EVOLUTION OF the CURSE.
English Oaths built Upon the Canonical
Model of Ancient Times.

All English oaths are built on the ca
nOniCal order, but few of them survive.
The churchman did his cursing in a
methodical and detailed fashion, says
the London Standard. Beginning by in
Noking the damnatory influence of the
heavenly powers, he first consigned his
victim TO misery en- masse. Then he be-
gan with details and cursed him accord
ing TO place and time. May he be
damned wherever he be, whether in the
house or stable, the garden or the field
or the highway or in the path, or in
the wood, or in the water, or in the
church" Next in time and circum-
stances, "May he be cursed in living, in
dying, in eating and drinking, in being
hungry, in being thirsty, in fasting, in
walking, in standing, in sitting, in ly
ing, in working, and in resting" Then
came the personal details, May he be
cursed in the hair Of his head, in his
temples, in his forehead, in his ears, in
his eyes" and so on through his heart,
liver, lungs and kidneys, right down TO
his toe nails-all of which curse was 10
take effect unless the cursee repented
and made satisfaction.
When the common people took to ours
ing they followed afar off this excel
lent model, and there still turks among
them disposition at odd times to treat
with less than respect one another's
eyes. Oaths strictly on the canonical
model held the admiration of seafaring
men down 10 Il late perlou 'ShlNer my
timbers' was one of them, and Captain
Marryat's sailors, who vowed by their
own and other peoples livers and
lungs, We're followers OF the ancient
school. Savage peoples have little skill
in cursing. To curse with effect requires
some definite notion Of hades. Most of
the quasi-civilized natives OF Asia ex-
ecrate, however, with much ease and
huency The Japanese are singular
exception, and it is "A high tribute TO
the gentleness OF their manners that
their language should contain no
Swearing worde" According TO Sir
Edwin Arnold, the severest word one
Jap can apply 10 another without dip
ping into English) is fellow" and high
condemnation is found in the words.
there, there" Hindoos, on the other
hand. curse with fearful ease and full
ness, and quite throw the eXcom-
municatng priest in the shade. For
not only do they curse the immediate
subject of their wrath in all his parts,
but all his ancestors, back TO Adam
by both the male and female line, The
Norsemen had heaven, of a kind, in
their mythology, but no hades. There
fore, they could consisn their enemies
TO nothing worse than oblivion; but in
the Sagas they do n wonderful amount
of cursing. all TO take effect on earth.

How Damaged Timepieee Can BE Re-

The demagnetization of watches which
have become magnetlzed through coming
in contact with the influence OF dynamo
electric machines OF high tension forms
the subject of communication to the
Echo des Mines. IL explains that the very
hard steel used for the cylinder wheel Of
ordinary watches IS apt TO become highly
magnetiZed when brought near dynamos
running; and this magnetizaton, combined
with the earth's magnetism. always causes

netization, natural magnet or a powerful
electro-magnet must be placed In a horl-
zontal position-on a table, for Instance
and the watch held horizontally about half
yard off on leyel with the magnet. The
watch must then be brought slowly nearer
the magnet, while being turned sIswly, and
at the same time as regularly - possible,
between the fingers, as on yerccle axis
When the poles OF the magnets are reached
the turning of the watch is 10 be continued
while being gradually Withdrawn until the
starting point is reached. THIS simple
method has often been adopted with the
desired result.
