Romance nOrigin
OF Superstihons
Ringing in the Ears.

That a ringing in the ears is a
prognostic of death is a very gen.
eral superstition in this country and
in many parts of Europe. 1t is not
supposed to foretell the death of the
one who hears the ringing, but that
he-or she-will, within a week,
learn of the death of a relative, friend
or acquaintance. The superstition is
merely the result of association. The
ringing in the ears, which is simply
due to sensitiveness of nerve in
the auricular cavity, by association
recalls the passing bell' which in
old times it was customary to ring
from the parish church when par
ishoner was dying. In fact, in many
localities one who has this ringing
in the ears will say Il have heard
the death-bell." In some localities
the direction of the apparent ringing
indicates the direction from which
the news of death will come. 1t is
an undoubted fact that all supersti-
tions connected with death have
deep root in popular belief, are very
widespread and vary but little in diff
ferent localities. In this connection
William Wells Newell, in an intro
duction to Mrs. Bergen's collection of
current superstitions, says: 1T is al
ways found that an especial conser-
vatism attaches to customs and ideas
associated with death; the disinclina-
ton to exercise independent thought
on a subject so serious leaves the
field open to the continuance of an
cestral notions and practices"

w WHY-
Does Paper Curl Up When Heated?


Although we are accustomed to
think of piece of paper as being
entirely dry and free from water, the
fact remains that there is a consid-
cradle proportion of moisture in
every sheet, just as. there is in all
ordinary things-even in those which
appear TO be free from it. The ap-
plication of heat drives this mois-
ture off and the spaces which were
formerly filled with this water are
then filled with air, which is
outside influences. The fibers of the
paper, which formerly laid out fiat
in the form in which they had been
pressed, contract and tend to bring
the different portions of the sheet
closer together, thus causing the
curled or wavy appearance which re-
suits when paper is laid in the sun
or placed in front of a fire.
In addition, paper, like practically
all other substances, contracts when
it is cooled and expands when heated.
But, owing to it's broad flat surface,
all sections of sheet of paper do
not ordinarily become hot with the
same degree of speed and the section
which is first entirely dried out ex-
pands and draws itself away from
tie moisture part, thus adding to
the curling action.

CHAPTER XVI.
A Long Wait.


Chirpy Cricket was so good-na-
turcd that he wouldn't quarrel with
his cousin, Tommy Tree Cricket. Al
though Tommy had said bluntly that
Chirpy's fddling reminded him of
Farmer Green's creaxing pump,
Chirpy made no disagreeable an
swer. He did not want to hurt his
pale cousins feelings.
After making his rude remark
Tommy Tree Cricket began his re-
teatl re-teat! re-teat! once more. He
shufiled his wings together at faster
rate than ever, as if he had to furnish
all the music for the night. AS be-
fore, he seemed to have forgotten all
about his caller; for Chirpy still
waited beneath the raspberry bush
where Tommy Tree Cricket was fid-
ding.
But if Tommy paid no heed to
Chirpy. there was reason why.
Near Tommy sat pale young miss
of his own sort, who listened with
great enjoyment to his playing. Or
at least she acted as if she thought it
the most beautiful music in the whole
world
Tommy Tree Cricket was not so
intent upon his fddling that he
couldn't roll his eyes towards his
fair listener. And Chirpy was not
slow to understand that it was for
her that Tommy was playing his re-
teat! re-teatl reteat!
"Ill wait here until he rests"
Chirpy said to himself. Then I'll
ask him again what he knows about
Mr.. Mole Cricket"
Well, Chirpy waited and waited.

Put it seemed to him that as the
night heightened Tommy Tree
Cricket fddled all the faster, And
ii the weather hadn't turned colder
along toward morning probably he
wouldn't have had chance to speak
to Tommy again.
Anyhow, a cool wind began to
whip around the side of Blue Noun
tain and sweep through Pleasant Val
ley. And the moment it struck
Tommy Tree Cricket he began to
play more slowly. Little by little a
longer pause crept between his re-
teats. And at last the pale miss be-
side him cried, Il hope you're not
going to stop your beautiful hd-
ding"
Il fear I'll have to-" Tommy told
her with a sigh. "In beginning to
feel a bit stiff, with this north wind
blowing on me-"
This was Chirpy Cricket's chance.
"Pleasew he called. will you
listen to me a moment?"
What! Have you come back
again?" Tommy Tree Cricket sang
out.
mo! I've been here all the time"
Chirpy explained. I've been waiting
for hours to have talk with you"
Every wellw Tommy answered.
"It's too cold for me to fiddle any
more. So talk away! And you'd
better be quick about it, for the
nights almost gone
But somehaw Chirpy Cricket felt
that his chat could wait little long
ei. If the pale young person clinging
to the raspberry bush near Tommy
Tree Cricket loved music, he thought
it was a pity to disappoint her.
"You may feel too cold to fiddle,
but l don't!' Chirpy said. I'm
quite warm down here on the ground.
This little hollow where I'm sitting
is sheltered from the wind. So I'll
fiddle for your friend" AS he spoke
he began to play.
Looks as of great pain came over
the pale faces of his two listeners in
the raspberry bush. And they shud-
dered so violently that they had to
cling tightly to their seats to keep
from falling.
my friend thanks you. But she
SAYS she doesn't care for your
fddling," Tommy Tree Cricket called
down to Chirpy. "She says it's too
scueaky."
Chirpy Cricket was hddling so
hard by that time that he never heard
a word. And when he stopped at
last. to rest a bit, voice cried out,
That's fine! Won't you play some
more?"
Chirpy Cricket was pleased. He
thought, of course, that it was
Tommy's friend speaking to him.
But when he looked up he couldn't
see her anywhere-nor her COM
panion either. .
They had both disappeared. And
it was already gray in the east.

Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
BY MILDRED MARSHALL.

Today's talismanic gem and natal
stone are the same-the turquoise.
In ancient times few women wore it,
but we are assured by the legends
that it may be worn if it keeps its
blue color; if it turns green, one
should not wear it.
According to the ancients, it drives
away evil and brings good fortune
to those who can weaf it and keep it
blue. 1t is said that the greatest
good luck comes to those who see
the new moon reflected in its sur
lace.
Dark blue is today's color, but if
worn by a woman on this day, is
believed to bring jealousy in love
affairs.
The magnolia is today's flower;
worn by young girls, it is symbolic
of modesty.

see that you are not justified in TAX
ing what you deny another.
Most of us are selfish-cruelly sell
fish at times.
As long as we get what we want
we give very little consideration to
those in whom we should be most
interested.
In many homes the husband and
the wife do not enjoy the same
things and one or the other goes
ahead and does what affords him or
her the most good time with no re-
gard for the others wishes.
Difference of opinion as to what
is enjoyment should not give one
or the other the right to think solely
of self.
