=. WHY
Do We Say That Someone Is CAS-
Deaf as An Adder?'


Probably on account of the pas
sage in the Psalms, where the wicked
are compared to "the deaf adder
which stoppeth her ear; which will
not hearken to the voice of charm
ers. charming never SO wisely"
practically all modern languages
contain the proverb deaf as an ad-
der" But we have to go back to
the superstition, prevalent in the
Orient from time immemorial,, that
adders defy the power of the snake
charmer by pressing one ear into the
dust, while stopping the other with
their tail. This. of course. is an
absolute absurdity, since serpents'
have no external ears. Shakespeare
gave utterance to the popular belief
when he wrote in Sonnet CXII:
In so profound abyss I throw all care
OF others voices, that my adders sense
To critic pnd to flatterer stopped are"
1t will be argued, of course, that
Shakespeare's use of the popular be-
lief was covered by his poets license,
but the fact remains that his natural
history appears to have been as err
roneous as the construction of the
last line of the sonnet is Teutonic.

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

The catseye is today's talismanic
gem, and is believed to protect its
wearer against deceit and treachery,
and also to warn him against deceiv-
ing others.
The days natal stone, the anne
thyst, is said to counteract the ten
dency of the catseye to encourage
deceit in its wearer, by causing re-
gret and repentance for evil deeds.
The lucky color for today is vio-
let, which brings the man who wears
it good judgment, industry, serious
thought, and to the woman noble
thoughts and religious tendencies
The pansy, symbolic of thought
fulness, is today's flower, and by
the constancy for which j, stands,
drives away treachery and suspicion.

old fur. A big fur cap is the thing
for Santa Claus head, and great
big bag should he provided for him
to hang over his shoulder To carry

Santa can be bought at some small
store for about twenty cents, and "A
big beard can he made of excelsior.

the excelsior can he dyed gray all the
better.
Each hoy i'm the club should pro-
vide one preSen; for Santa's bag. Ii
would he better if each hoy should
make the present himself. Good things
for such presents are bean bags, base
balls, hats, shiny sticks, tops, mar
bles. short wooden swords. slings,
putty blowers. iew's-harps. soap-hubble
pipes. jackrstones. mstch-safes, candy,
chewing gum. and so on.
All the presents for the Santa Claus
party should he handed to commit.
is to pack them all neatly in Santa

the members of the club should gather
together in the meeting room. and tho
COMMITTEES may meet in a room nea
by with the big boy whe is te he SAINT

escort him 10 the club. When SAINT:
comes in all will rise, and the pyesi
dent will say:
