Internal regions. In Ga seal my
thology we read cf nine heavens
and nine worlds, and tie hydra had
nine heads.
In mediacval times there were
nine "wor:hics of the world the
places in this select assembly being
differently allotted by different au-
thorities, the usual division being
three gcntileS, or pavnims, three
Jews and three Christians. One OF
the oldest English games is nine
mems morris. 1t could be played
either indoors or outdoors, on
folding board marked with the nec-
essary lines and squares or on a
board marked out on field or down
by stones or by cuts in the turf. In
Dorset they still play the game un-
der the name of marnull.
Nine appears frequently in popu-
lar medicine. A Sussex collector
referring to the very common rural
belief in the efficacy of passing a
ruptured child through q cleft ash
tree says that the patient must be
attended by nine persons, each OF
whom should pass it through the
cleft from west to east. A Perth
kirk session record Of 1923 refers
to the preparation Of three cakes
for some medicinal purpose from
nine portions Of meal contributed
BY nine maidens and nine married
women. Threads with nine knots
and straws with nine joints are used
for various healing purposes, while
nine successive mornings are often
prescribed for the performance of
certain folklore ceremonies.
The great Lambton worm, one OF
the best known of English dragon
myths, had nine eyes and was fed
from the milk of nine cows.
Again, the same number is prom
inent in various common phrases
and proverbs. Nine talors make a
man. Queen Elizabeth is alleged to
have once addressed deputation OF
eighteen tailors with q "Good morn
ing, gentlemen both!'
Every one knows that a cat has
nine lives, while the "cat" that is
used for the castigation of evil
doers has nine tails.
When Mercutio insults Tybalt
and the latter inquiries, what
wouldst thou have with me" the
volatile but fiery partisan replies,
"Good king of cats, nothing but one
of your nine lives" Haywood, the
proverb monger, has the saying, "A
woman hath nine lives, like a cal"
which will be news to most folk.
Three more examples may be CIV

is not easily exhausted. Possession,
