Superstitions,
The mothers of Bretagne will not

Bharks' teeth serve this purpose in
Samoa.
There was a tradition that from the
time Chosroes, the Persian, carried
off a piece of the true cross from
Constantinople, the number of teeth
in the mouths of men was reduced
from thirty-two to twenty-three. It
is needless to say, however, that man-
kind is usually provided with a full
complement of thirty-five.
Teeth have been worshiped, and,
in fact, are venerated as relics, in
some religious shrines. Buddha's
tooth is preserved in a temple in In-
dia, and Singhalesge worslLiped the
tooth of a monkey, while an lephant's
tooth and a shark's tooth served a
similar purpose among the Malabar
islanders and the Tonga islanders,
respectively.

Question of Tongue,
B8ome amount of confusion ia caused
by the pronunciation of the name of
the town Kuprulu, or Veles, in Mace-
donia. The difference in nomencla-
ture is attributable to the conflict of
tongues. Kuprulu, Koprulu or Ku-
prill, is the Turkish equivalént of the
Bulgarian Valesa and the Greek Ve
lissa, all of which refer to the same
town in the vilayet (as it was under
Turkish rule) of Saloniki. The ancient
Greek historian Polyblus speaks of
the town of Bylazors, and it 1s be
lleved that the Bulgarian and modern
Greek names are corruptions of this.
The Turkish form, with slight modifi-
cation, is the cognomen of a family
of statesmen who flourished from the
sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries.
