Touching Wood.
Many people, after they have boast.
ed of their good luck, proteed to
"touch wood." So did our remote an-
cestors; the tree worshippers.
An authority on such mattere wrote:
"The remarkable similarity in customs
all ever -Europe pb-ints -to the conclu-
eion that tree -warship was an import-
ant element in the early religion of.
mankind, especially of the Aryan
stock, and the singular uniforraltyne
rites and ceremonies -which can easily
be shown to exist in,widely separated
• etnintriee warrants as in believing that
they cannot have changed much:feom '
very remote ages; and that the pine-
ticee continued down to a very recent
period—some even among .ourselv-00--
I were. substantially identical evith the
rites and ceremonies obseewed by
1 Egyptians, Etruseene, Greeks, and Ro-
mans."
The primitive belief was that spirits
resided In:trees. Without this basio
idea being entirely lost there came
the period of the Sacred 'Groves and
tht; Druiti's Oaks, and then the dedi-
cation of certain sortle of trees to the
earliest and simpliese teem of, ,the
superstition. ' •
We touch wood to call the attention
of the tree spirit to the tact that we
recoguize his binnente in the good
luck of which we boast, and In order
thet he may, not feel slighted and
thaege our good tertane into bad; at
