WAS OF GRUESOME ORIGIN
wHATA CORNERSTONE MEANT IN
COUNTRY's EARLIER DAYS.
Human Beings Were Imbedded in
the Foundations of Buildings.
children Were Often Bur-
led in Walls.

This afternoon the corner stone OF
ST. Luke's Cathedral church will be
laid with due ceremonies, but it is
certain that few of those who witness
the interesting ceremony will recall
the gruesOme origin of the usual Gus
tom of putting coins, human memo
ries and other relics IN the cornerstone
of an edifce, especially one of an &C.
cesiastical character.
Away back in the earlier centuries
the spiritually ignorant and super
stitious believed that ransom of
sacrifcial blood must be immured in
the foundations of buildings, and
they had the terrible habit of taking
human beings and imbedding them
in the corners of such foundations.
Notable instances of this custom are
found in the histories, even up to a
very recent date.
Tho restoration of Noteworthy
church in Devonshire, England,
twenty years ago, brought to light a
skeleton with mass of mortar plast-
cred over the mouth. In 1865 two
children were buried alive in the
walls of a blockhouse at Duga, in
Asiatic Turkey, and only last year at
Mosdok, in the Caucasus, three build
ers we're arrested for kidnapping and
numbering boy, whose body they
built into the foundations of a tower
they were erecting.
Even in parts of Europe today
when the hole is dug for foundation
stone some stranger. is enticed to the
place and his shadow measured, the
measure stick being afterwards placed
in the hole to represent the man and
mortar stamped down on top of it.
The modern custom is to put coins
IN the cornerstone to represent 1.-The
value of man." so to speak, prob
ably on the idea that if you cannot
get a man himself into your power
but can get his money you are just
as well off!
At any rate, we can thank our
Christian civilization that the old
superstition that a human implanta-
ton is the necessary blood offering to
secure the stability and character of
church building or any other edifce
IS now out of date. Money serves the
purpose even better now, except in
factories using child labor. There
the blood Offering is still required
not in, but within, the walls.-Atlanta

Manhattan avenue, in the vicinity

New York, June Sd, at 10 o'clock, re-

PRETTY WOMAN LAWYER.

Her Smile HypnOtized Court, Officers
and Jurors.
In New York court the other day
a young woman lawyer appeared as
counsel for the defense in certain
case. She was pretty, smiling, win
some. Her voice was soft and sweet.
She carried little lace handkerchief,
and occasionally toyed with a ring on
her left hand. AS she questioned the
witness she occasionally smiled
across at the jurors, and they smiled
back. And from time to time she
would smile at the court, and the
court would smile back. In less than
an hour all the court officers were
waiting on her. One brought her a
fan, another kept her in ice water,
another reached for papers and books
of reference when she wanted them.
When, after six questions, she failed
to elicit from witness such reply
as she wanted a juror took up
the examination and got the right an
swer for her. 1t is easy to see what
the outcome of the case will be. Now
the question arises, ought pretty lit
