UCO.Lt. IL ALWAYS ON GUARD Superstitious Bulgarians Dread Spirits of Evil. Observe Many Odd Custome Which They Believe of immense Impor ! tance to Their Welfare. Are you one of thuose who will not walk under a ladder, raise an um brella in the house or spill the salt without casting a few gralni over your shoulder? if you believe in these or the kindred superstitions fast dying out in this country, you will feel a degree of kiniship with the av erage Bulgarian peasant. For there are so mlany things a Bulgarian may not do, writes Temple Manning, in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Among the many customs of rural Bulgaria. to neglect which is consid ered unlucky and even sinful, are the following: To bring flour into the house and neglect to fumigate it with special incense. This must he done to drive out of the flour 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 a little on the ground before even starting with the pall for the house. This is done to turn but any elemental spirit which P has been scooped into the pail. If it 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. If you are asked to sell a loaf of bread you must not part with it 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 a chance to fly out of n the loaf and still linger in the house he loves. Under no circumstances may you give a child a spoon to play with. I k do not know just why you may not i do this, but it is considered exceed ingly unlucky. Nor can I account for the belief which is common in some far farming Ssections of Bulgaria, that it is very Ik 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 it a bath all e. over at one time. S, Imagination easily accounts for the h, , prohibition against cleaning a stable, s selling milk, fetching water or doing 0 any of the many other farm duties after darkness has fallen. , i But how is one to account for the :Bulgarian belief that to permit a dog to sleep on the roof of a house will disturb the rest of the dead members e of the family? a These and countless other super d, stitions rule the daily work and hab ir its of old Bulgarians and the youths in who live and work in many a shut-it to section of that hilly land. Bitter Joking. to Ellnor Glyn, the novelist, was talk nd fag to a reporter about her long visit in Spain. "The death rate for babies is fear em ful in Spain," she said. "If it were - nhe ot for that sad fact the world would of soon contain more Spaniards than Chinese; for the Spanish are a re markably prolific race. Families of 15 and even 20 children are not un common among them. nd "But these children die off in their . infancy because their mothers are so e very ignorant of hygiene. I once heard t two Spanish dortors joking-Joking Ms bitterly, you know-about this ma m, ternal ignorance which does so much harm.
