Salt and the Romans.

Splitting of salt is a superstition still
current among US. 1t is derived from
the ancient Romans, who used salt in
their sacrifices and regarded it as
sacred to Penates. To spill it careless
ly was to incur the displeasure of
these household divinities. After &C
cidentally splitting salt the ancient Ro-
man was wont to throw some oEer the
left shoulder-the shoulder of III omen
thereby hoping to call away from his
neighbor the wrath of the Deity and
turn 1t upon himself.
