POPULAR SUPERSTITION.
When a cat washes itself and puts
its hind leg straight up behind its ears
there will be rain.
The alleged connection between
gypsies and the nails used in the cru
cifixion has frequently been referred
to. It is said that the tinkers are de
scendants of the one who mhde the
nails for the cross, and -are compelled
to wander continually without rest
The blackbird and thrush are “wan
dering souls” whose sins must be ex
piated on earth, hence they are forced
to endure the rigors of winter. Rooks,
jackdaws, bats, hawks and owls are
animated by lost souls. The wagtail
is called the "devil’s bird” for no other
reason than that it cleverly evades the
missiles thrown at it.
It is evident that superstition has
not yet entirely disappeared from
Rhode Island. A few days ago, in
order to balk an alleged vampire
which was supposed to have been prey
ing on a family of that state with
fatal effect, the body of a deceased
member was exhumed, the heart and
liver taken therefrom and cremated,
and the body reinterred.
Horse chestnuts and potatoes carried

or for other superstitious purposes are
amulets. The virtues supposed to be
possessed by amber beads are variously
familiar. Belief in the supernatural
qualities of amber is very old indeed.
It arose originally from its peculiar
electric quality from which was de
rived the word “eletricity,” electron
being the Greek name for amber.
