Custom Had Origin in Plague.

For many centuries plague was a
menace to all Europe. At intervals
it would spread like wiidfire. wipinG
out whole populations. In its ordi-
nary, or "bubonic," manifestation, 1t
depended for it's distribution upon
rats. But after while it was liable
to assume the pneumonia" form, at.
tacking the lungs.
In this form the malady spreads
with frightful rapidity. The plague
germs are in the air. People acquire
the infection by breathing. The af-
flicted scatter the germs by coughing
and sneezing.
1t will be understood, then, how
it came about that people. centuries
ago, adopted the precaution of shield.
ing the mouth by turning away the
head when coughing. sneczing. or
yawning. Today we continue to do
the same thing, for the sake of polite
ness; but in reality the custom is n
survival of the days when the common
prevalence of plague made it neces-
sity.

was reeded in school was the four
RS readin, ritin, rithmetic and

from that idea md have done too
