St. Augustine records that when the. an
cients arose in the morning, u tney sneezed
while putting on their shoes, they immedi
ately went back to bed again in order to
get up more auspiciously and so escape
misfortunes likely to occur during tbe
day. 'If a Hindoo sneezes while perform
ing his morning ablutions in tbe Ganges,'
he touches bis forehead, nose, chin and
cheeks with the tins of his finsrers and re
commences Ifis prayers from tbe very be
ginning. In illness sneezing is considered
a eood omen, a sum of returning health.
HowelL In 1659, said, "He that bath

sneezed directly after dinner a dish was
brought back and tasted to avert misfor-

klpg sneezed, those about bim saluted so
loudly that they were beard and echoed
through the whole city. In 1543 De Soto
bad an interview in Florida wltn a. ca
cique Who, during conversation, 'happened
tk sneeze. All his attendants-bowed their
heads, opened and closed their arras and
saluted the, prince with "May tbe sun
guard you, shine-en you, defend you, pros
per you," and similar phrases. An Italian
child's primer of 1533 says, "Being prompt
in saluting any one who may sneeze, and
returning thanks to any who on such an
occasion may have wished yon well.
An epigram . in the Greek anthology
shows it was customary to say, "God blues
you." The ancient Romans said .'Salve. '
The modern Roman of the lower-class"
says, "Figli maschi!" (May you have male
children.) The North Germans say, "Your
good health;" in Vienna, "God be with

bless your honor," "Long life to your.

stamps for a nickel ? The postmaster
replied that this waa undoubtedly the

He waited with a . gratified smile
while Mr. Ashbrooke put his $3 bill in

By this time his expression of comphv

and as he pocketed the stamps' he re
marked. 'Well. that 'a one on me."
