a large drum during forty days might haunt,
torment, and pursue to death the taker of their money and those
concerned with him." Tylor, Primitive Culture, Vol. II. p. 103.]

[Footnote 73: Hence, in many parts of Europe, it is still customary to
open the windows when a person dies, in order that the soul may not be
hindered in joining the mystic cavalcade.]

[Footnote 74: The story of little Red Riding-Hood is "mutilated in the
English version, but known more perfectly by old wives in Germany, who
can tell that the lovely little maid in her shining red satin cloak was
swallowed with her grandmother by the wolf, till they both came out safe
and sound when the hunter cut open the sleeping beast." Tylor, Primitive
Culture, I. 307, where also see the kindred Russian story of Vasilissa
the Beautiful. Compare the case of Tom Thumb, who "was swallowed by the
cow and came out unhurt"; the story of Saktideva swallowed by the fish
and cut out again, in Somadeva Bhatta, II. 118-184; and the story
of Jonah swallowed by the whale, in the Old Testament. All these
are different versions of the same myth, and refer to the alternate
swallowing up and casting forth of Day by Night, which is commonly
personified as a wolf, and now and then as a great fish. Compare Grimm's
story of the Wolf and Seven Kids, Tylor, loc. cit., and see Early
History of Mankind, p. 337; Hardy, Manual of Budhism, p. 501.]

[Footnote 76: In those days even an after-dinner nap seems to have been
thought uncanny. See Dasent, Burnt Njal, I. xxi.]

Magnusson and Morris, chap. xix.; Viga Glum's Saga, by Sir Edmund Head,
p. 13, note, where the Berserkers are said to have maddened themselves
with drugs. Dasent compares them with the Malays, who work themselves
into a frenzy by means of arrack, or hasheesh, and run amuck.]

[Footnote 82: "En 1541, a Padoue, dit Wier, un homme qui se croyait
change en loup courait la campagne, attaquant et mettant a mort ceux
qu'il rencontrait. Apres bien des difficultes, on parvint s'emparer de
lui. Il dit en confidence a ceux qui l'arreterent: Je suis vraiment
