No man changes his clothing on a Monday. 1f he did it is believed that he would suffer front a severe skin dis- ease On Thursday no fat. or flesh must be picicled or corned. If anyone neglects this the meat would be full of vorrns in a fortnight. Wool is not spun on a holiday, else the cattle will sicken and die. A hen is always given an uneven number of eggs to hatch, never an even number. Bones left from a dinner at ii funeral are thrown into the river, else the dead will appear to the living in fearful shape; and at the same meal no one dare cut bread—it must always be broken.
