Have You This Habit?
By Margaret Morrison
ANOTHER'S MONEY

II RUMAN SMITH went over fifteen
! year-old Elizabeth's lessons with
her each evening. Elizabeth was no
student, and Latin was the worst.
Aes alienum what does that
mean?" asked Truman. -
'Another's money" said Eliza
beth, glib as possible.
Her father laughed. Literally"
said he. Practically "another's money"
is translated debts"
Several years later Elizabeth re-
membered this conversation. Her first
year out of-school was gay beyond her
widest Imagination. Her father told
her that she was grown up now, and
gave her an allowance. Her first
months income and her charge ac-
counts started at the same moment !;
consequently her second months In
come went to pay the first months
bills. After that the bills waited.
Gradually Elizabeth's financial policy
developed. Her club dues were so
small that they could wait Her dress
makers bills were too big to pay all
at once-she would have to put them
off entirely for a while She consult
ed a woman friend The friend as
sured her that the shops were foo de-
pendent upon such customers as they,
to make Indebtedness disagreeable
Then Elizabeth found that having
forgotten her purse was very con-
venient when she and two or three
friends were out together and 1t was
a question of paying for tea A month
after Christmas she sold her watch,
present from her father, in desperate
resolve to begin to get square.
Then one day she went home to find
the little Englishman who made her
shoes for her waiting in the hail. AS
he stood there with his hat in his
hand he told her the story of his
Wife's illness, for the necessity of her
going away to the country if she was
to get we'll, of the doctors bills that
they must meet Elizabeth's long
overdue account would make all this
possible to them. "Aes alienum" IAN
others money" came from the for
gotten but never obliterated records
in EliZabeth's subconscious mind
debts means "another's money"
For the first time she went thor
oughly over her accounts; for the first
time she planned budget. She was
appalled, at the unfairness of her own
methods. With intelligence. foresight
and a stiff backbone her income would
be quite sufficient to meet her needs.
Denial she must practice till she got
.even. And then she swore that in
future she would acquire the habit of
''Pay as you go. Right spending and
right paying"

DROPPING KNIVES

THE superstition that the dropping
L of a tableknife means the coming
of a stranger existed before forks were
invented; when a man cut his food
with a dagger and conveyed 1t to his
mouth with his fingers. In those days
man carved his roast and his enemy
with the same utensil. When men held
their lives and their property by the
sword they became much attached TO
their weapons; personified them; gave
them names AS witness Arthur's Tx
calibur and Roland's Durendal.
There was, also, survival OF the
primitive idea that an article closely
associated by personal contact with a
man came to partake Of that mans
personality. 1t can readily be seen
how this idea would survive especially
with regard to the sword-or to the
lesser sword, the dagger-man's friend
for defense and ally for aggression.
This belief In sympathetic magic nat
urally caused the sword or dagger to
be conceived of as eLdued with GER
tain supernatural powers. So when
sword or dagger dropped from its
sheath without apparent cause-un-
sheathed itself as 1t were-it was a
warning to its master of the coming Of
foe-and foe and stranger were
synonymous in those days.
Scott alludes to the superstition in
1.-THE Lady Of the Lake" when Doug
las sword did self-unscabbarded fore
show the coming of secret foe"
When for domestic purposes table
knives were substituted for daggers

DAISY

WITH the possible exception OF
w Rose, there is no flower name SO
popular as Daisy. According to all
genealogical laws, Daisy has no right
to be accepted as proper name unless
it is taken in the sense of commem-
Grating the humble but charming little
flower Of the field.
However, Daisy is still Daisy, from
whichever viewpoint she is taken. The
same curious coincidence is true OF no
other feminine name in the English
language, and her whole chronological
history makes an interesting circle
within circle. Daisy is either the
endearing diminutive for Marguerite,
or she is the term for the little white
flower with the heart of gold which

certain Marguerite, famed in his

as her special flower, 1t, in turn, was
called marguerite.
Daisy pleased the Anglo-Saxon ear,

And he was glad enough to go, for it
was cold and he knew that it would
be long, cold night for little squir-
rel without home.
When Grandpa Squirrel opened his
door a nice bright fire was burning in
the fireplace and everything was in
apple-pie order. But it looked very
different to Bushy now and he was
glad to sit down in nice big chair
in Grandpa's tidy room.
Grandpa hurried about, making a
nice nut soup. And as Bushy watched
him he began to feel uncomfortable.
what if Grandpa found the nuts
were gone and he had only stones In
his storeroom,' he thought.
It wasn't nearly the fun Bushy had
expected it to be when he started out
that day, and if Grandpa did not have
any nuts he would have to go without
his supper as well as Grandpa.
Bushy Squirrel felt and looked very
much ashamed, but Grandpa laughed
and said, II know just how you feel,

Bushy stayed with Grandpa and he
would not let Grandpa do any work.
He got up early mornings, made the
fire and got the breakfast, and did all
he could to make up for the pranks he
had played on him and to repay him
for his kindness in giving him home.

the omen attached itself to the sub

to include the coming of any visitor,

LIVE FISH UNDER SAHARA.

From the Detroit News.
A Paris correspondent states that
there is animal life 200 and 800 feet
beneath the burning sands of the Sa-
hara desert. That is the eXtraorGi-
nary discovery made by the expert
ments of sinking artesian wells at
various points in the North African
wastes with view to possible irri
cation.
Waters drawn from great depth
were found to contain small crabs,
fish and shell fish. all alive. The dis
covery is proving an absolute puzzle,
no theory so far seeming entirely
satisfactory.
1t has been possible usually to ex-
plain the presence Of fish and shell
fish in underground waters by the
fact that they were locked up dur
ing some primeval cataclysm. These
animals adapt themselves gradually
to new conditions, but, living in
darkness, are always blind entirely
or possess special optical apparatus
suitable to darkness.
Those found underneath the Sarah
belong to species inhabiting the lakes
of Palestine.
