But doubtless the reader will notice
that in writing his hand moves from
left to right and not from right to left.
Here is an apparent violation of the
principle laid down In the quotation
given from Grant Allen. 1t Is, how
ever. more apparent than real. If you
study Egyptian hieroglyphics you Will
find that profiles invariably look to the
left. Hebrew, Arabic, Hindoostanee
and other ancient languages read from
right to left In these, as In some
modern tongues, we have to begin the
book at what is to us the wrong end.
The reason of this Is that the early IAN
guages were inscribed, not written. A
tablet of marble or brick formed the
page. The right hand could therefore
carve or impress the symbol in the nat
ural way and pass on. With the intro
duction of wax tablets Of papyrus and
in later times Of parchment and paper,
difficulty arose, for If the hand began
at the right and worked leftward 1t
would Obllterate its own work.
Hence the habit Of writing from left
to right. so that not only may the writ
ing be clean, but also that 1t may be
visible. With writing from left to right
came also reading in the same direc-
ton, and one result Of this Is very Curl
GUS. We have become so accustomed
to moving the eyes from left to right
that we instinctively look at things In
that way. Close your eyes in a room
and then open them. You Will find, I'M
less you make a positive effort. that
your eyes take In the objects on the
left hand first and then move to the
right. This is the way in which we
view landscape or a picture. the
painter follows the habit of the writer
and works from left to right to avoid
"smudging" his work, and 1t has been
remarked that when several compost
tons enter into one picture, as in some
of the ancient altar pieces, the chrome
logical order runs from the upper left
hand corner to the lower right hand

D.r,v,tion of "Whit" Sunday.

If they remembered that the welsh eau
the anniversary "Sulgwyn," which
means "White Sun" This title pre-
serves the Druidic tradition that the
sun about this time turns white. NO
doubt the old British belief arose from
the peculiar white glare OF the suniight

which must have been far more frap-
pant when south Britain was one vast
forest and a, thorn fence formed tne

Cricket Superstitions.
From Answers.

Superstition is rife in the cricket field.
1t is generally in evidence when a player
has been dismissed for paltry score and
is used as an excuse for failure.
A well-known player has stuck to one
pair of boots ever since he started the
game On the only occasion he left them
worn them In the cricket field ever since
He would not discard them now, although
they are in a frightfully dilapidated con-
dition.
The same deep-rooted belief is centered
in a pair of lucky bootlaces, a certain bat.
or cap. P. r. Warmers caps have been
the admiration of all beholders. Whether
he attaches the same amount OF supersti-
ton to the wearing of these as the spec
tators do one can herdly say, but when
ever he dons his striking parti-colored
headgear he certainly seems to bat with
far greater confidence.
Then there is the superstition attached to
grounds. The well-known terror OF the
Legion ground for Yorkshire county crick-
eterS has almost become a proverb. 1t
was emphasized in the recent match
against Essex, when Yorkshire was hard
put to 1t to save the game.
In the days of Tom Emmett, when
lengthy partnerships were but little known,
there was a prevalent superstition that IL
the fielding side sang in unison the song,
even IL rendered soto voce. would have
the effect of breaking up the stand at the
wickets. Tom Emmett was a partner in
great combined effort in front of the
stumps one day when the vocal chorus
was INDUCED in. 1t had not the slightest
effect upon the cricketer, who smiled upon
them all

But does Sir James really think that a

tai and corruptible this returning tide OF
vitality made more vital and insistent that
on which his habit of mind his degraded
desire, had dwelt all these months. And
this time 1t took more definite shape. He
knew that in his private dispatch-box, Of
which he alone had the key, there was a
bottle Of dark blue glass. He had put it
there on the morning of their departure,
not actively wanting 1t in any way, but
from habit, as one packs hair brushes and
nail scissors from habit, knowing one will
want them, though not now. But now he
began to want It; and though he wanted
also to get we'll, to break this Internal
chain that was wound SO closely about
him, yet that which had been the only
real desire Of his life for all these months

no chance to reach that morsel before the
other Cunning began to return, too; and
already there flashed through his brain
the design of when he should be abe with
safety to satisfy this growing desire. But
even as he thought of it, the desire itself
swelled mushroom-like. 1t must be soon,
it must be now. Just taste quarter
dose to satisfy himself that there was still
something worth living for. That warm
thrill and vibration spreading from the
head down through his neck, and invading
every limb with it's harmonies! Or should

answer, and he turned on his light to con-
vince himself that she was not there.
So he put it out and lay down again, but
no sooner had he closed his eyes and tried
to compose himself to sleep when the same
feeling Of her presence, more definite than
ever, again visited him. She was quite
close to him, and he knew as well as II she
put it into words what filled her brain. 1t
again and again, you are feeling better;
God is making you better, dear Thurso.
You are coming straight to Him, and no
sin or evil or sickness can exist in His
presence" And together with this, the
memory Of his words to her, which had
SO comforted her. came back with added
vividness. He remembered what he had
said now; he had used the strongest and
most solemn words he could. SO that he
could go at once to his cabin and-do what
he had done.
This lying here grew intolerable, he was
getting more acutely awake every moment,
and as he grew more awake the more he
was aware Of Maud's presence. Was 1t
perhaps some warning, did It mean that
she was in danger Of any kind. and that,
