# Fire!!/Flame from the Dark Tower/The Death Bed

The Death Bed
All the time they were praying
He watched the shadow of a tree
Flicker on the wall.
There is no need of prayer.
He said,
No need at all.
The kin-folk thought it strange
That he should ask them from a dying bed.
But they left all in a row
And it seemed to ease him
To see them go.
There were some who kept on praying
In a room across the hall
And some who listened to the breeze
That made the shadows waver
On the wall.
He tried his nerve
On a song he knew
And made an empty note
That might have come,
From a bird's harsh throat.
And all the time it worried him
That they were in there praying
And all the time he wondered
What it was they could be saying.

Chh, kh, ph and th are in like manner pronounced clearly aspirate, they are kept in the alphabetical arrangement like single consonant at the end.
The accent marks merely indicate the modulations of tones.
In the way of learning Chinese, first to catch their natural tones, which is by no means difficult, if the student carefully studied directly from the lips of a native. They are divided into four great classes, and each of these four classes is divided into two subdivisions called the Upper and Lower, and their actual nature is briefly given as follows:—
| 經 | Keng Classics | |
| *景 | Kéng great | Upper four tones. |
| 敬 | Kèng esteemed, | |
| 棘 | Kek also | |
| 煢 | Kêng distressed | |
| *景 | Kéng extensively | Lower four tones. |
| 競 | Kēng to wrangle | |
| 極 | Kĕk extremity. | |
* These two are actually similar in tones.

# Folk-Lore/Volume 1/Fascination and Hypnotism, 1

FASCINATION AND HYPNOTISM.
To the Editor of Folk-lore.
Sir,—In reading M. Tuchmann’s exhaustive papers in Mélusine on Fascination (the Evil Eye, etc.), an idea has occurred to me, which I have no time to work out, but which may possibly be of use to folk-lore students. Were the old folk so entirely in the wrong in attributing special influence to particular persons? Do we not see the same thing at every hypnotic séance? In short, may not the whole subject be summed up in the formula, La fascination c’est l’hypnotisme?

# Folk-Lore/Volume 1/A Tale of Campbell and its Foundation in Usage

A TALE OF CAMPBELL AND ITS FOUNDATION IN USAGE.
To the Editor of Folk-Lore.
Sir,—Mr. Gomme’s interesting paper on a tale of Campbell’s, and its foundation in custom (supra, p. 197 seq.) appears to me to have one main weakness. The incident of finding the mallet in the box which the ill-treated father hides away from his children, pretending that it contained money, is not vital to the story. If the box had contained leaves or bricks or sand, the nemesis on the children would be the same. No doubt the rhyme on the mallet is effective, but against whom? Not against the children; ​but against a parent who could be fool enough to trust them with all his wealth before his death. I am encouraged in this view of the want of the vital connection of the mallet by observing a variant of the story found as far away as Kashmir (Knowles, Folk-Tales of Kashmir, “How the wicked Sons were duped”), and without the mallet. Here we have the ungrateful children, the friend’s advice, and the hoarded box with nothing in it, which leads to better treatment by the children; but all that is found in the box after the old man’s death is dirt and leaves.
I would add that the presence of the same rhyme in the Gaelic tale, the twelfth century Latin story, and the German inscription, seem to me to tell for the origination of the stone in one single place in historic times, and its diffusion to the remaining spots where it is found. Till that centre of dispersion is settled the story cannot be used as evidence for custom in any place, as it may be merely an unmeaning rhyme borrowed from a place where it had meaning.
Joseph Jacobs.
# Foliage/Young Beauty

London: E. Mathews, page 36
YOUNG BEAUTY
When at each door the ruffian winds Have laid a dying man to groan, And filled the air on winter nights With cries of infants left alone; And every thing that has a bed Will sigh for others that have none:
On such a night, when bitter cold, Young Beauty, full of love thoughts sweet, Can redden in her looking-glass; With but one gown on, in bare feet, She from her own reflected charms Can feel the joy of summer's heat.
# Felt’s Parliamentary Procedure/Parliamentary Inquiry

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY.
35. If at any time a member is in doubt as to whether a rule of the assembly or of ​parliamentary law is violated, or if he wants information as to the parliamentary effect of any question before the assembly, or to a motion which he desires to bring up for consideration, or if he is in doubt as to the proper form relative to some business before the assembly, he may rise to a parliamentary inquiry for the purpose of information, or to secure a ruling of the chair on the subject.
​36. The form is, “Mr. Chairman, I rise to a parliamentary inquiry.” The chair then asks the member to state his inquiry, which he does. After the member has stated his inquiry the chair gives the desired information, or if the chair is undecided as to the proper procedure, he may either submit it at once to the vote of the assembly, or he may ask the opinion of the members before answering the inquiry; this giving of such opinions should not take the form of a debate, and the chair may at any time decide the question. This decision is subject to an appeal to the assembly.

# Felt’s Parliamentary Procedure/Parliamentary Rules

PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURE.
PARLIAMENTARY RULES.
1. The system of rules (practiced in deliberative assembles, known as parliamentary law) had its origin, and derives its name from the method of transacting business in the English Parliament. The system used in this country acknowledges as its source the rules for conducting business in the United States House of Representatives. The original rules and forms under either system have from time to time undergone such marked changes as to be of little value, except as precedents, and, therefore, ill suited for general use.
The rules of either system, although they have arisen at different times and under many circumstances, are neither capricious nor accidental, but are founded on reason and justice. With an understanding of the rational principles which underly these ​numerous rules, the student cannot fail to be convinced that the system is well adapted to the purpose of guiding deliberation.
Parliamentary law is not firmly fixed, but is in continual process of development by acceptance of new usages which experience has shown to be desirable; when such usages are generally recognized as good, by having received the approval of many deliberative assemblies, they take their place as a part of the system. When a rule has been generally superceded by the adoption of another rule on the subject, the old rule ceases to be a part of the common law and the new rule takes its place. Therefore, the term “Parliamentary law” should be applied only to those rules which are in present use, or have been generally adopted by deliberative assemblies.
While the rules adopted and used by the House of Representatives are recognized authority in legislative bodies of the country, yet because it is so large a body, its business so complicated, and the supremacy of party so strong, its laws cannot always ​be followed as a model. It is also unwise for an ordinary society to adopt the widely differing and constantly changing rules of the various state legislatures, since in all large assemblies the deliberating is usually done by committees. Then, too, because these rules are adapted to the peculiar wants of large bodies, and are often not suitable for ordinary assemblies, it follows that legislative rules should not be appealed to as governing ordinary assemblies in every matter of detail, but only in the absence of special rules or of an adopted authority are they of any force in other assemblies.

# Felt’s Parliamentary Procedure/Postpone to a Certain Time

Layout 2
POSTPONE TO A CERTAIN TIME.
102. If a question arises which the assembly prefers not to decide at once, or if the member desire further time for reflection or examination that they then possess, or if they desire to take up some other business, the question then under consideration may be postponed to a certain day or hour, but such postponement should not be to a day when the assembly will not be in session—because such motion would be equivalent to indefinite postponement, or to a time beyond the next succeeding session, because this would be equivalent to an ​attempt to prevent the next assembly from considering the question. It cannot be applied to a subsidiary or to any of the strictly parliamentary questions alone; if moved when any such question is pending it relates to the main question also.
103. A motion to postpone to a certain time may be amended by changing the time and is debatable as to the propriety of postponing the question, but such debate should be confined strictly to the motion and should not involve the merits of the question it is sought to postpone, since if the postponement be lost the question is still before the assembly for debate, or if carried the main question may be fully debated when again before the assembly. When two or more questions have been postponed to the same time they should be taken up in the order in which they were postponed, even though they are not taken up at the time apointed, but they cannot be taken up before the time appointed, except by a motion to take up out of order, requiring a two-thirds vote, or by a suspension of the rules (130) for that purpose, ​also requiring a two-thirds vote. When the time arrives for the question postponed to be taken up everything yields to it except privileged motions (80). When a question has been postponed to a certain day or hour it becomes on that day or hour one of the “orders of the day” (89).

# Felt’s Parliamentary Procedure/Order of Business

Layout 2
ORDER OF BUSINESS.
144. Since societies are organized and meetings held for such a variety of purposes, it is impossible to give an order of business acceptable to all societies or meetings. Inasmuch as some order of business should be adopted to restrain individual members from calling up favorite measures or business out of its proper order, it is ​necessary that any society having a permanent existence should arrange in advance the order that will be most suitable for the transaction of its business—to be transacted. In the absence of such special arrangement, or of a constitutional provision, the following will be found suitable for ordinary purposes:
Call to order.
Reading and approval of the minutes.
Reports of standing committees.
Reports of special committees.
Unfinished business.
New business.
Adjournment.
It will be readily seen that the above form may be modified by inserting other orders, or by changing their arrangement in any manner that will best serve the interest of the organization. Since no form that could be given here would be suitable for all cases, each society must judge itself as to the extent of such modification.

# Felt’s Parliamentary Procedure/Order of Motions and their Precedence to One Another

Layout 2
ORDER OF MOTIONS AND THEIR PRECEDENCE TO ONE ANOTHER.
73. To fix the time to which to adjourn. To adjourn. Questions of privilege. Orders of the day. To lay on the table. The previous question. To postpone to a certain time. To commit. To amend. To postpone indefinitely. Appeals. Objection to consideration. Withdrawal of a motion. Division of a question. Suspension of the rules. To fill blanks. Reading of papers. To reconsider. To substitute. Main, or principal motion.
Note.—The above is the order in which motions may be said to have precedence over one another. It is understood that motions com​pelled by necessity, questions of privilege, questions of order, and questions of consideration (when applying to the main question) should take precedence for the time being over everything in the order named; but since there are many exceptions and much conflict of authorities on the subject of precedence and since many emergencies may arise, the chairman should be guided largely by common sense. As “necessity knows no law,” he should be the judge (subject to an appeal to the assembly) whether the motion so offered is of such character that necessity requires it should have precedence. (a) For instance, while good authorities assert that the motion for adjournment is not in order after the previous question has been acted upon and ordered. Because if ordered and the adjournment is decided in the affirmative, then the question would come up immediately upon re-assembling—since the previous question is still in force—and the vote is so ordered by the previous question would then be taken. (b) So also there seems to be no good reason why the previous question, both motions for postponement, and to commit should be regarded of equal rank, and therefore the previous question not allowed while either of these questions, or in fact any debatable question, is pending. (c) Furthermore, if an amendment is pending why should not a motion to indefinitely postpone be allowed without first acting on the ​amendment? Because it is presumable that the members are competent to judge whether they desire to dispose of the whole matter for that session by indefinite postponement.
