SUPERSTITIONS OF NINE.
A Number Conspicuous In Ancient and
Modern Speech.

Modern Speech.
Of all odd numbers the one which
would seem to be the most conspic-
uous in ancient lore and modern
speech and in illusions of all sorts,
whether classic or vulgar, is 9.
Whether this is because it is a null
tiple of 3, triple trinity, or not
we need not stop to inquire. The
connections in which 9 figures are
very numerous and extraordinarily
varied. Of old there were nine
muses. sand4 also nine riversysin the
Internal regions. In classical my
thology we read of nine heavens
and nine worlds, and the hydra had
nine heads.
In medieval times there were
nine "worthies Of the world" the
places in this select assembly being
differently allotted by different au-
thorities, the usual division being
three gentiles, or paynims, three
Jews and three Christians, One of
the Oldest English games is nine
mems morris. It could be played
either indoors or outdoors, on
folding board marked with the nee
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 UNI
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 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 tailors make a
man. Queen Elizabeth is alleged to
have once addressed deputation OF
eighteen tailors with a "Good morn
ing, gentlemen both"
Every one knows that cat has
nine lives, while the "cat" that is
used for the castigation of evil
doors 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 cat"
which will be news to most folk.
Three more examples may be CIV
en- from a collection of applications
of this remarkable number 9 which
is not easily exhausted. Possession,
we often hear, is mine points of the
law" A person who has paid some
attention to his or her attire is said
for some inscrutable reason to be
dressed sup to the Mines" while the
most startling event is but "nine
days wonder" The last phrase,
though truer now than ever, was ia
miliarly used, with many other still
current forms of popular speech, In
the days Of Chaucer. = London

Lfers0n's greatest
boaUer aUas his epti-
mistie faith tn the
common people.
-HOMAs JEFFERSON. while th

~HO1AS JEFFERSON, while the
great Democrat Of his err, was
Of rather ariStOcratic parentage
and had the advantage Of lib
eral education. He was peculiarly,
considering his time and surroundings,
of the type of tle scholar in politics.
That he should have been this and yet
the foremost American radical of his
day marks him as an odd combination
in our history. The turning point in
his career was his appointment to draft
the Declaration of Independence. This
came about from a double cause--Jer-
ferSon'S reputation as a writer Of polit-
1cal documents and the Jealousy felt
by certain members Of congress toward
Richard Henry Lee, who had intro
duced the independence resolution.
Volumes have been written to disprove
Jefferson's authorship Of the Declare,
ton, and a widespread belief has per-
sisted even to the present that most
of it, if not all, was really written by
Thomas Paine. However that may
have been, the fact that Jefferson was
appointed to prepare the document, the
consequent Inference that it was his
work and the reputation resultant
therefrom operated powerfully to make
him a political leader. In addition to
this, the unquestioned products of his
pen, breathing the spirit of advanced
democracy and the doctrines Of the
French revolution, tended to place him
at the head of the growing democratic
sentiment in this country.
Jefferson's greatest power was his
optimistic faith in the people. He
trusted them, and they returned the
compliment. Herein is to be found
the secret of his success. He was not
speaker. He belonged to the school
of the idealists rather than to that OF
the practical politicians. He inclined
to be freethinker in religion. All
these things were handicaps rather
IAN helps toward popularity. It was
eJefferson'S persistent advocacy OF the
rights Of the people and his implicit
trust in their judgment that made him
so strong with the masses. It was this
that made him the most commanding
figure at the beginning of the nine
teenth century and an influential rae
tor from that day to the present.
In person Mr. Jefferson was tall and
bony, with light eyes, rudy complex
ton and red hair.

Fake Antiques.

People are buying English an
tioues from taste or as investments,
and as they do not part with them
the supply is becoming shorter and
shorter. A result is that the coun-
try is full Of limitations. The can

are frequently bogus. We are flood

Pilgrim Mothers Forgotten.

AT the dedication of the
at Provincetown, Mass, the other day
In honor of the pilgrim fathers no
mention was made of the pilgrim
mothers, who shared all their tolls and
dangers, and no woman had a place
on the programme. This is not to the
credit of the committee on arrange
ments.
When President Roosevelt, the prin-
cipal speaker at Provincetown, visited
New Orleans Miss Jean Gordon was
introduced to him at the reception with
the remark that she was a strong be-
lever in woman suffrage. "Mr. Roose-
welt believes in woman suffrage, too
said Miss Gordon. You bet dor
answered the president heartily. And
as he was led away to some of the
formal exercises in which women had
no part he turned back and added:
"1f you women had votes you would
not be excluded from these exercises.
You would have your full share in the
whole celebration!'
In this case at least the women seem
to have a just grievance. The pilgrim
mothers and their daughters of today
should have had an opportunity to be
heard.

The dance of the dells and the song of

that it would interfere with his plans
for ending his life he would doubtless
have visited the barber before trying
to cut his throat. Altman hacked his
throat terribly, but the strong, wiry
hair prevented the razor from reach

will recover.
