 put him on orange juice and gin ger ale. At the end of ten days Stewart was ready to eat anything, but the doctor began very gradual fly; gruel. broth and so on. And
 Stewart despised the doctor tor

 took my wife and me aside. ''s'

 about Is having plenty of good

THE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
By II. IRVING KING
DYING CHICKENS

THERE Is superstition common
4 In all parts of the country to the
effect that to let chicken die in your
hands brings on nervous disease
"palsey" they say in some sections,
the "trembles," or paralysis, they say
in other places--there is very slight
variation in different regions. This
superstition is based upon the magic
of cOntact-magic in one of its most
primitive forms. 1t is this magic
which is supposed to operate in the
transference of disease-by means of
which maady may be transferred
from child to dog by feeding the
dog some hairs from the afflicted
child; or a man may rid himself of
rheumatism by sleeping with dog in
the same bed, the rheumatism leaving
the man and going into the dog In
the case of the dying chicken the
transference Is the other way, from a
fowl to a man. 1t is a poor magic
which won't work both ways. Any
one who has seen sick chicken knows
how it exhibits symptoms which the
superficial observer would take for
those of aralysis-sometimes they ac-
tually are such. At first it would seem
as if the sick chicken taken in the
hand ought to recover, the disease
passing to the holder as in the case
of the rheumatic man and the dog
But observe-the superstition says
you must not ''let the chicken die in
your hands," In these superstitions
Of the transference of disease between
man and an animal the disease is gen,
orally supposed to pass from the man
to the animal, the man excelling in
the power of expulsion, the animal in
! the quality of receptivity. But if the
chicken actually dies in the hand then
its disease-which is of course an evil
spirit-has no longer home and goes
into the mainland he has the "tren-
bles," or paralysis, which the chicken
had There is also in this superstition
a tinge of that belief of primitive man
which is found In many current sl-
perstitions-in the death contagion."
