THE SPLITTING SUPERSTITION.
A Custom In Vogue Among All Nations.

lOan De guile in Free Lancet
The superstitious notions connected
with splitting seem to be as old as the
human race, and appear to be confined
to no country or cline. was reminded
OF this yesterday very forcibly on seeing
Piute squaw, whose begging petition
had been denied, turn and spit three
times upon the ground with much EN-
phasis and venom. In so doing she evil
IDENTIFY thought she had planted curse
before the door of the house she was
leaving. II denied the half.rotten fruit
standing in front of the shop of a dealer
in vegetables squaw will stop and spit
upon the ground before leaving, and she
will do the same if she is dissatisfied
with her bargain in meat obtained at the
shop of butcher. Stanley mentions
this splitting curse as being in use among
several of the African tribes; so does
Barth, who was in Northern and Central
Africa between the years l849 and 1855.
James Arton makes mention of it as
being common among the wild tribes of
Brazil on the Amazon, the MADEIRA, the
Javari, and Jurua and the Jupara rivers.
Atkinson found it in use among the Tar
tars, Kirghis and Mongolians of the
steppss of Siberia, and travellers to
Europe speak of it being in frequent use
among the Arabs. and particularly among
the women. If a European traveller
speaks to the Arab girl who has come
down to the Nile to fill her water jar
she will turn round and spit upon the
ground. Besides being intended to ex-
press anger or disgust, there appears to
be some kind Of superstitious notions
connected with this voiding Of spittle by
the wild tribes of the world. In the Old
Testament there is occasional mention of
this venomous manner Of splitting. In
some countries it is supposed to ward off
the influence of the evil eye and in others
to give luck. Among the ancient Greeks
and Romans splitting was charm against
fascination. Pliny says it averted witch.
craft, and if man ''spat into his hand
it resulted in giving an enemy shrewder
blow" For this reason it is probable
that to this day boxers and men about to
fight spit on their hands. Boys some
times spit on money given them, in order
that they may have luck. In England
the fishwomen regularly spit upon their
''hansel, that is the first money taken
10 the morning; and in this country not
a few women spit upon the first piece Of
money taken by them in opening a shop
or any kind of business. This splitting
business is certainly something very old
with the human race. We read in
Theacritos. Thrice on my breast spit,
to guard me safe from fascinating
charms, then we walk out upon q street
to fnd Piute squaw splitting at fruit
dealer or a butcher.

The Lady Passenger.

Says the Arkansaw Traveller: A wo
man of about 81 summers, with hatchel
face adorned with a wealth of freckles,
and snuff stick in her mouth, got into
a crowded ear. There were half dozen
gentlemen in the car, but none of them
offered to give her a seat After she had
waited awhile, she said:
"Ef any of you galoots is waitin' for
me to squat in yer laps, you are barkin'
up the wrong tree; for / want you to un-
derstand that | am lady"
A dread that she was net in earnest
caused six gentlemen to leave the car.
