SUGGESTIONS ABOUT NAMES.

The department of hearing, "ouie."
belongs to st. Ouen. St. Eutrope, whom
the peasants call Strope, will cure
dropsy French hydropsie). This saint
also has power to make the peas grow
How the superstition arose is unknown,
but prudent gardeners always plant
their peas on st. Eutrope's day, conf.
dent of large crop.
People subject to vertigo address
themselves to st. Avertin, and lunatics
Gin Italian mattD TO St. Mathurin. We
say that paralytics are taken" French
pris), and st. Pris, according to super
stition, is ready to come to their aid.
Why does St. Anthony, of Padua, have
the power to find lost objects? Because
Padua is Italian Padova and lost OBJ
jects were formerly called lin FRENCH
epaves.
1t is hard to understand how much
influence word has on popular beliefs.
When two terms present great sim
ilarity they are apt to become confused
in the popular mind and in this way
many beliefs and superstitions have
arisen. The history of language fur
nishes us with examples on all sides.
1t is thus that Hugh Capet appears in
history as having large head, solely
because his name was almost the same
as the Latin ''caput," head.
Popular imagination attributes to
certain saints a peculiar power over the
maladies of mankind. These beliefs
have nothing to do with religion, for
while some churches set up saints as
models whose virtues ought to be i'm
itated they do not say they have power
to remove sickness, famine or pestil-
ence, and so these curious beliefs are
due solely to word play. st. Main
French main, HANDY and st. Genou
(genou, knee), have power over affec-
tons of those parts of the body. ST.
Clair and St. Luce are supposed to watch
over the ewes.
