Tho Sneezing Prayer,
The custom of following a sneeze with
a pra.er goes so far back Into the past
It Is next to impossible to suy when
It actually began. According toStrada,
the custom originated among the As
syrians, who. through nn opinion of
the danger that attended It, after the
act of sneezing made a short prayer
to the gods. The Itomans after mice.
Ing cried out, "Jupiter, help me!" The
custom is mentioned by Homer, the
early Jewish writers and others and Is
found among many savage tribes.
The Original New Zealanders.
The original Now Zealanders were
known as the most ferocloim cannibals
and the most warlike savages. They
were big, gaunt fellows, of Immense
muscular roree and great sagacity.
These savage New ealanders, though
they ate Ihelr enemies. Interred their
o.wn dead, and they believed that the
thhd day after burial the heart sepa
rated Itself from the corpse and was
carried to the clouds by an attendant
spirit.
The Ills Wo Are Heir To.
There are three modes of bearing the
ills of life namely, by Indifference,
which Is the most common; by philos
ophy, which Is the most ostentatious,
and by religion, which Is the most ef
fectual. New York PreBs.
