Persia's Great Superstition.
Tho greatest superstition In I’ersla Is
what is known as tlie "evil eye.” You 1
must uot say to some one whom yo 1
meet. "How well you nre looking!” fr
If you do and that person Is taken ill
it will be because you gave him the
evil eye. You must not say to a moth-'
cr, “What a pretty baby!" "What a
bright child!'' for if you do and any-
thing uffifortunate happens to the child
you will he considered responsible.
Many mothers let the children go dirty
and poorly clothed In order that they
muy not attract favorable attention.
The slgu which is thought to have some
[lower to avert the evil eye consists in1
holding the second nnd third Angers of
both hands close to the palms with the
thumbs, while the other Angers are ex-
tended straight out. Then, with the
hands behind you, you make a down-
ward movement three times.
