So numerous are the queer beliefs con-

of them all would fill volume, but we
may mention a few OF them. From the
very earliest ages the seven great planets
We're known and ruled this world and the
jewellers in il, and their number entered
into every conceivable matter that con-
cerned man. There are seven DAYS in the
week, seven holes IN the head for the
master stars are seven" seven ages both
for man and the world in which he lives
There were seven material heavens, and in
the underworld described by Dante the
great pagan dead who were not good
enough for heaven or bad enough for hell
reposed in a Seyen-walled and seven-gated
city. There are seven cOiors in the spec
trum and seven notes in the diatOnic oc-
tave. and the leading note of the scale
is the seventh. Be it noted that the sew
