Of course the man knew that there was some connection between a wine-stain and salt, but in the excitement of the moment be became confused as to the appropriate order of things. Hence his his jake. The spilling of salt has always been thought to be unlucky, especially if it look place whilst it was being banded from one to another. This was supposed to be an infallible sign of a quarrel between the two. The cure, or antidote consisted in the flinging of a pinch of salt over the left shoulder,'

The origin of the superstition is veiled in mystery. The Romans certainly believed in The most comfortable.it, and some folklorists suggest that it may have originated in the circumstance that all and reliable Children's
