Superstition That Is Ancient.

In many parts of Great Britain the
superstition still survives that it is folk'
or madness to save a drowning man, as
he will sooner or later do an injury to
the rescuer. The superstition comes
down from our ancestors, yet traces Of
it exist among the Sioux and other In
dians, who seem to have inherited it
from aboriginal sources. The belief is
most prevalent in Cornwall and various
parts of Scotland. Chicago Herald.
