Romance in Origin
OF Superstidons
BY H. I. KING.
Your Ears.

The researches of the American
Folklore Society," show that it is a
general superstition: in this country
that small ears indicate that person
is stingy. Large ears that he is
generous. This is one Of the many
uperstitions-some of them trace
able to very remote periods-which
may be classed under the general
head of physical characteristics.
Some of the superstitions with re-
gard to the significance Of physical
characteristics "have been expanded
into pseudosciences and all whole IL
braries OF learned misinfcrmation,"
as Professor Newell has remarked.
In many cases the significance as
signed to certain physical character
istics would appear at first glance
to be purely arbitrary in its designa-
tion. This, however, is in all prob
ability not the fact. 1t is merely
that the link which connects them
with their origin has been lost and
cannot be recovered; when the sig
nifcance was first assigned to the
characteristic there was a reason for
that assignment which has been for
gotten by the ages.
The other class of physical char
acteristic superstitions are those
which are founded upon analogies-
the physical quality suggests spir-
itual one which it is. therefore. taken
to indicate. In this latter class is
the superstition with regard to ears.
Generous sized ears, a generous dis
position small-sized, "stingl.' ears
stingy disposition.

man leaped from a hiding place and
struck Duggar across the head and
then slashed him several times with a
knife.
The man has SO far proved irwin

pursuers closed in on him he sprang
o his feet and escaped into the woods.
