THE ELDERS' FAIRY BOOK
SOME are, who for lost regions of enchantment sigh,
Lamenting still their infancy's loved pilgrimages
Through realms where even beans grew normally league-high,
Where forests, scorning quite Dame Nature's sober stages,
Upsprang full-leafed at witch's dictate or at mage's.
But he no vegetable marvel lacks who reads,
When first a vagrant wind the swelling spring presages,
The elders' fairy book, Blank's Catalogue of Seeds!   And sentimental souls have longings that ne'er die,
For pink-pranked garden spaces, bosky pasturages,
For lilied fountains with sweet, dusky arbors nigh,
For stingless bees, and birds that love their pretty cages,
For blooms defying blight and autumn's windy rages.
Ah, Arcady, forgot, rejected of dull creeds,
One volume still revives thee and thine appanages— The elders' fairy book, Blank's Catalogue of Seeds!
And ye who mourn the Perfect State, which, with rapt eye,
In youth ye visioned, where no sordid thought of wages,
But zeal alone drove men in useful works to vie;
Where rich and poor at last were one, all surplusages
Apportioned justly by impartial, selfless sages— Here, lithographed, behold what your bright dream exceeds— Snug cots, trim lawns, neat, smiling toilers of all ages— The elders' fairy book, Blank's Catalogue of Seeds!
ENVOY
Prince, here, is balm that each successive grief assuages
As dream by dream Utopia gradually recedes— To win the vision back, we need but con these pages— This elders' fairy book, Blank's Catalogue of Seeds!

# The Elder Edda and the Younger Edda/Elder Edda/Introduction

INTRODUCTION TO THE VOLUSPA.
As introductory to the Voluspa, the following description of a wandering Vala or prophetess may be thought both desirable and interesting: "We find them present at the birth of children, when they seem to represent the Norns. They acquired their knowledge either by means of seid, during the night, while all others in the house were sleeping, and uttered their oracles in the morning; or they received sudden inspirations during the singing of certain songs appropriate to the purpose, without which the sorcery could not perfectly succeed. These seid-women were common over all the North. When invited by the master of a family, they appeared in a peculiar costume, sometimes with a considerable number of followers, e.g. with fifteen young men and fifteen girls. For their soothsaying they received money, gold rings, and other precious things. Sometimes it was necessary to compel them to prophesy. An old description of such a Vala, who went from guild to guild telling fortunes, will give the best idea of these women and their proceedings":—
"Thorbiorg, nicknamed the little Vala, during the winter attended the guilds, at the invitation of those who desired to know their fate, or the quality of the coming year. Everything was prepared in the most sumptuous manner for her reception. There was an elevated seat, on which lay a cushion stuffed with feathers. A man was sent to meet her. She came in the evening dressed in a blue mantle fastened with thongs and set with stones down to the lap; ​round her neck she had a necklace of glass beads, on her head a hood of black lambskin lined with white catskin; in her hand a staff, the head of which was mounted with brass and ornamented with stones; round her body she wore a girdle of agaric (knoske), from which hung a bag containing her conjuring apparatus; on her feet were rough calfskin shoes with long ties and tin buttons, on her hands catskin gloves, white and hairy within. All bade her welcome with a reverent salutation; the master himself conducted her by the hand to her seat. She undertook no prophecy on the first day, but would first pass a night there. In the evening of the following day she ascended her elevated seat, caused the women to place themselves round her, and desired them to sing certain songs, which they did in a strong, clear voice. She then prophesied of the coming year, and afterwards, all that would advanced and asked her such questions as they thought proper, to which they received plain answers."
In the following grand and ancient lay, dating most probably from the time of heathenism, are set forth, as the utterances of a Vala, or wandering prophetess, as above described, the story of the creation of the world from chaos, of the origin of the giants, the gods, the dwarfs, and the human race, together with other events relating to the mythology of the North, and ending with the destruction of the gods and the world, and their renewal.

# The Grandeur of Ghosts

When I have heard small talk about great men I light my two candles; climb to bed; then Consider what was said; and put aside What Such-a-one remarked, and Someone-else replied.
They have spoken lightly of my deathless friends, (Lamps for my gloom, hands guiding where I stumble,) Quoting, for shallow conversational ends, What Shelley shrilled, what Blake once wildly muttered...
How can they use such names and be not humble ? I have sat silent; angry at what they uttered. The dead bequeathed them life; the dead have said What these can only memorise and mumble.

United States Supreme Court
73 U.S. 441
The Grace Girdler
APPEAL from the Circuit Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York.
This was a motion made by Mr. Donohue to dismiss an appeal from the Circuit Court of the Northern District of New York.
Lockwood, the appellant, with several others, had filed a joint libel against the schooner Grace Girdler, claiming damages occasioned by her collision with the schoonr Ariel. The aggregate damages sustained by the libellants amounted, according to the libel, to $2754. The libel was dismissed in the District Court, and the dismissal was affirmed on appeal in the Circuit Court. None of the libellants appealed to this court except Lockwood; and while it was apparently obvious that as owner of the vessel much the greater part of the loss had fallen upon him, the record did not aver that the damage which he had suffered exceeded $2000; as a statute requires that it should be, in order to give the court jurisdiction.
It was stated, however, in a brief filed by the appellant, on the motion to dismiss, and stated also by the appellant's counsel at this bar, Mr. Carlisle, that while it had been supposed by the appellant that the fact that his damage did exceed $2000 might be sufficiently inferred by comparison of different parts of the record, yet that the fact would clearly appear by affidavits; and he therefore opposed the motion to dismiss.
The CHIEF JUSTICE delivered the opinion of the court.

73 U.S. 441
The Grace Girdler
While it is true that the greater part of the loss fell upon Lockwood as owner of the Ariel, and her belongings, there is nothing in the record which shows that the damage sustained exceeded two thousand dollars. And this is essential to jurisdiction.
It is suggested, however, that, in point of fact, his share of the loss exceeded the jurisdictional sum. And it is the practice of this court in proper cases, when it is claimed that the value in controversy gives jurisdiction, to allow an opportunity to make proof of the fact. And in admiralty cases, where the pleadings may be amended, and new evidence taken in the appellate court, a liberal practice in relation to appeals is specially warranted.
An order will be made, therefore, allowing the appellants to make proof of jurisdictional value, by affidavits, and to file such proof with the clerk of the court within twenty days; in default of which, the cause will stand dismissed.
It subsequently appeared that the affidavits of value were actually on file at the time of the argument of the motion, though not before the court when the leave was given as above. The court thinking them sufficient, treated them on the discovery as if filed in pursuance of the leave. The motion to dismiss was therefore ultimately denied.

# The Gradual Acceptance of the Copernican Theory of the Universe

The Gradual Acceptance
OF THE Copernican Theory of the Universe

TO MY FATHER AND MOTHER
The Systems of the World in 1651 According to Father Riccioli
(Reduced facsimile of the frontispiece in Riccioli: Almagestum Novum, Bologna, 1651.)
Explanation
Astrea holds in her right hand a balance in which Riccioli's theory of the universe (an adaptation of the Tychonic, see p. 68) far outweighs the Copernican or heliocentric one. At her feet is the Ptolemaic sphere, while Ptolemy himself half lies, half sits, between her and Argus, with the comment issuing from his mouth: "I will arise if only I am corrected." His left hand rests upon the coat of arms of the Prince of Monaco to whom the Almagestum Novum is dedicated.

# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Hawthorne, Julian

Edition of 1920. See also Julian Hawthorne on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
HAWTHORNE, hâ'thôrn, Julian, American novelist and journalist, son of Nathaniel Hawthorne (q.v.): b. Boston, Mass., 22 June 1846. He was graduated from Harvard University in 1867 and afterward studied civil engineering in Dresden, but soon forsook this
occupation for literature. His first successful story was ‘Bressant’ (1872), the forerunner of a long list of novels, of which may be particularized ‘Garth’ (1875); ‘Sebastian Strome’ (1884); ‘Archibald Malmaison’ (1884); ‘A Fool of Nature’ (1896). He has also published ‘Saxon Studies’ (1876); and ‘Nathaniel Hawthorne and His Wife’ (1885); ‘Confessions and Criticisms’ (1886); ‘American Literature’ (1891); ‘History of the United States’ (1899; 1912); ‘Hawthorne and His Circle’ (1903); ‘The Subterranean Brotherhood’ (1914), a record of his prison experiences in Atlanta. His best work suggests more than one element that distinguishes his father's stories. There is a psychologic accent, the touch of mystery, and the avoidance of the stock properties of romance.

Edition of 1920. See also Hay River (Canada) on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
HAY RIVER, a stream which rises in the Rocky Mountains in Athabasca, Canada, and flows northeast into Great Slave Lake. It is navigable for about 140 miles from its mouth; its entire length is about 360 miles. The two Alexandra Falls (named after Princess Alexandra, now Queen Alexandra of England) are found in the upper course; they average about 250 feet in height and 900 feet in width.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Hayashi, Count Tadasu

Edition of 1920. See also Hayashi Tadasu on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
HAYASHI, hä'yạ-shē, Count Tadasu, Japanese statesman and diplomat b. Sakura, 1850; d. Tokio, 10 July 1913. As a boy he lived in the house of an American missionary to learn English, and later was one of the first students sent by the Japanese government to London, where he studied at the University College School. Entering the civil service on his return home he became secretary in the Central government and subsequently governor of Kagawa-ken and Hyogo-ken. He served as Vice-Minister in the Foreign Office from 1891 to 1896, when he was appointed Minister at Peking. In 1898 he was transferred to Saint Petersburg (Petrograd) and in the following year to London, During the six years he spent in London he was largely responsible for the promotion of the two treaties between Great Britain and Japan in 1902 and 1905, both of which he signed. In 1904 the Japanese legation in London was raised to the dignity of an embassy, and Viscount Hayashi thus became the first Japanese Ambassador. The rank of count was conferred on him in 1907. He held ministerial portfolios in the Saioryi cabinets in 1911 and 1912. At the farewell banquet given in his honor by the Lord Mayor of London, the Ambassador assured his audience that the Japanese people firmly intended to maintain the word and spirit of their engagements, and that the sympathy of the British empire toward Japan was reciprocated to the fullest extent. Count Hayashi was the recipient of honorary degrees from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. In 1903 he published in English a book entitled ‘For his People,’ and has also translated into Japanese several English and European classical works on politics and political economy.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Hay-worm

Edition of 1920. See also Hypsopygia costalis on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
HAY-WORM, the caterpillar of a medium-sized pyralid moth (Pyralis costalis), injurious to clover hay, and to other hay when mixed with clover. Its depredations can be prevented by keeping the hay dry and well ventilated, as the insect preferably breeds in moist or matted material such as is to be found in the lower parts of stacks; here the hay becomes filled with webbings of the “worms” and their excrement, rendering it unfit for feeding. The webbed material should be burned and the place thoroughly cleaned.
