Darwin's Theory.

The general theory Of evolution as
first set forth by Darwin has not been
discredited or exploded, but Is ac-
cepted as scientifically established.
There have been various notifications
of Darwin's theory; for example, the
theory of development through the use
and dlsuse of parts of the body (Which
Darwin adapted from Lammarck) has
been discredited by all but a very
few Neo-Lammarcklans, but the sur
vival of the fittest to survive through
evolutionary processes remains unchal-
lenged in scientific circles.

This superstition exists In this coun-

IT exists in rural England, where It

QUITE EvT-
DENT.

The "strict construetionists" assert
that the opening in the tree must be
split so that it runs east and west and
the child passed through it toward the
rising sun.
This superstition is a mixture OF
survivals of tree-worship, sun-Worship
and sympathetic magic. First there
is the mystic rowan SO closely identi-
fed with the true ash, the Norseman's
tree of life. The child is passed
through toward the rising sun, thus
being dedicated to the sun-god. Then
there is the passing of the child
through a narrow opening in the sides
of which, it is hoped, his afliction will
become entangled and detached from
his body.
In his book, 'The Evil Eye" Elworthy
cites this superstition as one OF the
MANY which refute those whe doubt
that idolatry still persists among us,
notwithstanding all our enlightenment
and culture. For" says he, sit sure

Scotland where Jamieson's popular
songs give a Scottish version of the
story Of Becket's parents where the
Eastern maiden is introduced:
This Moor he had but a daughter
Her name was called Susie Pye;
And every day as she took the air.
Near Beicham's prison gaed she by.
The English diminutive for Susan
is Sue and Sukey; France has called
her Suzette and Suzanne; In Switzer-
land the name appears as Zosa and
Zosel. Germany claims Susanne,
Suchen and Suse. Perhaps the quaint

name, Sanrl.
The sapphire with it's mysterious
azure depths is the jewel which super
stition links with the destiny of Susan.
It has the power to preserve the wear

what was going on, and now that Mr..
Dog was on his way down the hill he
came out to see how it ended.
When he reached the foot of the
hill Mr.. Dog jumped up and, without
stopping even to give himself a shake,
he started off, home on the run with
his tail between his legs, and he did
not stop until he was inside his house.
Well, you should have seen how
my trick worked, said Mr.. Fox when
later he was telling his neighbor, Mr.,
'Possum, about it. you should get
yourself cart wheel, friend 'Possum,
and I will wager Mr. Dog will run a
mile without a stop when he spies it
by your doorway.
Il really should be paid for think
ing up such good schemes to protect

very wise; but / am so fond Of my
friends that I have to share all the
good things / discover with them"
Mr. 'Possum was not very wise
creature, but he knew Mr. Fox pretty
well, and he did not feel at all GER
tain there was not some trick about
the new scheme that would get him
into trouble and benefit Mr.. Fox. Any
way, he did not see any use in trying
a cart wheel to keep away his enemy
when he lived in a tree, where Mr.. Dog
could not climb.
"Going to try it?' inquired Mr.. Fox,
who saw cart wheels hanging from
trees all through the woods.
NO. replied Mr.. 'Possum. ct may
be all right for you, who have tail
only for show, but with a tail like mine
and a tall tree to climb think | had
better stick to my own way of escaping
from Mr. Dog
"Poor little narrow-minded 'Possum,"
sighed Mr.. Fox, as he watched his
neighbor walking away; The is so old
fashioned he won't try anything new.
For my part, l am glad / am broad
minded enough to try new schemes. !"

to get on the track of Mr.. Fox and fol-

wheel.
Here he stopped for a second, but
was so sure that Mr.. Fox was in his
home that he began to whine and bark
and dance about, trying to get through
the spokes.
Mr.. Dog was pretty large, so he
could not crawl between the spokes.
First he poked his head between two

others, and then somehow he seemed
to get all tangled up between those

you should-and no doubt you
