Rabbits Foot. or Plll2

Rheumatism Is not the only ailment
for which the possession of a rabbits
foot or hare's foot has been specific.
Pepys, the seventeenth century diarlst
had one as charm against the collie
But he was never quite sure whether
he ought to be grateful to it. At the
end Of 1854, noting his abnormally
good health for some months past, he
remarked; But am at a great loss
to know whether 1t be my hare's foot
or taking every morning of pill of
turpentine, or my having left of the
wearing Of gown. Three weeks
later a friend showed him that his
hare's foot was defective, not having
"the Joint to it," And 1t is strange
thing how fancy works." wrote Pepys,
"for no sooner handled his foot, but
became very well, and so continued"
Pepys got another hares foot, and
throve again, but in March he was
still wondering whether this was due
to the charm or to the turpentine
pills.

sorted to the long distance telephone

Fearful Punishments Threatened

Folklore Ohths.

During one of the occasional out
groupings OF pure thought with which
the recent Ruef trial in Judge Ca
baniss court in San Francisco was H.
Illuminated, 1t was stated by q distin-
guished prosecutor that perjury has
become the greatest crime of the age"
Perhaps the trouble is that perjury
does not entail such dire calamities
nowadays as 1t once did. Delving into
the subject with the spur of curiosity,
we learn that two or three centuries
ago 1t cost something to swear falsely.
Then 1t was mortal sin rather than a
simple crime, and some of the domestic
troubles which followed we're a curse
running to the seventh generation,
death from lingering disease within
II months, or being turned into a
stone, swallowed up by the earth and
ever afterward crawling about as a
vampire.

spoke the truth for practical moral
reasons and the immoral man lied for

Superstition has always been the
basis of oaths, and their practical
value has depended on the depth of the
superstition. That, of course, is evil
dent enough, as all that differentiates
an oath from plain statement is that
one introduces an element of religious
faith. In California taking an oath
