Supei stit.ous Bulgarians Dread

Ob??rvo Many Odd Custom* Whit*
v They Bcntve Qf Immense Imp^r
Urtcs to Their Welfare.
Are you one of. ih??M? Wlio will not
walk under a ladder, rulse mi um
breiia in tJU'M or nplll the suit
without casting a few grains over
your shoulder? If you believe m
these or the kindred M||HM'*|UiollS fast
dying out In this eountry, you will
feH a device (|f; kinship with t lit* av
erage Unitarian peasant. For there
'lire so many things a Bulgarian may
uol do, writes Temple Manning, in th?
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Among the many customs of rural
Bulgaria, to neglect which Is consid
ered unlucky airtl even sinful, are ths
following: To bring flour into ths
house and neglect to fumigate It with
?pedal Incense, Thl* must be done to
drive out of the flour any demon
which uiay have entered the sack.
When the housewife or her daugh
ter goes t?> the spring for water, site
must not neglect to Spill a little on the
ground before even starting with lbs
pail for the 'house. Tills 1h done to
furn out any elemental spirit which
bus been Scooped !nto the pail. If it
Isn't done the spirit may take up Its
? bode In the house, ami may even en
ter the body of one of the family who
drinks the water.
If you are linked to sell a loaf of
bread you must not part with it with
out llrst having cut or torn off n
small piece from an end. The spirit
that has helped you make the bread
must be gKven a chance to fly out of
the loaf and still linger in the house
he loves.
Under ho circumstances may you
give a child n spoor, to play with. I
do not know just why you may not
do this, but It is considered exceed
ingly unlucky.
Nor can I account for the belief
which is common in some far farming
sections of Bulgaria, that it 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 it a bath al|
over at one time.
Imagination easily accounts for t h?
prohibition against cleaning a stable,
selling milk, fetching water or doing
any of the many other farm dutie?
after darkness has fallen.
But how Is one to account for ths
Bulgarian belief that to permit a dog
to .sleep on the roof of a house will
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 nnd the youths
who live and work In many a shut-in
section of that hilly land.
Bitter Joking.
Elinor fllyn. the novelist, wns talk
ing to a reporter about hop long visit
In Spain.
"The deaf!) rate for babies is fear
ful In Spain." she said. "If It wore
not for that sail faet the world would
soon contain more Spaniards than
Chinese; for the Spanish are a re
markabJv prolific race. Families of
lf> and even 20 children are not un
common among them.
"Hut these children die off in their
infancy because their mothers are so
very ignorant of hygiene. I om e heard
two Spanish doctors Joking -- jok ing
bitterly, you know? about this ma
ternal Ignorance which. does so much
ha rm.
" 'Ves,' .said the first doctor, *I>on
na I'ilar's new baby died otT. off. <>f
course. At tlio age of two months sh?
was feeding it on pork, cheese and
w ine.'
" '1'ork, cheesy and wine- a g?nni
? diet. that, for a two months' old haby,'
; said the second doctor. 'The rl? It llo
i mars, though, have a better one for
their youngster. They give it for din
j tier every evening a brace of chops,
fried potatoes, sweet pudding and a
? stiff whisky and soda, with coffee,
liqueur and a giKxi strong Havana d
! gar to follow.'
Aviation Marvel Found.

what whs good enough for their grand
father* Is not gwd enuugb Cor them;
There In t ti?> rnh. The civic Idealists,
many of them Anierlelfus." who set
out with ii vision' of model towns
rising from old ruins are running*
up against the same quirks of
human nature encountered by Sir
Christopher Wren, when he tried to
rebuild a London beautiful after the
great fire of l(W5d, remarks the Llter
ar.v Digest.
If left to themselves, .loan and
Jeanne would rebuild their homes and
Shops exactly a* they were before
(Tern) an artillery reduced them to
ditet and tender memories. A sln>f?
keeper fears that his customers will
not find his shop unless It Is the replica
of Its; predecessor.. And madam would
like to have her spinning wheel sot
as It was when she stopped spinning
In the summer of 1014.
Habits are Strong.
The habits of centuries are strong
among the pollus. Nevertheless, the re
con struct ion 1st s nro hopeful. Outlines
of plans for model towns to replace
those destroyed have been appearing
ofT and on In French and other
period lea Is for some time, and one of
the latest projects will he tried out
as an experiment, with the financial
, having of an American Committee.
This plan was prepared under the
auspices of the French organization
known as l,a Renaissance des Cites,
which is seeking to have spring up on
the ruins of northern France communi
ties which shall combine modernity
with ?he char in that Is so striking a
characteristic of French towns many
centuries old.
La Renaissance des Cites has al
ready helped over 200 towns In north
ern France to prepare reconstruction
plans. In addition. It is doing educa
tional work1 of various kinds In' the
rest of the communities In the devas
tated lands- ? aggregating about 2,100.
In order to further the work of re
construction. La Renaissance des
Cites decided to create a model vil
lage. After studying more than l,.">oo
towns and villages throughout the
devastated areas, It finally selected the
village of IMnon. on accownt of Its hav
ing a population typical of northern
France, both from the farming and
Industrial points of view, and also
on account of Its being near Paris
on direct r.ill and road routes, which
will make It easy of access both to
Frenchmen and foreign visitors.
Natives Grumble.
IMnon was completely destroyed In
the war. At least one member of
practically every .family that liveil
there before the war has returned,
to live 1m some sort of hastily built
shack, waiting for the old homes to
be rebuilt. At tlr?t most of the na
tives did not favor the Idea <>f havlm;
IMnon used as * model village, but
offer lonir discussions they decided
to let La Renaissance des Cites create
one for (hem. The general plans were
drawn up bv Charles Ahella, a winter
of the tnu<-h coveted I'riv de Home in
architect ore. An American committee
has been (..fined to get funds front Hip
I'nKed Slates to t.e expended in the
reconstruction of Pimm. This com
mittee ha? representatives in many
large American cities. I he committee
plans to turn over ti> the French or
ganization an amount sufficient not
only to rebuild one devastated town,
but to prox ide a number of homeless
war victims with permanent shelter
The planners continue with their
work, but some of (he old natives are
reluctant to take tip these "newfanclert
fads."
