A Sixteenth Century Wager That

The story is told in Joubert's s'Popu.

of the Duke of Ferrara, insisted once

one morning to go to the palace with
his nightcap on and his jaws wrapped
up. The first person he met stopped
him with the question, "What is the
matter with you, GonelleT" "a terrible
toothache." "Oh, is that all? I'll tel
you what will cure it," And every per
son he met had some advice to give
him.
When the jester reached the dukes
chamber, the same question and an
swer were repeated. "Ah" said the
prince, Il know of something that will
take the pain right away" Gonelle
instantly threw up his kerchief, saving:
"And you, too, monseigneur, are a doc

street in coming from my house to you
and have counted more than 200 of
them. l believe l could find 10000 in
the city" Whether the story is true or
false, it could be told again in our
days, and Gonelle would win his wager
without dispute.

The Stars Were Once Human Eyes.

The Stars Were Once Human Eyes.
The most remarkable belief or super
stition concerning the human eye is
one that is current in Australia.
Among the natives of that country it
is the general belief that the left eye
of every chief becomes star the mo-
ment the chief in question is done with
it. The sun, they say is the eye of the
greater god' and the moon the eye of
the 'lesser god" All the stars were
once the left optics OF human beings of
high rank. Shungle, Il celebrated chief,
once ate the eye of a valiant chief,
thinking thereby to increase the bril-
liancy of his own "eye star" But the
eye burned through Shingles belly
and killed him, whereupon his own left
eye became joined to the one he had
eaten, and the two may now be seen
as beautiful double star lying just to
the east of the Southern Cross
