Wrouch" Pieces Reminder
of "King's Evil" Cures
Two Carl II gold "touch" pieces
ogeed for sle in London serve as re-
:t"' of t:[Zfie wen monarchs
were supposed to cure the disease
known aa "the king's evil," which was
a kind of plague. The cure" was
effeeted by the sovereign laying hands
on the afflicted person, who was then
presented with "touch" pieces. Ed-
ward the Confessor introduced the cer-
emony into England, and the power
to heal in this manner was supposed
to become hereditary In the royal Une. '-
Usually the "touch" pieces were of
gold, but during the troubled days of
the reign of Charles I, gold being
scarce, sliver coins were often be-
stowed, though sometimes the Royal
physician had to discharge the pa-
tlents empty-handed. This strange
custom was at Its height in the reign
of Charles H, who proclaimed definite
seasons when "publick healings"
should take place. Those afflicted
with "the king's evil" had to be recom-
mended for "touching" by the parish
minister or church wardens. During
one period of four years the king
"touched" nearly 24,000 persons! On
Easter Sunday, 1686, Louis XIV attend-
ed 1,600 stricken people, uttering the
words: "The king touches thee; may
God cure thee." Fifteen sous were
given to each French patient and thir-
ty to each foreigner.--Montreal Her-
ald,
The Panama Canal
The first actual work done on the
Panama canal was undertaken by a
company chartered in France, headed
by the celebrated French engineer,
Ferdinand de Lessees. This was on
January 20, I882, when the excava.
tion of the Culebra cut was hegum
But this enterprise got into financial
difficulties and work was stopped in
18S9. A reorganized company re
sumed operations in October. 194.
and continued work of varying extent
until its rights and property were pur-
chased by the United States under au-
thority of the act of congress of Juno
28, 1902. The building of the canal
was then taken up by this country in
May', 1904, with Gem Gerge W.
Goethals as oh[el engineer, and fin-
ished,ten years later. The first ocean
steamer passed through on August .
914. ,nd on August 15 tbo cn;ml w::
opened to commerce.
