the world. An author interested In
such matters has collected no fewer
than S73 separate specimens, or varia-
tions of specimens, including 464 En-
glish, 269 German, p French, as well
as examples in Dutch, Turkish, Ar
menian, Marathi, japanese, Penobscot
North American IndiaD, Arabic, Ko-
many. Italian, Bulgarian, modern
Greek, Swedish, Hawaiian, etc. Many
of these are evidently of common orr
gin; the English one beginning, "Ena
mena, nina, mo" has representatives in
many European languages. The rhymes
are of great antiquity, and are said to
be survivals of mystical charms and in
carnations used in sortilege or divina-
ton by lot, and in other similar mat
ters, by the sorcerers- and pretended
wizards of bygone times. Those who
hold this opinion maintain that these
phrases have survived among children,
though no longer used by adults, just as
other things-e. G., bows and arrowsare
used by children in their games, though
long since abandoned by their elders.
The rhymes are certainly very old, and
it is well known that in ancient times

is also clear that, not only in the Dark
Ages, but long before, similar jingling
charms" were used by pretended wiz
ards and by quacks. The features COM
mon to all the rhymes, such as the
form and metre, the mixture of gibber-
ish and known words, certainly seem to
point to some common origin.

own importance as heir to the throne,
of which his younger brothers were fre-

threats, nothing availed with him. He
grew daily more exacting and captious,
and when poor Eitel Fritz, the second
