OLD AND PToUs CUSTOM.
Why Do We Say "God Bless U.s.
When We SneezeP

The curious custom is as old as the
days of Homer and as widespread as
! the human race. Aristotle argues the
question, why sneezing from noon to
midnight was accounted good, but
! from midnight to noon unlucky, but
| fails to answer it. st. Austin tells us
that the ancients were wont to go to
bed again if they sneezed while putting
on their Shoes Xenophon having end
ed a speech to- his soldiers in these
words. I'VE may have reasons to hope
| for preservation, they were scarce ut
tered when a soldier sneezed. The
whole army shouted and took up the
omen, then paid alteration to the gods
and ceased to murmur. We read in the
old authors that Prometheus was the
first who wished we'll to the sneezer. y
He made man of clay, then went up
to heaven and stole bottle full of
celestial fire from the sun. When he
came down he pulled the cork and
thrust the bottle under the claymanS
nose. The latter began to sneeze and
Promethus, said ..God bless you" This
gave origin to the custom among the
Greeks of saluting the sneezer.
When Thumstocles sacrificed in his
galley before the battle with Xerxes
one of his assistants upon the right
hand sneezed, and the Soothsayer in
stantly pronounced victory to- the
Greeks. Upon so small a matter do
great enterprises often hinge.
The Jewish rabbits say that sneezing
was a sign of death, even from the
time of Adam until it was taken off
by the supplication of Jacob, from
whence as a thankful acknowledgment
this salutat ion first began and was
continued by the expression of ''Tobim
al life tn Won
Pliny says that to sneeze to the right
is fortunate, to the left and near a
graveyard the reverse. Apuleius, 300
years before Pliny mentions the same
fact
Tiberius always saluted person
who sneezed in his presence and ex-
pected others would do the same by
him.
The year A. D. $50 is generally reck-
oned the era among the Christians of
the custom of saying God bless you
to one who happened to sneeze. In
the time of st. Gregory the Great it is
said the air was filed with such a
deleterious influence that they y who
sneezed instantly expired. Upon this
the devout pontiff appointed a form of
prayer and wish to be said to per-
sons sneezing for averting from them
the fatal effects of the malignant mat
ter
When our first navigators penetrated
to India and Africa they found the
custom of saluting sneeze every
where followed the same as at home.
When the king of Mesopotamia
sneezes rejoicings are held in every
part of his dominions. The Siamese
wish Tong life" to persons sneezing.
The Persians do the same, and the
Irish say 'Dia Lat''-"God to you" So
it can be thus seen that the custom of
sneezing is not to be sneezed at

Republican leaders decided to harmon

to Buchanan:s administration. and they
| disca rded both the Wing and the Re

vention, adopted the name of the Peo-
pies party nominated candidates rep
resenting both the American and the
! Republican elements. and carried the
state by a vote of 19S, LII to III ,130. In
| 1853 the Peoples convention again
nominated a state ticket representing
the different elements composing tle

| Peoples party carried the state by a
vote of 1S1, S35 to 1850 In either of

Such were the conditions which con-
fronted the party leaders at the Chi
cago convention in 1860. Had Seward
the most beloved and most generally
desired candidate for the presidency,
been nominated, the American organi-
"a ton in Pennsylvania and Indiana
would have been quickened into re
newed activity and increased power,

state largely in excess of the majority
received by Curtin and Lane. The OBJ
stacle to Stewards success was so plain
when frankly presented that none could
misunderstood it, and even the most
devoted friends of Seward were COM
PEELED TO confess the force of the OBJ
iections presented. The school agita-
ton of twenty years before had been
forgotten outside of New York, and by
very many in that state, until it was
brought up afReSh as a danger signal
at Chicago Curtin and Lane We're
battling for their own success. and
their success meant the success of the
candidate for president nominated by
the convention.
1t is not surprising that their earn
est protest against Stewards nomina-
ton, although entirely free from per-
sonal prejudice against Seward
swerved the convention from its pur-
pose; and it was the vote of Indiana
and Pennsylvania declaring for Lin
coin that gave Lincoln the victory. L
heard Lincoln on several occasions re-
fer to the fact, when discussing politi-
cal problems, that he was nominated
for the presidency in convention
that was two-thirds for the other fell

For Irish League Delegates.

| At meeting of the officers of the
Chicago branches of United Irish
League of America, held at 81 South
! Clark street Monday evening, Feb "a,
National President John F. Finerty
presided, and announced that it would
be necessary to FORM provisional eX-
ecutive committee to prepare for the
meetings to be held by the Irish en-
voys, Messrs. Redmond and Devlin, on
the occasion of their visit to Chicago,
now near a hand. He urged the dele
gates to select officers that would at
tend strictly to business AS he held
the office of national president, it would
not be desirable that he should hold
the executive local Craftsmanship also,
and, therefore, they should select some
one else, as he could not serve in that
capacity, he having quite enough work
to do in the superior capacity.
nominating committee, consisting
of one members from each branch rep
resented. was then appointed, and,
after an absence which lasted half an
hour, reported the following provisional
local executive officers:
Chairman-Hon. William Dillon.
First Vice Chairman-Rev. Dennis
Hays.
Second Vice Chairman-Hon. P. T.
Barry.
Secretary-Edward j. Rainey.
Assistant Secretary-M Emmett
Glare.
Treasurer-John J. Rigney.
President Finerty congratulated the
meeting on the wisdom shown in the
selection of its executive officers. They
were all men of ability and experience.
He was glad to see the office of chair
man occupied by Mr.. Dillon. to whom
he paid very warm tribute. He prom
ised to give the executive all the as
sistance possible and would always be
at the service of the committee.
Mr.. Dillon briefly returned thanks

THE STURDY, HARDY BoER.

O Erin. still you finger.
With the chains YOU have long wore,

AS the sturdy, hardy Boer.
Who fights a fight for freedom.

And don't forget Dewet.
Hoping to see the day. my boys.
You will do the same thing yet
