AMULETS, CHARMS AND TALISMANS
ANY object worn as charm is an
amulet. 1t is often a stone or piece of
metal, with an inscription or some fig
ure or it, ana is generally suspended
from the neck and worn as a preServa-
tive against sickness, witchcraft, etc. It's
origin was Oriental The ancient Egyp-
tians had their amulets; so, too, the
Greeks and Romans. The phylacteries
of the Jews (See Matt. xiii, s., slips of
parchments on which passages of the
law We're written, were evidently worn as
badges of piety by the Pharisees, and
also as preservatives against harm.
Amulets early passed into the Chris
han church, with the inscription Itch
has" (the Greek word for fish, because
it contained the initials of the Greek
words for Jesus Christ, Son of God, Sa-
Vior In the early church the making
and selling of amulets was a prosperous
business. Among the Turks and other
nations Of Central Asia the wearing OF
amulets or charms is common. Coins
marked with cross were extensively
used during the Middle Ages as charms
Kopp, German author, wrote a work
on amulets and their inscriptions
Tie talisman is a species of charm
consisting Of figure engraved upon met
al or stone, when two planets are in con-
junction, and for this the planets are
supposed to exist some protective inf1u-
cnce over the wearer of it. A celebrated
form of talisnlan in use in Oriental coun-
tries is n piece OF paper on which the
names OF the seven slcepers and their
dog is written. This posted on a house
will keep away ghosts and demons.
To say that only the unlettc.ed and
vulgar arc superstitloue Is TO show ig-
norancc Of the reaching power of
this mysterious force. Superstition is,
for example, mildly rampant in cur po-
litcst society, and a fair amount of very
genuine credence is held by maids and
matrons Of fashionable society. This is
pvoven first by the fact that g0odly
proportion of American and English deb
utants and their lnan3Inas wear VICIOUS
comforting little an1uleis, carry luck
pieces, put their wedding rings on with
a wish and taho certain precautions
against the i'll will OF any possible enc

COMING Events
A STUDY OF COMING EVENTS.

A STUDY OF COMING EVENTS.
For centuries the countries of the At
lantic ocean have been the center of
the worlds greatest activities. The
twentieth century finds wide field in
Pacific lands and waters. Spread before
you a map of the world and take a little
time to the study of events certainly
assured within the boundaries of the
earth's greatest ocean during the new
century.
First-Put a mark at the Golden Gate.
Go back to 1S49 and even earlier than
that. Follow Fremont and others across
the continent and learn of their struggles
and dangers. Study the effect of the
discovery of gold that gave new impulse
to enterprise. Note the rapid progress,
the building of transcontinental rail-
roads, the disappearance of the great
American desert, the planting of towns
and cities along the recent trail of In
dams and buffalos. 1t is romance
of fact more fascinating than fiction.
Secord-Put mark on Puget Sound.
Study the Oregon TRAIL" and learn its
romance Note the presence of the
continents second greatest river, and the
boundless natural resources in air, water,
soil, forest and mine. Note Pugets ex-
banding commerce and strategic impor-
lance Note that between Lake Supe-
rior atlantic waters) and the worlds
greatest natural harbor puget Sound
that an empire awaits the coming of man.
incidentally make a mark, too, on the
Willamette valley, with it's water level
routes to the interior and to the sea.
Third-Put a mark at Sitka and study
the Seward purchase. Alaska was an
unknown land fifty years ago. Its story
from the beginning of Russian America,
to the Seal island contracts and to the
Klondike and Cape Nome days is a ro-
nance of the present. 1t is a modern
wonderland, a vast region of mountains,
plains, rivers, glaciers, timber, gold and
fish.
Fourth-Put mark on Honolulu.

ANACREON
This most celebrated of Greek lyric
poets was a native of Teos, in Asia
Minor, respecting whom we have few
facts on which we can depend He was
the contemporary of Cyrus, Camhyses
and Polycrates of Sames, at whose court
we find his, B. c. 531, enjoying high IA
vor, and singing the praises of the ty-
rant. We next hear of him at the court
Of Hipparchus at Athens, BIC. 525, where
he met the poet Simonides. He died at
the age of eighty-fve, being choked, as
the story goes, by cherrystone. Except
that he was a voluptuary, and spent his
time singing the praises of love, we
know little else respecting his private
history. There were five books of Ana
creon's poems in the time of Suidas, who
is supposed to have lived in the eleventh
