A house that was being built at
Scutart became shaky. A wise man"

the defect would increase unless a hui

themselves to immediate and immure

That the castle of Liebenstein might

Built i'm Corner Stones

Very terrible in its sinister signi-
fcance is the custom of putting coins
under the foundation stone of build
ing about to be erected.
For these pieces of geld and silver
and bronze are the latter day equiva-
Tents of the human beings that would
once have been inundated there and
there immured. They constitute the
ransom for blood that by rights
should be shed, but is not.
This latter terrible use was at one
time well-nigh universal, and traces
of 1t survive almost everywhere. In
many parts of Europe, for instance,
when the hole is dug to receive this
same foundation stone the masons will
entice to the spot some stranger. Then
while one engages him in conversation
another will creep behind and meas
IRE his shadow, the measure stick be-

stamped down on top of it. Or they
