WARE OF OFEVIL EVILi EVlL EYE E E 1

A Superstition Sup8lstiti ll That is IS Centuries Cehtulies Ce hturies Old OId ci <
Witch B Kahuna and Ghost h Shoot ¬
er Still Vivid Perils to Many
One of the oldest olde t and most wld wide vt
spread of human beliefs balletsone one whli which wli
lit laa been adhered to to by some of tl the i
earths most learned and pious as
well cl1 its ts her lowliest Is that of the i In
fluenno filten e of the evil eye upon hair human
beings anlnials and oven plants A
person with ait an eVil evi eye was and Is
still In some quarters q arters supposed to 1 bo
gifted with the power of exerting i an
evil influence or fascination on ar any a
one by a glance from the eyes I By
tho ancient Romans It was w as called fa fas f
cimim dawn and aUI by the Greeks baskanl
and to both it was an Integral In tegra part i of
the popular JoInr be belief lief
Even in these the e modern days tl tbe
evil eye fallacy Is to be found 1 in
every country on the face of tl the
globe lobe Here it Is especially prevalent
among the immigrants who flock I to
our shores shor eS In such countless nun nui
bers Many of them have carts certain
persons among their friends whoi whom whc
they suspect of having an evil eye If
the child of an Italian or Polls Polish Poll
mother begins to cry suddenly sh a she
will at once attribute it to the ev evil e
eye of some one who has basloolted looked t at
the youngster
It is not children alone that th the t
evil eye threatens It affects grow grown gro
up people animals and even th tlJe t
crops In the field
But St t Is to lovers or newly n wly married
couples that the ev evil il eye Is most dnr dci
gerous An evil eye will make th the tI
sweetheart faithless It will tram
form the best husband It brings dli dl
cord Into the homes where love an and ai
harmony reigned That is what ti th the
superstitious ones believe
Many and varied are the mean meni
adopted to counteract the effects o of i
the evil eye Amulets of various
forms the most common thos those tho
shaped like horns like a frog or 11U lIle iii
a band handare are wora and such device
adopted by way wa o oi safeguard as e es ex
pectorating on t the e grouna or on th tbe U
breast showing something rldlculou
to the fascinator dissimulating goo good
fortune or doing something unplens
ant by way of counter penance
The Italians who are Inveterate be b
hovers in this foolish superstition ar are ai
partial to a charm in the shape of o 11
tiny hand the Index and little finger
being pointed out and the th third am and an
fourth fingers being held down b by 1
the thumb Thisjlttle charm Is made
of various materials coral tortoise
shell silver and gold being the one ones on
in n highest favor v
The following are a few of th the tl
many charms against the evil eye oy
The kernel of the fruit of t the Je pain
tree a sprig of rue sweeping a child chlldB
face with the branch of a pine tree tre
hanging around a childs neck fenne Cennel fenn
seed or bread and cheese

early arly days of the existence of th the
American merlcaa colonies
From Burlington in Pennsylva
nla New Jersey was doubtles
meant tis advised that the owner owners
of It several cattle believing them to bi be b
bewitched cause d some suspected
men nen and women to be taken up an ant and
trials to be beUlade made for detecting em
About three hundred people assem
bled near the Governors house and
a I pair of scales sc es being erected th the
suspected persons were were each weighed
against a large largeBlbe Bible but all of then
vastly outweighed it The accused accuse
were then to be tied head and feel
together and pu putinto put tyinto j Into a river tb the <
Delaware elaware on supposition that if theY the
swam not they they must be guilty This Tb
they hey offered to undergo In n case their
acc accusers sers should be served in Ilk 11M
manner which being done they all a
swam very buoyantly and cleared the Ui
accused
A most extraordinary belief and am
pet ct one which vhl h has had a worldwide world wide
currency urrencyis Is that of theablIlty the ability abilityof of cer ¬
tain persons to accomplish the dealt
at f others by various magical pro
jesses In Europe and America the th
persons ersons so gifted were commonly
known flown as witches and In the earl early
Jays aye when they were caught at their their
nefarious practices death was their
portion ortion The march of civilization
has as uprooted this superstition from
the be minds of most civilized peoples
jut Ut it is still In vogue among the Ig ¬
norant while In the Islands of the th
Pacific andjn Asia it flourishes in
many queer forms
Even to this day the older Ha ¬
waiians blood will run cold and he
will ill take ta ke to his bed in very v ry horror ae as
soon Don as the thethought thought strikes him that
some one is attempting to pray
him ilm Iza to death This is an ancient su ¬
perstition in the islands and it IE
only > ely within recent years that implicit
faith aith Ith in the ability of the kahuna
or 3r r priest to accomplish his nefarious
purpose in this manner ma nner has been
broken
I Formerly a person who felt that
he lie C had been Injured by another would
g 50 0 to a certain kakuna and antlby by giv ¬
ing ig him presents procure his aid in
praying his enemy to death The
Inhabitants of the South Pacific Is isl

A superstition whose origin Is lo lost
In the myths of antiquity and yet stt stili at
flourishes in every clime Is that thli thir tii
teen Is an unlucky number Whll VliI
the belief Is usually associated will wi
thirteen at at table It has been extended
to the number when used to man mark
rooms room s In hotels staterooms on ship shills
windows in banks and offices ek ci
The Turks so dislike the number tha that th
the word is almost expunged from fro
their vocabulary The Italians neve never nev
use it in making up the number o ot
their lotteries In Paris no house
bears the number In the Austria
hospitals one finds no ward thirteen
or staircase thirteen while very fe few
patients will consent to be operate
on on the thirteenth
And yet et thirteen has not ala alas
been accountrj unlucky It was thi the t
sacred number of the Mexicans ant and an
the lio people of Yucatan
From very early times the belle bali
In n lucky and unlucky days has pre pr
vailed and the times of weddings am an

The lover when he places the v visl isl
be le pledge of his affection upon the
han ian and d dof of his sweetheart would not no
think for a moment of placing ll llupon ft upon
other ther than the ring finger flngerast aslt is ir
sailed or the finger on the left hand ham
between > e the long and the little fin
gers ers If asked why this finger was w w h s
selected not one In a thousand could
give lve an intelligent explanation
Aulus Glllius a Latin writer of th the thq
second cond century A D gives the th reason reason
for tor r it He says in dissecting corpses
it t had been beenfound found that a certain slen s len
ler er sinew or nerve ran direc tly from
his tie finger to the heart so that It
seemed emed quite fitting that this finger
should ould be the one to bear the rln g l1l
ireemlnently a token of affection
It t was not until long after that thatit it was
discovered that there was no such in
imacy macy between the finger and a nd the
heart as had been thought to exist
A very old and nnda a very odd super

a person from drowning The belief

thatthe hat cat the spirit of f one who has died
violently will return to earth if a I

It was at one time believed gen
