At state dinners, where a large number of guests of varying degrees of nobility would be invited, It was customary to seat those of the higher classes at the upper end of the table -that is, above the salt: while those of lesser nobility were seated at the nether end of the table, or below the salt, It Is from this circumstance that the expression, “Below the salt,” cate into common use with its quite logi- cal connotations of inferiority and meniality.

Primitive man saw in all nat. ural phenomena something related to his own spiritual being. Groping In a world of mysteries, himself not the least mysterious of things, he linked his destiny to stars and storms, to moon and sun and growing trees and plants. For him there were no boun- daries between the visible and the invisible worlds. And seeking in all things for a cause it was most nat- ural that, in the sweeping of the midnight blasts, he should hear Odin hunting with his train and in the howling of the tempest evil spirits waging destruction, or disembodied souls calling to souls still in the flesh, Among many savage peoples today a storm is still thought to be caused by some malign spiritual being and they seek to exorcise the “storm. flend” by various rites and inecanta- tions. Among other peoples living In f primitive state it is the spirits of the dead which manifest themselves in a storm. - Both these conceptions were common to our primitive ances- tors and it can be readily seen how, in the course of the ages, they should have consolidated and shaped them. selves Into the superstition that a soul wavering in Its earthly tenement should be swept away on the wings of a tempest, (@®. 1930, MoClure Newspaper Ryndicate.)
