may perhaps have
suggested to Shakespeare the outburst
ofGratiano to Shylock, who was so
vindictively pursuing his victim to olh

In Normandy, a hundred years ngo,
the vampire-like Loup Garou was sup
posed to be the rc-nnimatcd corpse of
one who had died in mortal sin, and
had risen from the grave to prey upon
mankind. First, the corpse began to
gnaw the face-cloth, then it wailed and
shrieked horribly, burst open the coffin,
and flames nrosc from the ground.
This pleasant spectre then commenced
its midnight murders in the wolf form,
and these could only be stopped by the
priest taking up the body, decapitating
it, and flinging the head into a stream.
It is worth mentioning, in addition to
the remark in the beginning of our
paper, that the discovery of wild chil
drcn reared by savage animals in the
woods may have strengthened the belief
in half-human animals, that Dr. Hubsch,
physician to the hospitals of Constanti
nople, stated that in 1852 lie saw a
specimen of one of a central African
tribe which possessed tails and fed con
stantly on human flesh. Mr. Baring-
Gould, in his article on Tailed Men
("Curious Myths of the Middle Ages"),
gives the history of John Struys, a Dutch
traveller, who, he states, visited the Isle
of Formosa in 1677, and who thus de
scribes a wild man whom his compan
ions caught, and who had murdered
one of their number: "He had a tail
more, titan a foot long, covered with red
hair, and very like that of a cow."
Before taking leave of this interesting
but ghastly superstition, I would men
tion the derivation of the prefix "were"
in the word werewolf, as given' by Sir
Frederick Madden : "Wcr," or "wcra,"
a man, being the same as the Gothic
"wair," Teutonic "wcr," Francic
"uura," Celtic "gur," "gwr," or "ur,"
Irish "fair," Latin "vir," etc.
Gcrvaisc, of Tilbury, writing in the
reign of Henry the Second, states:
"Vidimus cnim frequenter in Anglia
per lunationcs homines in lupos mutari,
quod hominum genus Gcrulfos Galli
nominant, Angli vcro werewlf dicunt;
were eniin Anglicc virum sonat, wlf,
lupum." All the Year Round.

The Pled Viper of Hamelln.
The Pied Piper's charming of the
children had its six hundredth anniver
sary celebrated with great pomp and
parade at " Hamclin town in Bruns
wick," Germany, Saturday, June 28th of
last year. The true day was Thursday,
but the weather forbade, and thousands
of visitors spent the two extra days
among the people of the town and the
surrounding country. The legend that
was thus commemorated is one of the
quaintest ever told, being briefly this
that in 1824 a magical piper drew all
the rats out of the town to follow his
piping to the Weser, wherein they
were drowned, and when the burgo.
master refused to pay him the thou
sand crowns he had been promised, he
set his pipes agoing and led the child
ren from their homes straight into the
Koppclberg, which opened to let the
procession in, and closed after them.
I It is a familiar legend to this generation
though-Robert Browning's poem, one
of the few really popular things he has
written. The way the children followed
the piper's note is thus charmingly pic
tured :
There was a rustling that seemed like a bus
tling Of merry crowds justling at pitching ami
hustling 1
Small feet were paltering, wooden shoes clatter.
ing,
Little hands clapping, and Utile tongues chat
tering, Aud like fowls In a farmyard ben barley Is
scattering
Out came the childrca running. '
All the little boys and girls,
With rosy cheeks and flaxen curls,
And sparkling eyes and teeth like pearls,
Tripping and skipping, ran merrily after
The wonderful music, with shouting and laugh
ter. Hut Mr. Browning dated this occur
rence July 22, 1376, instead of June
16, 1284. The celebration, Saturday,
was very picturesque. All the build-
ings were decorated, the streets adorned
with arches of greenery and flowers.
After the legend had been recited, in
front of the old house which the piper
is said to have dwelt in 600 years ago
(and which bears an inscription to that
effect now), a procession of hundreds
of children, dressed, b the custom of
thetimeof the legend, led the way to the
Koppclberg, to the strains of the pipe.
Behind the children followed a great
array of citizens, reproducing the
costumes and properties cd" that ancient
date, and a most interesting spectacle
must have been presented. The after
noon was given up to amusemMta, and
in the evening Nckrs opera of "The
1'ied Piper" was rendered; a torchlight
procetsion and a splendid display of
fireworks elated the hoUihy.Sr;-
