CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
BY H. IRVING KING
SASSAFRAS WOOD

IN SOME parts Of the country they
: simply say that it Is bad luck to
burn sassafras wood In other sec
tons they go more into details and
say you must never burn this wood,
for if II cracks and sputters In the
burning some one will die. The sassa-
ffas was formerly called saxafras and
thus appears to have become mixed up
In folklore With Quite another genus,
the genus saMfraga, the stone
breaker" Of the Romans AS the saxi-
frage commonly grows In rocky places
of the stones, ii was considered by the
Romans as cure for calcuIi, acting
by sympathetic magic. Both in the
sassafras and the saxifrage medicinal
virtues. have been ascrbed from time
immemorial and from time immemo-
rial the saxifrage has been considered
a mystic plant; It's mystic qualities
have been communicated along with
It's near-name to our common sacca-
fras. formerly saxafras When sassa-
fras is mentioned in modern folklore
1t may mean either sassafras or saxi-
frage. One legend connected with the
saxifrage is chat when that rather
hazy Hungarian king, Chalba, after u
great battle with his brother, saw the
field strewn with-his wounded he was
miraculously directed to "try sassa-
fras' and, plucking great handfuls Of
the plant, cured $4,000 of his men by
It's application. To use as firewood a
plant possessed of such mysNc and
therapeutic powers as the saxifrage
was naturally accounted among the an
clients as q crime; destroying of O
gift of the gods and therefore caIcu-
lated to bring bad luck to the de-
stroyer. The BELIEF that the cracking
and swapping of the wood as it burns
indicates a death comes from a natural
association Of ideas. Every crack and
snap calls attention to the fact that
something Is then being destroyed
which might save human life
something that for want Of which
some one win die. Thus the current
superstition regarding sassafras in
herited from saxifrage.

baby clinics, children's Fairgrounds
