Superstitions
Blu H. lRDlNG KIN g
YOUR ENEMY's PICTURE

de- ESEARCHES of the American
N Folklore society show that COM
paratively recently there have been
cases where a person sought to injure
his enemy by drawing that enemys
picture on board and shooting at II
with rifle or pistol. 1t was believed
that the one sought to be Injured
would feel great pain in that part OF
his person represented by the part OF
the picture pierced by the bullet and
tbat no one but the person who did
the shooting could give him RELIEF.
Kindred superstitions are now and
then met with in various sections OF
this country and in rural England
they are most common.
Again we have merely survival OF
svmnathetic magic handed down from
nrImitiye man. Injure the mans pic
ure and you injure the man. Ihis
sort Of yIcarious vengeance was prac-
t,ced nv all the ancients. Amid
the ruins of Thebes was found
small clay figure Of a man tied to
nanvrus scroll "evldently to compass
.ha p destruction of the person de-
.ounced in the script" Just what

affect the man it represented does not
appear. The superstition has come
down unaltered through the ages and
Is much more common today than
most people have any idea of. If the
stories of Catherine de Medici are
true one of her favorite modes of
getting square" with her enemies
was to have waXen figures made of
them and set the figures to melt be-
fore fire, or for quicker result
pierce the heart of the figure with n
pin. This superstition, as Frazer puts
1t, Is that "the man feels the injury
done to his image as If it were done
to his own body" and Elworthy adds: {:
1.-The idea is us old as the hills and
Is practlced today" The reason, we
do not hear more about this particular
superstition is because those who
practice 1t naturally do so in secret
and do not talk about 1t.

FACTS about Your name; it's histor);

canee; your lucky day and lucky jewel |

Artists have immortallzed Ruth, the
cleaner. standing in the fields, superb
in her full-blown Hebrew beauty with
the sheaves of grain clasped to her
breast.
1t was Ruth who voiced that ex-
quisite promise which is synonymous
with devotion in the worlds famous
utterances:
"Whither thou goest. will go; and
where thou lodgest. I will lodge; thy
people shall be my people; and thy
God my God"
According to the Biblical story,
Ruth became the wife of Boaz.
No nickname has ever been evolved
for Ruth. The name preserved sits
dignity and pathetic sweetness
throughout its history. It has been
adopted. in a popular sense, only by
the English language. In accordance
with its significance, the pearl has
been assigned Ruth as her talismunic
stone. Though the pearl, in this in.
stance. probably means tears, it will
undoubtedly produce the opposite sf-
feet upon the wearer. just as the opal
ceases to be unlucky for those whose
birth month is October. Pearls, worn
by Ruth. will counteract her heritage
to sorrow.
Thomas Hood expresses the poets
ideal of Ruth:
She stands breast high among the corn
Clasped by the golden light of morn,
Like the sweetheart of the sun
Who many a glowing kiss has won.

RUTH

NNE of the loveliest names in the
~ feminine category is Ruth. 1t
comes to us shrouded In mystery and
bearing the tragic sweetness of Bibll-
cal story. The origin of the name has
never been satisfactorily determined.
Some say that it comes from n Hebrew
word meaning trembling; others that
its origin lies in word from the
same language meaning coined to-
gether," but all agree that it must
have some connection with the word
"reuth" signifying beauty.
AS an English common noun, Ruth
has come to mean sorrow, pity. COM
passion. That it receives this in
depreciation from the story of the gen.
tie and faithful Ruth of Biblical his
tory, is open to belief. Certainly the
most famous Ruth of the ages was the
lovely daughter-in-law of Naomi, who
followed her into her own far coun-
try and Cleaned the grain from the
fields that they two might be fed.

When they are grown-up they wear
white feathers on their heads, tails
and tummies, while they wear black
feathers on their backs, which is the
reason they are named as they are.
Their beaks and eyes are yellow and
their feet are pink.
During the winter time they wear
grayish colored feathers upon their
heads.
Young Black Backed Sea Gulls are
not so dressy as the older members of
the family. They wear more brown
feathers and look more simply
dressed.
"Ha, ha," said Billy Black-Backed
Gull, the next day. "Ha, ha," he said
again, for the ack-Backed Gulls
make a sound that is very much like
a loud 'ha, ha."
"Ha, ha," said the other Black
