CHE WHY of
SUGGESTIONS
SASSAFRAS WOOD
By H. IRVING KING

IN SOME parts of the country they
l. 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 1t cracks and sputters in the
burning some one will die. The sassa-
fras was formerly called saxafras and
thus appears to have become mixed up
In folklore with quite another genus,
the genus saxifraga, the "stone-
breaker Of the Romans. AS the saxi-
frage commonly grows In rocky places
forcing it's way from the interstices
of the stones, 1t was considered by the
Romans as a cure for calculi, acting
by sympathetic magic. Both in the
sassafras and the saxifrage medicinal
virtues have been ascribed from time
immemOrial and from time immemo-
rial the saxifrage has been considered
a mystic plant; its mystic qualities
have been communicated along with
its 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 that when that rather
hazy Hungarian king, Chalba, after
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
its application. To use as firewood
plant possessed of such mystic and
therapeutic powers as the saxifrage
was naturally accounted among the an
clients as a crime; destroying Of a
gift of the gods and therefore calcu-
lated to bring bad luck to the de-
stroyer. The belief that the cracking
and swapping Of the wood as 1t burns
indicates a death comes from 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 will die. Thus the current
superstition regarding sassafras in
herited from saxifrage.

ed this life one year ago today
January u, 1926:
Dearest husband and father, how we
miss you
From this world so dark and cold,
But we know you are abiding
Safe within the gates of gold.
We will miss that loving handclasr
Which you did so freely give;
And the good advice you gave US:
Look to Jesus now and live.
We can hear you sweetly singing
Safely on the other shore
Singing to your wife and daughter;
Soon we'll meet to part no more.
You have wrought a faithful mission
And your deeds will live behind;
But your absence brings much sorrow
Oh! such sorrow to the mind.
Watch our coming, o beloved one;
We shall meet some sweet day,
When the Saviour bids our coming
To the realms of endless day.
Do we meet to part? No never
1t will be a glorious dawn,
And We'll join those gone before US,
On the resurrection morn.
HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER.
We have only memory, dear father,
To remember our whole life thru,
But the memory will linger forever,
AS we treasure the image of you.
HIS ONLY DAUGHTER.
