HALoYoN days is the name given by
the ancients to the seven days which pre-
,ede and the seven days which follow the
shortest days of the year. There is n
fable that, during this time, while the
kingfisher, or halcyon bird, is breeding,

term "halcyon days" means peace,
calmness and tranquility.
The origin of the slang expression,
"Pll cook your goose for you," is this
King Eric, Of Sweden, coming with
few troops to a certain town, the inhab-
itants, in contemptuous defiance, hung
out goose for him to attack. But Eric
being in earnest, the citizens sent her
aids to ask what he wanted. "To cook
your goose for you," was the facetious
reply.
