Ancient Bridge Superstition.
A primitive notion existed among the
Romans and other races that a bridge
was an offense and injury to the river
god, as it saved people from being
drowned while ferding or swimming
across and robbed the deity of a cer
tain number of victims which were his
due. For many centuries in Rome
propitiatory offerings of human vic
tims were made every year to the Ti
ber. Men and women were drowned
by being bound and flung from the
wooden Sublician bridge, which, till
nearly the end of the republican pe
riod, was the one and only bridge
across the Tiber in Rome,

Seven hundred years ago some shep- |
herds of the valley of Roncal, in Na-|
varre, were murdered by shepherds of
the valley of Bareton, in Bear, the
crime taking place on the high pasture
lands of Arla, in the Pyrences. It!
would have been difficult to bring the
murderers individually to justice, and |
the Spaniards were preparing to make i
war upon the valley from which the |
French murderers had come when the
French villages proposed that peace be
maintained at the price of a yearly tax
or tribute, to endure for all time, and
this proposition was accepted.
The payment of this biood tax—origl-
nally three white mares, but later three
rows of a particular breed and color
has been made ever since, the custom
(it 18 nothing more) having survived
even the great wars In which both
France and Spain have engaged and
the storm of the French revolution,
Yearly the representative men of the
two valleys meet on the frontier at a
certain stone remote from any town
and go through the ceremony of pre-
senting and receiving the cattle. The
order of procedure, which is elaborate
and impressive, is fixed by a document
bearing the date 1375, though the tax
was pald a hundred years prior to that
time. The records of each yearly meet.
ing and payment are duly attested and
deposited 4n the archives of the Ron
