but that the evil effects may probably
be averted by throwing some of It
over your tight shoulder. It Is won
derful how nhi soiiie of (best? supir
slltloiiii i:re! This one about the silt,
for example, came to us from tho
ancient Kotnatis. Salt was tesardM
by them ;ri an emblem of pti'ifWa'lon,
and thiy ;i!wnyn phiced some on tho
head i f i victim In sacrifice. If tho
salt were spilled In doing this, It v.
looked upon as a b:ul omen.
It Is said tli.it the Unmans got tho
custom Mom the Jews, and after a

rtiMoin of throwing a part of It over
the right shoulder arose from their
belief that anything pertaining to ttw

the banker's legs were covered to his
knees.
"Fifty rupees, fifty rupees," he
shouted, "to anyone who will gave
me!" When the water reached bis
shoulders he was shouting: "One
thousand rupees!" When enveloped
to bis neck, with death staring hint in
the face, he yelled: "Help, help. All
that 1 have will I give to anyone to
save me!"
Shortly after the water began to re
