almost lost to sight in Morse mythol

the warrior maidens of the wild North.
Hildegarde's direct predecessor was
Hildur, chief among the Valkyrier. In
England there was a Deiran princess
Hildur who became the holy abbess
of Whitby, succeeding st. Begga.
The mother of Rolf Gangr, pro-
genitress of English royalty, who vain
ly besought Harald Harfagre not to
Danish her IONS from Norway, was
named Hildr. Hildelidis is a popular
Anglo-Saxon name.
Hildegarde was first bestowed upon
an abbess in the Palatina who was
noted for her sanctity and who died as
late as 1904. In honor of the holy
woman, Hildegarde is still very pop
ular and in common use among Ger
man ladies'. In Denmark, the same
name has been corrupted Ollegard.
The Gothic queens of Spain bore a
name almost identical, Hilduara, mean

KILLING FROGS OR TOADs

Tt Is a superstition common in this
l. and many other countries, and one
remaining from ancient times. that If
you kill a frog, or a toad. your cows
Will go dry, or at least give bloody
milk. Frogs and toads are of the same
family one is the farmer brother and
the other the sailor.
In the ancient cults it is the frog
which is generally spoken of, though.
from some of the archaic representa-
tfons and some of the myths, it is evil
lent that the distinction between the
frog and the toad was not always def
nitely drawn. For general
of superstition the two ~batrachias
may be taken as one The frog was a
sacred creature among the old Egyp-
tians; in some places it was embalmed
after death and 1t was honored with
sculptures on the tombs of Thebes. A
volume might be written on the frog
in Egyptian mythology. The Romans
got their yeneration of the. frog from
the Egyptians and the modern Italian
regards the figure of a frog as a pow
erful amulet against the evil eye. Nat
urally it brings back luck to kill the
sacred creature.
AS to why the killing of a frog or a
toad should have a particular effect
upon cows, it may be said that, while
the frog was in general the symbol of
Ptah, the god of the reproductive
forces not solar, 1t was, in some places
and in certain connections, used as the
of Isis.
And Elworthy says:
ut is said that the Egyptian Isis
was born at Argos and that she is iden-
with the cow-shaped 10, who was
the same as Hera, and both are repre-
sented in Egypt, as well as in Greece.
