"God Bless You"
From the London Chronicle

The custom of saying God bless you.
after sneeZing must be at least as old as
the fifteenth century, as a reference to it
appears in the first edition of Cations
Golden Legend After describing a GER
tain malady which broke out among the
early Christians-the result, apparently
of their Incorporate habits-Caxton pro-
ceeds: "ln this manner somtyme snes-
yng. they deyed that when any per-
some was herd snesyng, anone that were
by said to hymn. God helpe you or Chryste
helpe and yet endureth the custome A
curious superstition with regard to sneeZ-
ing still fingers in the villages of Devon
shire. 1t has found expression in the Iol-
lowing couplet:
Sneeze Sunday morning fasting.
You'll enjoy your own true love To everlasting.
LIN the highlands of Scot and il is believ-
ed that "A newborn child is under the
thrall Of the fairies until IL sneezes.

Scotland and Horse Racing.

Scotland has been famous for its horses from the most ancient days. When Agricola defeated the Caledo- nians at the battle of the Grampians. A. II. S4, the Celtic enemy, as Ta titus relates, were exceptionally strong tu cavalry and charioteers. Successive kings of Scotland did much to Improve its native breed of horses. and in this connection 1t is not to be forgotten that the first Scottish king of Eng land, James l.. did more to improve the race horses ir our island than was ever done before him or has ever beer done by any individual since. James I. was the real author of horse racing ns 1t has since been known Ill England He 1t was who first established r@Eu lar courses, and during his reign there came into being the code of rcEula- tions that led up 10 the modern laws et the turf Nobody denies that horse racing has done much for the hrecd of British horses It was gift from Srotland-London Answers.
