SWouIGnst 1t Jar You :''

Puck, took luncheon with Opper, the
cartoonist, at his home in Bensonhurst.
The host and his guest were smoking
postprandial cigars on the veranda
when Mr.. Upper became CONFUSED
with laughter at the sight Of one Of
his puppies tearing to pieces Mr.. Glib
sons hat. Gibson was inclined to
harsh measures, but Opper reminded
him that the dog was only a puppy
that knew no better, and the editor be-
came resigned. When Gibson rose to
leave Upper offered him the choice of
all his hats.

SOME SUPERSTITlONS.

If you want a cat to stay at your
home rub it's paw on the stove.
To keep a new dog, measure his tail
with a cornstalk and bury the latter
under the front step.
If you sing; in bed you will cry next
day If you sing before breakfast you
will cry before night.
A family must never move except in
the light OF increase of the moon. This
will secure prosperity and increase Of
possessions.
If woman is making soap and a
man stirs it, all win be we'll and the
soap will be fine, but if a woman comes
the soap will spoil in the making.
Looking at new moon for the first
time through Instructions, as through
a treetop, foretells misfortune during
that moon. To see it over the right
shoulder and in a clear space brings
good luck.

WHAT TOTEMIsM is.
Light on an Interesting and Little
Understood Subject.

Light on an Interesting and Little
Understood Subject.
It is interesting to note that totemism
b found not only in Alaska, but among
the North American Indians, the abo-
rhymes of Australia, the Hottentots of
Africa and even the hill tribes of In
dia Totems are also common among
the Samoans.
Broadly the totem is the badge of a
clan or tribe, but it signifies a great
deal more than mere political or social
alliance. 1t is not only tribal en-
blem, but also a family sign; not mere
ly a symbol of nationality, but also
an expression Of religion; not simply
bond of union among primitive peo-
pies, but also a regulator of the mar
riage laws and of other social institu-
tions A totem has been defined as "a
class of material objects which saw
age regards with superstitious respect,
believing that there exists between
him and every member of the class an
intimate and special relation
Among the Ojibway Indians there
are no fewer than twenty-three differ
ent totems. Nine of these are quadru-
peds, marking out the wolf, the bear,
the beaver and other clans, eight are
birds, five are fishes and one Is the
snake.
Some extraordinary superstitions re
garding totems prevail in Samoa. Thus
it is believed that if a turtle man eats
of turtle he will grow very i'll, and
the voice of the turtle will be heard In
his inside saying: "He ate me. | am
killing him." If a banana man uses a
banana leaf for cap he becomes bald.
If butterfly man catches butterfly
it strikes him dead. If fowl man
eats a fowl delirium and death results,
and so on, all going to show that the
totem has something Of the quality OF
fetch as well as the significance of
a family emblem.
Regarding totemism, it is to be noted
that the relation Of mutual help and
protection includes also the totem it.
self-that is to say. if a man takes
care of his totem he expects the to-
TEN to return the compliment. If the
totem is dangerous animal it must
not hurt his clansmen. The scorpion
men of Senegambia declare that the
most deadly scorpions will run over
their bodies without hurting them
There is a snake clan n Australia
which holds to similar belief. Among
the crocodile clan of the Bechuanas II
a man is bitten by a crocodile or even
has water splashed on him by one he is
expelled from the clan as one esteemed
unworthy by the totem.-Housekeeper

Sindbad's Alleged Prototype.

The story Of Sindbad the Sailor is be-
lieved to owe good deal to the legend
Of st. Brendan, the Kerry saint, whose
day is May 16. According to the legend,
st. Brendan sailed the ocean for seven
years in search of the island that had
once been Adams Eden. During that
time he regularly revisited the island
of Sheep, where the sheep are as large
as oxen; the island of Birds, that are
really fallen angels, and another island
which is really big fish named Jas
con trying to get his tail into his
mouth. st. Brendan used to encamp
on the fish on Easter day and go on to
the birds on Easter Monday He found
the Eden island at last, but no one
has seen it since, though it appeared
on seventeenth century maps and in
an eighteenth century treaty between
Spain and Portugal. Probably Irish
monks took this legend with them to
the east in the ninth century London
