"Golden Bough." tells us that in Old
enburg it is thought that if a man sees
his reflection afier a death he will die
himself. Therefore all the mirrors in

J man is dying the Suul Mohammedans
of Bombay cover the mirrors in his
room. And not only this, but they ha
bitually follow the same practice in
their own rooms before going to sleep,
thinking that In sickness or sleep the
soul is especially likely to slip away
According to Professor Ralston, the

"The Gilded Man."
The name "El Dorado." which dates
back to the Urst part of the sixteenth

tlrst applied to a native South Amerl
can ruler or priest who. so early Span

but never found. Later it was used to
indicate a mythical country somewhere
in South America where gold and pre
