There are two interesting pages in this issue on Superstitions and Taboos,
well illustrated. One of the superstitions is to keep a dog from straying...in
the old days they scraped the four corners of a table on the upper side--then
fed the dog the scrappings. Another favorite method of keeping a dog at
home, considered very effective, was to mix small quantities of your own
blood with the dogs food..then feed it to him.
