History of Sneezing.

1t is still customary in some parts OF Por.
tugal to say "VicG!' May you ivel when
man sneeZes, equivalent TO the ''GOd bless
you, !" which prevails among certain homely
folk with us under similar circumstances.
But in good society this custom is no longer
fashionable, though ones Portuguese friend,
if one happens to sneeZe in his presence,
viii sometimes say the word half under his
breath, and with slight deprecatory smile,
as If to convey, II know, my dear sir, that
it is not quite the thing to say civG! but
my interest in you is SO strong that / In
fringe les 6ieaSeG7sces to show how much
wish you wellI" A Jewish acquaintance,
whom have already mentioned, told me Of
a curious Talmudian legend to account for
this singular practice, as old as Homer, and
common, believe, TO every branch of man
KIND, OF blessing man who sneeZes.
When human beings were first created, the
legend runs, they were very loosely put to-
gether, and a mans first sneeZe would
shake him 30 completely to pieces as to be
followed by his immediate break up and
dissolution. In process OF time, however,
the bodies of men growing more substantial
the molecular particles perhaps, as Professor
Tyndall would argue, more firmly COM
pacted- sneeZing was Lot invariably accom-
panied by instant death, and bystanders see
inga man sneeze with impunity, would ex-
press at once their establishment and their
congratulations by some such formula as
YEA God bless you! and so FORTH
If our modern atomic philosophers can
bring themselves to believe in the theory
and they can hardly be looked upon as men
of very skeptical habit of mind-they will
no doubt be thankful for this addition to
the fabric of cosmogony which they are
industriously building up for QUE benefit
