Shadows or abodes was tbe classical name or figure for tho spirits of the departed which still remains In use. This Idea Is not confined to dvllhsed races. Arnoug the Zulus, the spirit is the shnde. Bishop Callaway, wbose knowledge of Zulu beliefs aud. modes of thought was unrivaled, says that the Zulus' connect tbe bodily shade witb tbe future disembodied spirit They believe tbat tbe shadow cast by the body will ultimately become tbe “Itongb,” or spirit wben tbe body dies, and tbey say tbat tbo long shadow shortens “aa a man approaches bla end and contracts luto a rery little thing. Wheo they see the shadow, of a man thus contracting, they knbw he will die. Tbe long shadow goea away when a man Is dead, and it Is tbat which Is meant when it is said, ‘Tbe ahadow bas departed.’ \ There is, bow* ever, a short shadow which remains wltb tbe body and la buried with I t Tbe long shadow becomes an ances tral spirit ' Identification of tbe shadow In any nqrsterlous or spiritual way with tbs person wbose body casts I t naturally leads to respect tor the strsngo sscoad self. To tread bn the shadow of chief Is an Insult to tbe chief himself, In the Inatltutee of Mann, tbe ancient Hindu law giver, tbe law runs: “Let blm not Intentionally pasa over the shadow of sacred Imagea, of natural or spiritual fatber, of a king, Of a Brahmin who keeps houae, or of any 'reverend personage; nor of d wbo bas Just performed s sacrifice.” Tbere ate trtices of the survival of these primitive wajra of 'regarding man’s shadow in the English country feeling‘that It is unlucky to cross the path of a newly married man as he leaves tbe altar; and In another rural belief tbat It Is unlucky to cross tbe patb ot horses ploughing wben tbe sun Is shining behlnd tbem. : Association between shadows and ^plrrored repreeentatlOBa o f the human form is obviously naMrsI, So It ts not surprising to Snd sspentitlons about tbe ahadow mingled with widely scat tered versions of the Narcissus legend. Tbe story ofthe beautiful youth who became enamored of hia own Image, aa be saw it represented in tbe water, and langulabed thereafter till be died, baa ite origin |a tbe belief tbat trouble followa from beholding tbe watery image. “Let him not look at his own Image In wstsr; that ia a settled rule,” com mands Manu, the Hindu law giver. Tbe reason for tbe prohibition ia to be found in tbe belleCs of mao In a primitive state of civilisation. The Melanesians of tbe Pacific, aaya a learned observer, say: “Tbere Is a stream in Saddle island, or, rather, s pool in a stream, into wblcb if any one looks be dies; tbe malignant epirlt takes bold upon bla life by meune of bls reflection in tbe water.” Some sucb Idea as tbls waa probably tbe root of the Narciasus legend. The Znlua explain why it is III to look Into the water of a pool by a atory of a great beast in the water wblcb cau seize tbc shadow of a man and wbeu bls shadow Is gone a man uo longer wishes to turn bock, but de sires to enter the pooL He goes In, dies, nnd Is eaten by the great beast which inhabits It So, soya Bishop Callaway, \men are forbiddeo to l^an over and look into a dark pool, it be ing feared tbat tbeir shadow abould be taken away.” There are other ways In which a man may lose bls shadow. There waa a temple of Jupiter In Arcadia wblcb, if eutered by those who were for bidden to do so. robbed tbem of tbelr shadows. In tbe north of Scotland there are some quaint legends of folk wbo lost tbls usual attendant In Sutherland they tell more than one story of a wizard named Donnhl-Dufval McKay. Donald weut to a school tn Italy where tbc black art was taught by the devil, who sat in the professor’s chair, and nt tbe end of each term claimed as his own the last scholar to depart. Break ing up nt tills academy waa naturally a scramble, uone wishing to be last. On ono ocrnsion Donald was renliy the last, but Just as tbc devli was nbout to seize him, the resourceful Donald pointed to bls own shadow, wblcb fell behind him, saying, “Take tiiou tlie hindmost!\ Accordingly, bls shadow wns seized, while he blmself | escapes, and after his return to Scot land was never seen to hare a shadow! , A companion illustration of “de’ll tak the biu'most.\ from Aberdeenshire, is i u story of a witch helped laird watch- i lug bls reapers, wbose shadow wns uatwid .hr..
