They usually don't say what bird they have in mind, but it couldn't be a baby robin. Shortly after being hatched, those tiny birds need 14 feet of earth- worms a day to satisfy their hunger. The status of femininity cer- tainly wasn't high back in the rough and tough 12th century. In Mediterranean countries then it was thought that if a 'woman went near an orange tree the foliage would wilt, the fruit drop and the tree die. Spooky: We worry about witches and hobgoblins only one night of the year, on Hal- loween. But the National Geo- graphic Society reports that Mustang, a mountain kingdom in Nepal, is haunted year- round by 416 assorted demons of Jand, sky, fire and water. A demon trap hangs over the Robins doorway of every home there to frighten away these ghostly intruders.

It is because upper winds blowing in the earth's atmosphere travel at such speed their turbulence bends the light rays from the distant stars. Folklore: Whistling in a home or office brings bad luck. When gulls fly - inland, storms are brewing; when gulls fly seaward, the weather will stay fair. Some waiters believe that if the first cus- tomer leaves a big tip, their tips for the rest of the day will be small. If you turn a photograph of someone to the wall, evil spirits will attack him, It was Fred Allen who ob- served, "A conference is a gathering of important people who singly can do nothing, but together can decide that nothing can be done."
