THE SAVING SALT.
superstitions of What Chemistry
Calls Sodium Chloride.

SuperSt1tions OF What Chemistry
Calls Sodium Chloride.
1.-THE devil loveth no salt in his meat,
for that is a sign Of eternity and used
by Gods command in all sacraments,"
says Scott in his discoveries Of Witch
craft" and indeed salt, no less than
fire, was from the very beginning Of
time, regarded as a gift from above,
says the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Homer calls 1t divine. The old Teuto-
mic races considered salt springs holy
things and worshiped them; Tacitus
tells of a long and devastating war
Waged over the question Of lordship
over one. Logs were soaked in water
from these springs and then set on fire,
from which small quantities Of salt
were produced; but, of course, this was
only far inland, since all salt comes or
iginally from the sea. There is plenty
of evidence in holy writ for ceremonial
uses Of it: the Mosaic law commands
that every oblation Of thy meat offer
ing shalt thou season with salt; neither
shalt thou suffer the salt of the cove
nant Of thy God to be lacking from thy
meat Offering; with all thine offerings
thou shalt offer salt" (Leyiticus, ii :13) /.
and Ezekiel in bitter reproach cries to
Jerusalem that "as for thy nativity, in
the day thou vast born thou
vast not washed in water to supple
thee: thou vast not sailed at all, nor
swaddled at all" (xiv ~. Salt was, In
fact, put into a child's mouth in bap-
tism and pinch Of it thrown into holy
water to keep the evil spirit at bay.
Some reason lies at the root of all
this; salt cannot corrupt, and has there
fore always been regarded as symbol
of Immortality; in Ireland a pewter
plate Of it was placed on the heart Of
corpse until burial, and then with
Goals and holy water thrown into the
grave. The superstitions connected
with 1t are legion, but perhaps the best
known is to the effect that it is unlucky
to spill it. Some have found an origin
for this in Leonardo da Vinci's famous
"Iast Supper" at Milan, where an
overturned salt cellar is represented by
the side of Judas, the traitor; but it is,
In fact, a very much more ancient SUI
perstitiOn than that. The victims for
Roman sacrifices were led to death with
salt upon their heads, which, should
they shake it off, was regarded as the
very worst of omens, and the idea was
hoary even then. 1t is scarcely surDris-
ing that a substance in itself regarded
as divine should presage disaster to any
being careless enough to let it fall, and
one can picture stately rites Of yore,
where salt was carried as a holy relic
might be in Italy to-day, and where, on
any accident occurring to 1t, the most
terrible Of heavenly revenge might be
expected to descend. 1t is not the first
lofty idea the true meaning Of which
has shed itself in its passage through
the ages, till now all that remains to
us is the mere ignOble superstition.
Should any be so unfortunate as to drop
or spill salt to-day, he is at once, we
are advised, to throw a pinch over his
left shoulder three times, saying, go
to the devil - each time.
