SUPERSTITIONS.

The rabbit's foot superstition has already been dealt with. Regarding the animals themselves superstition= vary slightly in different parts of the country, but the general idea is that it is unlucky to have a rabbit run across your path. In some sections it is a sign of death-in all of disaster. The rabbit and have are of the same famly and for all purposes of super- stition are one.
Button, in his Anatomy of Melan- choly, speaks of that sense of coming disaster which, without cause, we sometimes have as ifa hare had crossed our path at going forth".
the witchcraft days when witches The idea comes immediately from had the power of changing them selves into animals Dr. Cotton | Mather will tell you-and the rabbit was their favourite form of transmor- gification. But back of that is the superstition of the ancient Britons who regarded rabbits as magic-werk- ing creatures. Caesar says the Britons used them for purposes of divination and never killed them for food. Such magic working animals. would naturally appeal to witches. One of the ways in which the Britons divined by rabbits wies to observe the manner in which they ran on being liberated. Thos did Boadecia divine before she gare battle to the Roman legions.
Why it should be mere unlucky to have a rabbit run across the road in front of one than in any other direc» tion is explained by natural symbolism. Anything crossing in front of one interferes with his progrés, stops him, hinders him, obstracts him. When that something is a magic working rabbit-or perhaps a witch in the form of such-the Amerin. farmer of to-day and the Queen of the Iceni of nearly two thousand years ago are quite agreed as to the portent.
