The Evil Eye.
The meaning of tlie evil eye, tlie
"ophthalinos baskauos" of the Greeks,
the "fasclnare" of the ltomans, was
probably far more than a vulgar super
sltlon. We find traces of it iu almost
every country, notably to this day
among the canny Soots who inhabit the
?western isles of the sea, of "Ulva dark
and Colonsay," of Sk.ve and the Ileb- !
rides, and among the Turks, who dls- :
trust the evil eye of the stranger. But :
In old classical days the power seems !
chiefly to have been usitl for the pur- j
pose ?f grievously afflicting the live :
stock of disagreeable neighbors. So
we dud to this day In Ireland, parts of I
Scotland and the west of Eugland |
where this belief is still prevalent Cer
tainly, In some form or other, mesmeric
fascination by the eye has always been
known. But that any one person, with
no matter how evil an eye, should bo
able to charm frightened animals to
any extent or number Is ridiculous and
not seriously to be entertained for one
moment.? Chambers" Journal.
