Nails Driven Into an Ancient Oak
Tree as Offerings by Invalid
Pilgrims.
ITO Be Continued

Nearly all travellers in central
Africa have referred to the curious
customs prevalent among almost all
pagan native tribes, of driving guam
titles of nails into sacred trees and
other objects that have been adj
judged worthy of generations; and
this not in malice, but as religious
rite, the nails in question being in
tended as votive offerings, says Stray
Stories.
Exactly the same thing may be
witnessed to-day at the sacred well
of ST. Maebrubha, in loch Maree.
Ross shire, where is an ancient oak
tree studded with countless nails of
all sizes, the offerings of invalid pill
grims who came to worship and be
cured.
Pennies and half-pennies also are
to be seen in enormous quantities,
driven edgewise in the tough bark;

On being extracted. however, it
proved to be counterfeit. Probably
the donor, finding that he could get
no value for his coin in the natural
world, concluded he might as well
try, as last resource, what effect
it might have in the spiritual.
OF course, the poor cottars and
others who flock to ST. Maebrubha
with their nails and their pence do
not for moment admit that they
are assisting at pagan ceremony.
But they most undoubtedly are

pilgrim must thrice kneel ere humbly

Stockings with white. Feet.

A physician, in a published inter
view, says the Indianapolis journal,
urges that the wearing of stockings
with white feet will do more to pro
mote ease in walking and relieve foot
ills that anything else to be suggested.
Socks or stockings of cotton or Isle
thread in black bind the feet and
make them swell, he says, no matter
how fine and open they may be. The
black dye with the hard thread of the
Isle variety is a combination that is
particularly torturing to tender feet.
Thin, unbleached balbriggan he
recommends. Preferably the whole
sock or stocking may be white, but at
least the foot should be. A further
caution is added that new cotton hose,
as web as all new cotton undergar-
ments, should be washed before being
worn, to take out the sizing used by
manufacturers.

facture, and not Etruscan. The mirror

The rejecting surface is slightly, and
at present not uniformly, convex. The
edge of the disk is ornamented with
the egg" pattern, which is not visible
in the illustration. The back is plain.
Twenty years ago it was the COM
ment of Greek scholars that despite
the fact that mirrors were shown by
Attic vase paintings and reliefs to
have been in common use, not one had
been found. Since that time number
have been discovered, of which the
one now at the art institute is sam
pie.
This mirror has its handles now de-
tached from the disk. At the back the
bronze part of the handle is prolonged
upwards in the form of a palmetto,
which served to make the attachment
to the disk secure. In front the orna-
mentatien consisted of figure of
siren with recurved wings, surrounded
by scrolls and palmettes.
The especial interest which attaches
to this Chicago mirror is the fact that
the handle proper is preserved-a cir
cumstance which is recited as unusual
among Greek mirrors of that historic
period. For determining the date of
the mirror there is no evidence, ex-
cept the style of the bronze relief. The
composition as whole seems to indi-
cate that it was made in the fifth cen
fury B. C. The year $50 B. C. has been
taken is the approximate date Of it's
manufacture and use.
